Decrypting data in Qlikview

Hi Gurus,

I just has been asked by my Boss to find out if there is a way to decrypt data in Qlikview if it is already encrypted in a DB.

We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 as souce DB for our reports.

Is there a way to decrypting data in Qlikview?

Many thanks in advacne.

TA

If you know the exact encryption algorithm of the encryption you might be able to write code in qlikview te decrypt it. I strongly recommend against this. Use the database features to enable Qlikview access to unencrypted data through views or stored procedures. You can use database security features to make sure that access to such views/sp's is restricted so only legitimate access for extraction purposes for qlikview is allowed.
