Show MoreAt the beginning of 2026, the Qlik Reporting Service expanded its offering with support for Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint report capabilities. For the duration of the first half of the year, these report formats have been executing in an unmetered state.
As of August 1st, 2026, these report formats will be metered. Customers using Word and PowerPoint reports will notice an increase in the report execution metrics.
What does this mean for me?
If you are a customer making use of these report formats, you should review your consumption and ensure that your Qlik Reporting Service quota is adequate for your aggregate report consumption at this time.
How do I know how many Word and PowerPoint reports are being sent?
- Talk to your report developers, they would have a good understanding of which report task are in production and how many reports are being executed
- For an aggregate view across your tenant, use the Report Analyzer app as per Qlik Cloud Monitoring Apps Workflow Guide

Upcoming deprecation of Qlik Analytics charts in May 2027

Show MoreQlik constantly refines its Analytics, over time replacing old charts with new, modernized alternatives. These deprecations are announced well in advance and come with instructions on how to best replace these old charts, whether that is to use a new one, several new ones, or make use of new settings.
This blog post covers the deprecation of charts in May 2027 and offers you guidance on how to replace them.
What charts are being deprecated and when?
The following seven visualization bundle charts are up for deprecation in May 2027. Most have already been removed from the asset panel and are no longer a part of recent applications.
- The Bar and Area chart
- The old Bullet chart
- The old Heatmap chart
- The Button for navigation
- The Share button
- The Show/Hide container
- The old Tabbed container
- The Multi KPI
What do I use instead?
Since these are old charts, most are no longer in use. If you happen to still have a very old application and need to replace deprecated charts, see Visualization bundle > Deprecated charts for more information on what to use instead.
How do I find out if my apps are using the deprecated charts?
Qlik recommends reviewing your apps for old charts. Depending on your platform (Qlik Cloud or Client-managed), there are different methods you can deploy.
Qlik Cloud
Qlik Cloud administrators should use the Qlik Cloud Monitoring Apps to track the usage. The App Analyzer has a sheet dedicated to where deprecated charts are being used on a tenant in Qlik Cloud. The App Analyzer is based on usage events rather than scanning every app. Use the App Analyzer to find which apps and sheets have charts that need to be updated to newer and more modern alternatives. The easiest way to install and update the Qlik Cloud Monitoring Apps is to use the automation template. If you already have the App Analyzer, just remove the automation and install a new one to get the latest version of the App Analyzer.
Client-managed
For client-managed installations, use the Content Monitor app, included in every Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows installation beginning with the May 2026 release.
The Content Monitor has a sheet for tracking deprecated charts. At reload, the Content Monitor app scans every app in the installation to list all applications and sheets that are using charts that are being deprecated. It also lists the installed extensions and their deprecation status.
If you want to track usage in prior versions, download the Qlik Sense Content Monitor from the Qlik download page. It comes bundled with the required Object Scanner.

What 1,000 job postings reveal about the data analyst career in 2026
Every year, thousands of students ask the same question: is data analytics still a good career bet? The 2026 numbers say yes. In Data Analyst Job Outlook 2026, 365 Data Science analyzed over 1,000 real job postings to map what employers actually want from data analysts today.

