I require qliksense
to create an Excel file when the user selects a set of tuples and R
to automatically pick up this file, perform my script on the file. My script then creates another CSV file which I then want qliksense to automatically pick up and perform some predefined operations on it. Is there any way I can link the two of these software together in such a manner?
So to clarify the flowchart is: Qlik gets a large data set -> the user selects a set of rows and creates csv -> My custom R script (picks up this csv automatically) is run on the csv and creates a new csv -> qlik picks it up (automatically) and visually displays the results of the program
Is there any kind of wrapper software to tie them together? Or is it a better idea to perhaps just make some sort of UI that works with R in the background and the user can manually pass the file through the UI? Thanks for the help.

Check out the R extension that has been developed on http://branch.Qlik.com , extensions are being created and added all the time. You will probably need to create an account to access the project but once you have the direct link is below.
