What are the supported file formats?

[#1]

I just downloaded QlikView Personal Edition for evaluation for my work.

When I create a new file, I found out that the only selection of file formats available is a collection of different excel file formats.

So, I'm wondering here if QlikView commercial edition supports other files formats like CSV, MSACCESS, or maybe connecting to various different database engines such as MySQL, MSSQL?

Hello Michael - please take a look at this video series - it will answer your initial question and much more:

Yes - there are many data sources and formats that can be used with Personal Edition. The wizard that starts when you start QlikView - is just a helper tool - the Getting Started Wizard -  If you wanted to - you could put *.* in the input box and select .csv and other text based data and delimited data.

Please let me know how you do.
