Making Awesome Qlik Sense Date Dropdowns

One of my favourite things in Qlik Sense is the new calendar function, however talking with other developers I've found that some people don't know about them yet.

How to write SQL stored procedures for Qlik

Recently I wanted to add one of my stored procedures for a different report into a dashboard to show the power of Sense (integrating pre system data with the new ERP system, Awesome!)

However, whatever I did, my stored procedure wouldn't run in Qlik Sense... so I did what I usually do in this situation and ran back to Qlikview to see if I could identify the problem and I couldn't! I should point out that this code was live and running fine in both SQL and crystal reports (a necessary evil for other projects!)

TL;DR version: the SP layout is at the end of the article!

Section access - part one (including inline wizard)

Quick Region Maps

So you need to map out your data but you either

If you have a postcode (or Zipcode) Don’t sweat, I have you covered with this Qlikview demo.  It’s ready to go in five minutes for UK readers and everyone else should be able to convert it in less than an hour.

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...
