Loading Data from Online CSV Sources into Qlik

There are myriad different data sources out there, and it is possible to load any of them into Qlik. Some are easier than others, sure, but there is always a way. There are good articles and posts on some of the trickier sources, but today I want to show you how you can bring in CSV data from GitHub. This means you can pull up to date, crowdsourced and governed data directly into your applications, just by following these simple steps. […]

Reading RSS Feeds with Qlik REST Connector

Qlik Sense can consume data from just about any data source and present it visually. One rich source of data you may not have considered though is the RSS feed for a blog. This can, however, be loaded by Sense just like any other source. This blog post describes how and gives the code for reading from WordPress (and perhaps other) RSS feeds. […]

Instant Qlik Sense Application

Over the years I’ve gathered a number of bits of code that I have reused, across both QlikView and Sense.

Triggering events with Qlik, IFTTT and Webhooks

Something I often say is that a Qlik dashboard is only worthwhile if it causes someone to take an action. But what if that action could be taken automatically? IFTTT (If This Then That) is a platform that allows different services to talk to each other and trigger events. In this post I look at how a Qlik load script can start an action. Specifically, it defines how you can play We Are The Champions on the office stereo when a new customer is won. Obviously. […]
