Transform Excel

Mon, 18 Jun 2012 07:33:15 GMT

Hi,

I must have blown a couple of fuses and my brain has gone into hybernation - so some help please...

Client have a LARGE Excel-file - part of it is attached, that I read into a QV app without problem. They have now added a Yearly total (Column Q, Total) that they want to use as data under Version (Column D) - so Version will contain Goal, Result and Total.

Is there a way to do this without rebuilding the Excel-file?

Best regards

Hi Torbjörn,

Do you mean something like this? I'm not sure, though, because I guess you are doing some CROSSTABLE load at some point:

DataTmp:
LOAD År, 
     Segment, 
     Product, 
     Version,
     Jan, 
     Feb, 
     Mar, 
     Apr, 
     Maj, 
     Jun, 
     Jul, 
     Aug, 
     Sep, 
     Okt, 
     Nov, 
     Dec
FROM
[Uppföljning VD-brev indata.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [Att fylla i]);
CONCATENATE (DataTmp) LOAD År,
           Segment, 
           Product,
           Total AS Version
FROM
[Uppföljning VD-brev indata.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [Att fylla i]);

Hope that helps someway.

Miguel

Hi,

If do like that I get Version with Goal, Result and all data from Total. They need to use Version as legend in a bar chart...

[Note - last two is Goal and Result]

Hi,

How is this Total divided? I mean, once you have, according to the excel file you uploaded, Total label below Goal and Result, where does its value have to go? Under January? Or in a new row?

Regards.

Hi,

As the value for Version (Goal) is aggregated, Total is the same value as December (Month) - so it's either that or a new row...

Hi,

Then this should work.

DataTmp:
LOAD År, 
     Segment, 
     Product, 
     Version,
     Jan, 
     Feb, 
     Mar, 
     Apr, 
     Maj, 
     Jun, 
     Jul, 
     Aug, 
     Sep, 
     Okt, 
     Nov, 
     Dec
FROM
[Uppföljning VD-brev indata.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [Att fylla i]);
JOIN (DataTmp) LOAD DISTINCT År,
     Segment, 
     Product,
     'Total' AS Version,
     Total AS Dec
FROM
[Uppföljning VD-brev indata.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [Att fylla i]);

Hope that helps.

Miguel

Hi again,

I didn't get the result I wanted with the original Excel-file, so I'm starting a new thread here: http://community.qlik.com/thread/55651

(With part of original file and script attached...)

Best regards
