#26 ⏱ Time Grid Chart in Qlik Sense

Wanna create a Grid Chart in #Qlik Sense ? Just hack the Scatter Plot chart ! 👨‍💻

In a recent post Patrick Tehubijuluw used an extension to represent his playlist as a Time Grid https://bit.ly/3aYpW7w Why an extension ? Because we don't have a Grid chart in Qlik Sense as in QlikView.

I find this visualisation interesting and wondered how I could achieve that with only built in Qlik Sense features

Hack the Scatter Plot ! 🧙‍♂️

Do you find this chart usefull ?

I'm curious Patrik Lundblad, is the Grid chart in the dataviz Roadmap ?

❓How To❓

To understand you have to figure the difference between Grid and Scatter Chart

Grid Chart :
2 dimensions for axis & 1 measure for plots

Scatter Chart :
1 dimensions for plots & 2 measures for axis

In the dimension, concatenate your two dimensionals field. In my case : ="WeekDay"&'-'&"Hour"

Create numerical field for your 2 dimensions and use avg() on them for the two measures.
