but does QV provides the features as by BO?

Sp. variable creation and reusing it as a novice to QV I don't find so far.

one more thing is that you can use BO Universe in Qlikview.

Hi guys,

I think allways the best answer is: QlikView does not use any cubes!!!! You load all original tables and design all charts you ever want. With the feature Set analysis you get really all problems solved.

We have lots of customers they tell use, with Cognos they will not get solved all requests and change now to QlikView!

I work for 6 years with QlikView every day and until now I solved every customer requests, and really, they were often very difficult!

Yes! I HATE data cubes. I can't understand how that ever became a de facto standard for data reporting. I can't understand how people can ask of QlikView, "Does it support data cubes?" as if this were a desirable feature instead of a horrible, ugly solution that we should all be trying desparately to avoid.

Sorry, had to vent. They probably have their place. I've just never, ever seen that place. 🙂

Hi Everbody,

1> Qlikview Does have the capability to hold all the data in Memory(Primary).

So it is Other wise known as In Memory Analysis Tool.

2> It Has the concept called AQL. Which is Panted by Qliktech.That's differentiate Qlikview from Other Tools.

That is basing on the same name it can create associativity which is i think not supported by other tools.

3> It has also good satisfication rate with customer point of view.

4> It take less time to complete a project as it is not using OLAP Cubes which takes a lot time when built up from RAW.

5> It's market growth rate astonishingly increasing day by day. So it's a defiite emerging technology as compare to other tools.

Any other comments on this POST is highly appreciated.
