Students at XJTLU China develop apps using Qlik Sense
At XJTLU China, during a summer school boot camp, participants worked on a business scenario to prepare for a business case to develop and challenge their assumptions at different stages.

Participants were divided into project teams and discussed those assumptions in virtual rooms. Project teams collected, interpreted, analyzed various forms of internal and external data, and presented their results in the form of digital artifacts (visual dashboards of performance indicators) to a Judge Panel using the Technological Authoring Tool Application (Qlik Sense).

What is a heatmap chart?
Heatmaps are two-dimensional representations of data that show magnitudes as colors. A color variation - may be based on hue or intensity - gives a clear indication to the reader of how the data measured is distributed or varies over space.
The result should be a data piece that doesn't require a lot of explanation. Typically, warm high-contrast colors are used to represent high-value data points, while cool colors represent low-value data points in heatmaps.
Most common Birth Dates (US)
Qlik Sense Feb 22 (day of the month/month)
The chart above is an excellent use case for a heatmap, it is simple and straight to the point. Births are fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, with a slight bias towards the summer months. The average number of births drops significantly on some days, such as 4th July, 24th-25th December, and January 1st.
There is also a very popular version control product out there that displays a punch-card-like activity chart like the one below that I think is an excellent implementation of a heatmap.
Not my profile
With the February 22 release, the Grid Chart will be your first choice when it comes to heatmaps. In addition to all the features that one expects in a Grid Chart, there is now a shortcut that lets us create a heatmap just like that.
Remember that this chart is especially useful if it is self-explanatory, so try to avoid complex combinations of dimensions. This chart is best suited to time-series-based dimensions.
Enjoy it!

Evaluate() Function
The Evaluate() function is a string function that takes one text string parameter. If the string is a valid QlikView or Qlik Sense expression then the evaluated result of the expression will be returned. If the string is not a valid expression, then Null is returned. The Evaluate() function can only be used in the script and not in a chart expression. Evaluate() will do the math for you in the script and return the result. For example, if yo... Show MoreThe Evaluate() function is a string function that takes one text string parameter. If the string is a valid QlikView or Qlik Sense expression then the evaluated result of the expression will be returned. If the string is not a valid expression, then Null is returned. The Evaluate() function can only be used in the script and not in a chart expression. Evaluate() will do the math for you in the script and return the result. For example, if you are loading a field whose content is expressions like this:
Then you can view that data in two ways. You can either view the actual expression or you can use Evaluate() and view the results.
The Evaluate() function is also useful when you are loading a number from a text file or a text field in a database with more than 14 digits. When that number is loaded into QlikView, it is interpreted as a string since it is too long (more than 14 digits).
Note that while using Evaluate() returns a number, it is only stored with 14 digit precision. While you may be able to see more than 14 digits, this is just the formatting. The internal mantissa is only 14 digits.
Evaluate() can similarly be used with variables which can be helpful if you have a value that you would like to use multiple times in the script.
So why use a Evaluate()? At first it seemed unnecessary to me because the calculation would still be done without the Evaluate() function but then I realized that that is only the case when the values are numeric and not strings. So Evaluate() is helpful when your expression is in a string format or when the expression is a number with more than 14 digits. It allows a string expression to be evaluated and the result returned. It is like a short-cut to solving the expression. Try it out!
Thanks,
Jennell
