Top 10 Viz tips - part VII - QlikWorld 2023

[Patric_Nordstrom]

At QlikWorld 2023 I hosted a session called "Top 10 Visualization tips". Here's the app I used with all tips including test data.

Tip titles, more details in app:

• Totals bar
• Store graphics in app
• Lollipop chart with images
• % of parent row total
• Random palette
• Bar chart full width
• Sparklines revisited
• KPI conditional color
• Ref line when data will change
• The best label is the shortest one
• Stacked combo with line
• Line area chart with dual axis and line symbols
• Error bars
• Pick top 3 button
• Labels with leadlines
• Pivot rotated column headers
• Waterfalls
• Map chart symbols
• Combo chart as distribution plot
• Circular mask images
• Include selections in export

I want to emphasize that many of the tips were discovered by others than me, I tried to credit the original author at all places when possible.

If you liked it, here's more in the same style:

• 24 days of visualization Season II, Season I
• Top 10 Tips Part VIII, VII, VI, V, IV, III, II , I 
• Let's make new charts with Qlik Sense
• FT Visual Vocabulary Qlik Sense version
• Similar but for Qlik GeoAnalytics : Part III,  II, I

Thanks,
Patric

Thanks for sharing @Patric_Nordstrom 

I am curious how you setup your HTML connection to https://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm  Qlik Cloud ?

Thanks

@didierodayo  I would use REST connector and bring in the page as CSV and then parse out the rows with colors.

Hi  Patric,

I just start to use qliksense, and it is quite difficult for a non-IT to get familiar with it, and your artile help me a a lot. And I'm wondering where to find more articles similar to your post?

Hello @nicolezzz 

We have excellent (and free!) training available for you to get started with Qlik Sense visualizations (though not only that). I'd recommend the New User training plan for Qlik Sense, especially the Business Analyst one.

If you're looking for more design tips and tricks, the Design blog is great.

Hope this helps!

All the best, 
Sonja
