HI All,

I am supporting on a qlikview application which someone else developed. I see that the qlikview script contain-

-lot of control statements

-subroutines

-variables

-field level conditions etc..etc..

-many table islands in data model

Coming from a non programming background, i struggle to understand the flow of code.

Can anyone suggest me what is the best programming book i can read to overcome the above issues and most importantly how a developer get ideas to build complex qlikview script(using above points) based on the user requirements?

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I read the book. The book contain very few examples on the topics i mentioned above. I am looking for more advance examples. May be any programming book that teaches programming logics that can be used in qlikview script.

I mean control statements, subroutines, transformations etc..etc

Packt has published a book entitled "QlikView Scripting" that you may find helpful. Also, simply checking the QlikView help files is also a good way to learn
