QlikView Access Point allows users to interact with apps in their browser. But what if those users are not on your domain or only require static data? How can we get information to them in a way that is robust and cost effective? […]
You might think that there is not much to say about buttons in QlikView. If so you are probably not thinking much beyond a shiny lozenge of a thing that invites you to Clear Current Selections. I’m here to convince you otherwise. […]
QlikView is, of course, my software of choice. However, I would not want to be going on client site to do a job without some other tools in my kit bag. Read on to find out the QlikView development tools I use. Which of these do you use? What other tools should I consider? […]

In previous articles I have mentioned how critical it is to ensure your loads from QVD are optimised, but have not gone into the detail of how to do this. This post rectifies that. Here I explain what an optimised load is, why you should use them and how to perform them. […]
Analysis in QlikView is lightening quick, millions of rows can be aggregated and manipulated with very little latency. Getting those millions of records off a server elsewhere on your network – now that can be a different matter. This is where a robust QVD strategy and QlikView Incremental Loads become crucial. […]
