Which Qlikview object has only expression, no dimension?

Hi Suresh,

I think you mean the gauge charts (right click on any empty space of the sheet, new object, Chart, Gauge Chart). By definition, gauge charts do not use dimensions, as they show the figure (i.e.: this month's sales, new customers from Jan 1, etc).

But there are more cases where dimensions might not be used.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

     Gauge chart uses only one expressions but don't have dimensions.

     You can create other charts without dimensions too.

You didn't say what you are trying to do with the expression.  I often use a text object with a text expression to communicate information to the document user. The text could be something like =num(count(distinct CUST),'###,###')&' customers included in this report'   or  ='Sum of average sales by region is '&sum(aggr(avg(SLS),region))      The text objects can be made to appear conditionally based on the data.
