SaaS in 60 - Chart-level Scripting

This week we introduce a powerful new capability that allows you to provide and manipulate data directly within a chart object using script. Chart Level Scripting allows users to modify the data set behind a chart using a subset of the Qlik scripting language, using techniques such as variables and loops. Rows and columns can be added or modified that were not in the original data set enabling calculations that have previously not been possible in chart expressions or with variables. Simply enable the app for chart scripts, under measures add your script under the script section – and along with the appropriate dimensions– you will see your charts reflect the data provided by the script which also can be changed in real-time with the use of variables and expressions. Offering a new way to analyze your data such as simulations and goal seeking.
