Thanks for any advice.

Why do you want an alternative - QVSource is very good abd written by people who relly understand QlikView?

Hi Gerardo,

Google Analytics has an api to extract data. You can use this API, but you will need to understand it. As you know all api's are complex and need time to learn, so probably you will spend more money writing code for the API than using qvsource, but if you want to use the api I've an small example I can share with you.

// Google Analytic settings

SET gUserName='xxxx@xxx.com';

SET gPassword='xxxx';

SET gProfileId='xxxxxxx';

// dates

SET gDateStart='2010-01-01';

SET gDateEnd='2011-02-04';

// Mesures and Dimensions

// More Info in: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataReferenceDimensionsMetrics.html

SET gDimensions='ga:date,ga:country,ga:city,ga:browser,ga:latitude,ga:longitude,ga:networkDomain';

SET gMetrics='ga:visits,ga:pageviews,ga:newVisits,ga:timeOnPage,ga:timeOnSite,ga:searchVisits';

// Get data from GAnalytics and save it in a csv file

EXECUTE java -jar GoogleAnalyticsClient.jar -u $(gUserName) -p $(gPassword) -f $(gProfileId) -d $(gDimensions) -m $(gMetrics) -s $(gDateStart) -e $(gDateEnd) --max-results=5000 -o visits.csv;

Know you have to load the csv file.

This example is made with an old version of the Google API but still works.

Ferran.
