Qlik Team and Community,

over the past 6 months, I’ve noticed significantly more visible innovation and improvements in areas like data integration, governance, automation, and platform capabilities which is great and clearly strategic.

However, when it comes to visualization features and frontend capabilities, the pace of innovation seems noticeably slower.

As someone working daily with Qlik on premise for analytics and dashboard development, I’m curious:

Is visualization currently less of a strategic focus?

Are there major improvements planned but not yet visible?

Is the assumption that the visualization layer is already “mature enough”?

From a practitioner perspective, there is still strong demand for flexiblity in the visual components and improved customization possibilities without the use of extensions.

Qlik has always been strong in associative analytics and engine capabilities.

But in competitive scenarios, visualization flexibility is a important factor too.

I’d really appreciate some transparency on the roadmap or strategic direction regarding visualization. 

Because when looking at Qlik Ideation, there are many visualization-related ideas that have been in “Collecting Feedback” status for months, some with 100+ upvotes Like “Combo Chart with one more dimension”. A frequently requested enhancement, yet I could not find it reflected on the roadmap.

Looking forward to hearing thoughts from both the community and the Qlik product team.

QLIK Gold Client is unable to close file in directory where it is tied to in SAP S4Hana tcode ZGold.Import Control

To resolve this issue, I went to tcode FILE

/HTG/CG  > Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical File

I changed the file path to new a location and saved.

Then I changed it back to the original location and the import control now worked.

This has happened a couple of times now - has anyone seen this before/know what the cause might be?

Hi,

Kindly suggest on below how to handle this scenario.

I have a comparison table chart which show selected year vs selected year-1 data.

Dim - Country
Measure 1- ROUND(Sum({<reporting_year={"$(=max(reporting_year))"}>} premium_without_commission),1/100)
Measure 2- ROUND(Sum({<reporting_year={"$(=max(reporting_year)-1)"}>} premium_without_commission),1/100)

Now 3 new fields are added startdate, end date, renewdate

When a user selects Reporting Year = 2026 and Start Date = Jan 2026, Feb 2026, end date= Nov 2026, Dec 2026 in the filters, they expect to see the premium for start date= Jan 2026, Feb 2026 and end date= Nov 2026, Dec 2026 in measure1 and in measure2 premium for start date= Jan 2025, Feb 2025 and end date= Nov 2025, Dec 2025

If nothing is select in any of startdate, end date, renewdate fields just show the premium for selected year in measure 1 and selected year -1 in measure2

What is the basic access of the user to perform qlik app unbuild -appid? Based on our testing, the user needs access on the hub in  our case for all the apps. For security reason, we do not want granting one user access to all dashboards on the hub. Is there a way to perform the unbuild function without granting the user access on hub?

I have a Qlik Sense table where the dimension is limited using:

Dimension → Limitation → Show first N rows

The table correctly displays only those N rows.

However, the Totals row still calculates using all rows, not just the limited/displayed rows.

My requirement is:

• Show only first N rows in the table

• Totals row should reflect only those same N rows

• Total mode must remain = Auto because the measure contains complex calculations

Example:

If I limit the dimension to Top 3 rows, the table shows:

A, B, C

But the Totals row still calculates using all rows (A+B+C+D+E) instead of A+B+C.

Is there a way to make Auto totals respect the dimension limitation, or is this expected Qlik behavior?

I would like to avoid switching Total mode to Sum, since the measure relies on Auto total logic.

Hi, 

We're using a high availability setup with two TAC-instances and 2 jobservers.

When stopping a TAC (for maintenance etc) we experience that the monitoring of some jobs is problematic. Th tac's seems to "lose track" of some jobs showing them as running for a very long time and some may show as "unexpected error". The jobs themselves seem to run ok, it's the tracking that is lacking.

Ideally we would want to seamlessly be able to shut one tac down for maintenance and let the other manage the jobs. Does anyone know of a safe/recommended way to do this?

Thx

Hi,

Our user wants to be able to see on the legends of a Bar Chart, the Sales Value and the % of participation on the Total Sales of that value. Something like this: 

Sales: $2,5 M, 22,5%

Is it possible on Qlik Sense? If so, How?

Thanks a lot.

René.
