Statistics Box - AJAX/Webview

Statistics boxes can show most types of statistical entities such as sum, average, minimum etc. of the possible values of a field. The calculations are made dynamically, i.e. the display changes instantaneously as selections are made in sheet objects.

Statistics Box: Object Menu

The object menu can be opened as a context menu by right-clicking on a sheet object, or by clicking the Menu icon in the object caption (if shown).

The commands in the menu may vary depending on whether WebView is used from inside QlikView or opening the document in a web browser. The menu contains the following commands:
