if then loop

Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:15:24 GMT

I have the following table:

Entry No.	Reference No.	Document No.
1		AAA
2		BBB
3		CCC
4	1	DDD
5	2	EEE
6	3	FFF
7	4	GGG
8	7	HHH

Entry No. is a unique Number. Entry nos 1 to 3 are staring numbers, the balance are linked numbers,. for eg. entry no 8 is linked to 7 which in turn is linked to 4, which in turn is linked to 1. Because there is no reference against 1, it is the the starting number

i want the results as below:

Entry No.	Reference No.	Document No.
8	1	AAA

For entry no. 8, the links end at entry no. 1 and corresponding reference against 1 is AAA.

Can anyone help me with this in qlikview.

Thanks Joshmi,

but it is determining reference no. only for the first entry no. in the above example, it has given the output for entry no.1 , it should also show output for entry no. 5 and 6 whose source no is 2 and 3 respectively.

Entry No.	Reference No.	Document No.
8	1	AAA
5	2	BBB
6	3	CCC

Dear Joshmi,

One more help. the formula you provided works well. But practically in my company, we have more than one Ref against an Entry.

Test:

LOAD * INLINE [

Entry No.	Reference No.	Document No.
1		AAA
2		BBB
3		CCC
4	1	DDD
5	2	EEE
6	2	FFF
7	4	GGG
8	7	HHH

For eg. in the above table, Entry 5 is from 2 and Entry 6 is also from 2.

This is possible when entry 2 has 100 Qty's and 50 are issued under Entry 5 and balance 50 under entry 6.

in such a case, the output should be as follows:

Entry No.	Reference No.	Document No.
5	2	BBB
6	2	BBB

please help.
