I\u2019ve just uploaded a new extension to Qlik Branch that I\u2019d like to tell you about. The visualizations on most Qlik Sense pages are usually self-explanatory. Sometimes, one even the most well-designed sheets, you\u2019ll have complex visualizations that do require explanation or possibly even a little training.

For this post I\u2019ll be talking about something that isn\u2019t really a Qlik issue, but I initially thought it was. Recently, I was making changes to some apps to standardize the colors that were used in charts and tables.

I\u2019ve returned from the 2019 Qlik Qonnections conference and now that I\u2019m almost caught up, I\u2019ll reflect on some of the major highlights from my perspective.

In this post, I\u2019d like to share a technique for managing tables that I\u2019ve used in both QlikView and Qlik Sense apps.

Most of the time, when you create a chart, you can leave the Range selection for the X- and Y-axes on \u201cAuto\u201d. Recent versions of Qlik Sense have improved the logic that\u2019s used to determine these ranges and it\u2019s also usually the most efficient option in terms of refresh time\u2014and…<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t \t\tRead More \u00bb<\/a>\n\t\t <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/article>\n\n \n

There are many examples on the Qlik Community site that address the fundamental difference between Previous() and Peek(), but recently, I discovered an interesting behavior that I didn\u2019t see covered in any of the articles I\u2019d read.
