Stefan Walther , the author behind qlikblog.at, has switched his blog to english. That’s great news for all of us non-german speakers!

Stefan just published a very interesting article and a nice tool he created to ease the pain around nested if-statements in QlikView.

Well done Stefan, and thanks for switching ot english!!

QlikView Myths – “QlikView requires no consulting”

by The Spark on December 18, 2009

In case you missed it QlikViewGuru has started a nice series of posts about some QlikView Myths (I wonder how many he has in the pipe :-) .

The first post was dedicated to the myth of  “QlikView can’t handle large data sets” while the second one is dedicated to “QlikView requires no consulting”.

I particularly like this second post as it is really spot on. I have an identical experience and I fully agree with QlikViewGure analysis.

So, a very geeky +1 from QlikSparks!

November 2, 2009

There’s a nice post from Shawn Helwig of  WIPFLi about the new Microsoft BI 2010 and how it compares to Qlikview.
I think it’s a nice read as it shows the perspective of somebody who’s in business with both Microsoft and QlikView.
I don’t want to spoil you the read so just see for yourself.

QV man is looking for name

November 2, 2009

I am not a gadget person and I particularly hate marketing gadgets. You know, the kind of stuff that everybody throws in the bin after you went to a conference/fair and you are given bags full of useless stuff. So you can imagine my reaction the first time I saw this.
I thought:”WTF is this? Somebody [...]

Export Layout Feature
The other day I was ” busy” playing around with the new “Export Layout” feature of QlikView 9.
