If you've spent any time in the Qlik Community lately, you've probably seen Eduardo topping our quarterly leaderboards! Based in São Paulo, Brazil, Eduardo is a Support Engineer at IPC Global, where he helps clients get the most out of Qlik, cloud platforms, and AI.
Eduardo's relationship with technology goes back to childhood. As he puts it, he was always "the kid who wanted to use a computer for everything, not just games." That early curiosity shaped a career path that has taken him through a technical degree in IT, a bachelor's in Systems Development, and most recently an MBA in Project Management.
He first started working with Qlik in 2017 and joined the Community around the same time, though by his own admission, mostly as a lurker. That changed around 2022, when he began contributing more actively, posting content and jumping into discussions. Ask him about his favorite Qlik product and he won't hesitate: it's QSEoW, and it's not close. "There's something deeply satisfying about understanding what's happening under the hood," he says, adding that performance benchmarking and optimization are work he genuinely enjoys.
What keeps Eduardo coming back to the Community goes beyond just giving back. "I help when I can, but I also learn a lot from the questions people ask," he explains. Staying close to the Community keeps him sharp on product updates and helps him solve problems faster. As he puts it, "for me it's not a 'need', it's a must."
Outside of work, Eduardo describes himself as a "self-entitled nerd," and he leans into it fully. He finds a clean OS install and opening up a PC to give it a proper cleaning genuinely entertaining. He collects knives, loves cooking (his social media, by his own description, is basically food, family, and blades), and is passionate about a good Brazilian churrasco. One caveat on the travel front: he loves to explore new places, as long as a plane isn't involved.
Eduardo also took a moment to recognize two people who have been instrumental in his Qlik journey: Wendy Wallace ( @wendywallace ) and Hugo Andrade ( @hugo_andrade ). "Their support and contributions made a real difference to me, and I'm truly grateful," he shared.
Eduardo, thank you for everything you bring to this Community, your expertise, your energy, and your willingness to both teach and keep learning. Please join us in celebrating Eduardo as our June 2026 Featured Member, and leave a comment below!
Good day Qlik Community!
We are starting today a new series of videos in the Data Voyagers YouTube channel. It is called The Voyagers Log!
Most data conversations happen indoors. This one doesn't. Each Voyagers Log episode goes to a place where something important in data, statistics, or applied science actually happened. Not a history lesson. More like: if you know where an idea came from, you understand it differently than if you just learned it in a classroom.
The first episode is at Zaanse Schans in the Netherlands. Igor Alcantara and Angelika Klidas stood in front of windmills that have been running since the 17th century and talked about how that same era's obsession with mechanical problem-solving fed into the statistical methods finance still uses today.
More locations to come. Stay tuned and subscribe to our channel!
Watch it now here:

If you feel like the AI wave is moving fast, you are right. This three-day workshop is designed to be very hands-on with very little coding or scripting required. We are moving beyond basic dashboards to focus on the modern stack:
Whether you are a developer or an advanced business user, we have built this to make sure you are AI-ready and not left behind.
Details:
Boston, MA: April 28 to April 30.
King of Prussia, PA: May 19 to May 21.

See you there!
I am getting vulnerabilities on certain components in Package Cache eg libcurl.dll and node.js
I tried to remove them manually from the cache folders but this causes issues when I try to patch next time. While patching it gives error stating missing files, the only way to fix it I have to run repair.
Please let me know what is the right way to get rid of the vulnerable components from the package cache folder.

Good day Qlik Community!
In 1637, Descartes argued that no machine could ever use language to express genuine thought. He was asking the same question we are asking right now.
Four hundred years later, we are finally building the thing everyone has been arguing about. And it turns out we still don't have a good answer to the question he started with: what actually separates us from what we build?
My newest article on Data Voyagers starts with Blade Runner and ends somewhere more uncomfortable. Turing, Searle, Chalmers, Damasio, even Pinocchio. We asked what being human means and realized, partway through writing it, that we don't really know.
Do we risk becoming less human because of AI? Probably worth asking before someone else answers it for us.

Configuration are with unc paths, two servers used.
Getting just lot of errors. For example like this:

