Learning QlikView Data Visualization

By: Karl Pover

Overview of this book

<p>While QlikView’s data engine complements our thought processes and gives us the ability to rapidly implement insightful data discovery, we must also learn to use proper analytical and data visualization techniques to enhance our ability to make data more presentable.</p> <p>Learning QlikView Data Visualization presents a simple way to organize your QlikView data discovery process. Within the context of a real-world scenario and accompanying exercises, you will learn a set of analytical techniques and data visualization best practices that you can customize and apply to your own organization.</p> <p>We start our data discovery project by reviewing the data, people, and tools involved. We then go on to use rank, trend, multivariate, distribution, correlation, geographical, and what-if analysis as we try to resolve the problems of QDataViz, Inc, a fictitious company used as an example. In each type of analysis, we employ highlighting, heat maps, and other techniques on top of multiple chart types. Once we have a possible solution, we present our case in a dashboard and use performance indicators to monitor future actions.</p> <p>You will learn how to properly create insightful data visualization in QlikView that covers multiple analytical techniques. By reusing what you’ve learned in Learning QlikView Data Visualization, your organization’s future data discovery projects will be more effective.</p>

Summary


Multivariate analysis entails the visualization and analysis of a large number of variables. This analysis method can be implemented by using table charts as a heat map or using mini-charts embedded within table charts. We used the data visualization style guide to make tables easily understandable.

After further analysis, Samantha is more convinced that there is a relationship between the profit or loss a customer contributes to QDataViz, Inc. and the number of days worked for that customer.

We continue our analysis of QDataViz, Inc. and take a closer look at how the number of days worked is distributed between customers using distribution analysis.
