How to Create an Excel-Style Spreadsheet in Qlik Sense

Your Qlik apps keep getting smarter.
But users still ask for Excel.
What if that spreadsheet work stayed in Qlik?

Dashboards can look great, insights flow in real time, reports run on autopilot.
Then someone needs spreadsheet flexibility, and Excel is back to:

  • Run a quick what-if
  • Add a formula or tweak a value
  • Format it the way they want

So the loop begins 🔁

  • Export data
  • Edit in a file
  • Share copies
  • Bring results back into the app

That is how version sprawl and context switching creep into an otherwise clean analytics flow.

🎯 That is why we built an Excel-style spreadsheet experience for Qlik Sense.

Spreadsheet work can now happen right inside your Qlik app:
 Excel-like grid with cell editing
 Formulas & functions
 Rich formatting & keyboard shortcuts
 Multi-sheet workbooks
 Sparklines & full charts

And more familiar spreadsheet essentials, connected to live Qlik data.

New on our blog: a step-by-step tutorial (with video 🎥) showing how to create an Excel-style spreadsheet in Qlik Sense with our Spreadsheets extension. Check it out.
