Bitmetric Friday Qlik Test Prep – Week 11 – Sum(TOTAL) – Solution

By Bitmetric Admin


Every Friday at Bitmetric we’re posting a new Qlik certification practice question to our LinkedIn company page. Last Friday we asked the following Qlik Data Architect certification practice question:

We’re a bit short-handed this week, so we’re keeping this week’s answer brief. The key to getting this question right is being aware of the TOTAL qualifier and the option to add one or more chart dimensions between angle brackets.

The correct answer is D: Sum(Sales) / Sum(TOTAL <Model> Sales)

By itself, the TOTAL qualifier will return the total Sales for the entire table. When you add chart dimensions between angle brackets, it will return the total Sales for that dimension. For example, Sum(TOTAL <Model> Sales) returns the total Sales for the dimension Model, ignoring Size.

That’s it, see you next Friday!

Want to participate?

We’re having lots of fun coming up with these questions here at Bitmetric. Perhaps some of you would like to join in the fun?

We’re always looking for new colleagues, but we understand that you might be looking for participation with a little less up-front commitment 😉

If you have suggestions for good questions, feel free to send them to us via WhatsApp or by getting in touch via [email protected].
