I am currently at the Masters Summit for QlikView in San Francisco attending Bill Lay‘s session on QlikView data visualization. Besides hilarious delivery, Bill is showing some pretty cool visualization examples and tricks.
One thing Bill was showing are various ways you can add annotations to charts, putting them either on the axis or in the legend. One additional view that Bill and I discussed earlier is to put the annotations on the data point. Bill just asked me if there was a blog post about it. There wasn’t, but there is now. Not as polished as usual, but you’ll get the gist by looking at the QVW attached below.

And maybe a new video too! if you don’t mind that is?
Go for it.
Very nice and simple solution!
This can be solved also with a single expression :
DUAL(IF(LEN(Annotation) > 0, Annotation & CHR(10) & ‘|’, ‘ ‘), SUM(Sales))
Yes, that works as well. Dual() is great if you want to associate another text with your numbers.
Yes, Dual was my solution for tagging the lines instead of using a legend:

Hi Barry,
Thank you for this post.
Unfortunately i am a user of Qlik Sense and so i am not able to open your example file…
Have you got any idea of how to do it in Qlik Sense ?
Thank you by advance,
Gabriel.
