At the moment is not possible to access IBM SPSS data in .sav format using Qlik ODBC connector.
This leaves only two options:
-
Using ODBC connection with DSN: https://community.qlik.com/thread/237431 (client-managed only)
- 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
