How to make a scatter chart for time vs events?

Hi,

I have a database in the following format:

IDAbsoluteTimestampRelativeTimeEventEventID
115th Aug 2015 18:23:25..0000Event A1
215th Aug 2015 18:23:26.0001Event B2
315th Aug 2015 18:23:27.0002Event C3
415th Aug 2015 18:23:28.0003Event A1
515th Aug 2015 18:23:29.0004Event D4

I want to draw a scatter chart that shows occurence of all events with respect to time.

So on X axis I want to have relative time and on Y axis I want to have EventID or Event names.

The problem lies when I try to show events which have multiple entries at some point of time.

Eg: In this example its Event A that is repeated at time 0 and time 3.

The scatter chart doesn't show this event A and more like this events which have multiple entries at different point of time at all.

Please suggest how should I proceed in generating such event vs time chart. I want to show all the events with respect to time.

Also each Event type (Event with same name and ID) should be shown in same color symbol/bubble.

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!

Works OK for me:

Is that what you are after?

With Advance mode check box cleared:

X Relative Time

Y EventID

Hi Jonathan,

Is it possible to show event at RelativeTime 0 and 3 in same color as both points indicate same event?


Thanks for the quick response!

Hi Swuehl,

I could not understand your point?

Do you want me to upload a sample ".qvf"?

This is the perfect solution.

I didn't know about the dual functionality of QlikView.

Thanks a lot Swuehl

Dear Swuehl,

In the chart you provided I checked if we show legends then the Events are duplicated.

Is there any solution to that?
