Qlik Sense KML File Expression issue?

ishansjain2095 — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 21:38:40 GMT

Hi All,

Facing Issue in my Qlik Sense Hub i.e. not able to map .name col values and .area col values from XML codes shown below:

CODE:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
<Document id="root_doc">
<Schema name="IND_DIST" id="gadm36_IND_2">
<SimpleField name="NAME_0" type="string"></SimpleField>
<SimpleField name="NAME_1" type="string"></SimpleField>
<SimpleField name="NAME_2" type="string"></SimpleField>
</Schema>
<Folder><name>gadm36_IND_2</name>
<Placemark>
<Style><LineStyle><color>ff0000ff</color></LineStyle><PolyStyle><fill>0</fill></PolyStyle></Style>
<ExtendedData><SchemaData schemaUrl="#gadm36_IND_2">
<SimpleData name="NAME_0">India</SimpleData>
<SimpleData name="NAME_1">Andaman and Nicobar</SimpleData>
<SimpleData name="NAME_2">Nicobar Islands</SimpleData>
</SchemaData></ExtendedData>

etc.

And sharing you guys some of my screenshots in zip file.

I have attached the corrected files

The definition for the place in the KML File needs to look like:

<Placemark>
<Style><LineStyle><color>ff0000ff</color></LineStyle><PolyStyle><fill>0</fill></PolyStyle></Style>
<ExtendedData><SchemaData schemaUrl="#india">
<name>Nicobar Islands</name>
</SchemaData></ExtendedData>

If you want the state and country you then create a csv file that looks like :

NAME_0	NAME_1	NAME_2
India	Andaman and Nicobar	Nicobar Islands
India	Andaman and Nicobar	North and Middle Andaman
India	Andaman and Nicobar	South Andaman
India	Andhra Pradesh	Anantapur
India	Andhra Pradesh	Chittoor
India	Andhra Pradesh	East Godavari

and you associate name in the kml file with NAME_2 in the CSV and you end up with

Can you actually manipulate the KML file or do you need to import it as is? The problem is that the name you want to link your area to is in an attribute of the simple data field rather than in a name field itself (which is what you would need).

So, unless you can modify the KML file, you would need to import it first as an XML to extract the name and then join it back to the are coordinates (extracted by importing the file as KML)

Hi Lorenzoconforti,

Can you please share me the xml that you created.

Re: Qlik Sense KML File Expression issue?

lorenzoconforti — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 10:00:50 GMT

I haven't created any XML, just imported your file twice, first as an XML and then as a KML. This is the code in the app

IndiaMaps:
LOAD
'p'&RowNo() as NameID,
SimpleData%Table as NAME_2
FROM [lib://India/IND_DIST.kml] (XmlSimple, Table is [kml/Document/Folder/Placemark/ExtendedData/SchemaData/SimpleData]) where name = 'NAME_2';
Left Join LOAD IND_DIST.Name as NameID,
IND_DIST.Area
FROM
[lib://India/IND_DIST.kml]
(kml);

drop field NameID from IndiaMaps;

Hi.

I use QGIS to import the KML and then use the export function to save it as a CSV

Re: Qlik Sense KML File Expression issue?

ishansjain2095 — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 07:26:36 GMT

Hi Dmoon2208,

I also used QGIS to import the .shp file downloaded from gadm.org and export the function to save it as KML. But now I learnt from you and other guys how to read kml as xml and map chart can also be mapped with csv.

Thank you,

Guys
