Iceberg ベースのオープンレイクハウスへの移行
Apache Iceberg を搭載したオープンレイクハウスは、データ管理の風景を再定義します。レイクハウスは、データレイクのスケーラビリティとデータウェアハウスのパフォーマンスと信頼性を融合させることで、オープンスタンダードを受け入れながら、データに対するこれまでにない柔軟性と制御を提供します。
ますます多くの組織が、データサイロを打破し、相互運用性を高め、クラウドで大幅なコスト削減を達成するために、Apache Iceberg によるオープンレイクハウスに目を向けています。最近の業界調査によると、半数以上の大規模組織が、レイクハウスアーキテクチャを採用することで分析コストを50%以上削減できると予想しており、一部は最大75%の削減を予想しています。これらの劇的な削減は、データの重複を排除し、データ移動を合理化し、ストレージとコンピューティングを独立してスケーリングし、必要な分だけを支払うことを保証することによるものです。
レイクハウスの価値を最大限に実現するためのたくさんの課題
しかし、これはまだ急速に進化している領域であり、組織はレイクハウスから最大の価値を得て、Apache Iceberg の真の約束を実現するために、いくつかの不透明な海域をナビゲートする必要があります。主な課題には以下が含まれます。
- ネイティブインジェクションの欠如:Apache Iceberg は強力なテーブル形式ですが、組み込みのインジェスト機能がないため、データチームは外部ツールに依存して、運用システムから Iceberg テーブルにデータを簡単かつ効率的に移動する必要があります。
- 複雑で脆弱なパイプライン:堅牢なデータパイプラインの構築と維持には、スキーマの進化、データ品質、観察可能性を管理し、バーストワークロードを処理するために、かなりのエンジニアリングの努力が必要です。これらはすべてエラーや非効率性が発生しやすい領域です。
- 手動最適化のボトルネック:最適化されていない Iceberg テーブルは、クエリを劇的に遅延しながら、ストレージ利用量をすぐに増加させる可能性があります。Iceberg で高性能なクエリを実現するには、個々のテーブルの継続的な調整、圧縮、およびパーティション化が必要です。多くの場合、手動、またはスケールしない限られたオープンソースツールにより管理されます。
- データの信頼と系統の可視性:自動化された品質チェックとエンドツーエンドの系統がないと、組織は正確で完全なデータによるAI・データ分析・コンプライアンス主導のワークロードに対応することは困難です。
Qlik Open Lakehouseの紹介
この度、Qlik Open Lakehouse を発表できることを嬉しく思います。Qlik Talend Cloud の新機能で、Apache Iceberg ベースのレイクハウスによりデータの取り込み、管理、最適化の方法を根本的に簡素化します。
ほんの数ヶ月前、私たちは Apache Iceberg への革新とコミットメントを加速するために Upsolverの買収を発表しました。そして今、Upsolver プラットフォームを Qlik Talend Cloud に統合し、Qlik Open Lakehouse を発表できることを嬉しく思います。この統合により、ユーザーは Amazon S3 環境にレイクハウスアーキテクチャを簡単に展開し、数回クリックするだけでバッチとリアルタイムの両方のデータを Iceberg テーブルに直接ロードできます。複雑で壊れやすいパイプライン、ボトルネック、手動設定はありません。
Iceberg の実装に通常伴う運用の複雑さにとらわれる必要はありません。Qlik Open Lakehouse は、すべての難しい部分を自動的に処理します。ソーススキーマをターゲット構造にマッピングします。データタイプの競合を解決し、インテリジェントなパーティションを適用し、自動ファイル圧縮を実行し、スキーマの進化を管理し、更新と削除を正確に処理します。手動による作業なしで継続的に実行します。舞台裏では、Qlikの Adaptive Iceberg Optimizer が Iceberg テーブルを継続的に監視およびリアルタイムで最適化し、パフォーマンスを向上させ、ストレージ使用量を最小限に抑えます。
そして、その結果をご紹介しましょう。
- 適応最適化により、クエリのパフォーマンスを最大5倍高速化
- 効率的な圧縮とクリーンアップにより、ストレージコストを最大50%削減
- エンタープライズ規模の Iceberg 管理のための真のノーコードエクスペリエンス
さらに、これらの機能はすべて、Qlik Talend Cloud のStandard Edition 以上に含まれ、Apache Icebergの採用と作業がさらに簡単で手頃な価格になります。バッチデータでもリアルタイムデータでも、Qlik Open Lakehouse を使用すると、運用上の負担なしに Apache Iceberg のパワーを最大限に活用できます。
Qlik Open Lakehouse はプライベートプレビューで利用可能になり、2025年 7月に一般公開されます。Qlik Open Lakehouse の早期アクセスプログラム(EAP)に参加することに興味がある場合は、こちらのリンクからサインアップしてください。
