switching between measures

Is there a quicker/more user friendly way to change to alternative measures in Qlik Sense rather than going through the exploration menu?

Thanks,

Nick

Suppose I have 3 measures:

sum(CA)

sum(Quantity)

sum(Marge)

And I want to have all 3 measures in the same graphic.

You can add them as alternative measures as you're doing.

ANother way is to create an inline table in the script:

Let's call it:

Measures:

load * inline [

Measure

CA

QUANTITY

MARGE

];

Now, in our graphic we only have to use one measure:

sum(if(Measure='CA',

CA,

if(Measure='QUANTITY',

[Quantité] ,

if(Measure='MARGE',

Marge ))))

Add the new created field Measure as a filter object, and when you select a value, your measure will change with your selection:

Example:

I select CA: I get sum(CA) as a measure in my bar chart

Capture.PNG

I select Marge:(I get sum(marge) as a measure of my bar chart

Capture.PNG

Hope this helps

Hi Omar,

Thanks for the reply, I will give this a try on Monday.

This may be a stupid question but how do you get the filter object to show the selection dots as you have above?

Thanks,

Nick

It's an extension object; you'll find it attached.

To use an extension,

please put it under:

C:\Users\yourUser\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Extensions

then unzip it.

This is the easiest method i figured for myself. You create alternative measures and choose to display 'Labels and Title' in the Appearance section. One the sheet the toggle shows on the axis title (last screenshot)
