I’ve seen a lot of questions recently from people with backgrounds in Qlik View identifying some features that they use a lot in View but are currently not supported in QlikSense. 

In this document I will show you how with the use of an extension you can mimic the behaviour of a Cyclic Group in Sense.  I've also attached a working example.

Big thanks to View Profile: erikwett - Qlik Branch and his qsVariable extension that made this possible.  It dug me out of a hole where my clients users were asking for the same charts from different points of view.

18/01/2016 Update

I've an update Cyclic Group example to resolve an annoying by product of the cyclical filter example I've given in regard to the label that's displayed in the filter bar.

Big thanks to vadimtsushko for pointing out the solution which makes filtering on this a lot easier for the user to understand.

instead of showing the expression used to determine which value to group on in the filter bar, which is messy and confusing to the user. It now shows the value selected in the filter bar.

02/01/2018 Update

As of November release we now have the ability to update the labels of Dimensions and Measures dynamically as i've shown in the new sample app, before I had to hide or generalize the label which was a bit of a fudge. 

Although you can add cyclical filters into individual charts via alternative dimensions already I still feel this is a valid soluton for those with a use case needing to display the users selection over multiple charts and sheets at once.

Hope this makes sense.

Yes currently Qlik doesn't have an out the box button/slider/dropdown for variable setting and control.

I've used QSVariable for mine but since then Branch has had lots of control objects included for use in this solution.

What version of Sense are you on? I know 3.2 had issues that broke some extensions.  if you go to branch their is a new version of qsvariable to download and install.

Button is only showing sales bcz I passed 1 when created variable. If I do not pass any value, you do not see any value in your graph. in your app as well you passed 3 that's why only Month is showing and no selection is working on Button.
