In the last few weeks I have dedicated quite a lot of time to extension development in QlikView. Doing so I have certainly reviewed existing extensions to get new ideas and study existing code. Unfortunately there is no central repository available where you can find all extensions.
So I thought it would be helpful to share my collection of existing extensions.
QlikView Object Extensions
- Business Related Extensions
- Charting Extensions
- Data Formatting Extensions (Grid, Html, etc.)
- Data Processing/Manipulation Extensions
- Social Media Extension
- Other Extensions
Document extensions and GeoAnalytics-extensions will be covered in another upcoming article.
