Conditional colors in qliksense

Hello All,

I have a requirement in my project (qliksense)that if the extractor fails or if some of the source files (excel) are not updated at the time of reload, I need to display a circle filled with red color on top of a sheet. If all the sources are updated and also if the extractor is success then the circle should be displayed filled with green color.

Can anyone help me to know how can I achieve this in qlik sense? what chart types can I use? and how to do this? Or do you have a better idea to track the extractor failure and data sources updation details on the dashboard?

 

Regards

Anusha

Hi Anusha.  A simple way to do that is:

- Add a pie chart, with Dimension  = any fixed text, i.e. ='Reload result' and Measure=1 (fixed).

- In Colors and Legend, select by Expression and fill it with something like this: 

               if(today()-reloadtime()<1,'green','red')         // if you reload once per day and fails, it will be more than 1

If you need to check many sources at load, you can save a log table with field "Errors". Each step may contains 0 ('No errors') or 1 ('Error'), then add it in the above expression.

You should be noted that if the upload fails with errors, the data will not be recorded. 

The visual result could be:
