DBI file is a Data Explorer Information. Data Explorer is a program you can use to manage BDP (Borland Data Provider) data sources and to browse the databases.

Hi,

I have had a look at this and the files and am not sure that It can be done, as far as I can see the file types are not supported by qlikview, and when you try opening them in a text editor they are either encrypted, or do not actually contain any data and are instead  system related files

As per my knowledge , we need to convert this files to QV readable formats like CSV or excel etc than you need to feed the same for QV

Hi.

I changed the file extension to .xls, then opened with Excel and did so without problems, then "Save As" and save it as a file excel to read from qlikview.

Thanks everyone for your help.