Qlik Open Lakehouseの主な特徴
Icebertへのリアルタイムの高スループットな取り込み
Apache Iceberg に大量のバッチとリアルタイムのデータを取り込むことは、かつてないほど簡単になりました。Qlik Open Lakehouse を使用すると、運用データベース、SaaS アプリ、SAP、メインフレーム、ファイルソース、CDC ストリームなど、数百のソースからデータを Iceberg テーブルに直接取得できます。お客様は既存の 200以上の Qlik Talend Cloud ソースから AWS S3 環境の Iceberg テーブルに直接低遅延のデータ取り込みを実行できるようになります。
運用システムからのリアルタイム更新であれ、履歴スナップショットであれ、Qlik はデータの書き込み、マージ、最適化を迅速に実行します。タイプ 1 とタイプ 2 両方の変更履歴をサポートし、最も厳しい SLA を満たします。
Qlikはお客様に代わり以下の複雑さを処理します。
✅自動スキーママッピング
✅ 競合解決のタイプ
✅インテリジェントなパーティション作成
✅スキーマの進化
✅ 処理の更新/削除
さらに重要なことは、お客様は AWS スポットインスタンスを使用して、費用対効果の高い Qlik コンピューティングを活用して、取り込みとブロンズレイヤーをサポートし、コンピューティングの節約と効率をさらに高めることができることです。
その結果は?高速、効率的、費用対効果の高いデータ取り込みをコードも手作業も不要で行えるのです。
Qlik Adaptive Iceberg Optimizer
業界をリードする Qlik のAdaptive Iceberg Optimizer テクノロジーは、テーブルを継続的に監視し、各テーブルの固有の特性に基づいて実行する理想的な最適化、圧縮、クリーンアップを決定し、比類のないパフォーマンス向上(最大2.5倍から5倍のパフォーマンス改善)と最大50%のコスト削減を実現します。
他の Iceberg 最適化サービスでは、ユーザーは各テーブルを手動で設定して最適化動作を調整および微調整する必要があります。このプロセスは退屈で複雑で、単にスケーラブルではありません。Qlik のAdaptive Iceberg Optimizer は、各テーブルを監視し、独自の特性に動的に適応し、手動で調整されたテーブルと比較して、クエリのパフォーマンスが向上し、コストを削減します。それはすべてのエンジニアリングのないパフォーマンスなのです。
Upsolver プラットフォームを使用して大幅なコスト削減とビジネスへの影響をどのように推進できたか、Iron Source や Cox Automotive などの大手組織の詳細をご覧ください。
データウェアハウスミラーリング
データウェアハウスミラーリングにより、ユーザーは Qlik Open Lakehouse Iceberg テーブルからクラウドデータウェアハウス(Snowflake など)にデータを自動的に複製して、データの複製やコピーを作成することなく、クエリや追加のダウンストリーム変換を有効にすることができます。これにより、既存のシステムとの相互運用性が保証され、データの重複が最小限に抑えられ、さらにコスト削減が実現されます。ユーザーは、費用対効果の高い Qlik コンピューティングを利用してインジェストとブロンズレイヤーを実行するオプションもあり、データを Snowflake に簡単にミラーリングして、さらに下流の処理と変換を行い、両方の長所を提供します。
オープンで業界をリードする統合
Qlik Open Lakehouse は、オープンでプラットフォームに依存しないように設計されています。それはベンダーロックインの回避を意味します。AWS Glue、Apache Polaris(incubating)、Snowflake Open Catalog などの業界をリードするカタログと統合されているため、ユーザーは主要な Iceberg 互換プラットフォームまたはクエリエンジンのいずれかを使用して、ペタバイトのデータに対して高性能クエリを達成できます。お好みのクエリエンジン、カタログ、または分析プラットフォームを使用してください。私たちはそれらをネイティブに統合します。
- カタログ:AWS Glue、Apache Polaris(incubating)、Snowflake Open Catalog
- プラットフォームとクエリエンジン:Snowflake、Amazon Athena、Trino、Presto、Dremio、Apache Sparkなど
- クラウドストレージ:Amazon S3(今後さらにサポート)

Working with Timestamps in Qlik Sense: 7 Practical Tips

Show MoreHandling simple calendar dates in Qlik is "usually straightforward". Timestamps, on the other hand are a different story. Fractions of a day, time-zone offsets, and “why won’t this sort?” moments can slow you down when developing an app.
