HTML to Qlik Converter

About HTML to Qlik Converter

The HTML to Qlik converter lets you quickly convert HTML tables and page content into Qlik Sense load script. It generates ready-to-use INLINE LOAD statements that you can paste directly into Qlik Sense or QlikView to build dashboards from HTML report data, web tables, and email reports without manual re-typing.

Key Features & Benefits

• Automatic table extraction: Detects and converts HTML <table> elements with headers and rows.
• INLINE LOAD generation: Builds clean Qlik LOAD * INLINE blocks ready for the data load editor.
• Qlik-friendly field names: Sanitizes header text so fields work smoothly in Qlik charts and set analysis.
• Smart type detection: Automatically detects numbers and dates so measures aggregate correctly.
• Multiple table support: Handles pages with several tables, creating one Qlik table per HTML table.
• Optional attribute extraction: Include HTML attributes (class, id, data-* attributes) as separate fields for advanced analysis.
• Safe escaping: Escapes quotes, commas and special characters to avoid script errors in Qlik Sense.

How to Use This HTML to Qlik Tool

1. Paste or upload HTML: Paste HTML code from a web page, report, or email, or upload an .html file.
2. Set table name: Choose a meaningful Qlik table name such as SalesData or WebReport.
3. Choose options: Decide whether to extract only tables, include attributes, and auto-detect data types.
4. Review the Qlik load script: The tool auto-generates the Qlik Sense INLINE LOAD script as you type.
5. Copy to Qlik: Use the Copy or Download button, then paste the script into the Qlik Sense data load editor and reload.

Example: HTML Table to Qlik INLINE LOAD

Sample HTML table:

<table>
  <tr><th>Region</th><th>Product</th><th>Sales</th></tr>
  <tr><td>North</td><td>Widget A</td><td>150</td></tr>
  <tr><td>South</td><td>Widget B</td><td>200</td></tr>
</table>

Generated Qlik Sense load script:

SalesData:
LOAD * INLINE [
Region, Product, Sales
"North", "Widget A", 150
"South", "Widget B", 200
] (delimiter is ',');

You can now use Region, Product and Sales as fields in Qlik Sense charts, KPIs, and QlikView visualizations.

Qlik Sense / QlikView Integration

To use the generated HTML to Qlik script:

1. Open your Qlik Sense app or QlikView document.
2. Go to the Data load editor (Load Script in QlikView).
3. Create a new section or choose an existing one for the HTML data.
4. Paste the generated LOAD * INLINE script.
5. Click Load data / Reload to import the table.
6. Build sheets, charts, and dashboards using the newly loaded fields.

Popular Use Cases for HTML to Qlik

• Web analytics: Import HTML dashboards or analytics tables into Qlik Sense for deeper analysis.
• Email reports: Extract HTML email report tables (sales, marketing, finance) into Qlik.
• Legacy reporting: Convert legacy HTML reports into modern Qlik data models.
• Prototyping: Quickly test Qlik visualizations with sample HTML data without building ETL pipelines.
• Documentation data: Turn documentation tables into Qlik data for quality or usage analysis.

Best Practices for Clean Qlik Load Scripts

• Use clean HTML tables: Ensure your HTML has clear <thead> and <tbody> sections with descriptive headers.
• Choose descriptive table names: Names like SalesByRegion or InventorySnapshot make Qlik scripts easier to maintain.
• Enable auto type detection: Let the tool detect numeric and date fields so Qlik aggregations work correctly.
• Review field names: Avoid duplicates and overly long names to keep the Qlik model tidy.
• Start with small samples: Test your HTML to Qlik conversion with a small table before scaling up.

Advanced HTML to Qlik Options

• Multiple tables per page: Each HTML table becomes a separate Qlik INLINE LOAD section with a suffix (e.g., HtmlData_1, HtmlData_2).
• Attribute extraction: Turn attributes like data-region or class into Qlik fields for advanced segmentation.
• Content extraction when no tables exist: Convert headings, paragraphs and list items into structured rows you can still analyze in Qlik.
• Automatic field sanitization: Removes spaces and unsupported characters from Qlik field names.

FAQ – HTML to Qlik Converter

• Does this tool support Qlik Sense and QlikView?

  Yes. The generated LOAD * INLINE script works in both Qlik Sense and QlikView. You simply paste it into the appropriate load script editor.

• What kind of HTML can I convert?

  Any HTML that contains tables or textual content: web pages, exported HTML reports, HTML email content, or locally saved .html files.

• Is my HTML data uploaded to a server?

  No. All HTML to Qlik conversions happen locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device, which is ideal for confidential reports.

• How big can the HTML table be?

  For performance and readability, extremely large tables may become harder to manage in INLINE LOAD blocks. For very large datasets, consider using this tool for prototyping and then building a direct data connection in Qlik.

• Can I edit the Qlik script after generation?

  Absolutely. The output is plain Qlik script, so you can rename fields, add transformations, or join it with other Qlik tables as needed.

Privacy & Security

All HTML to Qlik conversions run entirely in your browser. Your HTML, Qlik load scripts, and report data are not sent to any server, providing maximum privacy for sensitive business information.
