Analyzing daily KPIs often comes with a challenge: tables become overwhelming, traditional charts consume valuable dashboard space, and identifying long-term trends can be difficult.
The Data+ Heat Map Calendar for Qlik solves this by displaying every day of the year in a compact, color-coded calendar. It allows users to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies instantly—without scrolling through countless charts or rows of data.
Turn Daily Data into Actionable Insights
The Heat Map Calendar assigns a color to each day based on any Qlik measure. Whether you're analyzing revenue, sales, profit, production output, or any other KPI, the visualization provides an immediate overview of performance throughout the year.
Instead of interpreting large datasets, users can quickly spot where something stands out.