Show MoreEvery year, thousands of students ask the same question: is data analytics still a good career bet? The 2026 numbers say yes. In Data Analyst Job Outlook 2026, 365 Data Science analyzed over 1,000 real job postings to map what employers actually want from data analysts today. The report adds a wider signal, citing a US Bureau of Labor Statistics projection of 23% job growth by 2032.
The research highlights four trends shaping the data analyst career in 2026:
- Specialists are winning. Nearly 70% of job postings focus on a core set of skills such as SQL, statistics, and visualization rather than long lists of requirements. The takeaway from the research: master the core analytics toolkit deeply before expanding into adjacent areas.
- Data visualization is the most in-demand skill. It appears in more postings than any other analysis skill, and dashboards remain the bridge between raw data and business decisions. Employers want analysts who can turn complex datasets into stories stakeholders understand.
- AI is transforming the role, not replacing it. Machine learning mentions in job postings doubled year over year, and the report cites that 70% of analysts say AI automation makes their work more effective. The analysts who thrive are the ones who understand how AI-driven insights are produced and how to question them.
- Communication is a technical skill now. Stakeholder communication appears in nearly 60% of postings, ahead of most hard skills. Analysis that no one understands is analysis that changes nothing.
Across all four, one theme repeats: the market rewards professionals who combine hands-on analytics skills with the ability to explain, question, and communicate data. That is data literacy, and it's exactly what the Qlik Academic Program helps universities build.
The program gives students free access to the full Qlik stack, from data integration and Qlik Cloud Analytics to Qlik Answers and agents, alongside courses, qualifications, and certifications. Students don't just read about visualization and AI-assisted analytics; they build dashboards, integrate real data, and learn how AI-driven decisions are made. Those are precisely the skills leading the 2026 hiring data.
Professors are supported too, with training and ready-to-use teaching resources that make it easier to bring analytics into the classroom, so curricula keep pace with a job market that is evolving faster than any syllabus revision cycle.
The report's conclusion is encouraging: the field isn't oversaturated for those with the right combination of skills. For students, the best time to start building that combination is before graduation, with real tools, real data, and credentials employers recognize.
By giving students, professors, and universities free access to analytics software, learning content, and certifications, the Qlik Academic Program helps learners graduate ready for a career field that the data shows is still growing.

Show MoreTo all Talend customers,
This is an advance notice that, to enhance both your security and experience, Java 21 will be required to launch Talend Studio starting with the 2026-06 release.
This change only concerns the Talend Studio desktop application. It has no impact on the Jobs and Services you build with it, which will continue being compliant with Java 17 runtime environments (and Java 8 for Big Data Jobs).
You have multiple options to make a smooth transition:
- The Talend Studio embedded upgrade mechanism (Feature Manager) will offer handling the JDK version upgrade
- Should you prefer, a new installer of Talend Studio 2026-06 with JDK 21 embedded will also be provided
- You will also be free to manually configure Talend Studio to start with JDK 21, provided you are on Talend Studio 2025-09 or higher
Additional details:
Along with this change, the June release will come with many additions from a Java version perspective:
- Talend Studio will allow building Jobs and Services for Java 21 runtimes, in addition to Java 17 runtimes. Java 17 will remain the default setup for runtimes for the time being
- Remote Engines, Cloud Engines, Dynamic Engines, Job Server, and Talend Runtime will support running Jobs and Services in Java 21, in addition to the Java versions they already support
- Talend Administration Center (TAC), Data Preparation (client-managed), Data Stewardship (client-managed), Talend SAP RFC Server, Talend Semantic Dictionary, and Talend Identity and Access Management will also support running with Java 21 in addition to Java 17

Following the inauguration, REVA signed up students from its departments including Computer Science Engineering, AIML, AIDS, CSSE, ISE, IOT and CSIT.
There was a good amount of coordination between all departments due to the establishment of the CoE which also ensured structured training for students. One of the key benefit of the CoE is to have a physical space for coordinated training of the Qlik Academic Program courses.
Students were able to complete the training and appear for the exams offered under the academic program portal in a time bound manner. Almost all students completed the Qlik Sense Business Analyst Qualification successfully and few of them also completed the Qlik Sense Data Architect Qualification and the Data Literacy Qualification. The total qualifications gained by students were more than 1000 which is a commendable achievement considering the limited time span.The number of students getting "Qlik ready" is a big plus for the Qlik ecosystem including its customers and partners and also students will get an edge in the job market where Analytics and AI skills are lacking.

