Hi, deepak,

its depends on your requirements, what and where you wana show,

and what is your data.

kindly tell us more about your data and requirement, so we can suggest you better option.

but in generally:

A chart dimension is the set of values for the chart to iterate over when it calculates the values for its expression(

s). In the simple case one could say that it is what appears on the x-axis in a standard bar chart.

A chart can have one or more dimensions. The upper limit depends on chart type, data complexity and the

amount of memory available. Pie, line and scatter charts can show a maximum of two dimensions, bar and

grid charts three. Radar charts can only show one dimension, gauge charts show no dimensions at all.

Hi Israr,

As we are new to Qlikview we are not able to understand about use of each and every chart(about gauge chart, funnel chart, scatter chart, grid chart, mecco chart, radar chart).Is there any tutorial available for this.

We are also not able to understand under which conditions applying expressions are mandatory.

Thanks,

deepak,

1) If you don't understand a chart, I would recommend you don't use it. Use whichever charts you do need. If you would like to learn more about different types of charts (not just QlikView's charts, but in general), I'd recommend books such as Stephen Few's "Now You See It".

2) Expressions are mandatory in every chart. If you have no expressions, you can either use a table object instead of a chart, or you can create a straight table with one arbitrary expression (e.g. just put in the number 1), and then hide that expression.
