Hello got a barchart

Hi Ali,

would you mind being a bit more verbose about your requirement?

What I can deduct from your pics is just that in image_3 it seems you have three dimensions, one being built into the stacking, while in image_2 there seem to be only two, with one being in the stacking.

image 1 is the required output

however in QlikView it seems we cannot accomplish this design

the Dimensions are QC_Module, QC_Theme, and Coverage_Status

in Image 2 I created a bar chart and added QC_Module and Coverage_status in the dimensions

Image 2 seems fine but when I add the third dimension (QC_Theme) in the following order (QC_Theme, QC_Module, Coverage_Status) I get what is shown in image 3

why bars become so thin?

what shall I do to make image 3 somehow readable?

Hi Ali,

it's not a bug, it's a feature ,-)

The bars become so thin simply because they have to - there is no more space available. With your first two dimensions QC_Theme and QC_Module, there is a lot of "data points" to be displayed - you seem to have Null_values in the dimensions, too,

there seem to be blank spaces in your second dimension QC_Module. Have you checked the "suppress Null_values" checkbox on the "dimension" tab?

I'm afraid the best hint I can give you here is the easiest one: To make the chart better legible, you have to limit the amount of data you display - add a multi-selection-box for instance where the user can choose which parts he/ she wants to see.

HTH
