Cleaning up unused Columns?

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 15:49:28 GMT

Hi All,

I am relatively new to the qlikview product (only been working with it for a few weeks). I am trying to clean up some old dashboards and I was just wondering if there is any way to easily analyze if I am loading columns into a report but not using them at all in the layout??

This may be a really silly question, but figured it was worth asking....

Thanks in advance for your help!

Not a silly question at all! QlikView doesn't really provide a good way to find unused fields. Fortunately, Rob Wunderlich wrote a nice little document analyzer application to check this for you. I wouldn't count 100% on it, but so far, it's been very reliable for me. You can download it from here:
