Sometimes you need to create test data to ensure that a Qlik function behaves the way you expect it should. Recently I had just that requirement to prove that the Correl function gave good results over semi-predictable data. This post shows how you can create data on the fly for these kind of purposes. […]
Something I see frequent questions about is how to Lease a Licence from QlikView Server to the Desktop. This is one of those things that once you know how to do it is second nature – but is in no way obvious if you don’t. Time therefore for another Back To Basics post. […]

This is the second part in our Back To Basics series of posts. This post looks at a simple way to keep track of how long a QlikView load takes and how much it is doing. […]
This is a new series of Back To Basics posts, where I am going to demonstrate some of the things that I will do on just about every QlikView project I work on. These posts are for new users and more experienced ones that want to pick up a new trick or two. […]
