Mini Chart in Straight Table

[#1]

I'm green to qlikview and facing problem about building minichart in a straight table, wish some experts could give me a hand...

I have some data in format like this:

Year	Month	Project	Staff Cost	Turnover
2013	5	A	10,000	50,000
2013	6	A	15,000	40,000
2013	7	A	10,000	80,000
2013	8	A	13,000	60,000

I would like to have a straight table showing like this, when I select Aug 2013:

Project	Staff Cost % (Aug 2013)	Staff Cost % Trend (Past 12 months)
A	22%	minichart
B	13%	minichart
C	20%	minichart
D	14%	minichart
E	5%	minichart
F	30%	minichart
G	17%	minichart

Many thanks!!!!

You won't be able to select one month and also use that same Month dimension for the minichart. So I think you're going to need an AsOf table to link a month to its past-12-months-period. See attached example. And see this document for more information: Calculating rolling n-period totals, averages or other aggregations.

Very helpful! Thanks!

Hi there,

I am just inquiring about your solution to rolling charts in a straight table.

I was just wondering if there is some way you can make the rolling 12 month minichart responsive to selections in the fields of month and year,

I am currently building a dashboard that has the Period and FY as possible selections on the screen and as you already illustrated I can't build a working minichart in my straight table because of dimension issues.

I was hoping you might have some insight into how I might be able to build in a working rolling 12 month system similar to what you have done in comm91360. Would you be able to creat an AsOf table that is tied to a year and month selection but incorporates the previous 12 months and then have this as minichart dimension?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Try changing the expressions to sum({<Month=,Period1=, AsOfPeriod=P(Period1)>}Sales). That way the selection in the Month and Period1 field are ignored by the expression, but the AsOfPeriod field gets filtered to the possible values from the Period1 field as a result of the selection in the Month field. Still with me?

1. Select one Month value

2. That gives one possible value in the Period1 field

3. That one Period1 value is used to filter the AsOfPeriod field in the expression.

4. To make the expression use only the AsOfPeriod selection the other selections need to be reset otherwise we don't get a rolling 12, but a rolling 1 month. Therefore...

5. Reset the selections in Month and Period1 with Month=, Period1=
