Stacked preceding load blocks

Table association by field alias syntax
▪ Create or break table associations by aliasing fields in
the table LOAD block TableName:
▪ Syntax is:
LOAD
o SourceFieldName AS TargetFieldName
G * 100 AS X;
Direction of row data

Data transformations LOAD
E - F AS G;
▪ Transformation of data can occur:
o On a source database server, prior to loading into Qlik Sense
o On the Qlik Sense side, as data is received (preferred method) LOAD
▪ Use powerful Qlik Sense functions in the table preceding LOAD block A + B AS E,
C * D AS F;
Preceding load blocks

SQL SELECT
▪ Can access any of the fields passed up from the block below A,
▪ Handle data in a row-by-row stream (except optimized QVD files) B,
▪ Enable expression caliculatons to be performed on the Qlik Sense side C,
▪ Are best practice for loading data into Qlik Sense models D

Name the new master measure: “Revenue”.

Sum(AROpen)-Sum(ARCurrent)
Name the new master measure: “Amount Overdue”.

Sum(ARAvgBal)/Sum(ARSalesPerDay)
Name the new master measure: “Days Sales Outstanding”.
• Edit the charts which already exist on Sheet 2 to use these new master measures.
- Add Revenue as a measure on the Treemap.
- Add Revenue as a measure on the Bar chart.
- Add Amount Overdue as a measure on the Pie chart.
- Add Days Sales Outstanding and Amount Overdue as measures on the Scatter plot.
Drill-down Dimension
• Create a new master dimension which relates product groupings.
- Make the new dimension a Drill-down with the following fields:

Product Group Desc
Product Type Desc
Product Sub Group Desc
- Name this new drill-down dimension: “Product Hierarchy”.
• Edit Sheet 3.
- Add the new drill-down dimension, Product Hierarchy, to the partially-configured bar chart.

- Select the Frozen Foods bar and confirm. What happens to the bar chart?
(Answer: The second level of the drill-down hierarchy, Product Type Desc, is revealed.)
- Clear all selections.

- Select the Alcoholic Beverages bar and confirm. What happens to the bar chart?
(Answer: The third level of the drill-down hierarchy, Product Sub Group Desc, is revealed,
because there is only one value at the second level of the drill-down hierarchy for Alcoholic
Beverages: Beer and Wine.)
- Clear all selections.
Making a Master Visualization

• Return to Sheet 2.
- Make the donut-shaped Pie chart, titled Amount Overdue by Customers, into a master
visualization (be certain that you are toggled into Edit mode).
- What happens to the Properties panel once this pie chart becomes a Master item?
(Answer: Because it is a ‘Linked visualization’, the properties cannot be edited directly,
but they can be edited if you click the Edit button which is presented in the properties
panel. Or, you may use the Master items ( ) section in the assets panel in order to
edit ( ) this master visualization.)
• Edit the Master visualization, Amount Overdue by Customers.
o In the Data section of the Properties panel, expand the Customer dimension and change
the Limitation to show the top 20 instead of the top 10 customers. Click Done to apply
the change.
Color Based on Master Measure

Sum([Sales Price]) measure.
o In the assets panel, edit the Actual Expense Total master measure to color items yellow.
▪ Notice that the bars in the bar chart on this sheet are colored yellow.
o Return to Sheet 1, and notice that bars in the bar chart on this sheet associated with this
master measure are colored yellow, and the KPI value associated with this master
measure is also colored yellow.
Custom Color Scheme Based on Master Dimension Values

• Note the colors currently applied to the pie chart.
• Edit the Account Type master dimension.
o Use the Value colors tab to assign specific colors to each of

the values as follows:
▪ General Costs = #009688

▪ Other Costs = #E91E63
▪ Staff Costs = #FF9800
▪ Null values = #323132
o Notice the impact that this custom color scheme has had on
the pie chart.
Custom Color Scheme Based on Master Measure Values
• Edit the Account Overdue master measure.
o Use the Segment colors tab to configure the following

settings for a custom color scheme:
▪ Segment colors = Custom.
▪ Select a template scheme = Basic.
▪ Segment format = Percentage.
▪ Click to Add limit.

• Set lower limit at 30%.
• Set lower limit at 70%.
▪ Color lower segment = #f90616.

▪ Color middle segment = #fcff0e.
▪ Color higher segment = #349334.
▪ For both limits, check the Gradient checkbox.
o Save the changes to this master measure.
• Edit the properties of the pie chart to show this custom color scheme.
o After agreeing to Edit this ‘Linked visualization’, visit the Appearance section, Colors
and legend subsection of the properties panel.
▪ Change the Library colors switch to On.
o Click Done to complete these property changes to this master visualization.

• The resulting pie chart should appear as you see below.
Create and apply an Alternate state
• With Sheet 2 viewed in ‘analyze’ mode, select the Supermarkets dimension in the Revenue by
Sales Rep treemap.
o Notice that the data in the scatter plot, bar chart, and pie chart adjust to show only the

following two customers: Valley Solutions and RFI Corporation.
▪ Note that the treemap and the scatter plot do not respond to this selection made
to the ‘default’ selection state.
Publishing an App
• If you have access to a Qlik Sense Enterprise deployment, try importing your app and publishing
in that environment. What master item content is available in the published app?
Answer:
- Master items, including Dimensions, Measures, and Visualizations,
are available for other users to build their own sheets.
- Alternate states are also available for the users of a published app
to apply to visualizations which they create.
