creating a loop

Anonymous — Tue, 03 Sep 2013 09:21:24 GMT

Hi Guys,

I've read Henric's blog regarding loops.

And I have being trying to accomplish what he is doing.

However I keep getting a error file that Qlikview can't find the file. L:\hrm_201206.qvd'

Which is correct because the file is not stored on that location. I used the Directory function, but even that didn't work.

FileListTable:

LOAD

PersonID,

FileName() as FileName,

Contractnumber

FROM

(qvd);

For vFileNo = 1 to NoOfRows('FileListTable')

Let vFileName = Peek('FileName',vFileNo-1,FileListTable);

Load *,

'$(vFileName)' as FileNames

From [$(vFileName)];

Next vFileNo

Let vFileName= null();

What is it that i'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Not sure if I understand, have you tried FilePath() instead?

Hi Stefan,

That doesn't work.

Basically I would like to achieve the below using my own files:

The most common case is that you have several files with the same structure, e.g. log files, and you want to load all of them:

For each vFileName in Filelist ('C:\Path\*.txt')

Load *,

'$(vFileName)' as FileName

From [$(vFileName)];

Next vFileName

I have attached my script and some dummy data.

Regards,

iSam

sorry for got to attach the file. Can anyone have a look?