Introducing Fast Mode: A New Gear for Qlik Answers
Qlik Answers was built to do real analytical work: investigate root causes, reason across dimensions and time, and explain not just what happened but why. That depth is what our customers value most, and it isn't going anywhere. But not every question needs an analyst. Sometimes you only need a number. What was the revenue last month? Top 10 products by margin? Open orders in EMEA right now? These are lookups, not investigations, and they deserve... Show MoreQlik Answers was built to do real analytical work: investigate root causes, reason across dimensions and time, and explain not just what happened but why. That depth is what our customers value most, and it isn't going anywhere.
But not every question needs an analyst. Sometimes you only need a number. What was the revenue last month? Top 10 products by margin? Open orders in EMEA right now? These are lookups, not investigations, and they deserve their own gear.
On the 7th of June 2026, Qlik added one: Fast Mode is now live in Qlik Answers, providing one assistant with the effort matched to the question. To read more about the release, see What's new in Qlik Cloud.
Fast Mode gives you near-instant answers to simple questions on your structured data, so quick checks feel as natural as glancing at a KPI. Thinking Mode remains your deep analyst for everything else, with all the reasoning power you rely on today.
Together, they work the way a great analyst does. Ask what sales were last month, and you get the number immediately. Ask why sales dropped in the North region, and the assistant rolls up its sleeves and does the work properly. Same assistant, same governed data, two gears.
Fast, and still your numbers
Plenty of AI tools can answer quickly. The question is whether you can trust what comes back.
Fast Mode is grounded in your app's governed semantics from the first query: master measures, master dimensions, your calendar logic, and your section access. When Fast Mode says "sales," it means sales exactly as your organization defines them, rather than AI math or a plausible-looking guess. You will get the same governed definitions your dashboards run on, at conversational speed.
And when a question deserves more than a fast answer, Fast Mode won't pretend otherwise. It tells you the question calls for deeper analysis and offers a one-click "Think harder" that hands the same question, full context intact, to Thinking Mode.
No need for rephrasing or starting over.
What each mode covers today
Fast Mode is currently available for structured data: questions answered from your apps, master measures, and master dimensions.
The rest of what makes Qlik Answers powerful stays with Thinking Mode. Questions over unstructured content like documents and knowledge bases, answers that blend structured and unstructured sources, and requests that trigger automations all need real reasoning, and Thinking Mode is built for exactly that.
That's a deliberate split: fast lookups where speed matters, full reasoning where the work demands it.
We know where the appetite goes from here, and we're watching how you use both modes closely. For now, if your question touches documents or kicks off an automation, Thinking Mode has you covered.
When to use which mode
A simple rule: if a colleague could answer from memory using your apps, use Fast Mode. If they'd need to open the app, read the documents, or take action, that's a job for Thinking Mode.
Fast Mode: "What was revenue last quarter?" "Top 5 regions by margin." "Open orders in EMEA right now?"
Thinking Mode: "Why did margin compress in Q2?" "What does our returns policy say, and how many orders does it affect?" "Flag these accounts and notify the owners."
Pick wrong? One click fixes it.
Try it today! Fast Mode is available now in Qlik Answers. Ask the question on your mind and see how fast a trusted answer can be. Then ask a hard one, hit "Think harder," and watch the assistant do what it does best.

Show MoreQlik Data Gateway - Direct Access version 1.6.x will be officially End of Life (EOL) on September 30, 2026.
Version 1.6 was initially released in December 2023 and reached End of Support on June 14, 2025. It is now confirmed for End of Life on September 30, 2026. Upgrade to a supported version as soon as possible.
How will this affect me?
Once version 1.6.x reaches End of Life, Direct Access Gateway instances still running 1.6.x after September 30 may lose connection to Qlik Cloud, disrupting data loads and any workloads that depend on it.
What should I do?
Upgrade to the latest available version of Qlik Data Gateway – Direct Access (currently 1.7.x, with 1.7.16 expected soon) before the End of Life date for 1.6.x. The new versions bring:
• A redesigned gateway configuration UI, making setup and troubleshooting easier
• Ongoing security fixes and cloud-side compatibility, which are not backported to older versions
• Ongoing performance and reliability improvementsFrom version 1.6.6 onward, .NET 8.x is required. This is installed automatically as part of the upgrade process, so no manual action is required.
The upgrade path from 1.6.x to the latest 1.7.x release has been tested and is expected to run smoothly. As always, please review the upgrade steps carefully and take a backup before upgrading.
How do I upgrade?
Upgrading Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access walks through the upgrade procedure and lists the significant changes introduced in each release.
Configuring and troubleshooting Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access covers configuration options introduced in later versions that may apply to your deployment. Most gateway settings can also be managed directly in the Qlik Cloud Administration activity center (from v1.7.2).
What else should I keep in mind?
We recommend always running the latest available version of the Direct Access Gateway. Cloud-side fixes are deployed on a near-weekly basis, and these most often do not apply to older gateway versions — so staying current is the best way to avoid running into avoidable issues.
Questions?
If you have questions or need assistance planning your upgrade, our forums are open to you, and Support is only a chat away.