In this blog post, I compiled 7 tips that can help you when dealing with Timestamps in Qlik.
1- Know Your Duals
Every Qlik timestamp has two sides:
- Numeric side: days since 1899-12-30 (midnight = whole number)
- Text side: the display mask Qlik generates
Num(MyTS) // 45435.6542 (barcode) Text(MyTS) // 2024-05-22 15:42:05 (tag)
Purpose
Example
Formatters
Timestamp() / Date() / Time()Change only the display text (tag)
Date(MyTS, 'MMM-YYYY')
→ “May-2024”Interpreters
Timestamp#() / Date#() / Time#()Take raw text, build a new dual value, i.e. create the barcode.
Timestamp#('2024-05-22 15:42', 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm')
→ dual value:
- numeric: 45435.65417
- text: “2024-05-22 15:42”Usually, issues with filters not working etc... will come from loading a timestamp as plain text and trying to format it later, changing only the "tag", never creating the "barcode".
2- Parse Once, Keep the Raw Text
Raw timestamps often land in your Qlik Sense App in different ways:
- 2025-05-23 14:31
- 5/23/25 2:31 PM
- Unix epochs
- Excel serials
- etc...
Instead of trying to print them in a pretty way everywhere, you can instead:
- Interpret the text a single time in the load script.
- Store the parsed dual in a clean field (TS).
- Keep the raw field off to the side for future re-parse.
LOAD RawTS, // original column Timestamp#(RawTS,'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss') AS TS // dual value ...
You can use "TS" for date calculations, for instance:
- Floor(TS) AS OrderDate
- Frac(TS) AS TimeKeyand keep "RawTS" hidden for QA, or re-parsing later.
3- Floor() + Frac() — Split Calendar and Clock
Timestamps captured to the second (or millisecond) contain far more detail than most analyses need.
Using that raw granularity in filter panes or chart axes can crowd the UI with millions of distinct values and add unnecessary processing overhead, so a better approach would be to split each timestamp into a date part and a time part so you can control it betterFunction
Example result
Why?
OrderDate
Floor(TS)
2024-05-22
Links neatly to your master calendar—great for YTD, MoM, etc...
TimeKey
Frac(TS)
0.60486… (14:31)
Lets you build a small “clock” dimension for charts
LOAD Floor(TS) AS OrderDate, // 2024-05-22 Round( Frac(TS), 1/1440 ) AS TimeKey_1min // 00:00 … 23:59 ...
Why round?
- Minute precision (1/1440 of a day) keeps the time dimension at 1440 values, this is perfect for charts, while OrderDate links neatly to your master calendar.
- Clearer visuals: users choose “14:30” instead of scrolling through every second.
- Predictable model size: 1440 rows in a minute-level time table, regardless of how much fact data you load.
- Flexible math: the original TS is still there if you need second-level calculations.
For 15-min blocks, you'd do this:
Round( Frac(TS), 1/96 ) AS TimeKey_15min
4- Master Time Table
After you’ve split the timestamp into Date and TimeKey, you still need a small lookup table so charts can show friendly labels like “14 : 30.” That’s where a Master Time table comes in. Below, we generate exactly one row per minute, no more no less, so that our app gets a clean predictable clock dimension.
