loading data in QlikView

Hi All,

I have some data that I need to transform during load, is there an easy way to achieve this in Qlik?

My data looks like this:

Date	Amount
31/10/2011
30/11/2011
31/12/2011
16/01/2012	38,008.35
31/01/2012
29/02/2012
31/03/2012
16/04/2012	36,417.00

Where the amount is null for the date, I want to populate it with the next future amount, like this:

Date	Amount
31/10/2011	38,008.35
30/11/2011	38,008.35
31/12/2011	38,008.35
16/01/2012	38,008.35
31/01/2012	36,417.00
29/02/2012	36,417.00
31/03/2012	36,417.00
16/04/2012	36,417.00

I thought about intervalmatch but haven't been able to get the results I'm after.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Phil

Hi,

use the table wizard and select your table.

Then follow the steps documented in the screenshots (see the attached ZIP file).

Good Luck!

check the attach example

it uses the load script to fill the data

Thanks Rainer, very helpful I had no idea Qlik could do that!

It did do something odd though with filling column headers where the first couple of rows were blank. Though I could work round that by specifying the first row as a header line.

Thanks again, Phil.

Thanks Liron, it's a neat solution to put that in the script.

Kind Regards,
