At the moment is not possible to access IBM SPSS data in .sav format using Qlik ODBC connector.

This leaves only two options:

1. Using ODBC connection with DSN: https://community.qlik.com/thread/237431 (client-managed only)

2. Transfer/convert .SAV to .CSV first: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15150586/how-to-open-spss-data-files-in-excel (client-managed and SaaS)

Without the metadata, needing to convert data through CSV is a lot of extra work. So it would be preferable to have native support for IBM SPSS data in .sav format

Hi Daniele,

Thank you for your suggestion to add support for this format. While this is something that could be useful, we currently do not plan to address this on the roadmap. We will continue to re-evaluate the priorities to see if this can fit in sometime in the future.
