How to add minicharts to Qlik Sense tables

[ArturoMuñoz]

A few days ago I stumbled upon one of those little tricks that we all love. Roland Vecera‌ came up with a nice solution to bring minicharts to Qlik Sense. It can help us to increase app data density and make our Qlik Sense tables sexy and informative again. Don't forget to add this to your bookmarks!

In Roland's blog post you will find instructions about how to build a linear gauge, a traffic light gauge, and even whiskers minicharts (right table in the image above),

I particularly like the linear gauge, with this technique we can now simulate small bars that goes along with each one of the table dimension items. The expression used to create the linear gauge 'bar chart' is actually reusable and very simple, looks like this:

repeat('█', rangemax(rangemin( ceil(((column(1)/column(2))-1)*10),10),1) )

The expression will paint a variable number of solid blocks █ based on a given calculation that is evaluated by row. By now you should have a nice grey bar from 1 to 10 blocks.

Next (optional) step is to apply color to it. You could add color based on any criteria you want, in the chosen example Roland is using color in the same way as he use size, both display Growth.

The text color expression looks like this in the example:

if(expression>2, argb(255,0,150,0),

     if(expression>1, argb(255,0,200,0),

         if(expression>0.5, yellow(),lightred())))

Where expression will be the same expression as in Growth column (Steigerung).

Yes-i did (that is how i actually got an example-picture from my previous post).

I know we can adjust width of columns in "Table" visualisation object, however i had an issues keeping that width on diffrent screens / resolutions behave in predictive way.

still  - so far your suggestion with chr(09608)  and chr(09617) is the best currently known.

Hi Tomasz,

Can you please share your expression?

With the cobination of chr(09608)  and chr(09617) ?

Thanks

[tomasz_tru]

for example:

repeat(chr(09608),round( [formula for percentage] * 10))

&repeat(chr(09617),10-round( [formula for percentage] *10))

Hello, could you share an example? To guide me in the implementation.

Thank You very much
