Sense Extension-One Dimension Navigation/animation Panel
This is a Qlik sense extension which enables navigation/autoplay along selected field-original or calculated.
The sole purpose of this extension is to simplify the process of selecting certain field in sequence.
When I do data expoloration, often I got annoyed by Qlik's selection mechanism. For example, to browse through monthly report for a year, I will have to create a month table and click every single column in sequence. I hate it especially when I click on the wrong column and it has interrupted my thinking uncountable times. Maybe there is clever walkaround on this issue but I couldnt find it online. So I build this extension to help myself, and people suffering in similar situation.
It is a simple extension. There are 4 buttons:
Clear- Clear all selection
Reset- Reset the index to the first element
Play- Start animation. Think about this as automated selection along our dimension, with fixed time interval. All the chart on the sheet will start transforming together.
Sort- Change which direction you go through the dimension
Prev 10- Move 10 elements back Prev - Move 1 element back Next- Move to next element Next- Move to 10 elements forward
Update: fix freezing issue Solve sorting issue, replace field manipulation with hypercube manipulation. UI change thanks to murraygm
