Acknowledgments
First, we would like to thank the wonderful team of professionals at Qlik for creating and bringing to market a phenomenal tool worth writing about. We thank Lars Björk, Qlik’s CEO, for leading the troops and for writing the foreword for this book.
Special thanks to Henric Cronström, Rob Wunderlich, Phil Bishop, and Elif Tutuk, for their valuable input and contributions to the content of the book.
There were a number of people who made this book possible, including Robert Elliot, who approached us about writing the book, and Tom Dinse and others from Wiley who helped shepherd us through the process.
Other well-deserved thanks go to Victorya Slobodetsky, who created most of the electronic content for the book, and to Andrey Konoplyastyy, who developed an elaborate data-generating tool in order to create the data set used in the book.
We’d like to thank all of the QlikView professionals whose questions, issues, and suggestions helped us sharpen our knowledge and ultimately express it in this book. We hope you enjoy the book as much as we do.
I dedicate this book to my beloved family—my parents, my wife Rimma, and our children, Victorya and Eitan, who are both beginning QlikView professionals.

I dedicate this book to my mom, Georgia. She would have been so proud despite not understanding one single word of this book. To my wife, Dayene, and my sons, Cash and Bodhi—thank you for your love, encouragement, and endless patience.
