This is a full tutorial for developers wishing to build Qlik Sense applications.  It's a complete and self contained tutorial that uses real data with real data problems. The tutorial covers the following topics:

• Loading data from files
• Renaming and editing data
• Building charts (line charts, pie charts, scatter plots, tables, filters, gauges, text & images)
• Avoiding repetition using master items
• Viewing the data model
• Consistent colors and good visual design
• Mobile development.

The installer includes all of the files you need to run the tutorial, including all data files, a full set of instructions, and completed applications for you to play with. There's also an accompanying YouTube video that illustrates every step of the process.

Requirements

You must have Qlik Sense installed on your system. You must install the tutorial files (using the installer below).

Hi. Page 29 - when you add Area measure you don't show a SUM in the expression dialogue picture. Is that intentional?

It is a really good way to get going + video... changing the way people learn.

Hi Adam,

Thank you very much for your comment. I find feedback like this really helpful.

The tutorial is correct, but...

The data set I have shows just one area number for territories. For what I'm doing in this tutorial, you don't need an aggregation, so you don't need sum. The tutorial is correct in this sense.

But I thought about your comment and what it implies. It's possible that someone might want to use area with a dimension like region. In this case, the aggregation would be needed. So the tutorial should use an aggregation here and you are right - sum is the correct one.

So I've updated the tutorial. I've changed the screen shot and updated the files to include sum as the aggregation. I've left the video as it is because changing the video will take a long time.

If you download the tutorial now, you should see page 29 changed.

Thanks again Adam - I appreciate your help to make things better!

Hey,
This tutorial is awesome.

Is there a possibility to make the Date available in a different method?
In my working environment it is not simply allowed to install exe files.

Thanks
