1. Objective –\u00a0<\/span>Histogram in Qlik Sense<\/span><\/h2>\n

Today, we will see Qlik sense Histogram Visualization tutorial. Moreover, we will discuss the property panel of Histogram in Qlik Sense. Also, we will see when histogram must be used in Qlik Sense and learn how to create it using data loaded in our apps.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let’s start Qlik Sense Histogram tutorial.<\/p>\n

2. Qlik Sense Histogram<\/h2>\n

A histogram also known as frequency plot distributes the dimension points over a certain range of intervals and displays the frequency of each bin or bar in the distribution. This gives a continuous range of values placed at equidistant intervals. Each equidistant interval is known as a bin corresponding to which frequency is shown for the data values of the dimension used. On the y-axis, the frequency is shown. To make a histogram, only one numeric dimension is required. Using a histogram, you can analyze in what range of intervals or bins most data is concentrated or in which bins it is minimal. This proves to be very useful when you want to analyze the performance of an entity or behavior of data over time as it shows the frequency of data on a distributed interval patch.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can easily create a histogram in Qlik Sense. The next section discusses how to create a Qlik Sense Histogram.<\/span><\/p>\n

One evident advantage of a histogram in Qlik Sense is that it helps in analyzing large sets of data as it presents an overview by displaying the distribution and frequency patterns of the entire data. However, this also leads to a major disadvantage of using the histogram, which is that it does not provide a detailed account or visual of the data but gives a summary of data using only one dimension. For instance, if you have a histogram made for product quantities in sales and you also want to know which item corresponds to that quantity, the histogram is unable to serve that purpose. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. How to Create Qlik Sense Histogram?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before we start with learning how to create a histogram let us first consider a situation, based on which we will create the histogram. Suppose we have data of sales of a store. We want to create the histogram so that we can see the pattern or distribution of sales quantity (number of units sold).<\/span><\/p>\n
