Hi,

The big difference is that in Qlik Sense you always load data from a library. If you want to load data from a file in a specific folder, you should first create a library linking to that folder and then load the data (I have a library named test containing a file named test):

LOAD
*
FROM [lib://Test/test.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

In Qlikview, you could just load the data by referencing the filename (assuming the file is in the same folder as the .qvw file):

Test:
LOAD *
FROM
[test.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

As far as I know there are no other major differences between Qlikview script and Qlik Sense script

Greetings,

Tim Wensink

Thanks a lot explaining me this.

Others: Please let me know if you have noticed any other differences. It will be easy for me to learn it as we don't have the license in my organization.
