Using Match() & OSUser() with an Excel File

microwin88x — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello!

I have my application where there is a Table that has the following fields:

Client (Dimension)
Category (Dimension)
#Attentions (Expression)

Each Client belongs to a particular Office where he works. That Office is a Field in my QlikView application.

Today I got a Excel file with a list of Users that should have access to the Table depending on the Office they have assigned.

For example, the file has the following columns:

Office	User
Office1	User1
Office2	User2
Office3	User3

So the User1 should only see the information in the Table for the Clients that work in the Office1.

The application has also many other objects which they will be visible for all the users. So I only want to filter for that Table.

Do you have any idea of how could I do this?

1. Should I load the Excel file in my app?

2. I need to apply the filter only in the Table. But should I apply it over the Dimension CLIENTS or in the Expression #ATTENTIONS? Because I don't want a User to see the CLIENTS from other Offices.

3. I was told that I could use the functions Match() & OSUser(). How could I do this?

Thank you!!!

You should load this as an authorization table (inside Section Access), with one of the columns containing the OS user name. Label this field NTNAME.

Both fields; OFFICE and NTNAME, should be in upper case. Then go to document properties, Opening and check "Initial data reduction ... "

Read more under Section Access in the manual.