In April 2026, SAP published a series of updates that will restrict your ability to extract certain SAP data using Qlik products. We are writing to explain what is changing, what it means for your Qlik integration, what you can do next, and how Qlik is responding.SAP Announcement
SAP has recently updated SAP Note 3255746 and its API Policy, which together prevent customers from using the ODP-RFC interface to perform bulk data extractions to non-SAP systems. Here is what you need to know.
Impacted Qlik Products:
The CDC connectivity via ODP will be at most risk by the implementation of the June 9th SAP security update, as it will be blocked. The main products affected are:
- Qlik Talend Cloud SAP ODP Connector
- Qlik Replicate SAP ODP Endpoint
Other impacted products that also offer ODP functionality are:
- Qlik Analytics (Qlik Sense / QlikView) SAP ODP Connector
- Talend Studio Component tSAPODPInput (see SAP ODP-RFC Changes: What Talend Studio Customers Need to Know)
- Talend Studio Component tSAPADSOInput using RFC-based access to Advanced DataStore Objects (ADSO), relying on the ODP API (see SAP ODP-RFC Changes: What Talend Studio Customers Need to Know)
The following Qlik Products do not use the ODP-RFC interface and therefore will not be impacted by the June SAP Security update:
- Qlik Gold Client
What's Changing and When:
- June 9, 2026: SAP released a security patch through SAP Note 3635619 blocking “unrestricted” calls from non-SAP applications, including affected Qlik connectors, that rely on the ODP-RFC interface. Depending on your SAP system’s component levels, your SAP System Administrator may apply the SAP Note independently or as part of an SAP Support Package (refer to SAP Note 3635619).
- Temporary revert option: According to SAP Note 3731818, there is an option to allow restricted ODP-RFC calls on systems with the security patch installed to proceed without interruption. Implementing SAP Note 3635619 will add an opt-out program which allows disables the ODP-RFC restrictions. SAP Note 3731818 also states that another SAP Note will be provided at the end of 2026 to permanently disable the opt-out program and reimplement the block on unrestricted ODP-RFC calls from non-SAP applications.
Recommended Next Steps
- Review the SAP Notes: Independently review SAP Note 3255746 (reclassification notice), SAP Note 3439624 (self-assessment tool), SAP Notes 3748819 and 3635619 (security patch for ODP-RFC), and SAP Note 3731818 (security patch opt-out program) via the SAP Support Portal at support.sap.com. Address your concerns and feedback through the appropriate SAP channels.
- Contract Review: Review your customer agreement and the API Policy, updated in April, 2026, to evaluate SAP’s ability to make unilateral changes to your data access rights, and to require additional purchases or charge egress fees.
- Audit your environment: SAP has released a self-assessment tool (SAP Note 3439624, available April 13, 2026) to help you identify all current ODP-RFC usage across your systems.
- The Qlik SAP ODP Connector will show as “unpermitted”, which means it will be blocked by the SAP June Security patch
- The Qlik SAP OData Connector will show as “permitted”, which implies it will continue to work with the SAP June Security
patch
- Evaluate Qlik’s Alternative SAP Connectors: Qlik supports several methods for SAP connectors, including OData and SAP Extractors. We continue to enhance our connectors and are looking to release a new SAP connector due later this year, which may prove a viable alternative.
- Work with Qlik: Reach out to your Qlik representative before implementing the SAP June Security patch, so we can partner with you on alternate Qlik solutions and ways to address these SAP restrictions. Together, we can evaluate your specific environment, understand your connectivity needs, and align on the best path forward before the December 2026 deadline.
Our Commitment
You should be in control of your business-critical data, wherever it creates value. Without interoperable architectures, SAP customers like you face higher costs, performance issues, and less freedom to choose, including loss of flexibility in implementing AI.
Qlik already supports alternatives to ODP and is actively developing additional migration paths and solutions to preserve your flexibility through this transition and beyond. We will continue to work on viable alternatives to our ODP endpoints and help you navigate this change on your terms, not SAP's. To learn more about how Qlik can support your specific environment, please reach out to your Qlik representative.

