Hi,
I need to load a excel file from the web.The web page has folders under some excel files are there and i need to get that files. Could you please tell me the way?
Thanks,
Siva
In the script editor click on the Web files button. Then paste the url to the excel file into the Internet File field. Just follow the wizard to create the load statement. It will look something like this example:
LOAD Product,
Region,
Sales,
SalesPerson,
[Transaction Date],
SalesP2
FROM
[http://community.qlik.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/303669-53923/salestodate.xls]
(biff, embedded labels, table is [Sheet1$]);
Hi Gysbert,
Thanks
I did the same but after giving URL next it showing cannot read Biff kinda error.
Is this because of password protected file?

Protected excel-files couldn't read, but there are workarounds - see here:

or per externe batch like this:
SET vCSCRIPT = 'c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe';
EXECUTE $(vCSCRIPT) "D:\OpenProtectExcelAndSaveUnprotect.vbs";
