Sheet and Objects in QlikView

Every QlikView document is made of at least one worksheet called Main. We can add more sheets, which are like many pages of the same QlikView document. Sheets help us display multiple data formats like – multiple charts or multiple tables. Each sheet can contain various sheet objects. In addition, sheets can be rearranged using Promote Sheet/Demote Sheet option and can be removed from the QlikView document using Remove Sheet option.

Creating Sheet Objects

Sheet Objects are the QlikView data elements that are embedded in the sheet. They display the data that is loaded into the QlikView’s memory. Each sheet object is tied to a data source and one or more of its columns. Sheet Objects are created from the layout menu as shown below.

Using Sheet Objects

Sheet Objects display the data from a data source and all the objects in a sheet are associated with each other. Let’s create a List Box and a Multi Box and see this association on action.
