About table fields concatenation

Anonymous — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 13:31:51 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am quite new to QlikView and have been struggling about a specific issue I have when trying to build a table chart. Let me explain what I am trying to do:

My goal is to create a table chart that looks like this:

	Aug17 (past)	Sept17 (future)	Nov17 (future)
Region 1	actual value	forecast value	forecast value
Region 2	...	...	...
...	...	...	...

What I have on my hands is two separate fields (actual and forecast) and so to build this table I am filtering those fields by months (before and after today, by using set expressions like [Month]={"<=$(=$(var_today))"} ), and then summing them. Like:

Sum( $<date<=today> Actuals) + Sum($<date>today> Forecast)

Note that the Actual field only exists until today's date, but the Forecast exists on the whole time frame.

The result I get is that everything after today is not calculated and show no value:

	Aug17 (past)	Sept17 (future)	Nov17 (future)
Region 1	1,5	--	-
Region 2	...	...	...

I suspect this is because Actuals field does not exits in the future, and Qlik cannot sum with non existent entities.

Did you ever come across this kind of issue?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Gustave

Hi,

= Sum({<date={'<=today()'}> Actuals) + Sum({<date={'>today()'}>} Forecast)

Would you be able to share a sample with the expected output?(qvw)
