Comparative analysis with alternate states
In addition to time-based comparisons, there are other scenarios in which the
comparison of two different sets of data can help enhance the analytical capabilities
of a QlikView document. In this section, we will present a feature available in
QlikView since version 11 which makes it easy to create highly dynamic comparative
scenarios that enables business discovery in an entirely new way.
