How do you unpivot a loaded data table?

[jleefjcapital]

I'm trying to "unpivot" my data table so that I could collapse my fields into a single dimension.   However, when I go to the data manager, the edit icon is not available, and when I click on the generated table, and Qlik tells me that the able is added using the data load script, and can only be viewed in the data model viewer after the data is loaded.

I actually tried this script, but I get the following error message -- I'm not sure what I'm missing.  I'm following some of the previous posts, but I'm guessing it's the structure of my loaded data table.  It would be great if someone could help me.

Thank you,

Jessica

Hi Jessica ,

You are using scripting mode for loading the data and where you are pointing out , that Preparation Data works for non scripting mode i.e drag and drop a file or go to data manager and add file and it will ask for prepare data.

My suggestion is , Please use cross table function to do it . It will solve your case.

Please mark the appropriate replies as CORRECT / HELPFUL so our team and other members know that your question(s) has been answered to your satisfaction.

Try Loading BLS Data using data manager then only you will get unpivot option there.

[vinieme12]

Can you post a sample with dummy data ?

[annapochyla]

Try usin

noconcatenate command before loading BLS_data.

It will look like this:

NoConcatenate

BLS_data:

LOAD ...
