Quick Tip for Exploring Your Data Model

9 Comments

I picked up a great tip from QlikCommunity to view field values in your data model:
http://community.qlikview.com/thread/89396

I refined it a bit and am finding it very useful.

1. Create a listbox for field “$Field”.
2. Create a Straight Table Chart with:
  a) Calculated Dimension:  =$(='[‘ & only([$Field]) & ‘]’)
  b) Expression:  =sum({1}1)

Select a $Field in the listbox and the field values and frequencies will appear in the chart. Very handy for exploring data values in your model.

  1. Thanks Rob! (it was me that couldn’t figure out the $-sign part to get it to work)

    A big part of my job is teaching analysts how to work the front end of QlikView. I’m not a developer, so any help I can get is much appreciated! If you are ever bored, feel charitable, and want to refine my other stuff, it would be much appreciated as well… I publish my tips at http://www.fortunecookiebi.com .

    Thanks again for the tip on this and on everything else you do here and in the qlikcommunity.

  3. Thanks. This is an example of a couple of objects that can be copy and pasted into any QlikView document and be useful.

  5. Very nice. I added this to my valiation tabs and I added an expression of maxstring([$Table]) to the list box so you can also see what table it is sourced from in the list box.
