File path problem in QLikSense server

[qlikmark1990]

I tried to convert a QLikView application to QlikSense server application. My first step is to transfer the script to QlikSense server.

SET vHide = 1;

SET vExcelPath = [lib://Finance (hilltops_sa_carapax)/];

LET vToday = NUM(TODAY());

My file path is defined by vExcelPath

While loading a file when the path is hardcoded like :

LOAD

    @1,

    @2,

    @3,

    @4

FROM [lib://Finance (hilltops_sa_carapax)/2018-22.csv]

(txt, codepage is 1252, no labels, delimiter is ';', msq);

it works properly.

I currently have 13 file named 2018-22 until 2018-34 and I want to load all of this files by using the following LOAD statement :

PreLoad:

LOAD

ROWNO() AS PL_LineNo,

@1 AS PL_1,

@2 AS PL_2,

21 + CEIL(ROWNO() / 6 - 0.1)

AS PL_Week,

@3 AS PL_3,

@4 AS PL_4,

@5 AS PL_5,

@6 AS PL_6

FROM $(vExcelPath)2018-*.csv

(txt, codepage is 1252, no labels, delimiter is ';', msq)

WHERE LEN(TRIM(@2))>0;

The error that I receive is :

Laden van gegevens gestart

De volgende fout is opgetreden:

Unexpected token: 'hilltops_sa_carapax', expected one of: 'html', 'Header', 'biff', 'dif', 'fix', 'json', 'kml', ...

De fout is hier opgetreden:

PreLoad: LOAD ROWNO() AS PL_LineNo, @1 AS PL_1, @2 AS PL_2, 21 + CEIL(ROWNO() / 6 - 0.1) AS PL_Week, @3 AS PL_3, @4 AS PL_4, @5 AS PL_5, @6 AS PL_6 FROM lib://Finance (>>>>>>hilltops_sa_carapax<<<<<<)/2018-*.csv (txt, codepage is 1252, no labels, delimiter is ';', msq) WHERE LEN(TRIM(@2))>0

Gegevens zijn niet geladen. Corrigeer de fout en probeer opnieuw te laden.

I tried to rename the connection to ExcelFiles but QLikSense automatically changes this to ExcelFiles (hilltops_sa_carapax). I think that the error is caused by the space and/or bracket but I can't remove this characters while editing the connection.

I also tried to rename to ExcelFiles_(hilltops_sa_carapax) but this changes automatically to ExcelFiles_(hilltops_sa_carapax) (hilltops_sa_carapax).

How am I able to solve this?

Try taking the square brackets out of the variable and putting them round the whole file path after the FROM

FROM [$(vExcelPath)2018-*.CSV]

(txt, .....)
