This recipe requires the legacy mode to be activated. The steps are as follows:

1. To activate the Legacy mode, open the Settings.ini file under C:Users<username>DocumentsQlikSense.
2. Change the value of the StandardReload parameter from 1 to 0.
3. For this recipe, we make use of four Excel files: January.xlsx, February.xlsx, March.xlsx, and April.xlsx. These files are provided with the chapter and can be downloaded from the Packt Publishing website.
4. Save the file January.xlsx under C:QlikSense. If you are not able to write to this location, then you may change the storage location for the file. Note that in this case, you will have to make relevant changes to the file location paths for the load script discussed in the How to do it... section for this recipe.
5. Create another folder named Processed inside the QlikSense folder we created in Step 1. The path for the folder would be C:QlikSenseProcessed.
6. Create a third folder named QVD inside the QlikSense folder created in Step 1. The path for the folder would be C:QlikSenseQVD.