Explanation
IterNo()
Produces 0 … 1439 during AUTOGENERATE.
/ 1440
Turns each integer into the fraction of a day (1 = 24 h).
Round(…, 1/1440)
Rounds the fraction exactly on the minute boundary. Time(…, 'hh:mm')
Formats the fraction as “00:00”, “00:01”, … “23:59”.
Need 15-minute buckets? Change 1440 to 96 and 1/1440 to 1/96.
Check out Hic's blog post here for more in-depth information on this topic.
5- Converting Odd Formats (Unix Epoch & Excel Serial)
Not every data source delivers nice ISO date strings. Two formats you'll encounter most of the time:
What it means
Typical sources
Unix Epoch
An integer that counts seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC.
Example 1716460800 is 2024-05-23 00:00 UTCREST APIs, server logs, Kafka streams etc...
Excel Serial
A decimal that counts days since “1899-12-30 00:00” (Excel's day 0).
Example 45435.75 is 2024-05-22 18:00CSVs saved from Excel etc...
Load once, store as a proper dual, format later however you like.
// Unix Epoch (seconds) to Qlik timestamp (Epoch / 86400) + 25569 AS TS_UTC // 86400 = sec per day // Excel Serial to Qlik timestamp ExcelSerial + Date#('1899-12-30') AS TS_Excel
Why 25569?
-> That's the number of days between Qlik (& Excel)'s day 0 (1899-12-30) and Unix's day 0 (1970-01-01).If you need a static timezone conversion? Add or subtract the offset in days:
(Epoch/86400)+25569 + (-4/24) AS TS_Local // convert to UTC-4
6- Turning Raw Seconds into Readable Durations with Interval()
When you subtract two timestamps Qlik gives you a fraction of a day and gives you something like: 0.0027. But this doesn't really tell you the actual duration. You probably would understand something like this instead: 00:03:55.
That’s what the Interval() function is for, to convert numeric time spans into clean, readable timestamps.// Average call duration → 03:55 Interval( Avg(EndTS - StartTS) , 'hh:mm' )
If you need the raw number too, you can pair Interval() with Num():
// friendly + raw seconds Interval(Avg(EndTS - StartTS),'hh:mm') AS AvgDuration, Num( Avg(EndTS - StartTS) * 86400 ) AS SecDuration
The result: The dashboard objects show 03:55 while any export still carries the raw value 222 seconds for downstream math.
Interval() is the quickest way to turn fractions of a day into durations everyone understands.
7- Applying a Simple Time-Zone Offset
Qlik stores every timestamp as a serial day-count with no built-in timezone. If your source data arrives in UTC but end users need to view time in Eastern Time, you can apply a static offset right in the load script:
// 1 hour = 1/24 of a day LET vOffset = -4 / 24; // EST (UTC - 4 hours) ... LOAD UTC_TS, UTC_TS + $(vOffset) AS LocalTS ...
Result:
LocalTS shows 08:00 when UTC_TS is 12:00.When a static shift is enough
- Historical data analyses (offset never changes).
- Systems that log in a single, known zone.
Handling daylight-saving shifts
If you need results for different regions that switch between standard and daylight time:
How
ConvertToLocalTime()
ConvertToLocalTime(UTC_TS, 'US/Eastern', 1)
More info on the help docs- Built-in Qlik function
- Pass “1” to auto-adjust for DST.Handle at the source
Do the conversion at the source DB, ETL tool, or API
Keeps Qlik lean and avoids re-computing on every app reload.
• For a fixed zone, add or subtract hours / 24.
• For regions with daylight changes, use ConvertToLocalTime() or adjust before the data hits Qlik.That's all for this post. Time is certainly tricky, but once you understand Qlik’s dual-value modeland leverage the tips and tricks above, it becomes just another dimension in your analytics!

Show MoreIn this episode of Do More with Qlik: Tips and Tricks Edition, I walk you through how to create dependent task chains in Qlik Cloud. Whether you're managing scripts, data flows, or apps, building a task chain ensures that each process runs in sequence—only when the previous one succeeds.
