Migrate with Confidence: Australia's Qlik to Power BI Specialists
QlikView 12.100 reaches end of support on 30 September 2027, and the product already sits in maintenance mode - so moving off Qlik is a question of when, not if, and 2026 is the planning window. Report Simple is Australia's specialist Qlik to Power BI migration partner. We assess your Qlik estate in as little as a day, then translate the associative model and set-analysis logic that makes Qlik tick into a clean star schema and DAX in Power BI. For Microsoft-aligned IT directors, the move also cuts licensing cost sharply. You exit a sunsetting platform for a modern, better-value one without losing the logic your reports depend on.
Beat 2027 Deadline
QlikView support ends 30 September 2027, and we plan and execute your migration well ahead of it, so business-critical reporting never runs on an unsupported, unpatched platform.
Lower Licensing Cost
Power BI typically costs a fraction of Qlik's per-user licensing at scale and is often already in your Microsoft 365 agreement, so migration frequently pays back through licensing savings alone.
Logic Preserved
Your set-analysis expressions are translated into DAX and validated number for number against the originals, so the calculations your users trust survive the move to Power BI intact.
Faster Data Models
We re-engineer Qlik's associative model into a proper star schema rather than copying it across, so the migrated reports run faster and your team can actually maintain and extend them.
Bigger Talent Pool
Power BI has a far larger local talent pool than Qlik, so once you migrate, hiring, support and ongoing development become easier and cheaper than maintaining niche Qlik skills.

Our Qlik to Power BI Migration Services
Qlik Estate Assessment
Know exactly what you are moving in a day, not a month. We rapidly assess your QlikView and Qlik Sense estate - apps, data models, set-analysis expressions, scripts and user base - and classify what to migrate, rebuild or retire. You receive a fixed-fee assessment with a translation plan, effort estimate and a licensing cost comparison, so the business case and the migration roadmap land on the same page before any work begins.
Associative Model to Star Schema
Translate Qlik's logic into Power BI the right way. Qlik's associative model and QVD data layer do not map one-to-one onto Power BI, so we re-engineer them into a clean star schema that Power BI is built for. Done well, this is an upgrade: better performance, clearer relationships and a model your team can extend. We preserve the business logic while fixing the structural shortcuts that built up over years of Qlik development.
Set Analysis to DAX Conversion
Rebuild your Qlik calculations as trustworthy DAX. The set-analysis expressions at the heart of your Qlik apps are translated into equivalent DAX measures, validated against the original outputs number for number. Complex selections, alternate states and aggregations are reproduced so users see the same answers they trust today. Your reporting logic survives the move intact, now in a language with a far larger talent pool behind it.
Dashboard Rebuild & Validation
Recreate your Qlik apps as polished Power BI reports. We rebuild your dashboards in Power BI, matching the layouts and interactions your users rely on while taking the chance to modernise where it helps. Every report is validated side by side against its Qlik original so the numbers reconcile before anyone switches over. Users get familiar reporting on a new platform, not a jarring relearn.
Licensing Cost Comparison & Cutover
Make the financial case as clear as the technical one. We model your current Qlik per-user costs against Power BI licensing at your scale, so the savings are quantified for your IT director and finance team. Once reports are validated we manage the cutover and decommission Qlik cleanly. You land on a modern platform with a lower, more predictable licensing bill and the migration fully proven.

Our Proven Qlik to Power BI Migration Process
Our senior specialists assess your Qlik estate, translate its logic into Power BI, and prove every number before cutover.
1
One-Day Estate Assessment
We assess your QlikView and Qlik Sense estate, often in a single day - the apps, data models, set-analysis logic and user base - and classify what to migrate, rebuild or retire. You receive a fixed-fee plan with a translation approach, effort estimate and a Qlik-versus-Power BI licensing comparison, so the business case is clear before migration starts.
Model & Logic Translation
2
We re-engineer Qlik's associative model into a clean Power BI star schema and translate set-analysis expressions into validated DAX measures. Dashboards are rebuilt to match what your users know, and every figure is checked against its Qlik original. Translating the logic properly, rather than copying it, is what makes the migrated reports faster and easier to maintain.
Validation & Cutover
3
We run the new Power BI reports in parallel with Qlik so the business trusts the numbers, then manage cutover and decommission the Qlik environment. Your team receives handover, documentation and training, and we stay available to optimise and extend. You leave a sunsetting platform behind with reporting proven and licensing cost reduced.
Qlik to Power BI Migration FAQs
How much does a Qlik to Power BI migration cost, and will it save on licensing?
We quote every Qlik migration as a fixed price after a short estate assessment, rather than open-ended day rates. The cost depends mainly on the number of apps and the complexity of your set-analysis logic. Most Microsoft-aligned organisations also find Power BI costs far less to licence than Qlik at scale, so the move often pays back through licensing savings. Specialist Australian consultants are around $200 to $250 or more per hour for ad-hoc work.
For how we structure pricing, see our Power BI pricing page.
When does QlikView reach end of support?
QlikView 12.100 reaches end of support on 30 September 2027, and QlikView is already in maintenance mode with no new feature development. After end of support there are no security patches or fixes, which most IT and risk teams will not accept for business-critical reporting. With migrations taking months to plan and execute properly, 2026 is the sensible window to start rather than scrambling close to the deadline.
Can you migrate Qlik Sense as well as QlikView?
Yes - we migrate both QlikView and Qlik Sense to Power BI, including the associative data models, set-analysis logic and dashboards in each. Qlik Sense apps translate using the same methodology: re-engineer the model into a star schema, convert expressions to DAX, and rebuild the visuals in Power BI. Whether you run one product or both side by side, we assess the full estate and migrate it on a single coherent plan.
How do you translate Qlik's associative model into Power BI?
We re-engineer Qlik's associative model and QVD layer into a Power BI star schema, then convert set-analysis expressions into DAX measures validated against the originals. Qlik and Power BI work differently under the hood, so a faithful migration is a translation, not a copy. Done properly it improves performance and maintainability rather than carrying old structural shortcuts across, and every number is reconciled before cutover.
Why move from Qlik to Power BI specifically?
For Microsoft-aligned organisations, Power BI is the natural destination: lower licensing cost, deep integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure, and a far larger local talent pool than Qlik. You consolidate reporting onto a platform your business is likely already paying for, with strong governance and a clear roadmap. Migration is also the moment to clean up the model debt that accumulated in Qlik over the years.
