Normality tests

Hello,

Are there in Qlik Sense any functions to test if my data has normal distribution.?

For example Kolmogorov-Smirnov test or Shapiro-Wilk test. (Normality test - Wikipedia).

To test your DATA for normal, qlik uses Skew and Kurtosis functions. As example the Skew coefficient  of  -0.015 concludes that the DATA are close to bell shape but slightly skewed to the left. The Kurtosis coefficient of 2.96  means the data is mesokurtic.
