QlikView New Rules


Within two days of downloading a trial version of QlikView, Shell Sweden had a prototype application for analyzing financial data. It became a customer and later expanded QlikView usage to sales and operations functions. A Nacka kommun representative emphasized how user friendly QlikView was, stating, "It is so easy to work with it seems like fun." Dakota Healthcare built an application to allow users to navigate through massive amounts of related data to each insurance claim. The 200GB database was compressed into 500MB and loaded into the RAM of a 64-bit Windows Server 2003. Zurich, a Swiss insurance firm, was able to reduce the workload of report development and maintenance from seven full-time dedicated staff to two people working over a two- to three-day period every month. IDG Denmark chose to download a trial of QlikView and had some initial skepticism about the low cost of the solution. However, due to the ease of implementation and functionality, IDG soon became a satisfied, paying customer. Deluca Homes, a manufacturer of homes turned to QlikView to provide: applications that enable monitoring of the performance of contractors involved in the building and inspection of homes, provision of KPIs to management, and analysis of financial data.

Sheets and Sheet Objects

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

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

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

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
