How to join table on two dimensions

Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:23:01 GMT

I am a relative new Qlikview developer and looking for a bit of help on a particular problem.

I am trying to join two tables based on two dimensions, technican and date. I have a date table that lists all of a technicians jobs completed over a month of time and it includes a TECH ID as well as DATE COMPLETED. Over a month each technician will have hundreds of completed jobs, each with a unique ID.

I also have a table with timesheet data. This timesheet has:

TECH ID

SCHEDULE DATE

PRODUCTIVE HOURS

OVERTIME HOURS

In order to accurately count a particular technicians utilization i need to be able to add up the number of jobs a technican completed in a particular day and the divide by the number of productive and overtime hours in that day.

For a selected Date and tech => count(PCAD)/(sum(Productive Hours)+sum(Overtime Hours))

I tried to join the tables using Tech ID and Date but am not getting any results for the number of hours.

I have included an .XLS sheet below with some fake data and my initial .QVW

Thank you very much

Adjust your first LOAD:

LOAD [Date Completed] as Date, 
     Tech_Completed, 
     [Tech ID Completed] AS [Tech ID], 
     Address, 
     [Job Type], 
     PCAD
FROM
[Hours Trial.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [Fake Jobs]);

the join was wrong because the Tech ID field names were not the same in both tables.
