Saving csv file as qvd using Python

Iwin — Tue, 10 May 2022 11:48:44 GMT

Hi,

I have to save the cleaned csv file directly from python script to a qvd.

The csv file can be transformed from Qlik ,however user requires it from python itself

This is the code used to convert file to csv in python.

I want to store this final_dataframe file as qvd in python itself.

df_final.to_csv(r'D:\pythontoqlik\custom import files\final_dataframe.csv')

AFAIK it's not possible - only Qlik could store data as a qvd because it's a special file-format.

it is possible, to store data into QVD format using Python, you can utilize the PyQvd library. This library provides functionalities to interact with Qlik View Data (QVD) files.

Install using pip

pip install PyQvd

Storing Data to QVD

import pandas as pd from pyqvd import QvdTable # Create a sample Pandas DataFrame data = { 'Column1': [1, 2, 3], 'Column2': ['A', 'B', 'C'], 'Column3': [True, False, True] } df = pd.DataFrame(data) # Convert the Pandas DataFrame to a QvdTable object qvd_table = QvdTable.from_pandas(df) # Store the QvdTable object to a QVD file qvd_table.to_qvd('output.qvd') print("Data successfully stored to output.qvd")
