Qlik Sense Alternate States is a game-changing feature that lets users compare multiple datasets side-by-side. From analyzing sales across regions to exploring dynamic filtering options, Alternate States empower users with unparalleled flexibility in data visualization. Here are three compelling reasons to use Alternate States in your Qlik Sense applications.
1. Perform Seamless Comparative Analysis
Alternate States enable you to compare metrics, such as sales or performance data, across different regions, time periods, or categories. This side-by-side comparison helps identify trends, anomalies, and insights that drive better decision-making.
