Qlik never markets its ETL(Extract, Transform, Load) capability to transform data from diverse sources of data. This is Qlik’s competitive advantage over Tableau or PowerBI. That said, there are so many scripting concepts a developer has to master to become a good QlikView or Qlik Sense developer. You can be much more creative with Qlik due to its ability to transform data that other tools can’t. On my YouTube channel, I have started a back to basics scripting and visualization tips and tricks video series. Scripting Tips When to use single quotes or double quotes while creating a new field in ..read more

Let’s face it — most of us dread exams or certification tests. Qlik Sense Data Architect certification is one of those tests that many of us want to have, but few of us know how to pass the test successfully. You need knowledge and several years of experience under your belt to pass this test with flying colors. Qlik has done a great job of specifying in detail domain areas that you need to know about to pass the test. However, most Qlik developers consider it daunting to get certified since a wide array of data modeling concepts, and data model challenges require relentless dedication and foc ..read more

I am ceaselessly amazed at the power of Qlik Sense’s Cognitive engine every time I experiment with it. I am sure that if you have worked with Qlik Sense, you are familiar with Insight Advisor. Your silent visualization superhero who keeps suggesting the chart for compelling storytelling. Or, if you have built a master item library, you can type English like statements such as “Admissions by Age Group.” And impress your audience as the Cognitive engine shows relevant charts for it. Can our superhero resolve data model challenges? Absolutely. Watch this video if you want to learn how to re ..read more

Few days ago, I received an email from a blog subscriber with an interesting conundrum he is dealing with. “I am trying to subset data to find all customers who purchased in each of these years (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019). Basically, the customer would have made at least one purchase in each consecutive year, and did not have gaps in those years. These would be considered good customers because they have been buying from us every year since 2015” — Scott I am sure Scott is not the only one who has to deal with this dilemma. I try to dabble with question like this by creating a brand new Q ..read more

In 2008, Chris Anderson coined the term “The Long Tail” and wrote a book on this phenomenon. Ten years later, long tail is omnipresent in every aspect of our lives including the way we learn and master new skills. There are multiple forces at play and we at Analytics Hub believe that these forces will play a crucial role in our success as a company. Democratizing knowledge: With our academy, we want to democratize Qlik knowledge by providing project-based training that enhances Qlik skill for our students.
