In this chapter, we saw how to use Qlik Sense to create an application that helps us to analyze our customer data. We used a simple dataset with just 440 customers that we downloaded from the University of California website mentioned earlier. The dataset contained only two dimensions—channel and region—and six measures—Fresh, Frozen, Milk, Grocery, Delicatessen, and Detergents_Paper.
