Hi,
I have 2 different mapping files MapA and MapB having the common ID field. I want to merge them into one QV table having the ID as Key, as follows:
NewMap.ID
NewMap.Type = MapA.Type or MapB.Type depending on which of the tables having a value for that field.
I have tried diffrent methods but the one getting close to work (but just close) is.
Load MapA
Load MapB while renaming all the fields to unique names
Give me a MaPA table that is auto concatenated on ID and contains all the fields from MapA and MapB
I then load MaPA into NewMap testing if(isnull(MapA.AType), MapA.Btype, MapA.Atype) as NewMap.Type
The consequences is unfortunately that I get duplicated ID's in NewMap table
Do I need to use the Qualify function or is it other ways to do it.
Thanks
A
Hi,
See if the below logic works for you:
Load MapA from table;
Load MapB from table
where not exist(ID);
and after that remove null from the table

Thanks sushil,
Sorry being a bit new I do not fully follow the logic.
What do you mean by where not exist(ID)?
And how do you remove null from the table?
I might have explained the issue badly.
MapA.ID MapA.Type MapA.SubType
1 Atype null
2 Btype CSubType
3 null DSubType
MapB.ID MapB.Type MapB.SubType
1 null BSubType
3 Btype null
To become
NewMap.ID NewMap.Type NewMap.SubType
1 Atype BsubType
2 Btype CsubType
3 Btype DsubType