We’ll be working in a demo space called “Tasks Demo,” using three core objects:
-
A script that pulls pricing data and stores it in cloud storage.
-
A data flow that combines that data with inventory details to create a QVD.
-
An app that visualizes the results in a clear and simple dashboard.
In this video, you’ll learn how to:
-
Set up a scheduled time-based task.
-
Configure tasks to trigger only when a prior task succeeds.
-
Monitor task progress and view refresh statuses in real time.
This approach not only improves the reliability of your data updates but also helps you build a foundation for more complex automation across your Qlik environment.
👇 Watch the video below to see the full walkthrough and learn how to build your own dependent task chain in just a few clicks.

- Collaboration: Assign multiple team members to manage and execute automations.
- Control: Space roles limit access and keep automations secure.
- Continuity: Avoid disruptions and ensure automations run smoothly, even when key users are unavailable.
How It Works
Teams can create, organize, and manage automations in shared spaces. This setup makes it easy to control who can run, duplicate, and view, offering flexibility and security. Learn more here
Rollout Plan
This capability is being rolled out across regions over time:
- May 5: India, Japan, Middle East, Sweden
- TBD: Asia Pacific, Germany, United Kingdom, Singapore
- TBD: United States
- TBD: Europe
- TBD: Qlik Cloud Government
[Update: May 7] The previously-scheduled rollouts of Automation Sharing and Collaboration for some regions have been temporarily postponed. We are working on an updated release plan and updated release dates are soon to be determined (TBD). Thank you for your understanding.

Navigation Enhancements
In July 2024 we introduced some major navigation enhancements across the platform, which are inclusive of both new features and existing enhancements. All of these components combined now allow for a more intuitive and fluid experience for everyone. The below bulleted items are the positively impacted areas by this release:
- Navigation Menu
- Sheet Navigation
- Sheet Grouping
- UI Settings
Our teams have been hard at work making robust accessible assets and resources to cover this topic in depth. For more information, whether high-level or the nitty-gritty, please check out the following:
- BLOG: Navigating Qlik Cloud's newest user experience
- SaaS in 60 - Qlik Talend Data Integration Navigation Improvements
- What's new in Qlik Cloud
Pivot Table Improvements
This is one of those times that we condone messing with a classic such as the Pivot Table, especially when you improve it with features just as classic, you know? Check out the new additions below!:
- Add an image to a cell within the pivot table via URL
- Copy a cell value
- Export to image and PDF
- Monitor and snapshot your Pivot Tables
- Ability to Subscribe!
Cyclic Dimensions Improvements (based off customer feedback!)
- Ability to now set an active field within the cyclic
- Newly implemented expression based labels for both drill down dimensions and cyclic dimensions!
Straight Table - Enhancements
- Text styling by expression set the dimension or measure to any combination of bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough using a second expression with tags <b>, <i>, <u> and <s>.
- Modifiers turn your measure into an accumulation, a moving average, a difference, or a relative number with a single drop down.
- Image in cell via URL
- Cell font styling
Improvements to Selection Bar
- Custom themes can now be utilized to style the selection bar
- Updates to how labels work with selection:
- If the user has provided a label to a master dimension, then that label will be used rather than the field name in the underlying data model. This will improve usability and make it easier to create multilingual applications.
- If the user has provided a label to a master dimension, then that label will be used rather than the field name in the underlying data model. This will improve usability and make it easier to create multilingual applications.
Combo Chart Updates
- You now have the option to display labels on stacked measure segments
- This new improvement was a special request from YOU! We are happy to announce we have now implemented adding labels to markers and a setting to toggle the grid.
Tab Container Changes + Bundled Charts
- Tab Container: Please note that we have made changes to our container visualization within the viz bundle and you may now find it under the nomenclature: "Tab Container". The old container has moved over to the dashboard bundle and will shortly be deprecated.
- Bundled Charts: All remaining dashboard and visualization bundle charts receive general styling!
Data Prep
Improved UX for Script Editing
- The script editing experience has been improved in the Data load editor and now offers the same functionality as the Script editor. The editor now includes a data preview feature, allowing users to get better insight when writing script to load data.
