How to find sources of data within a QlikView App

I received a QlikView App that they want me to convert to a Power BI report. How do I find the data sources used in the QlikView App so I can recreate the dataset in Power BI?

Hi @charley672,

The QlikView document load script will have all of the data sources. You can access the load script by opening the Edit Script Dialog via the File menu or clicking the Edit Script icon in the toolbar, or use keyboard shortcut CTRL + E. Another option would be to check the document log of the QlikView app. If document logging is enabled, it will be stored in the same directory in which the QVW file is housed. If document logging is not enabled, you will need to open the QVW file in QlikView Desktop, click Settings > Document Properties > General tab and ensure the Generate Logfile checkbox is ticked. Then run the reload task so that the document log is generated.
