Alteryx only supports to read/write QVX files. For many Qlik users, it prefers to use QVD instead of QVX because of the benefits to have a smaller file size and also enjoy the optimized load. For fun, I have tried to build custom tools to read and write QVD. Currently, the tools are in trial purposes and only tackle a single file.

It reads QVD data into Alteryx memory.

Perfect, thank you so much for the help. I tested the functionality for reading QVD and fields of type date does not read, is null. to write the file and try to load in Qlik Sense, gives error also "Symbol table inconsistency". Is there any configuration to be done for the correct use of this extension?

can you provide the flow and data for a look?  As mentioned, this is just a prototype and a process of reverse engineering.  There might be flaws.  But I would be happy to see if it can be fixed
