Connecting to Power BI

[OrlandoSilva]

Hi, 

Is there a connector that I can install so that PowerBI pulls data directly from QlikView?

Probably not - see related post about loading QVD files into PowerBI https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/QVD/td-p/337284 

In the Qlikview load script save the data as a csv and load that into PowerBI.

That's what I've done in the past.

Hi, did anyone find a way to get PBI to directly connect to data (meaning files which are stored as QVDs but then converted to CSVs or TXTs files) residing in Qlik sense?

Thank you,

Hey @OrlandoSilva 

There is no native or official connector that allows Power BI to extract data straight from QlikView. However, there are few approaches that organizations follow to perform this action: 

• Export data from QlikView and Import into Power BI  
• Instead of direct integration, you can configure Power BI to connect to the databases of QlikView using OBDC or OLEDB connections. 
• Use third-party integration tools to perform data synchronization 

If you have any queries or need support with integration, Please reach out to me!
