QlikSense - Data Entry

Sun, 17 Jul 2016 08:58:34 GMT

Hi,

I would like to use QLikSense to modify data.

I realize a new Dashboard that analyze the Order information but my customer ask me if is possibile to enter the new value of order and show the changes.

I have one table that show the informations and for the key i would to show the old value and enter the new value.

Practically a what-if analysis....

There is an extension? How is it possibile?

Thanks.

Cristian,

I did not see an extension that allows you to modify multiple "cells" (rows or columns) at once.

But you can use a single value extensions (with assigned variable) that will allow you to change a single variable at a time...

There are few extensions to handle that on the Branch.

Hopefully it will work for you.

Regards,

Vlad

Thank you Vlad for the response.

I already saw this extension but whit these i can modify the value in the variable.

In my table i have many rows and if i want to modify two or plus record with differen value?

I saw the klik-ins extension but the demo don't work with qliksense.

Cristian,

I did not see such extension yet. Please note that Qlik was designed as a reporting tool, so they do not support data entry (much)....

You have two options, IMHO:

1. Build an extension per your specifications (or pay somebody to do that)

2. Use tools like MS Excel to modify your data

For #2: you need to export your data into CSV and load it into Excel. It's not very user-friendly (you can release your app in Mashup, embed Excel object into your Mashup and use it this way).

Not perfect solution, for sure, but it might work...

Regards,

Vlad

Hi there,

I hope you have found a solution to your request.

If not, then you should take a look at our native Qlik Sense write-back extension "Komment":

Komment

It only use native Qlik functionality and APIs and hence, it can be installed right away without the involvement of IT. All your comments are stored to QVDs so there is no need for external services or databases.

You can even start using it for €90 per month.

Happy commenting.

All the best

Hi,

when I did Qlik consulting I kept bumping in to the same problem, so I created Konstrukt to solve that. We're about to launch it with a freemium model, so just sign up here if you're curious for a free version to use. https://www.trykonstrukt.com/

In short, Konstrukt is a no-code cloud platform for all things data entry to complement Qlik (or any other data stack for that matter). So we've also used it for master data, approval flows, planning, simulation and complex calculation models, among other things. Check it out!
