Thousands of Qlik Developers use my QViewer QVD Viewer tool every day to browse inside QVD files.  Sometimes you want to do more than browse. I get questions like

• Can I sort the rows?
• I want to sum field x grouped by field y. Can I do that?
• Can I get a histogram of field values?

The answer to all of the above — and more — is Yes!  When you install the free Easymorph Data Prep and ETL tool, you can use the powerful features of Easymorph like an extension to QViewer.  With Easymorph you can sort, query, transform and profile your QVD data.

When viewing a QVD, press the button on the menu bar. The current QVD will open seamlessly in Easymorph.  If Easymorph is not yet installed you will be taken to a webpage with download and install instructions.

You can also open Easymorph by right-clicking a QVD from QViewer folder view.

The QVD will open in Easymorph and you can then use all of Easymorph’s powerful features with your QVD.

Easymorph has plenty of help and an active Community to help you get started.  I’ve also prepared a couple of Help articles in QViewer showing some typical QViewer/Easymorph  tasks.
