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

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 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
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
