Connecting to Qlikview data

kibanjain — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 21:26:37 GMT

Hi there,

Has anyone had experience connecting Qlikview data directly to PowerBI?

Currently have a report accessing multiple data.

30+ users are exporting their sales from Qlikview and are entering it to a import form on excel with macros. Would like to automate this process and connect directly to the data in Qlikview.

Is there a way to connect to Qlikview as there is no connector option under get data?

Thanks!!! If not, has anyone found a work around?

You could create an appropriate data-structure within the script and just storing it as csv-file within the target-folder(s). And then could PowerBI directly grab these data.

Beside this you may reverse your approach and enrich the data within QlikView so that users could do their analysis there.

I'm fairly certain you could use REST API to connect between the two products.

I am quite interested in making a REST API connection from Excel to Qlik Cloud. My use case is that end users have to input data and I want them to be able to use Excel for that. Refreshable Qlik Cloud data should be available for the end users to do calculations on in Excel. I tried setting up a REST API connection but I get stuck with the authentication (I think). Any experience?

Never mind my question about user input in Excel, I am switching to user input in Qlik Cloud.
