Creating Bar Chart in QlikView

Introduction

QlikView bar chart is a diagram in which the numerical values of variables that we defined in a QlikView expression are represented by the height or length of lines. The bar chart also uses rectangles for displaying data. In a bar chart there is equal width. A bar chart shows data virtually.

In a previous article I described how to create a table box in a QlikView application. A table box is important for a chart because it shows all the data.
