We’re starting off the new year by shining a light on someone who helps shape Qlik from the inside out, and who shows up in the Community to listen, learn, and contribute along the way. For our first Featured Member of the year, we’re excited to recognize one of our own: Dave Channon, a familiar and trusted voice across the forums and our January 2026 Featured Member!

Dave is part of the Analytics product team, and you’ll often find him jumping into conversations around APIs, frameworks, developer workflows, and app development, not just to answer questions, but to listen. As Dave puts it, “I rely on the Community to keep me aligned to the challenges and opportunities that customers and partners see with our software.” He uses these discussions as a key input, alongside Qlik Ideation, to inform product ideas, documentation improvements, and new tools.

His consistent engagement reflects a belief that the best products are built in conversation with the people who use them, and the Community plays a huge role in making that possible.

Outside of his day-to-day work, Dave keeps busy creating unsolicited and unsupported scripts and projects to help Qlik developers (Some might say it’s a hobby, others might call it dedication!). A few of these projects even live on as pinned repositories on his GitHub, quietly helping developers solve problems and move faster.

Dave, thank you for showing up, listening closely, and helping connect our product work with the voices of the Community. Please join us in celebrating Dave Channon as our January 2026 Featured Member, and drop a comment below!

Good day, 

I've encountered an unexpected issue. My Sales App is not updating with the latest January 2026 data. Data for all previous months is accurate; however, January 2026 is not loading correctly. The application pulls data from CSV files via automation, which ran successfully. the CSV files are stored in a OneDrive folder that is populated by our ERP every day.

Can anyone please kindly assist. Your assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who jumped in and participated in our first Qlik Community Scavenger Hunt! We saw great turnout and loved seeing how engaged everyone was throughout the hunt.

A huge congratulations to our winners:
@spetkov-movexm

You all cracked the code and earned some prizes!!!

Thanks again to everyone who took part, shared hints, and cheered each other on. A special shoutout to @Brett_Cunningham @Jamie_Gregory @Sue_Macaluso @nicole_ulloa for all their hard work behind the scenes to make this scavenger hunt possible! We hope to do something like this again in the future, so keep an eye out for what’s next.

Best,

Data Voyagers 4th video on MCP is now live!

This video is another one on the series of MCP capabilities, the protocol that allows you to use LLM to control and integrate one or more APIs through a conversational flow. In this video, we demonstrate how we can create a routine to copy data from one data source to another.

Watch it here and make sure you are subscribed to the Data Voyagers YouTube channel.

Did your Qlik reloads suddenly stop picking up dashboard variable values? You aren't crazy. Qlik has made significant changes to how front-end variables interact with the back-end load script, specifically regarding the behavior of standard variables vs. ScriptOnlyVariables.

The "old way" of relying on dashboard variables automatically carrying over to the script during a reload is no longer reliable due to these recent platform updates. If your ETL process depends on user input from the UI, you need a new approach.

In the video below, I break down exactly what changed and demonstrate the robust, modern solution: using Qlik Application Automation (QAA) to bridge the gap.

📅 In the video, we cover:

This is essential knowledge for any Qlik developer ensuring their data pipelines remain interactive and reliable.

Good day, Qlik Community!

We just launched on Data Voyagers our 5th video on MCP. Today I am showing how I am using MCP to run predictions on Qlik Predict from a database and save the results back to it. Pretty cool capability.

As always, I ask you: if you like, please share it!

I would also ask, if you can, to subscribe to the Data Voyagers YouTube channel.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first-ever Qlik Community Scavenger Hunt! The hunt has officially ended and submissions are now closed. 

Throughout the hunt, we hid secret letters across the Community, with each clue leading participants to a new destination in the navigation. Watching everyone follow the trail, collaborate in the comments, and crack the final phrase made this first scavenger hunt especially fun to run. Winners will be contacted directly, so keep an eye on your inbox.

Thanks again for jumping in and helping make the Qlik Community such a curious, collaborative place!

As we close out another incredible year in the Qlik Community, we're thrilled to spotlight someone whose consistency, passion, and dedication have stood out month after month. For more than 16 years, Hugo has woven Qlik into nearly every part of his life, from his early days in QlikView 8.5 to the cloud-focused ecosystem he works in today. He’s topped our Community leaderboards for the past six months, helping members solve problems, uncover insights, and build better solutions together. His impact is unmistakable, and it’s only fitting that he’s our December 2025 Featured Member.

Hugo leads support operations and AWS infrastructure at IPC Global, managing a distributed team across Brazil and the U.S. But ask him why he shows up in the Community, and he’ll tell you it’s simple: “People genuinely appreciate any help they receive, and that encouraged me to participate more.” That spirit of contribution extends across everything he does in the Community, including the French and Spanish forums, where he challenges himself to practice new languages while helping others along the way.

Outside of Qlik, Hugo volunteers at his Church and his kids’ school, serves as a Scoutmaster, and plays in a weekly 40+ basketball group. He’s also a proud Qlik swag ambassador, sporting t-shirts and his laptop bag on client visits!

Thank you, Hugo, for your generosity, expertise, and the energy you bring to the Qlik Community. Please join us in celebrating Hugo as our December 2025 Featured Member, and drop a comment below!

Hello,

When I applied to register for the Qlik Academy program on November 28, 2025, I was directed to the following verification page. When I selected my university on this page, I received an error stating that university services were not defined. As a student, I want to visualize my reporting work with Qlik Sense. I can verify my student ID with an official document issued by the government. I kindly request your assistance in verifying my account for the Qlik Academy program regarding this matter. I have uploaded screenshots of the verification screen and error screen to the ticket.

My University email: *****@aof.anadolu.edu.tr

Good day, Qlik Community!
