July 11th, 2023 by Shachee Swadia

Pareto Chart built using JavaScriptWelcome to this step-by-step tutorial that will empower you to create an interactive Pareto chart using JavaScript that will look nice on any device and in any browser!

A Pareto chart is a captivating graphical combo representation that showcases individual values through descending bars, while a line graph illustrates the cumulative total. It is a powerful tool highlighting the relative importance of different categories within a dataset. Named after the visionary economist Vilfredo Pareto, the Pareto chart embodies the Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule. This principle reveals that approximately 80% of effects stem from a mere 20% of causes. With their ability to pinpoint the most significant elements driving a specific scenario, Pareto charts have become indispensable in certain areas of data analysis.

Every chart needs data, and for this tutorial, I have chosen a dataset to serve as an example for illustration. Together, we will embark on a journey to visualize the major customer complaints for consumer loans in a Pareto chart, demonstrating how easily you can achieve it at every step. So get ready, and let’s dive into the world of Pareto charts and create our own interactive masterpiece!

Creating Decomposition Tree in Qlik Sense

June 27th, 2023 by Alejandro Wassermann

Created Decomposition Tree in Qlik SenseHey Qlikkies, are you itching to explore your data ad-hoc across multiple dimensions and conduct root cause analysis like a boss? Look no further than the Decomposition Tree visualization! I first stumbled upon this gem in Power BI, but guess what? Now you can harness its power within the realms of the Qlik Analytics Platform. In this tutorial, I’ll demonstrate how you can easily create amazing decomposition trees for your BI dashboards and apps in Qlik Sense.

A decomposition tree is a type of chart that uses a tree-like structure to represent how a whole metric or outcome can be broken down into its constituent parts or factors. It provides a hierarchical view of the relationships between different dimensions or variables and their contributions to the overall metric. By visually displaying the decomposition of a measure, such as sales or revenue, into various components, such as product categories, regions, or time periods, the decomposition tree helps identify the key drivers and understand the underlying factors influencing the metric. And I’ll use the tech layoffs data to show you how this can look and work in reality.

Let’s dive in and unleash the decomposition tree power in Qlik Sense!
