I'd like to recommend this article by the wonderful Angelika Kildas. 

It shows that automation should support people, not replace empathy. While chatbots and AI assistants can improve efficiency, there are moments in the customer journey where human judgment, contextual understanding, and flexibility make all the difference.

As data professionals, we often measure success through metrics such as response time, cost reduction, or automation rates. This article reminds us that customer experience, trust, and satisfaction should also be part of that evaluation.

I really enjoyed this article because it reinforces that technology creates the greatest value when it is designed with people at the center.

I listened to the episode How Data Is Changing Healthcare with @igoralcantara ,Angelika Kildas and Katherine Taylor Pearson and it offers an interesting perspective on how data, analytics, and AI are transforming one of the most complex industries there is.

Even if you don't work in healthcare, I think there are valuable lessons for anyone involved with Analytics. Many of the challenges discussed, such as data quality, governance, trust, and turning information into better decisions, are common across every industry.

Definitely worth a listen if you're interested in the real-world impact of data.

I'd love to hear what you think after listening.

Welcome, Saugata! 

Olá,

Estou tentando fazer conexão com qlik via api porém o token esta sempre me retornando vazio. Alguém ja passou por situação assim? esta é a documentação enviado pelo suporte do erp: https://api.integra.m8sistemas.com.br/docs/index.html#tag/Clientes/operation/ErpM8ConfiguracoesClienteListGet

One of the things I enjoy most about working with data is that it teaches us to look beyond the obvious metrics.

Yesterday, I read The Real Cost of AI by @igoralcantara , which reminds us that AI is about much more than faster processes or lower costs. Every optimization comes with trade-offs, and not all of them appear on a financial dashboard. Customer experience, institutional knowledge, workforce transitions, environmental impact, and governance are all part of the equation.

As professionals working with Analytics and AI, we have the opportunity to help organizations make more informed decisions. Whether or not you agree with every point the author makes, I believe it's a worthwhile read. The article encourages an important discussion about how we can adopt AI more responsibly.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Mikael is a familiar face in the Qlik Community for those who are on it often, regularly contributing through insightful questions and helpful responses to other members. He is based in Halle, near Brussels, Belgium, and he has been a part of the community for over ten years now.

As a Business Intelligence Coordinator at AZ Sint-Maria Halle, a local hospital, Mikael’s work combines data and real-world decision making. His role centers around turning operational, clinical, and financial data into meaningful insights, on dashboards in Qlik, so that his colleagues can better understand activity, performance, and processes across the hospital. He enjoys “digital transformation projects, process improvement, and finding practical ways to make complex data easier for non-technical audiences.”

Mikael’s journey with Qlik began during his time at Agilos, a Belgian company that specialized in business intelligence and data analytics. He expressed how “that experience gave me a strong foundation in Qlik and helped shape the way I look at data: not just as reports or numbers, but as practical tools that support better decisions.”

He values the Qlik Community because of the quality of learning that it offers. It is a place to find innovative ideas, learn from real problems that others are solving (sometimes problems he did not even know he had yet), and discover approaches he may not have considered on his own. Staying connected also helps him keep up with the latest Qlik news, product updates, and tips from people using Qlik in different environments. Mikael does not only stay up to date on the platform, but he contributes to discussions and offers his insights.

Outside of work, Mikael enjoys spending time with his family, walking his dog, and playing padel. All these things help him “disconnect, stay active, and recharge.”

Mikael, thank you for your continued contribution and engagement in the Qlik Community. Please join us in celebrating Mikael as our July 2026 Featured Member and leave a comment below!

As I'm setting up a workflow, I like to use the "data preview" to see if what I'm putting in is working.  At the start of the flow is seems to work well.  As I add processors (e.g. filter, join, or calculation) the preview no longer works.  For joins, it seem to not work when I select inter join, but will work sometimes if I make it left join.  

Why is the preview no working or displaying information consistently?

Thank you,

Good news, threads are back open.

The glitch that was blocking comments is fixed. If you tried to reply earlier and it wouldn't go through, give it another shot, you're all set now.

Three threads, three questions, three pairs of kicks up for grabs! Here's what we're asking:

1. Do you trust the data you'd have to act on?
2. Are you still building the same thing over and over, or have you gotten ahead of it?
3. Did you make the window when it mattered, or watch it close?

Every comment on a thread is an entry, winners drawn weekly, per thread.

Hello Team,

I am working on writeback table for the User Entries. The requirement is when the User Enters the data, I want to store them in the backend and once I am reloading the application, those data appear in the filter, charts, KPIs and in the Table, also it shows the Updated data. I am not having S3 as connector to connect with Qlik Sense.  Available options I am having is PostgreSQL, Amazon RedShift, Rest API (Direct Access gateway), Athena (But this is a Query Editor not a Database storage)

Due to Access Limitation, I am not having a permission to create an API key. 

which would be the best option for me to discuss with the client for the Access.

Note: I am thinking of using PostgreSQL and connecting with Qlik sense using Username and Password.

I highly welcome your suggestion on the above-mentioned doubt.

Hi Team,

I'm developing an application that requires a file upload feature on the dashboard for Excel and CSV files. The native upload button doesn't support reading files from the local system, so I've implemented a custom solution involving a web page, an HTTP API (to send the payload to a specified route URL), and a Lambda function (to store the file in S3).

While the API and Lambda function were successfully created, I'm encountering a "Failed to fetch" error when clicking the upload button on the web page. I suspect the issue might be related to reading local files using this approach.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Sarvesh

I recently read the new @igoralcantara Data Voyager article, “Ask Your Data This Question Before Buying AI,” and found the reflection highly relevant for anyone working with data, analytics, and artificial intelligence.

Before investing in AI, it is important to assess whether the data is well organized, whether the metrics are clearly defined, and, most importantly, which business problem we are trying to solve. AI does not automatically fix incomplete or inconsistent data... it may simply generate fast answers based on unreliable information.

This connects directly to our work with Qlik: before building advanced dashboards or adopting AI capabilities, we need a consistent data model, well-defined business rules, and metrics that are clearly understood by everyone.

The article also connected perfectly with the Data and AI Fluency Masterclass, a course I recently completed that covered these essential foundations for using AI effectively and responsibly in data analysis. This course by Priscila Papazissis ( @papazissispaolinelli ) is highly recommended.

The main message is clear: AI should support a strong data strategy, not replace it.

Definitely worth reading!

Hello Team,

Can we use Amazon S3 as the source repository, along with AWS Lake Formation and Athena for schema and table creation, and integrate this setup with Qlik Sense to enable writeback and reload functionality?

The objective is to ensure that once users enter and save their data, a reload of the application reflects the latest updates across the dashboard, including all KPIs, charts, bar graphs, and other visualizations.

Could you please clarify whether this approach is feasible and if there are any limitations or considerations that we should be aware of? This is currently a major blocker for me, and your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Also Please help me with the level of Access like do I need any Automation from Qlik Sense that will write the Data back to S3.

Thanks
Sarvesh
