qLayoutExclude

Type: Object

customErrorMessage

Type: Object

Set to define custom error messages.

calcCondition

Type: String

Description: Deprecated. Use qCalcCondition.qMsg instead. Set to customize the calculation condition unfilled message.

search

Additional properties:

sorting

The settings for sorting the values of a dimension.

sorting properties
Name	Type	Description
auto	Boolean	Specifies if the search values of a dimension are auto sorted alphabetically or numerically in ascending order. Default: true
inherit	Boolean	Specifies if the sort settings are inherited from the dimension selected by the user.

sort

All dimension values are sorted by the numeric value of the first measure in a pivot table by setting the property qSortbyYValue in the definition of the hypercube. The sort order affects all dimensions and have precedence before any other sort order defined under the dimensions. It may result in different sort orders for the 2nd and higher dimensions in different branches, depending on their values.

Limitations

Only supported if subtotals are calculated.
Only supported if all dimensions are vertical (in the row section), and the array of measures is horizontal (all measures are in the column section).
Not supported for calculated dimensions.

components

Type: Array

Component settings. All theme component properties are unset (null) when creating a chart. The values for each attribute are fetched from the current theme. Setting any property here will override the theme used.

Additional properties:

key

Type: String

Determines which component the settings apply to.

Default: theme

content

Type: Object

Content font and interaction settings.

Example using qlik-visual

For more examples of how to create pivot tables on the fly, see Mashups: Creating pivot tables.

In this example we create a basic pivot table, containing two dimensions (Year and Quarter) and three measures. The measures have basic number formatting applied and a title is added to the pivot table.
