How to create a Bar Chart with more than one Dimension, Expression

Dear All,

I am having a challenge of presenting the data in a chart with more than one dimension, expression. Qlik is only showing only one dimension If I show in Bar Chart.

The data will be like this

Year        Month      Quantity  Amount

2012            Jan             50          5000

2012            Feb             60        10000

2012            Mar             70        15000

2013            Jan             50          5000

2013            Feb             60        10000

2013            Mar             70        15000

2014            Jan             50          5000

2014            Feb             60        10000

2014            Mar             70        15000

In pivot table its possible. But I want this as a Bar Chart or an appropriate chart.

                    Qty    Amount     Qty   Amount          Qty   Amount

2012

                    Jan                    Feb                  Mar

                    Qty    Amount     Qty   Amount          Qty   Amount

2013

                    Jan                    Feb                  Mar

                    Qty    Amount     Qty   Amount          Qty   Amount

2014

                    Jan                    Feb                  Mar

Regards,

Ashok

Hi,

If you use two dimensions and expressions, the bar chart is formatted as a stacked chart. And since the Quantity is very less as compared to the Amount numbers, you are not able to see the two bars as shown in the attached qvw. The alternatives are to use two separate bar charts or split axes or merge the dimensions of year and date as suggested by Adam.

If your dimensions are Year and Month, then create drill down/cyclic group using these 2 dimensions.

Take Combo Chart, instead of Bar chart. Here you are showing 2 different measures, split the 2 axis..