Any ideas anyone?
Good day Qlik Community,
I know must of you are not yet subscribed to the Data Voyagers YouTube channel (if that's the case, I kindly ask, please do, it will help us and you will get some very interesting content).
For that reason, let me just point out to the latest content we uploaded. We have recorded several videos at the last Qlik Connect that are all under the "Qlik Community Talk" playlist. Check it out:
Today my team is celebrating 10 years of the first Qlik app we built outside the standard analytics use case. The Vicki Remote Logs Analyzer app is a monitoring application that compiles logs from multiple services across the environment. It started as visibility, then alerting, and eventually we wired it to AWS Lambda so it can trigger self-healing actions directly from the analytics layer.
That app changed how we think about Qlik internally. We already had plenty of dashboards and analytical apps. This one proved that with Qlik available at enterprise scope, if a data source exists, we can ingest it, model it, and act on it. The line between "BI tool" and "operational platform" disappeared for us.
The internal conversation is no longer "what should we build in Qlik?" It is "which platform do we retire next and let Qlik do the job?"
A question for the community:
What is the most unexpected use of Qlik you have built or come across?
IT operations, automation, security, internal workflows, anything outside the standard BI patterns. Curious to see what people are running with it.
Hi I will write a very small program for managing rest calls. The idea is to use JSON and maybe a format that other programs can understand. Is the Talend API Tester - Free Edition and option or is the file format proprietary? I need the format to be open and free. If no which format is best if the aim is to have something working in more than one program? Postman?
From the moment you start exploring the Qlik Community this month, there’s a good chance you’ll come across the work of Priscila Rubim. Based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Priscila has quickly established herself as an emerging voice in the Qlik ecosystem, consistently showing up, contributing thoughtfully, and building a strong presence across the Community.
Whether it’s engaging in discussions, sharing knowledge, or connecting with others at events like Qlik Connect, Priscila has become a familiar and impactful contributor. She’s also an active member of the Women Who Qlik group, where she continues to support and uplift others in the data space.
Priscila works across data science, data analysis, and data development, with a strong focus on Qlik. Before transitioning into the data field, she built her academic foundation in Chemistry and completed her PhD in 2023. During that time, she began pivoting into technology and analytics in 2022, where she discovered what she describes as “a great passion for transforming data into insights.”
She enjoys spending time in the Qlik Community because it provides a space to learn, exchange ideas, and help others solve real challenges. As she puts it, it’s “a great space to learn, exchange ideas, and help other people solve real challenges,” while also allowing her to grow professionally and give back to others.
Outside of work, Priscila enjoys running, listening to music, playing video games, and continuing to learn new things, reflecting the same curiosity and drive she brings to her work in data.
Priscila, thank you for your continued contributions and engagement in the Qlik Community. Please join us in celebrating Priscila Rubim as our May 2026 Featured Member, and leave a comment below!
Hi All,
I defined a variable named vTotal Disputes Logged - Vol with the expression Num(Sum({<Status_New_Flag={1}>}Volume),'#,##0'). However, after publishing the app to Qlik Cloud, the variable does not evaluate correctly; instead, the text editor displays a completely different variable expression generated by a backend script for another purpose.
Actual Variable Expression:
How it changed after pushed to Qlik Sense Cloud :
But the same variable works well in the Enterprise environment.
and I noticed that everything works correctly when a user is defined as an ADMIN in the section access file, but errors occur when they are defined as a USER.
Help me find the root cause of this issue."
Yesterday, I received community swag and would like to say thank you…
The recognition had already made me very happy, and receiving these items made it even more special. There is so much care and kindness in this gesture, and it truly means a lot.
Side note: Karppi and Scully,the biggest gossip girls in this house, loved them too! 😛
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
Hi Team,
I am working on a Qlik Sense workflow application where data is loaded from a single source file and split into multiple logical tables associated through: Key Delivery.
I am using Straight tables for source/master data display
writeback tables for user updates
At the same time, users are expected to manually update operational fields through writeback tables.
My Question:
can editable/writeback columns be reliably used as filter pane fields in Qlik Sense?
or is it recommended that filters should only come from stable source/master data tables, while writeback tables should only store operational/manual update fields?
I would like to understand:
Best Practice
performance impact
data consistency
recommended enterprise design approach
Thanks
I was just completing the ending quiz for the module “Data Manager Associations, Concatenations and Joins” and noticed a possible issue with two of the questions.
On questions 1 and 3 (although I’m not sure if the questions are always the same), it asked me to select 2/3 correct answers, but only provided 2/3 answer options. This essentially gave away the correct answers automatically.
Just wanted to flag it in case it needs looking into.
Every KB link from within a community post recently has failed for me (I can't tell if it is really broken, or if a company policy is blocking it due to a bad certificate or something). Is this happening to everyone? The broken links begin 'support.qlik.com.'
I am having my second system-down incident in a week, and I keep seeing promising leads but always hit a dead end. It is very frustrating, since most of the posts are created by customers and partners (myself included), but now the answers are all taken away.
Hey, here is some context:
The team converted some old ERP system into Qlik, which was a beautiful work, but now, the reload time increased substantially compared to their old ERP.
Any ideas? We also dont plan to increase capacity costs.
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to access the Qlik learning module titled “Considerations when loading data from Excel.” It’s marked as free on the learning portal, but whenever I try to open it, I get the following error message:
“This activity cannot be accessed from your account.”
My understanding was that anything labelled as free (rather than subscription‑based) should be available with a basic free Qlik account. This seems to be the case for other modules—I can access “Introduction to the Data Model Viewer” and “Loading Data from a Database” without any issues.
Has anyone else run into this problem, or know why this particular module might be restricted despite being listed as free?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
We’re continuing into the spring by spotlighting a Community member who brings years of experience, consistency, and a strong passion for helping others. For our April 2026 Featured Member, we’re excited to recognize Daniele Purrone!
Originally from Italy, Daniele moved to Sweden in 2009, where he now lives with his wife Helena and their 12-year-old daughter Aurora. He enjoys spending time with his family.
Daniele has been with Qlik since 2014, working within the support organization. Over the years, he started with QlikView, transitioned to Qlik Sense, and in recent years has focused almost exclusively on Qlik Cloud Analytics. His experience across multiple generations of Qlik products gives him a strong perspective when helping others.
He enjoys posting in the Qlik Community because he genuinely likes being able to assist. Beyond that, staying active in discussions helps him identify trends and issues early, often before they turn into formal support cases, ultimately helping reduce workload for his team.
Outside of work, Daniele has several big passions. He is a dedicated supporter of Genoa CFC, the oldest football team in Italy, a connection he describes as unbreakable. He is also a huge hard rock and metal fan, with Deep Purple as his favorite band. In his free time, he has written pieces and conducted interviews with major bands including Metallica, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motörhead, and Deep Purple.
He also enjoys reading, both fiction (especially sci-fi and fantasy) and history. Another personal interest of his is the architectural and urban evolution of cities he has lived in. He collects old maps and photos and enjoys learning about the history of places in as much detail as possible.
Daniele, thank you for your continued contributions and engagement in the Qlik Community. Please join us in celebrating Daniele Purrone as our April 2026 Featured Member, and leave a comment below!
