Need help with a variant (?

castro8 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi, i'm New at Qlikview, and i'm trying to simplify my code but i can't do it.For example this is my code when I load information from an excel source.

Load
Period,
[Company Code] as [CC],
Amount,
Amount * -1 as [Negative Amount],
[Negative Amount] /1000 as [Neg Amount in miles]

The code write with Bold, doesn't work, probably because "[Negative Amount]" it's not recognized from the source of the excel. But I need it to work, cause i'm on more complex formulas, and I need them to look easy to understand.

Pleasee help,

You could apply consecutive logic within loads with a preceding load, like:

load *, [Negative Amount] /1000 as [Neg Amount in miles];
Load
Period,
[Company Code] as [CC],
Amount,
Amount * -1 as [Negative Amount]
from Source;
