Have you ever opened a dashboard and felt lost, unsure of where to look first? Or needed a quick piece of information, only to find it buried among too many charts and filters that did not work well together? That is exactly what UX, or User Experience, is about. When we talk about dashboards, UX is not just about making them look more attractive. It is about efficiency, clarity, and supporting better decision-making. UX means ensuring that the people using a dashboard can fi

The landscape of data is shifting beneath our feet. For years, the gold standard of business intelligence was the dashboard, a reliable way to visualize what happened in the past. But today, that is no longer enough. The modern professional must engineer systems that predict what will happen and provide answers as to why. AI is no longer a future concept; it is a reality that is here to stay, and those who do not master these tools risk being left behind. Are You AI-Ready? At

Qlik's native Write Back feature is a game-changer, but the 90-day data retention limit can be a major hurdle for enterprise use cases. Don't lose your history! In this post, we share the Incremental Load script needed to bypass this limit.

Hello, Data Explorers! Qlik just released (on the date this video is released) a great new feature for the Analytics platform: Qlik Data Flow. Data Flow is a near-no-code tool that allow data analytics and engineers to prepare data for apps and machine learning in a very easy and powerful way. In this video, Igor Alcantara shows in 5 minutes what this tool can do for you.

This video shows how to use the longitude and latitude of two distinct points to calculate the distance between those two points in kilometers or miles. We use a concept called Haversine Formula. The video demonstrates how to easily implement this solution in a Qlik app. Solution Code // Setting the Haversine Formula parameters // Earth's radius // Use 6371 for Km // Use 3963 for miles Let vEarthRadius = 6371; Let vEarthRadius_miles = 3963; Let vPi = Pi(); // Store Pi value f
