To display Positive and Negative Signs in KPI Object

[kicchu465]

Hi All,

I have requirement as below.

To populate positive and negative values like +1.1% or -2.5% and apply the colour Green for Positive values and Red for negative values using KPI Object in qlik Sense

The meaure I have used.

Num(Num($(Field1%)-$(Field2),'#,##0.0%'),'+#,##0.0%')

By appying the above I can the acheive the result but I am unable to display the '+' & '-' sign.

I have then Used Num(Num($(Field1%)-$(Field2),'#,##0.0%'),'+#,##0.0%') & Chr(10),By using this I can display the display the '+' & '-' but I am unable to Set the colours under Colour Tab.

The message shows "There is some error in the expression".

Is there any alternate to acheive this??

Thanks

Hi,

Have you tried like this?

if(Num(Num($(Field1%)-$(Field2),'#,##0.0%'),'+#,##0.0%') & Chr(10) >0, Green(),red())

also u can try to use this simple table KPI extension.

Hi,

KPI objects allow you to set colours and formats in the properties.

Select Custom format and type:

+#,##0.0%;-#,##0.0%

Then go to Appearance, turn Conditional Colours On and add a limit, type 0, click on the left colour and select Red, then click on the right colour and select Green. It should be something like this:

Your KPIs should look like this for example:

Instead of Selecting Custom formatting and specifying the format I've shown before you could've also set the format to Auto and have num with something like this:

=Num(aggregation(calculations),'+#,##0.0%;-#,##0.0%')

KPI Objects don't have the Background and Foreground colour expressions that other objects have, a table for example, in which you could've done this:

In which I've set the colour in the background to something like:

=If(aggregation(calculations)>=0,Green(),Red())

I hope his helps,

Cheers,

Luis
