Replace data in a table loaded in qvw

Hi,

I am trying to load an Excel file into qlikview table through edit script.

Example:

  [Test]:

Load  * From 

(biff,embedded lables,table is sheet1$);

Actually, there are 50 Columns in the "Test.xlsx". I want to find the character "#" in each of the columns and need to replace with 'null'

I can write the same edit script as

[Test]:

Load

Replace(Field1,'#','') as Field1,

Replace(Field2,"#,'') as Field2,

..

..

..

Replace(Field50,'#','') as Field50

From

(biff,embedded labels,table is sheet1$);

But the problem is, my field names are not fixed and they vary for file to file and thats why i intend to use Load *.

Is there a way to achieve what i am trying to do without mentioning the fieldnames. Thanks in advance.

See here. If you replace the trim function with your replace and change the table name it should work afaict.

Thanks for your help Gysbert. I am able to get the logic and implement it as required.
