In today’s post, I am going to take a closer look at the skills and qualities of the A-Team, and will explain how they can be translated to the role of a QlikView Consultant. (Or, alternatively, how these roles can be used to staff the perfect QlikView Competency Center.)...

| 2012/07/24 Visual FX in QlikView
Curious to see if I could create an animated chart that, while maybe not informative, at least looks pretty, I decided to create a chart based on Lissajous curves. You can see the result, which uses a standard scatter plot, in the video below.

| 2012/05/18 Any colour, as long as it’s green
Today I read the blog post “Green Is The Colour” by Henric Cronström on QlikTech’s Business Discovery Blog. In this post, Henric points to the fact that, while green may be QlikView’s signature colour, it is the unassociated, gray values that are a crucial part of the discovery process. While I completely agree with Henric that the colour coding is integral to the QlikView experience, his post did leave me wondering. Does it always have to be green?...

| 2012/03/27 QlikView 11 SR1 withdrawn
I usually advise my clients not to upgrade to a new major QlikView version until the SR1 release is available. You can imagine that I was quite excited when QlikView 11 SR1 was released little over a week ago, finally could my existing QlikView customers use the cool new features of QlikView 11! Notes! Session collaboration! Document extensions!...

JS files need to be in the site root. I'm not completely sure why this is, but unfortunately that's how it is. I think image files can be accessed in subfolders (I've never tried CSS), but yeah JS files have to be in the root.

To shed light on this topic we turned to Christian Chabot, CEO of Tableau, a company that has been in business of Agile BI since it was founded in 2003. We asked Chabot how he would define an Agile BI Maturity Model that reflects how people actually adopt and begin to reap value from Agile BI....

| 2011/10/20 Product Comparison - Omniscope, Tableau & QlikView
Many people have asked us to provide a comparison of the three interactive visualisation tools we use - Omniscope, QlikView and Tableau; this is best served through discussion with you so that we can understand your specific needs, but the table below provides a very high-level comparison. Please bear in mind that in order to make a comparison we have had to simplify the specific capabilities of each tool; each approaches the data visualisation problem from a different angle, so each vendor could argue that our simplistic answers are unfair....

| 2011/10/16 Business Intelligence Adventures: What a big "If" you have
Have you ever been asked to automate a manual process? If you have then you have probably been ambushed like Little Red Riding Hood. Things start off normally enough Grandma is wearing her nightcap and her glasses or the process you are automating has rules and lists but everything is pretty normal just like Grandma. Then you notice that Grandma has very big eyes, and very big ears and a monster flow chart that defines all the exceptions to the lists and rules......

| 2011/06/10 Not all QlikView variables are created equal
Starting an expression with or without an equals sign may almost seem like an arbitrary decision. Most developers quickly figure out that this is not true for text objects. However, there is another, less obvious area where the use of the equals sign can greatly impact how (and more importantly, when) your expression is calculated....

| 2011/04/13 Best Practices for QlikView iPad User Interface Design
The user interface for touch screen mobile devices such as iPad is different from the UI for laptop or desktop computers in two primary ways: screen real estate and user interaction mechanism (touch screen vs. keyboard and mouse). QlikView developers should take these important differences into account when designing QlikView applications. Timed with the release of our newest QlikView on Mobile functionality in QlikView 10 service release (SR) 1, we thought we’d share with you a few best practices for designing QlikView apps that users will access via iPads. These practices come to you courtesy of Shima Nakazawa, QlikTech’s Director of Demos and Best Practices....

| 2011/03/16 Excel and VBA: the poor man’s QlikView

| 2011/02/24 Think About Design When Thinking of BI
For some time now, academics and business leaders have celebrated design thinking as the panacea for failing corporations and the secret of savvy managers. On January 5, 2009, a group of leaders from the professional organizations of design who call themselves “The American Design Communities” presented a document to the U.S. Congress called Redesigning America’s Future: 10 design policy proposals for the United States of America’s economic competitiveness & democratic governance. This is the first document of its kind in two decades. Indeed, design is gaining importance in every area. This discussion with Elif Tutuk, a leading industry technologist, will shed light on how design thinking could be applied to Business Intelligence....

The information that is held in Qlikview in table format will then be plotted onto a map....

QsGen promises, amongst other things: * Visually design complex scripts to load your data * No more need of scripting skills * 500% faster design Interested to see if I really would not need any scripting skills to build fantastic “marble tracks” of data I decided to download the trial version and test it with QlikView 10 SR1....

| 2011/01/24 Automatically create linktable & remove synthetic keys
This script automatically creates a linktable and removes synthetic keys from "any" combination of tables with common field names. Perfect in situations where you have several transaction tables (Invoices, Orders, Budget etc...), with several common field names. Simply copy - paste this script to your applications to solve these situations. The script will identify all common fields and build a data model based on a linktable automatically. Use carefully, and don't trust that it is working 100% until you have verified your data....

| 2011/01/18 Getting started with QlikView
Lately I have been getting a lot of inquiries by people asking me how to get started with the Personal Edition of QlikView. It seems to be a very popular new year’s resolution this year, and one that is definitely a lot easier to keep than losing weight, getting fit or quitting smoking (hang in there everyone!). Rather than answering everyone individually, I am trying to take a more efficient approach by writing this post in which I lay out what I believe is a good path to get started with QlikView, without having to immediately draw your wallet to buy training....

| 2010/11/22 Prebuilt QlikView Script for Mozilla’s Open Data Visualization Contest
A few days ago I became aware of the Mozilla Open Data Visualization Contest that is being organized by Mozilla Labs and the Mozilla Metrics Team. The goal of this contest is to creatively visualize answers to the question “How do people use Firefox?”. For example by creating visualizations that investigate interesting usage patterns, reveal interesting user behavior, or explore browser performance. I figured this would be a nice challenge, so I decided to download the data and load it into QlikView. Since I am always curious to see what other people can do with QlikView (it can be very educational) I have shared my load script and data cloud here, so that other developers interested in joining the competition can get a running start....

| 2010/10/30 Qlik Here for My View of QlikView 10
All in all, QlikView 10 offers some incremental improvements in important areas such as ease of use and performance. The new version is available immediately so you can download and try it yourself and get access to documentation and videos of demos and how to use it. In the future, it would be nice if you didn’t even need to download it – maybe the next version we can simply run in the cloud. Now QlikView has to continue its growth, expand its presence in the lines of business and use its new release as an opportunity to grow its market share....
