I needed to test a ML experiment recently with a QVD instead of a csv file.
Here are the steps I followed below to create a QVD file which was then available in Catalog.
Steps
1. Upload the local csv dataset (or xlsx,etc) and analyze which will create an analytics app
2. Open up the app and navigate to "Data Load Editor"
3. Add a new section under the Auto-generated section (with the + symbol marked with a red arrow above. Note this section must run after the Auto-generated section or will error the data is not loaded.
Add the following statement:
Store train into [lib://DataFiles/train.qvd];
or
Store tablename into [lib://DataFiles/tablename.qvd];
