Increamental load

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I have just started reading about Increamental reload, and I understand some parts about, but I am not really sure how it works, can some one help me with a simple example of increamental load on the attached file?

Many thanks in advance

Kind regards

I added a sheet to your datasource.

1 I load the id of new data

2 I load the old data except the rows that are to be updated

3 I add the new rows to your data.

I am loading data from the SQL database, and I only want to load new data that has been added to the table, the issue is that, i am loading millions of rows to the model and i want to avoid loading all the data when doing a reload but only loading the new rows

Thanks

Then you don't need the first where NOT EXISTS() check.

I believe you have to load all data into a reload, but your old transaction-file.qvd will be faster than a SQL-request?

However you could do a partial reload if you are working on the QlikView-desktop.

Table:

//Load your old data except the rows you want to do incrementel update on

LOAD Id,

Name

FROM

Test.xlsx

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

//Load your new rows when using partial reload to the Table

add only LOAD

Id,

Name

FROM

Test.xlsx

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet2);

Running script using ctrl-shift-R will only add your Sheet2-data to the qvw-table "Table".

On my case the ADD ONLY LOAD will not work since the data i want is only the new added data on sheet1, I want to add the Data that was inserted on sheet1 after I did the first reload. what I see now is that if I do the reload on the same sheet, all the data is add again, plus the new rows.

So is there a way to load only the new data but on the same sheet?

You need to know which data is new data. I am assuming the Id is unique for each row.

If I understand correctly.

Day one: You load sheet1 containing id 1,2 and 3

Day two, three etc.: The sheet1 contains id 1,2,3 and 4, but you only want to load 4 into the app.

Day one, the initial load of data.

Trans:

LOAD Id,

Name

FROM

Test.xlsx

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1)

;

store Trans into Trans.qvd;

Day two, three etc., only new rows will be added to the master Transaction file.

Trans:

LOAD

Id,

Name

From

Trans.qvd (qvd);

concatenate LOAD

Id,

Name

FROM

Test.xlsx

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1)

WHERE

NOT Exists(Id)

;
