Strange issue

Tue, 17 Sep 2013 18:05:04 GMT

This is the second time this week I ran into this and I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or if it is a strange quirk that I have run into.

(I am not great at coding so I am sure there is a different way to do this)

I have three referrals tables and they each build off the previous one. Referrals2 creates a flag using the full load in the Resident table called Referrals.

Referrals3 is just a check point I built for myself to validate the total number of 'good' records.

When I hit run QlikView is loading Referrals2 twice(see Referrals Progress attachment)

Any Ideas?

Hi Katie,

You have said Load * for Referrals3. Means the column names are same and this is concatenating with Referrals 2.

By default QlikView is joining the columns that have same names.

Try Noconcatenate immediatly after referrals3.

thanks,

Very interesting...

Could you show me a sample of the syntax so I don't screw it up?!

THanks

Hi Katie,

Include the word noconcatenate as shown below.

Referrals3:

noconcatenate

load * resident Referrals2

thanks,
