Skipping Lines when loading data

Tue, 22 May 2012 09:02:07 GMT

Is there a way to skip particular lines when loading data? Eg. I have an excel file that is generated on a daily basis. However one of the fields has both numeric data and not. I am interested in Qlikview to load only the numeric ones. So programmatically I would check if the field is numeric, if false I would skip to next line. But I don't know how to do this in Qlikview. Any help would be much appreciated.

regards,

Roberto

Just add a simple WHERE clause to your load statement. For example:

Data:

LOAD

FROM

[Yourfile.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Houses...)

WHERE IsNum(YourField);

This will only load rows where the value of field YourField is numeric.

Hope this helps,

Jason
