Connect Excel to Qlik

Kondado connects your Excel files to Qlik through a “Via Kondado” connection, so the spreadsheets your team already uses for budgets, targets and controls become data you can explore in dashboards. You paste the address of the file stored on OneDrive or SharePoint, choose the worksheet, and Kondado reads the first filled row as the header, turning each title into a column. From there you select Qlik as the destination and set how often the data should update: every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, hourly, daily, or another schedule that fits your routine. No intermediate databases and no complex setup are needed.

The Spreadsheet (worksheet) pipeline brings each row of your chosen Excel worksheet into Qlik, with the Excel row number and a text column for every header title found in the first filled row. Marketing teams can visualize campaign spend next to lead counts, operations teams can follow stock levels and delivery delays, and finance can compare budget lines with actual results. Putting these views together in Qlik lets you spot variances by month, region or product line and act before the next planning cycle closes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers about visualizing Excel data in Qlik automatically

How do I connect an Excel file from OneDrive or SharePoint to Qlik? ▼
Open the Excel data source on Kondado and paste the address of the workbook stored on OneDrive or SharePoint. Then select the worksheet you want to use and set Qlik as the destination of the Spreadsheet (worksheet) pipeline. The first filled row becomes the header, so each title turns into a column in Qlik.
How often does the Excel data shown in Qlik update? ▼
You choose the update frequency when you configure the pipeline, from every 5 minutes to hourly, daily or another schedule that matches how often your spreadsheet changes. Updates then run on that configurable schedule without anyone opening the file or re-uploading it. If your team reviews numbers weekly, a daily refresh is usually enough, while sales or operations controls may need shorter intervals.
What kind of dashboards can I build with Excel data in Qlik? ▼
Common examples are budget versus actual, sales targets by region, campaign spend against leads, and stock or delivery controls. Because each header title becomes its own column, you can drag fields into Qlik charts and build bar, line, pie or KPI views without reshaping the file. You can also add other data sources from Kondado to the same Qlik app to compare figures side by side.
Which KPIs can I track when I visualize Excel worksheets in Qlik? ▼
Teams usually start with variance to target, month-over-month growth, cost per lead, average ticket, fill rate and on-time delivery. These indicators work well because they come from rows your team already fills in, such as monthly goals, budget lines or order registries. In Qlik you can combine them into a single view and filter by period, region or owner.
Do I need technical help to set up the Excel to Qlik connection? ▼
No. The setup is done in a few clicks: paste the file address, pick the worksheet and choose Qlik as the destination. Kondado normalizes the column names automatically, so the fields you see in Qlik match the titles from the first filled row. Business users in marketing, operations and finance can handle it without writing code.
How do I share Qlik dashboards built from Excel data with my team? ▼
Build your charts in Qlik and publish the app to the colleagues who need it, using the sharing options of your Qlik environment. Since the pipeline keeps the worksheet updated on the schedule you set, everyone opening the dashboard sees the latest available figures. You can also send the same worksheet to Power BI or Looker Studio for teams that prefer those tools.
What happens if my Excel worksheet has blank rows above the titles? ▼
Kondado treats the first filled row as the header, so blank rows at the top are skipped and the title row becomes your column names. Keep one clear title per column so the normalized field names in Qlik stay easy to recognize. If the structure of the worksheet changes, the next scheduled update reflects the new titles.
