Reporting (DAR) methodology to creating and building of QlikView applications. This way you
can reuse your earlier QlikView Worksheets with minimal changes thus saving you time and
effort. You will have hands-on experience in designing the Dashboard, creating Analysis Page
and ultimately develop the QlikView Reports with DAR implementation. You will learn about the
business overview, deploying user-driven controls for data filters and reporting of specific details
in this QlikView Dashboard project.
Highlight :

 Getting high level overview with dashboard


 Deploying QlikView analytics
 Designing QlikView Reports.
