Win an e-book copy of Learning QlikView Data Visualization

[#1]

This week I'm giving away three e-book copies of Learning QlikView Data Visualization.

To be eligible to win all you have to do is comment what data visualization method you would like to do in QlikView that you have not been able to do until now.   It could either be a chart or a technique.

For example, I would like to do be able to do scatterplot matrices like the one below.

Don't forget to include a picture or link that explains the data visualization method you would like to do in QlikView.

Please respond by Monday, Nov. 4th and I will announce the winners on Wednesday, Nov. 6th after an old-fashioned drawing.  Soon after the e-books will be delivered to the winners' e-mails as a Kindle e-book.

You don’t need a kindle to read the e-book.  You can download the kindle application from amazon.com and view it from your laptop or iPad.

For more information, visit my blog http://bit.ly/18ATRLu.

Good luck!

Hi Rebeca,

Thanks.  It is possible to do in native QlikView, but QlikView doesn't make it easy.  Regards.

Hi Nicole,

I agree it would be nice if QlikView made it easier to create parallel coordinates charts.  I recently posted on how to create one without using an extension.

Hi Fred,

Just in case you haven't seen this post, I recommend it for creating a simplified version of a Gantt chart.

Hi Philippe,

The improvement of where various chart components are placed would be great.  If there are few values in the legend you can place them below or above the chart using the Shift+Crtl.

Hi Alan,

You're right.  The pop-ups could definitely improve.

Hi Manish,

I never thought about that.  I don't know how easier that would be, but it would be great for story-telling.

Hi Sokkorn,

Good idea.  QlikView does animation and it does trails, but it doesn't leave trails when animating.
