In our last Qlik Sense Tutorial, we discussed Exponential and Logarithmetic Functions<\/a><\/strong>. Today, we will see Qlik Sense in Line Chart. Moreover, we will learn the basics of a line chart, when to use a line chart. Also, we will discuss the pros and cons of the Line Chart in Qlik Sense. Along with this, we will see how to create a Qlik Sense Line Chart. At last, we will discuss the properties panel and mini chart in Qlik Sense<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Line Chart in Qlik Sense<\/span><\/h2>\n

We use a line chart to show trends revealed by data represented graphically using lines. We can form the line by connecting all the data points linearly which shows the trends over time. By this, you can see the surges and dips in data values over a certain time period analyzing the performances, profits, and loss etc. In the line chart made in Qlik Sense, you will need a dimension and a measure. The dimension is always on the x-axis and measures on the y-axis. Your data records must have at least two data values for a line chart to be made. There can be gaps in the continuity of time periods like months, fiscal years, quarters etc. Like you might miss the data value for a month or a year which creates a gap in the line of the line chart. In Qlik Sense you can choose ways to display such gaps in the evenly spread data records like you can show them as actual gaps in the line, as connectors or as zeros.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Pros and Cons of Qlik Sense Line Chart<\/span><\/h2>\n

The one evident advantage of a line chart is that it is very easy to understand and make. However, some of the disadvantages include not being able to use too many lines as it makes the line chart and the information on it cluttered and hard to understand. There are certain ways to handle large amounts of data as only a line showing up to 1000 data values can be made. In such situations, data points are shown in data sets which are referred to as limited data sets having only a part of the entire data. <\/span><\/p>\n
