The process of fetching the data from various source databases for further transformation and utilization in development of dashboard is the Data Extraction Process for Qlik Sense projects.

Data extraction is the starting step towards building the Qlik Sense dashboards. This process involves fetching the data from one or more databases, and merging and transforming them in such a way that it can be visualized graphically and an analysis can be done on that.

Qlik Sense uses the Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process to prepare the data for dashboard usage. Let us have a detailed look at the ETL process.
