Summary


In this chapter, you learned about key performance indicators and several different ways of creating visual displays of them in QlikView. We began creating set expressions and used expression shortcuts. We created three KPI gauges for Return on Investment, Return on Assets, and Return on Expenses. We created a common size income statement chart and did some analysis of that chart to see how visualization can be useful in data comparison.

In the next chapter, we will begin examining a QlikView example dashboard for a chief financial officer, where we will examine more KPIs and more QlikView objects to see how they are used in this dashboard.
