[Article] Can Qlik Answers read structured data?

[igoralcantara]

Good day Qlik Community,

It's me again (not Mario, but Igor). Contrary to what my initials say (Alcantara, Igor) I am not an AI but I do like AI. If you read my previous articles in Data Voyagers(BLOG | Data Voyagers), you know that I writing about my experience with Qlik Answers. This is another one of those.

In theory, and that is what I have being telling customers, Qlik Answers only works with unstructured data. However, the 2nd most common question I answer is "can Qlik Answers reads structured data like Excel or CSV?"(the first is: "Can I export to Excel?").

Well, this time I decided to test it and to explore how I could make the impossible, possible.

It is all here. I hope you all enjoy it. If so, please like it and share it.

Can we make Qlik Answers talk to Excel? (datavoyagers.net)

Thanks Igor, Loved the blog post about Qlik Answers! Its amazing how you answered a question about how will Qlik Answer manage unstructured data that I haven't seen any of the Qlik marketing documents put a spotlight or caveat on! 

Enjoyed your style of writing and absolutely looking forward to more of your blog posts! 

PS: you gained a fan and you remind of HIC! 😊

Thank you for your kind words. Being compared to HIC is an honor that I do not deserve. Thank you very much.

Darnit. I was hoping it was Mario.

Good write-up. Interesting that the most common formats can't be read correctly, but others can, and definitely a good thing to know.
