63.4 Colormix Wizard
With the Colormix Wizard, opened from the File menu in the Edit Expression dialog, it is possible to
create a colormix expression, i.e. an expression that calculates a dynamic color from a given measure.
It could e.g. be a calculated index with a value around 100 displayed in a pivot table. The higher index, the
better. If a specific dimension value had an index that vastly exceeded 100, one would probably want to
mark this pivot table line green, whereas red probably would be the appropriate color if the index value was
much lower than 100. And one would want the color change to be gradual with yellow denoting 100. In
other words – you want a dynamic color.
Such a gradual color calculation can be done with the Colormix functions in QlikView, but it can be cumbersome
to create the appropriate expression inside the Colormix function. Here, the Colormix wizard can
help.
First, it is important to clarify that the color functions, hence also the Colormix Wizard, are only relevant to
use in place where QlikView expects a color function, i.e. not in the chart expression itself, but rather in the
Background Color expression or in the Text Color expression.
When you open the Colormix Wizard from the File menu in the Edit Expression dialog, you will first see
a page describing what is needed to create a dynamic color. If you want to skip the start page when you use
the wizard in the future, mark the Don’t show this page again check box.
