Load Data

[Anonymous]

Is there any way to Load Data from sheet rather going to Data Load Editor > Load Data?

Hi Vijay,

When you create or open a Qlik Sense app. you can physically drag an Excel sheet from Windows Explorer into the Qlik Sense app.  When you do this, you will get the message 'Drop the file to load data'

You will then be met with the select data screen to decide which data you want to pull into your app.

No I am using data connection from SQL DB. Report is working perfectly but when I want to do a refresh to see the new changes (changes in values) for today I have to open the data load editor the I have to click on Load Data. Is it possible to do this from the sheet itself?

Hi Vijay,

Now i understand!

If you want to automate the reload of data, this cannot be done in Qlik Sense Desktop.  You can only reload data manually in Qlik Sense Desktop.

You would need a licensed version of Qlik Sense to automate the reloading of data.  A licensed version of Qlik Sense, once installed on a server, gives you the ability to set up tasks that reload the data into your app on a regular and automated basis.

Hello Vijay - if you are using Qlik Sense Desktop or Qlik Sense Server - you can open the Data Load editor in a New window / tab - that way you can keep the sheet AND the Data Load Editor open at the same time. You can switch back and forth between the windows.

In the menu - click the little icon to the right* (*edit) to open it in a new window / tab:
