Storing results of formulas into qvd files

Hi,

I don't know if this can be done at all: I would like to store the most important figures calculated in a document into qvd files (just one result per day) so I can build a new management-superstructure loading those qvd files and just displaying them in a gauge or something.

Can I write such a command into the script? If so, what do I have to keep in mind doing that? The first time I tried, I typed like

>>  STORE sum(Actual - Goal) into QVD\Res_shipped.qvd;  <<

QlikView did recognize the fieldnames (they went reddish), but then it said "FROM wrong" - but I was not building a LOAD statement? I don't think I can reference the formula names, QlikView never seems to recognize those?

Can anyone lend me a hand here?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

The store command can only store fields from tables or entire tables in qvds. So you need to add the results to a table first with a load statement and then store the table.

How this can store in Qlikview you need to store actual and goal as different fields and after loading data you need perform calculations in qvw.

Hi F,

You need to store a table in the QVD file, not a formula. You need to do something like this:

yourTable:

Load

sum(Actual - Goal) as yourField

Resident anotherTable;

STORE yourTable into YourQVDFile.qvd (qvd);

I hope this helps.

Hi,

yes, this helps. So I will add a LOAD statement and load the result of a formula as a field. Then I actually need two fields to make up my "table" that I can store into a qvd: A date and a calculated value.

That will get me started.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

is there a difference between variables defined in the script and variables defined via the variable_overview_window?

I am trying to build a LOAD statement in a RESIDENT LOAD from the main table, but only containing one "field", that is a variable

What I am currently trying is

Erg_Schaeden:

LOAD

          (Ziel_Jahr - sum(Schaeden)) / (round(YearEnd(TODAY()) - TODAY())) as Tagesgrenze_Zuk

RESIDENT Schadensfaelle;

I keep getting an error "Invalid expression".

Is there something I cannot do in the script?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
