Hi,

Yes you can try with cross table i provide you the load script part for the same check the load script. First load cross table and then load the resident table and then extract the Yearfield and Quarted field from the list. And do not load the Year part that is year column 2012, 2013 and 2014 and create SET expression in the front end for this calculation.

T1:
CrossTable(Dates, Data, 4)
LOAD Country,
Product,
Sector,
Units,
[Q1'12],
[Q2'12],
[3Q'12],
[4Q'12],
[2012],
[Q1'13],
[Q2'13],
[3Q'13],
[4Q'13],
[2013],
[Q1'14],
[Q2'14]
FROM
[Dummy File.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet2);

NoConcatenate
T2:
LOAD * Resident T1;
DROP Table T1;

Final:
LOAD
if( IsNum(Left(Dates,2)),1,0) as Flag,
Date(Date#(Right(Dates,2),'YY'),'YYYY') as YearField,
Left(Dates,2) as QtrField,
*
Resident T2
Where Not IsNum(Left(Dates,2));
DROP Table T2;

And in load script use Where Not IsNum(Left(Dates,2)); for not load the year columns.

Anand

Hey Anand,

I followed your given script. Please find the result attached. In result, i am getting 2022 and 2031 in the yearfield but these are not in the original file. Also, there is one more category which u can see in dummy file "LTM" for which i need different field, so plz guide for the extended script. I have attached the updated dummy file for the refrence.

Thanks and Regards,

Akshay
