Help Setting up Alerts

Okay we're moving to SaaS and I have a question on how to set up alerts.  I have a sales chart that updates every 4 hours (for reasons I won't go into) sometimes the source data hasn't refreshed.

I want to monitor the measure to compare to its prior self to see if the sales value went down or stayed the same.

I'm not sure how that looks in the new Alerts feature.  I've tried several iterations, but can't seem to nail it.  Is there an example walk through on how these work.  It's just one measure.

Please send me to any (all) examples of this new tool in Qlik Cloud.  Thank you!

Hi, 

I assume you can still retrieve the prior version after a data reload? I am not sure how the chart looks like and what expressions you use, but if so, you maybe need to create a chart that contains both the old and current value, then you can just create an alert on both measures (with potentially a set-expression). 

Can you send a screenshot of the chart and expression? 

More information on creating alerts: Data alerts | Qlik Alerting Help (it is quite straightforward).
