Script Resident Load Issue

Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:47:57 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to load in a script as below but I'm getting a "Field not found" error. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Let vToday = Today();
Let vAYearAgo = Date(AddYears(Today(),-1),'YYYY-MM-DD');
StaffRecord:
LOAD 'Yearly' As [Frequency],
          if(not Status = '',1,0) as EntryExists,
          if(Status = 'Completed',1,0) as Completed,
          if(Status = 'Requested',1,0) as Booked,
          if(Status = 'Did Not Attend',1,0) as DNA,
          if(not Status = 'Requested' and not Status = 'Completed',1,0) as Incomplete,
          [Staff Group],
          [Date]
FROM
[SPREADSHEET.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, header is 1 lines)
where RowNo() < 1000;
DNAReport:
First 3 
LOAD [Staff Group],
          Sum([DNA])  as [TotalDNA]
Resident StaffRecord 
where [Date] > $(#vAYearAgo) and [Date] < $(#vToday)
group by [Staff Group]
order by [TotalDNA] ASC;

Sorry that it's a very specific query, but I think it's my knowledge of the resident load that's causing me problems. That, or the order/group by.

Cheers!

EDIT: I'm now certain it's to do with the order by, as it works without it in. Is there any way to order by the fields, or will I have to do the query on the chart itself to only select the top 3?

The filed TotalDNA does not exist in the table StaffRecord.

In QlikVIew 11 you can set a chart in the layout to show only the top 3.

You can do this by a 2-step approach, first GROUP BY the field, then inner join itself by the ORDER BY ...

DNAReport:

Load [Staff Group], Sum(DNA) as TotalDNA

Resident StaffRecord

group by [Staff Group];

inner join

first 3 load [Staff Group], TotalDNA

resident DNAReport

order by TotalDNA;

Another way is to use an ODBC connection to your excel file where you can group by and order by in one command ...

ODBC CONNECT32 TO [Excel Files;DBQ=StaffGroup.xls];

SQL SELECT top 3 [Staff Group], Sum(DNA) as TotalDNA

FROM `StaffGroup`.`Sheet1$`

group by [Staff Group]

order by Sum(DNA);

first 3 is to load the 3 first rows of this load?

Yes, the "first 3" will bring back the top 3 rows in ascending order of TotalDNA as per the original requirement. When this is inner-joined back to the same table it effectively drops the data not needed.

I'm having the same problem, but in the answer they forgot the filter:

where [Date] > $(#vAYearAgo) and [Date] < $(#vToday).

This is my script:

LOAD `IT_ICODE` as [Codigo de Producto],

`IT_WHCODE` as [Codigo Almacen],

`IT_LOCAL` as Sucursal,

`IT_QTY_SHP` as QtySales;

SQL SELECT *

FROM `C:\USERS\LAURA NU\DOCUMENTS\COMETA\QLIK VIEW\COMETA\DBF`\itransd;

QtyVendida:

load [Codigo de Producto],

sum(QtySales) as QtyVendida2

resident Ventas

where QtySales >0;

And is very important for me to filter with positive values.
