Add innovative reporting and business intelligence features to your PowerBuilder applications for free using Qlik Sense Desktop free edition.

1. Add innovative reporting and business intelligence features to your
PowerBuilder applications for free.
I created a small PowerBuilder application using the EASDemo SqlAnywhere database
and data exported from a Datawindow to an Excel file to perform data analysis using the
QlikSense Desktop edition.
QlikSense from QlikTech is a revolutionary BI tool based on the 'associative data model'
(see company website for a complete product
description https://www.qlik.com/us/products/qlik-sense), QlikSense Desktop Edition is the
free version that can be downloaded from Qliktech after a registration.
Using the "on the fly" app creation capability of QlikSense we can show Powerbuilder data
within an html page using controls like: bar chart, pivot table, pie chart, kpi, gauge, linear
table and browse data using advanced QlikSense functions to search, filter, pivoting and
analyze data.
You can choose to use browser navigation using Microsoft Ole Web control inside
PowerBuilder window object or run external browser using ShellExecute windows api.
