Hi Lee,

I just went through your issue. I discovered that you need to declare the POST variable in the xmlhttp.send() command like this:

xmlhttp.send(“sXML=” + sXML)

Sorry I can’t remember the exact term but it has to do with the way Qlikview sends the request. I know it seems redundant but it worked for me.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Hi There

Great Blog! I am trying to create a QlikView write back example using macros to convert a tablebox to XML and submit it to a bit of classic ASP for processing (an old fashioned AJAX approach). It sounds like you have done quite a boit of this before. My simple macro for submitting the XML is below, but it seems to be stalling at the line that begins with “xmlhttp.open “. Have you done something like this before? Any idea what i might have wrong? (Thanks for any help you can offer).

sub webService(sXML, sTableID)
‘set this variable to correct URL where ASP page is located
xmlurl = “http://localhost/qlikviewdataupdate.asp”
‘Create xmlhttp opject and submit
Set xmlhttp = CreateObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”)
xmlhttp.open “POST”, xmlurl, false
xmlhttp.send(sXML)
‘now get the results from processing
sResult = xmlhttp.responseText
msgbox(sResult)
end sub

Comment on Where Have The QlikView Bloggers Gone? by Jay Jakosky

Since QlikTech stopped linking to a blogroll, readership has declined. An awful lot of blogs that emerged since QV 10 have stopped adding new posts. It’s too bad because, in my view of things, there’s a lot of interesting features coming up and some really neat work being done.

Hi Jay. I wonder how the graph would look now. Also, a graph on the discussion level in the Qlikview community? Just doesn’t seem as busy over the last while. Might be interesting? Maybe it’s just me.

Jay – I got hold of your blog by searching about Dr Henric Cronstrom. And I am glad I have got hold of your blog. You are doing fantastic job and so far all of your posts are helping to learn something new.

I am curious to know if these new features works only with Ajax Client or do they also work with IE? Also, if a user adds an objects by using the repository…I am assuming they are not just saved to his login account. Is this right? And it will be great if you can write a post on QV 11 integrating HTML5.

I’ll look forward to hear from you.

Thanks in anticipation.

Cheers – DV

Comment on Bullets from Few Rendered in QlikView by Brian S

QV did replicate Few’s Bullet Graph, but to do so requires much customization. While it looks pretty in a demo, it is highly impractical creating these in a real work situation. It is hard to believe QV hasn’t created this graph type by now.

Thank you. I have had a lot of trouble with the code format plugin. Please use the new download link. I added a ZIP file with the correct code.

Hello,

I was trying your script but it doesn’t work, the number 1 on line 30 gives error.

I’ve tried to remove but the $requestKey never gets a value.

Thank you very much,

Pedro