- Visual wizards have been added to easily write Store statements or include QVS files. The editor also adds usability improvements such as resizable panels and the possibility to preview the content of the included QVS files.
New Functionality for Search & Replace
- Users can now search and replace text within the expression editor in Qlik Sense apps, just as they can already do in the script editor and data load editor. This includes a "replace all" option, allowing for quick bulk edits within a single complex expression.
- The usability of the expression editor has also been improved by adding a confirmation dialog when closing with unsaved changes.
New Ability for Autocomplete Hints
- Users can now enable or disable autocomplete hints when writing Qlik script in the script editor, data load editor, and expression editor.
*Important Notice*

Show MoreThe Federal Senate of Brazil, in partnership with the Avon Institute, is using Qlik’s analytics platform to combat violence against women. Previously, data on these crimes was scattered and hard to act on. With Qlik, the Senate created a centralized dashboard that reveals critical patterns, helping inform legislation and drive public action.
This initiative earned international recognition, receiving the Global Impact Award at the 2024 Qlik Global Transformation Awards for its innovative use of data for social justice.
As Beatriz Accioly, Head of Partnerships at the Avon Institute, explains:
“Data without a story doesn’t make sense; Qlik enables us to tell that story in a way that’s compelling to people who want to take a stand.”Thanks to analytics, data that was once hidden is now shaping real-world decisions and protecting lives.
Students, professors, and universities can be part of this change. Through the Qlik Academic Program, Qlik offers free software, training, certifications, and resources to help the academic community build essential data skills.

Show MoreData analytics in sports is not an entirely new phenomenon, but its role has expanded tremendously in recent years, particularly in India. In cricket, for instance, teams have long used video analysis and player statistics to gain insights. However, the application of data now extends far beyond traditional match statistics and video reviews.
The future of sports will be heavily data-driven. As technology continues to evolve, more sophisticated analytical tools will become available, making data even more integral to sports training, injury prevention, and strategy development.

Show MoreA composite KPI is a powerful way to layer multiple chart objects—like KPIs, line charts, and gauges—within a layout container to create a unified, custom visualization. By overlapping these elements, you can combine a bold numeric value (e.g., total sales) with a trend line or mini chart that adds context and visual depth. This technique transforms static KPIs into dynamic, insight-rich visuals. The layout container’s flexibility allows precise positioning and transparency adjustments, helping you design dashboards that are both informative and visually compelling.

Let us know in the comments if you’ll be joining us — and be sure to stop by the Qlik Community booth to say hello!
We’re also excited to share a couple of new enhancements:
Archive Area
Located under the Forums section, this new space includes two read-only boards:- One for archived forums or older conversations

To start, we’ve moved Pipeline Designer to Archived Discussions and Qlik Enterprise Governance to Archived Groups. This helps us keep the Community organized while still preserving valuable content.
Qlik Connect Badges
We will be offering TWO new badge opportunities this year!
- Visit our booth and receive the official Qlik Connect 2025 badge
- Participate in the Q36.5 charity ride and receive a Tour de Qlik badge
We’ve also expanded our Qlik Nation integration, but more to come on that later.
We’re always working to make the Qlik Community more helpful, accessible, and organized for everyone. These changes are just the beginning — and we’re excited for what’s ahead.
Have any questions or feedback about the new Archive Area? Drop a comment below or stop by the Qlik Community booth at Qlik Connect — we’d love to chat with you in person!
See you next week!

How to Handle Custom CSS in Qlik Sense (Now and Going Forward)
Custom CSS has been a popular workaround in Qlik Sense for years, helping developers tweak layouts, hide buttons, and get around styling limitations. ... Show MoreCustom CSS has been a popular workaround in Qlik Sense for years, helping developers tweak layouts, hide buttons, and get around styling limitations. But things are shifting. With the Multi-KPI object being deprecated and native styling options getting stronger with every release, it’s a good time to rethink how we approach custom styling in Qlik Sense moving forward.
In this post, we’ll break down:
- Why custom CSS is used in Qlik Sense
- What’s changing (and why Multi-KPI is being deprecated)
- Best practices for styling moving forward
- Alternatives for injecting CSS when needed
- What you can (and should) do now to future-proof your apps
Let’s dive in!
