I am looking to add a weekly filter onto my Qlik dashboard to allow me to change the weekly data that is displayed on my dashboard. My original idea works well as I wanted to display the latest weeks data and compare this to the previous weeks and this gives me exactly what I want.
To enhance this and give the dashboard a bit more flexibility and just in case someone wanted to look at a different week, I thought it might be a good idea to add a weekly filter but the way I have built the dashboard won't allow me to do this. The following is an example of what I have:
In my database table I have a rank column (latest_week_rank) where the latest weekending (i.e. Mon 13th to Sun 19th Jan) has a value of 1 and the 2nd latest week would be 2 etc. I have then written the following code in my data tab:
latest_week = 1;
previous_week = 2;
I have then written the following which is then called within a Multi KPI:
vOrdersWTD =Sum({<latest_week_rank = {$(latest_week)}>} total_orders)
This is obviously where the problem lies as having the weekly filter makes no difference as no other weeks show up but I am not sure how I change my code in order to make this all work.
I would really appreciate if somebody could advise on how I can change this around.
