Hi All,
This is not a question on how to do something, it is rather insight of what i recently found.
I used Qlik sense (feb 2019) and Nprinting (feb 2019)
So i was testing recently different ways of building a pie chart in Nprinting and during the test i wanted to build a pixel perfect template based pie chart.
So as usual i just created simple table in Qlik Sense with one dimension and one measure. At first i did not notice that my dimension was actually dual field as this was a work i did at customer site. Then i created pixel perfect template and i created in it pie chart using wizard.
As a data source i used my simple table.
When i clicked preview i got an empty chart. I started playing with it, tried different chart types etc. still no luck.
Then accidently i changed my argument type to Numerical (instead of auto or qualitative) and it worked, but then values come out as numbers only.
I scratched my head for a minute and suddenly-voila!! I reckon it is due to dual field used as a dimension.
So here is my question to you guys @Ruggero_Piccoli & @Daniel_Jenkins .
Is this expected behaviour?
Do we have to create dedicated text fields for qualitative arguments? - it is bit annoying since i usually use dual for sorting purposes in charts
btw. Screenshot below is only to mark up area where you select argument (it is not a screenshot from my testing template, Just saying this to awoid confusion as i do not have values populated in it on Value Properties section.
Thanks
Lech
Hi,
The QlikView and Qlik Sense concept of dual doesn't exist in PixelPerfect, so the field imported in the chart can have only one type. The type depends on the selected field and the settings of the exported chart.
