add new column

Hi, i'm new to qlikview, i try to create a new column as a concatenation of two strings present in my table.

I load the table from a db Access as

[ code ]

select * from table

[ /code ]

and i create the new column with [ code ] LOAD value, concat(<field>, ', ') AS field_list FROM <table> GROUP BY value; [ /code ] but it doesn't work, the error refers to the table that it indicated as missing.

thanks

Hello!

If you want to combine two fields then try & or + sign as per your requirement.


LOAD
Month,
Year,
Month&'-'&Year as MnYr
FROM Sales;


Concatenation is an operation that uses two tables and combines them into one. refer Help:

tab1:

Load * from file1.csv;

tab2:

load * from file2.csv;

.. .. ..

Concatenate (tab1) load * from file3.csv;

Thanks,

I use the SQL code:

I load each field ( not with *) and add the new field with '&' to concatenate.
