How to load only a section of .csv file

Hi,

my goal is to load a "," delimited file ( see test file attached ) removing the first line "Summary" , reading the file then removing the "Daily Usage" section

It's possible?

Thank you

Enrico

You could try something like this:

First 1 LOAD * FROM [..\Test_partial_read.csv]

(txt, utf8, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', header is 4 lines);

It works! Thank you!

But ...

There is a complication. This is a test file, but in production I' have a directory with a lot of similar file , with a section of "summary" that I'have to read and a section of "daily" that I' have not to read.

My goal is to read the files stored in the directory (all) and load in QlikView only the section "summary" of every file.

I' don't know the name of every file, only the directory.

To test, I attach 3 file

Thank's again

Now, another question, if you can help me.

In the same test situation, my customer ask me to read the section "daily usage" to ceck the total value in the section "summary".

So I can show a section "detail" of the summary.

Thank you