These are small features, but useful improvements that can be used when building your analytics apps.
Subtotals in the Straight Table
The first is the ability to add a subtotal row to a straight table. This is something we are used to seeing in a pivot table but not a straight table. Developers can now toggle on Show subtotals in a dimension field of their straight table to add subtotal rows.
Once Show subtotals is toggled on, the Label property becomes available allowing the developer to rename the label. In the table, a subtotal row is added for each asset class.
Exit Error
The second new feature is Exit Error, which is used in the script to end the execution of the script with a user defined error message. The syntax as found in Qlik Help looks like this:
Exit Error expression [(when | unless condition)]
For example, assume you are loading data in a table, and you want to exit the script execution if no data has been loaded. Using Exit Error, a variable can be checked (or some other condition) to determine if there are rows in a table that was previously loaded. If there are, continue with the script; if not, exit the script with a message. In this example, the vOpenOrders variable will be 0 if there are no rows in the table.
If the variable vOpenOrders is equal to 0, then exit the script and show the message “No open orders were loaded.” This is how the error will appear.
Creating Text and Image Objects from Pasted Images
The last new feature is a cool shortcut to create a text object or an image object. Simply paste text or an image onto an empty area on a sheet and a new text object or image object will be created. In the case of images, the pasted image will be automatically saved to the media library – a time saver. On the sheet below, I pasted this text: “I am going to create an image with this text.” and this image:
And a text object and image object were created without any additional work from me.
Note that the developer will need upload permissions for the image to be added to the media library.
That's three new ways Qlik Cloud is making app development easier — smarter subtotals, cleaner error handling, and a slick shortcut for pasted content. Small features, big time savings. Try them out in your next app and stay tuned for more updates coming soon.
Thanks,
Jennell

Qlik Strava connector: upcoming removal of Club Activities and Club Members tabl...
Effective September 1, 2026, Strava will deprecate three Club endpoints: Club Activities, Club Administrators, and Club Members. Strava has stated that the small number of developers using these endpoints does not support their continued maintenance. As a result, the ClubActivities and ClubMembers tables in the Qlik Strava connector will no longer return data after this date and will be deprecated.

Strava has stated that the small number of developers using these endpoints does not support their continued maintenance.
As a result, the ClubActivities and ClubMembers tables in the Qlik Strava connector will no longer return data after this date and will be deprecated.
The following Qlik products and their related Strave connectors are affected:
- Qlik Cloud
- QlikView
- Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows
Why is this happening?
This change originates with Strava, not Qlik. Strava is deprecating these endpoints at the API level, so any application relying on them, including the Qlik Strava connector, is affected.
What action do I need to take?
Review your Qlik apps, scripts, and automations for any use of the ClubActivities or ClubMembers tables in the Strava connector. If you rely on this data, plan to remove or replace these data sources ahead of September 1, 2026, as they will stop returning data once Strava's deprecation takes effect.
No action is needed if you don't use these tables.
What happens if I don't act?
Any loads or automations using the ClubActivities or ClubMembers tables will stop returning data after September 1, 2026.
If you have any questions, we're happy to assist. Reply to this blog post or take your queries to our Support Chat.
Thank you for choosing Qlik,
