Hi @SusanEmelia, welcome to the community,
Its been a couple of weeks since you posted this, how has your transition been so far?
I can use all three tools fairly well, although my strongest skill lies with Tableau. Are you conversation in Tableau? I can help you out with some parts of your transition. I'm also a Tableau community ambassador, so have dropped a message to the Tableau ambassadors & Visionaries internal group, just to see if any of the others are also able to help out.
Here are a couple of pointers that might help get you on your way:
Pay particular attention to the set analysis section, as set analysis forms the "bread-and-butter" of Qlik. Set analysis calculations can initially appear quite daunting and/or complex, especially as Tableau calcs are fairly straightforward, but set analysis expressions are very similar, and have a similar syntax to level-of-detail expressions.
And once you understand this, much of Qlik becomes soo much more easier.
Next up, data load. You can perform quite complex transforms here - I do much to the chagrin of most Qlik users as it is usual to use the script editor as a simple load tool, with enrichment taking place within the Qlik modeller, but a basic knowledge of SQL select statements shall be your friend here too.
If you are stuck, you could easily open your Tableau data model, and on the canvas, right mouse select each object and choose "Convert to Custom SQL":
As once you have the Custom SQL for each of the objects, you can simply copy/paste to your Qlik load script to reload each of the objects to your new Qlik model
