Straight Table Issue?

NickHoff — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 20:15:03 GMT

I'm new to Qlikview and I've been beating my head against this issue for the past week. I have two tables one of them a master calendar generated from a script. The other has implementation date and 20 columns of fiscal year total from FY2000-FY2020.

I build my two tables with the following and create the associate between the two tables by creating an alias of Date for Implementation Date and CalendarDate. When I push Ctrl + t I see the association between the two tables, but when I create my straight table with an expression to sum my fiscal periods there is no functionality with the calendar table (meaning when I select CalendarYear or CalendarMonthName the straight table isn't affected.... Why is this?:

Double check in both your tables that the Date field is really a true QlikView date field.

It is most likely to be adrift in your Fact Table.

If it's not really a true QlikView date field what are my options to join the two date fields? There are several variances in the formatting of the date and some don't have a date they'll have character strings in it such as varries, varry, ect...

My Date field in the calendar table is formatted as the following: 36526 for 1/1/2000, 36527 for 1/2/2000. The Date in the Fact table is formatted as 1/1/2000 or 1/01/2000, or 01/01/2000.

There are loads of ways in QlikView of massaging dodgy data into true dates, which one ~~to use depends on the variety of dodginess.~~

Could you load your dates as is into a qvw and post them ? Or just paste them into a reply as text ?

format the date in your fact table as follows.....

date( subfield(OldDate,'/',3') & '-' & subfield(OldDate,'/',1') & '-' & subfield(OldDate,'/',2') ) as NewDate

Just add to top....

Don't forget to comment out the old Date field.

Also, your data is dirty, so values like "vary" and "varies" will obviously not convert.
