How can I make a dashboard in QlikView, showing variances for some results?
The final screen should:
Show the results.
Show up-or-down arrow for every result.
I'm pretty sure it is possible, as Google image search (for a keyword 'qlikview') shows such dashboard (I highlighted those arrows with a black rectangle):
To get those arrows you need to create an expression that tells you if the variance is positive or negative.
if(column(1)-column(2)>0,'Positive',
if(column(1)-column(2)<0,'Negative',
'Same'))
Now all we need to do is change the words Positive etc. to arrows. This is done in the expression editor.
Then you can just select one of the built in arrows which will paste some odd looking text but all it's saying is that instead of the word 'Positive' use the picture that is at 'qmem:///buitin/arrow_n_g.png'.
Giving a result like this.

Within an Ace editor, it is easy to find the number of lines in the edited document with the following:
myEditor.session.getLength();
But languages like JSON or XML can be "folded." That is, children properties or elements can be collapsed so only one single line is displayed for the parent.
Is there a way to get the number of lines actually displayed? Something like the following:
myEditor.session.getVisibleLength();
Note: the ultimate goal is to have an editor that adapts its height on the page to the content it displays (if lines are collapsed, then it should shrink, and if collapsed lines are expanded again, it should increase its height.)
UPDATE: After a user's response, I use the following. This is not the answer to the specific question I asked above, but rather the perfect answer to what I was trying to achieve overall:
const myEditor = ace.edit(elem, {minLines: 5, maxLines: 50});
To automatically change the height of the editor use maxLines option, but don't set it to a very large value as performance depends on the number of displayed lines.
When using Teams, I want to add emojis by using colons, ex. typing ":smile..."
However, Teams is too quick to add a smiley, thinking that ":s" what I want (which is not), i.e. I end up with not being able to get/use the emoji I want... See picture (I don't want the smiley which appear in the red square)
enter image description here
Use parenthesis instead of colon e.g.
(nod)
(smile)
It seems not possible to view the exact margin between font-elements in XD (dev-view). Below you'll find a screenshot of a situation where we need to measure the exact distance between two Font-elements (XD developer-view).
It needs to bypass the line-height, but it doesn't. To be able to do this, we need the line-height to be zero. But when we edit the line-height in XD for a word or sentence on a single row, XD does not change that line-height.
Anybody encountered the same situation?
In this example the line-height is 32. We go to XD. Change it to zero, save it and SHARE FOR DEVELOPMENT. But the line-height remains 32. Also changing it to 1 instead of zero won't make any difference.
To fix this issue, you have to select the Text within Adobe XD. Right Click and select Path > Convert to Path. The margins around the Text will disappear and when in DEVELOPMENT view it becomes possible to see the right margin. A small problem remains. When you want to edit the text when it's a shape, you have to delete it and place a new text and turn it into a shape again. the text when converted to a shape
The default selector in Adobe XD will not give you the exact margin between two text. You have to convert the text layer into paths (Convert to Outlines) to get the exact margin.
But remember after converting text layer into path the text cannot be edited because now the letter are separate vector shapes.
To convert text layer into Path, select the layer and goto Object>Path>Click Convert to Path
You can use the Guides to drag one below your text and another one on top of the second text, and then you can see the distance between the 2 guides.
Check this youtube video for a quick tutorial on it. This is going to be a manual action. I don't think there's a key to press to check the distance automatically.
Im not sure how to express it so I posted a picture in link below.
It should look like this
Just enter the text on 3 lines like so:
MORE
AT
THE HALL
Then adjust the point sizes, leading, kearning, etc. to create the aesthetic you want.
In this case line 1 and 3 could have full justification.
You can use scaling of the text(as shown in the character panel in attached snapshot) because changing font size also moves the baseline and causes the text to shift downward.
These attributes are also exposed via scripting.
Before you throw me out into the cold with your bold assertions that this is not programming related, please hear me out.
I'm looking for a visual metaphor (Icon) to suggest the idea of inversion of a filter. So if a user has a filter which reduces a list of 10 items to 4, I want a button that will allow the user to invert the filter to display only the other 6.
Another wrinkle is that the UI will also have a button for removing the filter nearby.
While this certainly isn't a nuts-and-bolts programming question, I think it's relevant to the process of software creation. As a developer it's relatively easy to construct the mechanisms to perform complex filters, but it's all for naught if normal users find the presentation confusing.
If an icon doesn't jump to mind for you, then there probably isn't one that will have obvious meaning to your users either. You're better off using a text label for this.
If it must be an icon, then it doesn't matter much what it is, since users won't be able to guess it any way, but at least try to make it visually distinct and memorable if not particularly intuitive. MS Access uses a funnel to represent "filtering." Maybe use an upside-down or white-on-black funnel for inversion? (An X'ed-out funnel means "don't filter").
Whatever. Like I said, it doesn't matter much.
Maybe it's not the most appropriate, but what about the logical inverter icon?
Maybe something like this: Invert Selection?
If you really need an image, I'd suggest looking at image editing programs like GIMP or Photoshop and seeing how their "invert selection" buttons look.
16x16 pixels is enough to draw two small list boxes with an arced arrow going from one to the other where the second has an inverted selection list of the first.

I think the 3 icons above could be used in one spot with each user click causing a rotation through the 3 of them. I think the above icon set offers the following benefits:
F - clearly communicates it is for a filter control.
Red and Green - clearly communicate ON and OFF action.
The line above F means inversion (I think - based on memories of boolean algebra at university - I could be wrong?)
The use of yellow while still maintaining the F, links the new action (filter inverted) to the previous filter actions let still communicates it is different to the filter simply being turned on or off.
On icon click rotation could be, (starting) Red - Green - Yellow - Red. This is a widely understood rotation pattern that the user would quickly pick-up. Therefore no need for additional filter on/off button.
Simpler solution - a user only needs to look at a single icon (even perhaps only with peripheral vision) to deduce the current state of the control.
