Error In Load Script

[Anonymous]

Hello Everyone!

I am trying to make a strigh forward forecast chart, and I have been googling and I found someone talking about creating a master calender and how to perform a simple linger regression; however, I am stuck at, what I believe is, a weird error. Please find below my script and the error associated with it:

QuartersMap: 

MAPPING LOAD  

rowno() as Month, 

'Q' & Ceil (rowno()/3) as Quarter 

AUTOGENERATE (12); 

Temp: 

Load 

               Date(min(MYDATEFIELD)) as minDate,  //Enter YourDateField from your data table

               Date(max(MYDATEFIELD)+90) as maxDate  //Generate dates until 3 months from max date for regression

Resident MYTABLE; 

Let varMinDate = Num(Peek('minDate', 0, 'Temp')); 

Let varMaxDate = Num(Peek('maxDate', 0, 'Temp')); 

DROP Table Temp; 

TempCalendar: 

LOAD 

               $(varMinDate) + (IterNo()-1) As Num, 

               Date($(varMinDate) + IterNo() - 1) as TempDate 

               AutoGenerate 500; //1 While $(varMinDate) + IterNo() -1 <= $(varMaxDate);  (this was giving an error until I changed it to 500)

MasterCalendar: 

Load 

               TempDate AS MYDATEFIELD,  //This field is the key that connects to the data table

               week(TempDate) As Week, 

               Year(TempDate) As Year, 

               Month(TempDate) As Month, 

               Day(TempDate) As Day, 

               YeartoDate(TempDate)*-1 as CurYTDFlag, 

               YeartoDate(TempDate,-1)*-1 as LastYTDFlag, 

               inyear(TempDate, Monthstart($(varMaxDate)),-1) as RC12, 

               date(monthstart(TempDate), 'MMM-YYYY') as MonthYear,  //This will be your dimension in the line-chart

               ApplyMap('QuartersMap', month(TempDate), Null()) as Quarter, 

               Week(weekstart(TempDate)) & '-' & WeekYear(TempDate) as WeekYear, 

               WeekDay(TempDate) as WeekDay 

Resident TempCalendar 

Order By TempDate ASC; 

Drop Table TempCalendar; 

and here is the error:

The following error occurred:

Unexpected token: ')', expected one of: '(', ',', 'ZTestw_z', 'OPERATOR_PLUS', 'OPERATOR_MINUS', 'not', 'bitnot', ...

The error occurred here:

Your help is really appreciated!

You should use RowNo() instead of IterNo() when you have an autogenerate.

http://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/12.1/Subsystems/Client/Content/Scripting/CounterFunctions/IterNo...

IterNo() only works if you have a WHILE clause in your load staement.

Thanks for your reply!

I changed it to RowNo(); however,  the same issue exists!

Any ideas?

By the way, I am using Qlik Sense!

Monthstart(>>>>>>)<<<<<<,-1

The variables don't get proper values. Try using numeric values instead of Date values:

Temp:

Load

               Num(min(MYDATEFIELD)) as minDate,  //Enter YourDateField from your data table

               Nume(max(MYDATEFIELD)+90) as maxDate  //Generate dates until 3 months from max date for regression

Resident MYTABLE;

Only in the master table apply the date format to TempDate get the correct MYDATEFIELD values. The While loop should work too when your variables have numeric values.

I did; however the same error exists.

Here is the new Script

QuartersMap:

Temp: 

Load 

               (min(MYDATEFIELD)) as minDate,  //Enter YourDateField from your data table

               (max(MYDATEFIELD)+90) as maxDate  //Generate dates until 9 months from max date for regression

Resident MYTABLE; 

Let varMinDate = Num(Peek('minDate', 0, 'Temp')); 

Let varMaxDate = Num(Peek('maxDate', 0, 'Temp')); 

DROP Table Temp; 

TempCalendar: 

LOAD 

               $(varMinDate) + (RowNo()-1) As Num, 

               Date($(varMinDate) + RowNo() - 1) as TempDate 

               AutoGenerate 500;//1 While $(varMinDate) + RowNo() -1 <= $(varMaxDate); 

MasterCalendar: 

Load 

               TempDate AS MYDATEFIELD,  //This field is the key that connects to the data table

               WeekDay(TempDate) as WeekDay 

Resident TempCalendar

here is the error:

Same error, same cause. Make sure your variable $(varMaxDate) gets a correct value. Can you post a small example qvw that demonstrates the issue?

[shraddha_g]

$(varMaxDate) is giving wrong value
