Qlikview Your Business : An Expert Guide to Business Discovery with Qlikview and Qlik® Sense by Tammy Gibson download book MOBI, PDF, EPUB
9781118949559 English 1118949552 QlikView Your Business is written as a comprehensive resource that teaches best practices for using QlikView and Qlik Sense for effective analysis and visualization of data. It quickly covers the basics of using the tools, and then dives deep to provide expert advice on complex implementation techniques and solutions. The Qlik platform includes two main tools -- the flagship BI Development Tool QlikView and the recently introduced self-service data visualization tool Qlik Sense. The two tools are closely related to each other and share many common elements. Both tools are based on the same robust analytic back-end, yet they offer different solutions for different audiences at the front end. The core of the book focuses on the process of developing analytic applications using QlikView and Qlik Sense. This will be written in three major parts, covering three common business analysis scenarios: Sales Analysis; Profitability Analysis; and Inventory Analysis. The three parts describe scripting and visualization techniques of increasing complexity from simple to advanced. Within each Part, 5 chapters walk you through the main stages of developing an analytic solution in QlikView and in Qlik Sense: Understanding the business scenario and the common components of a solution Defining the data model required for the analytic solution Developing the Load Script used to build the data model Developing QlikView User Interface (UI), or Visualizations, used for the visual analysis Developing the same Visualizations in Qlik Sense After reading each Part and following the tutorial, you will have developed a complete analytic solution, implemented in QlikView or in Qlik Sense, or in both tools. Later chapters will expand on these skills, discussing development techniques at the "macro" level: Best practices for deploying QlikView in the enterprise Recommendations for organizing and managing QlikView implementation projects Basic recommendations for improving application performance A review of available tools and educational resources for QlikView data scientists The companion website will include the sample data sets, scripts, and visualizations that support all of the examples in the book., Step-by-step guide to using QlikView and Qlik Sense to unlock the meaning in your data"QlikView Your Business" shows you how to build dynamic, best-of-breed data visualizations using the QlikView toolset. This full-color, step-by-step guide walks you through the basics of using the tools, then dives deep to provide expert advice on complex implementation techniques and solutions. Coverage includes both QlikView and Qlik Sense, with a focus on the process of developing analytic applications, with scripting and visualization techniques for analyzing sales, profitability, and inventory. You will learn how to analyze your data, determine the appropriate solution, define the data model, and develop the load script and user interface for a complete analytic solution implemented in QlikView, Qlik Sense, or both. The companion website provides sample data sets, scripts, and visualizations that support chapter examples.Data visualization helps unlock the stories within the data, making it easier to see and make sense of complex data points. Many visualization tools are complex and require advanced training, but QlikView's toolset was specifically designed for speed and ease of use.
