Decomposition Tree

Overview

The Decomposition Tree extension for Qlik Sense brings advanced drill-down and root cause analysis capabilities directly into your dashboards. It enables users to break down a selected measure by multiple dimensions in any order, dynamically exploring how each factor contributes to the overall result. This extension transforms static analysis into an interactive, data-driven discovery process.

Key Features

• Dynamic Drill-Down – Expand and collapse nodes interactively to explore data across any combination of dimensions.

• AI Splits – Automatically identify and suggest the most impactful dimension contributing to a measure’s change or variance.

• Alternative Measures – Switch between multiple measures directly within the chart to view different metrics without reconfiguring the visualization.

• Flexible Dimension Ordering – Drill down in any order — users decide the exploration path in real time.

• Custom Coloring – Define bar colors by measure, expression, or manually, distinguishing positive and negative values clearly.

• Connectors and Hierarchy Lines – Visually link relationships between nodes with configurable connector colors and styles.

• Adaptive Bar Scaling – Scale values per level, per tree, or globally for meaningful comparison across nodes.

• Interactive Navigation – Use breadcrumbs and dropdowns for smooth traversal and context awareness.

• Seamless Qlik Integration – Fully compatible with Qlik’s associative engine, responding instantly to data selections and filters.

Use Cases

• Root Cause Analysis – Identify the key drivers influencing KPIs such as revenue, margin, or customer churn.

• Performance Monitoring – Analyze how different factors — like region, product, or time period — contribute to target deviations.

• Sales and Marketing Insights – Understand the breakdown of sales performance across campaigns, territories, and customer groups.

• Operational Analytics – Discover process inefficiencies and improvement opportunities by decomposing operational metrics.

• Financial Analysis – Drill into revenue, cost, and profit drivers to see what most impacts financial outcomes.
