QlikView accepts Excel spreadsheet for data analysis by simple drag and drop action. You need to open the QlikView main window and drag and drop the excel file into the interface. It will automatically create the sheet showing the excel data.

Select the Excel file

Keep the main window of QlikView open and browse for the excel file you want to use.

Select a Data Source

On dropping the excel file into the main window, the File wizard appears. The File Type is already chosen as Excel. Under Labels, choose Embedded Labels. Click “Next step” to proceed.

Load Script

The Load script appears which shows the command that loads the data into the QlikView document. This command can be edited.

Now, the Excel wizard prompts to save the file in the form of *.qvw file extension. It asks to select a location where you need to save the file. Click “Next step” to proceed. Now it is time to see the data that is loaded from the Excel file. We use a Table Box sheet object to display this data.

Create Table Box

The Table Box is a sheet object to display the available data as a table. It is invoked from the menu Layout → New Sheet Object → Table Box.
