QlikView Excel Connector Beta Update

Tuesday, 30 March 2010 15:15 by qlikster
UPDATE: Please note that the QlikView Excel Connector (the product referred to in this post) has now been replaced by www.QVExcel.com.

More information can be found in this post.

I have published a small update to the QlikView Excel connector - namely fixing the 'Available Fields' drop down in Excel 2007 (this should have already been working in earlier versions of Excel but as most users now seem to be in this version it seemed worth patching).

At present the drop down is a simple read only list, but it's useful if you are using the 'qve' function which is also part of the connector and allows you to evaluate any QlikView expression in an Excel cell.

For example in the following screen shot you can see the formula:

=qve("count(Title)")

has been entered in cell D3.

Which updates when selections are made.

This latest beta (version 0.4.5) of the QlikView Excel Connector can be downloaded here. Don't forget to read the other notes on this page regarding documentation and getting a licence file.

Call for Beta Testers for new QlikView Add-On

Wednesday, 17 March 2010 10:00 by qlikster

As alluded to in an earlier post or two, we have been working on another new QlikView related product idea recently and I am pleased to be able to finally reveal some more information.

The product supports any developers out there who have a qool idea for a QlikView application they would like to be able to protect and license for more controlled distribution/usage or sale, perhaps directly to end users or through an online marketplace such as www.QVApps.com.

We are offering a beta preview release to QlikView developers who fit this description with the aim of getting some more focused testing and feedback. I think the product is actually in a better-than-beta state already but we would like to know what real end users think, in particular of the features and usability, so we that can resolve any major issues ahead of a public release.

If you are a QlikView developer interested in testing such a product please let me know and we will contact you with some more details.

UPDATE (30/3/10) - I have now closed the preview release program - Thanks to all of those who signed up and provided testing and feedback!
