How to Interact With Qlik Sense Visualizations?Â
Visualizations are a key part of a Qlik Sense application as they display data in different forms and representations. You get to interact with visualizations mainly when you are making selections in them. Following the associative model, relevant data values are linked to each other and upon making selections these values change the state of visualizations accordingly. To make selections in a Qlik Sense sheet, you can either use different selection methods to select values from the visualizations or use filter panes or searches.

ii. Viewing Data of Visualizations
In Qlik Sense, you get to create many types of visualizations like bar charts, histograms, combo charts, line charts, pie charts etc. There is an option with a selected few visualizations out of all of viewing its data in tabular form. If a selection is made in the visualization, the data table will contain only the selected values. This is done to be able to read and understand the data values being displayed in the respective visualization properly.
To switch a visualization to a table view, right-click on the respective visualization and select the View data option.
You will get all the field names and field values displayed in a simple tabular form.
Now, to go back to the visualization again, right-click on the table view and select View chart option.
This will return to the chart representation.

The visual exploration is like the properties menu for every visualization that is available for use. You can manage properties of charts in areas like data, data sorting, appearance, coloring by dimension or measure, show or hide legend, adjust the labels etc.
You can access the exploration menu for a particular visualization either from icon present on the visualization itself or in the Edit menu. Every visualization has properties in the visual exploration related to the purpose that visualization serves.
