Back door access to your Qlikview report

So you're working on a Qlikview document and then the next day you can't open it
 
We've all been there, maybe you're playing around with the relationships in your data.  Saved your work and then you open it and the charts trying to generate crashes your pc.
Or maybe you’ve been working on a report all day, got your data right and take it home to make your charts and your laptop hasn’t picked up a license from the server before you left.

Here’s a couple of ways you can save your reports and a quick note on limiting other people’s access to your data.

Hello Qlikview!

Hello Qlikview!

I'm currently reading through this book, it's aimed as an introduction to Qlikview for complete novices and has got some nice examples so far.

I'll be posting a full review once I have finished it.

Sometimes it's so simple it's too obvious - drawing circles in Qlikview

#Note by an In statement I am referring to how to test one value against multiple values or a range of values


As searching for the word "in" in relation to Qlikvew is nigh on impossible here's a quick post explaining how to do it and how to use it for custom sort lists:

A Quick Post - Exporting Current Selections with your data

I just came across this article and will be looking into it more in the future, as I have been asked multiple times on export if we can include the current selections.


I have a macro work around but it's quite clunky, this looks much more elegant

Cooking with Qlikview Variables

So it's six days since my first post and here we are at 350 views!


I was originally planning to cover something more basic in this post but I had an idea earlier on this week that I thought would be a cool demo and after trying things out I think I have it.


This post is called "Cooking with Qlikview Variables", I will be using variables input on screen in order to generate data that is then used within the Qlikview document itself...

So my first post on the all new blog, I'm by no means a Qlikview expert but I have been using it for two years now and can find my way around.

What I'm hoping to do with this blog is compile a list of how to do everything in Qlikview, starting right at the beginning.

The qlikview training is great, however Qliktech seems very focussed on using files as a datasource.  I know the first question I asked after completing the tutorial was, how do I connect to a database?