Why is custom CSS used in Qlik Sense?
In the past, Qlik’s built-in styling options were limited. That led to many developers using CSS to:
- Hide toolbars, buttons, and headers
- Apply custom fonts or background gradients
- Create grouped layouts or dashboards with unique branding
Most of this was made possible by either creating custom themes, building extensions, or using the Multi-KPI object as a helper to inject CSS code. But as powerful as these techniques were, they also came with downsides, like breakage after updates or difficulty governing app behavior at scale.
So, What’s Changing?
The biggest shift is the deprecation of the Multi-KPI object, which has served as a popular CSS injection tool. Here's what you need to know:
EOL of the Multi-KPI object is May 2026:
- Existing dashboards will still work for now, but migration is highly encouraged.
- The object is deprecated due to governance challenges and unintended side effects from injected CSS.
If you’ve been using the Multi-KPI as a styling workaround, it’s time to plan for alternatives.
Native Styling Has Come a Long Way
Before reaching for CSS, it's worth exploring what Qlik now offers natively. Many of the styling tweaks that once required CSS are now fully supported in the product UI.
Here’s a quick look at recent additions:
Native styling available now or coming in the next update
Straight Table
Background images, word wrap, mini charts, zebra striping, null styling, header toggle
Pivot Table
Indentation mode, expand/collapse, RTL support, cyclic dimensions
Text Object
Bullet lists, hover toggle, border control, support for up to 100 measures
Line Chart
Point and line annotations
Scatter Plot
Reference lines with slope, customizable outline color and width
Layout Container
Object resizing and custom tooltips
Navigation Menu
Sheet title expressions, left/right panel toggle, divider control
And this list keeps growing. If you're building new apps or redesigning old ones, these built-in features will cover a huge percentage of use cases.Many deprecated CSS tricks are now native. Check out the full Obsolete CSS Modifications post for examples and native replacements.
What About Themes?
Themes are not going anywhere. In fact, they remain the most robust and supported way to apply consistent styling across your app portfolio.
With custom themes, you can:
- Define global font families, sizes, and colors
- Style specific object types like bar charts, pie charts, list boxes, and even treemaps
- Customize titles, footers, legends, and more via the JSON schema
- Apply branding at scale without touching each sheet manually
You can still include CSS files in themes, but remember:
- Inline styles used by Qlik objects may require the use of "!important" to override.
- Themes are not ideal for object-ID-specific or user-interactive CSS injection.
If you're new to themes, Qlik.dev has a great guide to get started, or checkout my previous blog post for some tips and tricks.
Still Need Custom CSS? Here’s What You Can Do
If your use case goes beyond what native styling or themes can handle—like hiding a specific button, or styling based on object IDs—you still have a few options:
- Extensions (with scoped CSS)
Prefix styles with .qv-object-[extension-name] to isolate your rules.
Load styles using RequireJS or inject via <style> in JS.? - Mashups
Full control over styling via your own HTML + CSS + JavaScript.
Ideal for web apps embedding Qlik charts via qlik-embed
What's Missing
A lot of Qlik users have voiced the same thing: "we still need an officially supported way to inject CSS at the sheet or app level"
Some have suggested:
- A new “Advanced Styling” section in sheet properties.
- A standalone helper object just for advanced styling (like Multi-KPI but cleaner).
- Ability to define per-object-type styling rules in themes (e.g. “all straight tables”).
Qlik has acknowledged this feedback and hinted that future solutions are being considered.
What You Should Do Today
- Use native styling wherever possible—it's safer, easier to maintain, and now way more powerful
- Migrate away from Multi-KPI if you’ve been using it to inject CSS
- Explore themes for app-wide branding and consistent object styling
- Use extensions or mashups for truly custom experiences
- Follow community updates for new announcements around styling capabilities
That’s a wrap on this post. With more native styling features on the way, I’ll be keeping an eye out and will be likely sharing a follow-up as things evolve. If you're in the middle of refactoring or exploring new approaches, stay tuned, there’s more to come.
