How to add library measures to table visualisation on the fly?

[#1]

I am experimenting with mash ups and trying out the visualisation on the fly. When I try to create a table with a library measure I can't get it to work. It works with library dimensions but not with library measures.

table properties ‒ Qlik Sense

The example in the help gives a columns array as option, but the properites above lists a qHyperCubeDef.

This work

app.visualization.create( 'table', [ "Case Owner Group", 
          { "qDef" : { "qDef" : "Avg([Case Duration Time])", 
               "qLabel" : "Avg Case Duration Time" }, }, 
          { "qDef" : { "qDef" : "Sum( [Open Cases] )", 
               "qLabel" : "Open Cases" } } ], 
{"title" : "Case Owner Group Case stats"} ).then( function ( visual ) { visual.show( 'QV01' ); } );

This doesn't work

app.visualization.create( 'table', 
[
  {qDef: {qFieldDefs: ["Employee Status"], "qFieldLabels":["Status"]},
  qNullSuppression: true},
  {

     "qLibraryId": "vpjnFZ",
     "qDef": {
         "qTags": [],
         "qGrouping": "N",
         "qNumFormat": {
             "qType": "U",
             "qnDec": 10,
             "qUseThou": 0
         },
         "qAggrFunc": "Expr",
         "qAccumulate": 0,
         "qActiveExpression": 0,
         "qExpressions": [],
         "autoSort": true,
         "cId": "wfNgj",
         "numFormatFromTemplate": true,
         "textAlign": {
             "auto": true,
             "align": "left"
         }
     },
     "qSortBy": {
         "qSortByNumeric": -1,
         "qSortByLoadOrder": 1,
         "qExpression": {}
     },
     "qAttributeExpressions": [
         {},
         {}
     ],
     "qCalcCond": {}

  }
  ]
, 
{"title" : "Case Owner Group Case stats"} ).then( function ( visual ) { visual.show( 'QV01' ); } );

Any ideas?

When I try this I get this error.

app.obj.app.visualization.get('sKrVkv').then(function(visual){
  visual.setOptions( { "qHyperCubeDef": { "qDimensions":[{"qDef": {"qFieldDefs": ["Employee Status"],
            "qFieldLabels":["Status"]}
             }],
            "qMeasures":[] },
  "title":"Now improved"
  });
  visual.show( 'table' );
  });

"Patch value not on valid JSON format."

When I remove the fieldDef and label I don't get the error. The title shows "Now improved", and the visualization is incomplete.

app.obj.app.visualization.get('sKrVkv').then(function(visual){
  visual.setOptions( { "qHyperCubeDef": { "qDimensions":[{"qDef": {"qFieldDefs": [],
            "qFieldLabels":[]}
             }],
            "qMeasures":[] },
  "title":"Now improved"
  });
  visual.show( 'table' );
  });

Hi Karl,

To use a measure from the library you need to specify that it is a measure by adding qTyp: "measure", something like this:

qLibraryId: "vpjnFz",
qType: "measure"

Hope this helps

Thank you Erik! It works!

Is the default qType "dimension", and that's the reason it's not need for dimension?

I downloaded your mashup on Qlik Branch‌ and it was a great resource for handling the basic stuff.
