Different files in sheets

Mon, 21 Oct 2013 07:59:49 GMT

Hi! I am new to QV so I might be asking something very trivial. I want to load different excel files to different sheets. They don't have the same columns and I don't care to link the sheets for now. Just work with excel A in the first sheet and excel B in the second. But I seem to get stuck with the same file as input.

Thanks

That should be pretty simple.

Open your script editor
Load as many Excel sheets as you want, but make sure that they end up in different tables. To be safe, put the NOCONCATENATE keyword before each LOAD.
Reload
In your document, create as many sheets as necessary
On each sheet, create a new object to show data from a different internal table.

That's about it. Now, what do you mean by "...stuck with the same file as input..."? Do you want to load multiple sheets from the same Excel? Then change the sheet name at the end of each LOAD statement. You're stuck with the same Excel loading over and over? Use the Table Files... button to explicitly load another Excel.

Otherwise please clarify your last sentence. Thanks.

Peter

It worked fine, it was the multiple load I was not doing right.

Thanks for the help!
