Who This Book Is For

Mastering QlikView Data Visualization is intended for developers who want to go beyond their technical knowledge of QlikView and understand how to create analysis and data visualizations that solve real business needs. You should have a basic understanding of advanced QlikView functions such as set analysis and aggregate.

What You Will Learn

• Apply advanced QlikView techniques such as set analysis and nested aggregation to deliver common business requirements
• Understand real business requirements often asked for by the sales, finance, marketing, and human resources departments
• Discover when to apply more advanced data visualization such as parallel coordinates, cycle plots, and whale curves
• Go beyond native QlikView and include geographical analysis, reporting, and predictive analysis in your QlikView application
• Troubleshoot common mistakes we make when we create data visualization or perform analysis in QlikView
• Consolidate your analysis into a high-level dashboard that easily allows the user to drill down to the level of detail found in other applications
• Integrate and support Qlik Sense's self-service business intelligence and storytelling in your existing QlikView environment

In Detail

QlikView offers powerful analysis, effective dashboards, and insightful data visualization for every area in your company. This tool offers one person the singular experience to work with the whole Business Intelligence process starting from data extraction and ending with the most amazing analysis.

Just because you know how to swing a hammer doesn't mean you know how to build a house. Now that you've learned how to use QlikView, it's time to learn how to develop meaningful QlikView applications that deliver what your business users need.

As a QlikView master, you must easily understand both the technical and business requirements of a QlikView project. You must be able to write script to transform data and at the same time empathize with the business users' needs to deliver clear, effective analysis and data visualization.

This book will help you understand how to apply what you've learned previously about QlikView and apply it to real business requirements. You will first create a data laboratory, the foundation of all your future QlikView projects. You will then construct applications for business users in the sales, finance, marketing, operations, and human resources departments. You will explore how to create an insightful customer executive summary before salespeople go to their sales meeting and a corporate dashboard that allows executives to see all aspects of their business at a glance.

You will take the time to understand their requirements and the data they possess in order to deliver the most amazing analysis and data visualizations. The needs of your business user are your priority, and if you can't fulfill their needs using only QlikView, you will go beyond it and explore the functionality developed within Qlik's ecosystem of partners and developers.
