SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires ruby, python3, qlik-cli, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex, error-prone process of migrating Qlik Sense or Qlik Cloud applications to Sigma, ensuring data model parity and workbook layout fidelity without manual reconstruction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Translation: Converts Qlik LOAD scripts, master measures, and dimensions into Sigma data models and custom-SQL elements.
  • Layout Fidelity: Maps Qlik sheet cell grids directly onto Sigma's 24-column grid, preserving visual structure and chart placement.
  • Parity Verification: Performs automated freshness preflight, bucket-count parity checks, and visual QA to ensure the migrated workbook matches the source warehouse.

Quick Start

Run the migrate-qlik script with your Qlik app ID and Sigma connection ID to initiate the full discovery, translation, and build pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions about qlik-to-sigma

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate Qlik Sense applications to Sigma automatically?▼

You can automate the Qlik Sense to Sigma migration by running the migrate-qlik script with your Qlik app ID and Sigma connection ID. This translates LOAD scripts and master items into Sigma data models and deploys them via API.

What does Qlik to Sigma data model conversion do with LOAD scripts and master items?▼

Qlik to Sigma data model conversion translates Qlik LOAD scripts, master dimensions, and master measures into Sigma-native data models and custom-SQL elements. This ensures your Qlik data structure is functionally replicated within the Sigma environment without manual reconstruction.

Can I preserve Qlik sheet layouts and visualizations when moving to Sigma?▼

Yes, you can preserve Qlik sheet layouts when moving to Sigma. The migration maps Qlik sheet cell grids directly onto Sigma's 24-column grid, maintaining visual structure, chart placement, and layout fidelity for grid-based visualizations.

Do I need qlik-cli and a Sigma API token to automate Qlik to Sigma migrations?▼

Yes, you need qlik-cli for application discovery and a valid Sigma API token for automated deployment and parity verification. These tools are required dependencies to execute the full discovery, translation, and build pipeline.

How is data model parity verified after a Qlik to Sigma migration?▼

Data model parity is verified after a Qlik to Sigma migration through automated freshness preflight checks, bucket-count parity validation, and visual QA. This ensures the migrated Sigma workbook accurately matches the source data warehouse.
