I cannot get Rank analysis using the fractile() function in a calculated dimension to compute across time periods.
I am trying to use the fractile() function in a calculated dimension to show regional sales by "Quartile"
Bottom 25% = Quartile 4, 25-50% = Quartile 3, 50- 75% = Quartile 2, >75% = Quartile 1
The below calculated dimension works when displaying charts that do not display the time period (2016, 2017, 2018).
=if(aggr(sum(Profit),Region,Period) <= fractile(TOTAL (aggr(sum(Profit),Region,Period)), .25),4,
if(aggr(sum(Profit),Region,Period) <= fractile(TOTAL (aggr(sum(Profit),Region,Period)), .50),3,
if(aggr(sum(Profit),Region,Period) <= fractile(TOTAL (aggr(sum(Profit),Region,Period)), .75),2,1)))
However, when displaying period in a pivot chart as a dimension, nulls display across certain time periods. If only selecting a single period, the pivots work fine.
I have attached a screenshot and the qlikview .qvw.
I also have a sheet which uses the rank() function in its charts. Rank() works fine across time. I assume that is because rank ()is a measure?
I put another post in the "new to qlikview" board, and will remove that one.
Being a SQL God :), I decided to code a stored proc to populate a [YTD quartile] (1,2,3,4) directly into the fact records. Since this now exists as part of the load, I can use it without being a calced dimension. Right now users are satisfied this exists at the region level. If they also want to see it at the salesperson level, I will have to add that logic to the stored proc. So this becomes a workaround.
