10. Sheets and Sheet Objects

11. Sheets and Sheet Objects
• Sheet Basics
A QlikView document uses at least one sheet on which sheet objects are
displayed.
Even if a number of sheet objects have been placed on several different
sheets, all sheet objects are still fully connected by the QlikView logic.

12. • Sheet Objects Include:
List Boxes
Statistics Boxes
Multi Boxes
Table Boxes
Charts
Input Boxes
Current Selections Boxes
Buttons
Text Objects
Line/Arrow Objects
Slider/Calendar Objects
Bookmark Objects
Custom Objects
System Tables
Sheets and Sheet Objects

13. Add sheet (via Layout) (or button)
Sheet properties
List box: select fields: Layout – Select fields
Shift click
Ctrl click

14. Activate a sheet object: click caption
Move a sheet object on a sheet: click and drag
Resize sheet object: like windows
Copy on same sheet: ctrl click and keep caption -- drag – loose ctrl
and mouse
Move to another sheet: click hold and drag to tab
Delete: via right mouse click or click caption and press delete button

15. First exercises
1 Open file Film and save as Film2
2 Create a new tab, copying Qvgids and name it « IP »
3 Create a box « current selections»

16. The List Box

17. The List Box
• The List Box is the most common QlikView object.
List of all possible distinct values of a field
one value represents multiple rows in source data
• It provides one of the simplest ways of making a query and can
also be used to navigate in QlikView

18. The List Box: Additional Functionality
• Performing a simple search
A value:  green  other table’ values whit or grey
• Performing an advanced search
Search String: click in caption (hoofding) – wildcards * and ?
Select excluded (e.g. all customers without “er”) right mouse click
• Create new list box: right mouse click
• CTRL-Click: multiple selections
• Simultaneous selections in multiple list boxes  like AND
• Locking (= clear proof; blue, yellow) and Unlocking Selections
Lock button
• Beacons: green blue red dot: indicates selection in other tab

26. List boxes exercise
1 Create a list box for movie title and another for year
2 Experiment with the settings

27. The Table Box - Tabelobject
The Table Box is a sheet object that shows several fields
simultaneously
It is a combination of list boxes. Instead of placing each field in its own
object separately, however, the Table Box combines them. The
content of every row is logically connected. The columns may be
fetched from different input tables, letting the user create tables
from any possible combination of input tables.
When you want to present the contents of several list boxes in one
table, you need a Table Box
 to view data on detailed level
 not really for graphs or selections

28. The Table Box
•A series of List Boxes
presented in comparison
with the Table Box

29. Table box
Make table wider
Widen a column

on a column value: right click and sort
Or via properties sort
Export

To QV export file

30. The Table Box: Advantages
Some advantages of Table Boxes include:
Making selections
Sorting
Printing
Exporting

31. Table box exercises
1 Make a table box with actor, director and year
2 Sort decreasing on year and change sequence actor-director
3 Give it style « pyjama green »
4 Make a listbox of rating
5 Pick rating 6 and search in table box which movies from Donald
Sutherland have that rating;
6 Export the result to QVO file and try to open from Excel

32. The Multi Box
The Multi Box offers the ultimate solution to the problem of displaying
a large number of list boxes on the same sheet.
The Multi Box is a set of dropdown list boxes gathered within the
same frame. As the picture illustrates, every field is represented by
a row in the multi box.
Multiple fields can be combined into a single Multi Box.
Compare the space used for the list boxes with the Multi Box

33. The Multi Box: Advantages
Less space is required in the layout. Less clutter
Possible to display a large number of fields in a single Multi Box
Displays the result of selections that result in a one-to-one
relationship, since no data is shown until the selections define a
single result in a Multi Box field

34. Multi Box
1 Make a multibox with Reference, language and title
2 Experiment with the settings

35. The Text Object
Text objects are used for adding information to a QlikView document.
They can be used to show text information or an image in the
layout. They can be moved and positioned anywhere on a sheet,
just like any other sheet object.
Text objects can also be used effectively for displaying the results of
calculations, and to create backgrounds.
Think of a Text object as a blank object for content. You can use it to
create an introduction page for your QlikView application, or simply
to display the data model that supports your analysis. Text objects
can also be used for pictures and can also contain calculations

36. The Text Object
Examples

37. The Text Object
Don’t exagerate because higher visual complexity
1 Create a text object in purple with your name as a header and in the
object a picture of a turtle
2 Make a second text object containing the data model of the tables

38. Charts
1. Close Film2 and open OnlineSales
2. Create a new tab « grahs » and make the background white
3. Create two list boxes: CustomerName and SalesAmount

39. Charts
Charts are a collection of graphical objects that can display one or
several expressions plotted over one or several dimensions, such
as ”Orders Per Year."
In QlikView, you will recognize the most common chart types: bar,
line and pie charts, but several other types, including two kinds of
tables, are also included as charts.
Icon Quick chart wizard or right click new sheet object chart

40. Charts
Dimension: customer x-axe
Expression: sales y-axe
Fast type change
e.g. sales person line sales amount
Statistical trend lines (in expressions)
Max visible number (presentation tab)
Reference (France, then Canada)
Drill down: click on bar

41. Charts: Common Types
Chart Types:
Bar
Line
Combo
Radar
Gauge
Scatter
Grid
Pie
Funnel
Block
Pivot (table)
Straight (table)

42. Charts: Set Reference
In many cases, it is useful to compare chart data for different
selections. For this purpose, you can use chart reference
The reference in the example shows the sales of men’s footwear in
light blue behind the currently selected women’s footwear sales

43. Drilldown
Chart with product drilldown, region drilldown, etc
Powerful!

44. Charts exercises

4 Only display top 5
5 Put the Y-value in the chart

45. Multidimensional Charts, Tables
Multidimensional charts contain, as the name implies, more than one
dimension.
In a multidimensional chart, we might combine Year (the time
dimension) with Country to analyze sales from year-to-year.
We will also explore an as yet unexplored chart-type, the Pivot Table.

In presentation show partial sums for three dimensions
Other sequence: drag and drop

48. Multidimensional Charts, Tables
• Visual Cues (like conditional formatting in Excel)

49. Multidimensional Charts, Tables: Exercises
1 Create a multidimensional table: per year the number of orders, nr of
customers and total sales
Use cilinders in the chart, values on top of each cilinder and change
colors. Use a title in a nice layout
2 Create a pivot table with total sales per customer, product group and
year and make it in style « pivot1 »
3 Make a straight table for sales, cost and margin and use two
decimals for margin. Use visual cues for margin

50. Gauges
Gauges represent a dimensionless expression, and reflect the
selection status (what has been clicked) in the QlikView
application.
They are most commonly used in QlikView dashboards. (KPI)
A Gauge is a Chart Object.

51. Gauges
There are six types of gauges in QlikView

52. Gauges
Expressions in Tables can be displayed as gauges

53. Gauge chart creation
No dimension
Sum(SalesAmount) / Sum(All SalesAmount)
Per country
tekstvak (tekst in grafiek) toevoegen en dat slepen (ctrl shift)
Exercise
Gauge chart for margin (%) and change types, segments, style, …

54. Buttons
Buttons can be used to execute various commands in QlikView.

55. Buttons
Examples
Buttons may look quite different. In the
Background group, you have the choice
between a Plain background, Aqua, which
gives the button a glassy look, and Image. If
you decide to use an Image option you can
either use a single image or a combined
image consisting of three pictures (for the
active, the pressed and the inactive button) in
a horizontal row. QlikView supports the image
formats bmp, jpg, jpeg and png.
