Map color code by expression not working (anymore)

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Since the upgrade of the new qliksense version, it seems like the colorcoding by expression doesn't work anymore.

Even an expression as simple as:

=if(1=1,rgb(0,0,0),rgb(100,0,0))

Doesn't do anything.

I even tried:

=rgb(0,0,0) as the sole thing in my expression, the on the map remain grey...

Anyone else experiencing this issue? And if so, how can it be fixed?

(or is it a bug?)

Kind regards,

Christophe

Meanwhile, I re-created a map in my upgraded qliksense desktop, and the ability to color code points on a map disappeared entirely?

Ok, in the meantime I found the "Appearance" tab was hidden behind the bottom grey bar so I was able to expand it by clicking on the one pixel which appeared above it...

However, the issue persists... -- no matter what I fill in in the expression, the colors remain grey:

Ok, problem resolved!

The issue is the following:

While the qlik documentation says this should work:

if(Sum([Sales]) < 10000, 'red', green())

It doesn't

Even the color functions need to be written between single quotes.

So this is how DOES work:

if(Sum([Sales]) < 10000, 'red', 'green()')

I just spent 4 hours looking for this... Probably this needs to be rectified in the documentation or in the programming of the tool.

Kind regards,

Christophe

Hi,

I've tried your solution but it did not work for me.

My expression is:

ColorMix2(Avg(Avance)*2/100-1,'red','green','yellow')

And the map remains in grey.

In the previous version it actually worked, but, as you said, not anymore.

Any clue?

Hi Christophe,

This is a bug in the June 2017 release.

It has been fixed and will be part of the first patch and then you won't need the single quotes.

Best regards,

Patrik.
