Sample Data

Hello All,

Hope all of you are doing good. As said in my earlier post, I would like to consolidate all my learning in one place w.r.t. Qlik. So if you have missed the previous post on "Shortcuts in Qlik", please go ahead and have a look.

In this blog, we will be looking ate some tricks to create sample data in Qlik. For POC purpose like to check some functionalities in Qlik, usually we enter dummy data in excel and then load that file in the application which is somewhat a tedious task. Or we create a LOAD script for same. But why to create your own when Qlik can create it for you. Sounds interesting, so here we go...

Open Qlik > Edit Script (Script Editor in QlikSense) use the following hot keys and reload the application to generate the sample data.

·         For QlikView : CTRL+Q+Q

·         For QlikSense : CTRL+0+0

That's it...!!

Your new data model with sample data is ready -

Hope this article helps you. Please let me know your inputs on same for any suggestions or feedback.

Stay tuned for another tip...!!!
