Rank number or instance number in QlikView Script

Anonymous — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 16:52:33 GMT

I'm looking for some help on optimizing my QV script in a particular scenario. What my current script does is find the rank (like SQL rank()), or the instance, of a particular widget in a table. For example:

I have widgets 1, 2 and 3.

Each widget performs a function.

Each time a widget performs its function, the data is recorded in a table.

What I need to find is the instance number each time a widget performs its function

RowNo Widget.ID Widget.FuncNo

1 1 1

2 2 1

3 1 2

4 3 1

5 1 3

6 3 2

The attached QVW illustrates how I currently accomplish this. I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it, as in reality it is performed on millions of rows.

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

InterRecord script function does the job! try this:


Widgets:
LOAD * INLINE [
 WidgetTest.WidgetID, WidgetTest.RecNo
 1, 1
 2, 2
 5, 3
 7, 4
 2, 5
 3, 6
 4, 7
 2, 8
 1, 9
 1, 10
 7, 11
 5, 12
 6, 13
 3, 14
 6, 15
 4, 16
 5, 17
 1, 18
 7, 19
];
Widgets.Solution:
LOAD
 *,
 if(
 [WidgetTest.WidgetID] <> previous([WidgetTest.WidgetID]),
 1,
 (1+peek("Rank"))
 ) as Rank
resident Widgets
order by
 [WidgetTest.WidgetID],
 [WidgetTest.RecNo]
;
drop table Widgets;
