Splitting memo field into different lines in qlikview?

Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:38:33 GMT

Hi all,

I have the following fields in my database:

ID History (memo datatype in access db)

43204000	02/01/2006 09:05 J1 Inquiry Received 12/01/2006 13:13 J1 Pricing Completed 12/01/2006 13:13 J1 Quotation Produced - Ref XXXXX
43205000	02/01/2006 09:07 J1 Inquiry Received 07/01/2006 10:28 J1 Pricing Completed 07/01/2006 10:29 J1 Quotation Produced - Ref XXXXXX 05/02/2006 18:19 SU Order Received 06/03/2006 09:38 JL Shipment Recorded #12470

I want to extract the dates for each status of order in the History for every ID on load.

I tired a lot to split using trim, subfield and chr(13) but it doesnot seem to work.

It would be great if anyone could help me out.Thanks a lot in advance.

Subfield should work. What happens if you do a

Load *,

Subfield(History,chr(10)) as SubHistory,

index(History,chr(10)),

index(History,chr(13));

SQL SELECT

ID,

History

FROM <TableName>;
