Where clause as a chart filter

[#1]

Hi there,

I've been trying out qlik sense for a few days and have got the gist some basics like;

- adding datasets from an an ODBC database

- creating charts and cross tabs etc

- using filter panes to interrogate the above

What I'd like to do is assign a filter to an object like a chart, crosstab.

An example would be;

- Let's say the dataset I load consists of the fields age, name and country.

- I add a bar chart to qlik sense, add the name as the dimension and count(age) as the measure, but I only want to see records from a particular country as a fixed filter / condition/

An SQL example would look like

Select name, count(age)

From dataset

Where country = 'USA'

I might then add a 2nd chart to the same sheet but filter on a different country, thereby showing different results from the same dataset.

What are my options for achieving this is Qlik Sense?

Cheers

You can use set analysis for filtering data. So for example, you can do like this:

Count({<country = {'USA'}>} age)

You can read about set analysis here:A Primer on Set Analysis

Also read about set analysis in the attached document:

try this in chart expression

count({<country={'USA'}>}age)

it will show age count only for USA

Hi Sunny,

Thanks for this. I will need to read over this on the weekend to get my head around the syntax.
