Regarding the statistics portion of your comment, QlikView has built in functions in the load script for chi squared, t and z tests (including confidence intervals), linear regression, least squares, residuals, r squared, F statistic, etc. It doesn't offer the breadth that you may get from SAS or R (especially with R's CRAN packages), but it should be sufficient for dashboard level reporting.

Can it do histograms easily? I never needed to use it to do this but I had a friend who wanted to use it for this and the process was rather horendous.

Anyone know when the next version of Qlikview is being released? Or is it going to be Qliksense all the way now?

Yes, QlikView can do histograms easily. They're basically bar charts where the expression is counted, not summed, with the width between bars set to zero. They're not labeled as histograms in QlikView, which may be why there was some confusion.
