Qlik Sense: Help required on Scripting

[rahulgoyal1287]

Hi There,

Thanks for taking out some for my queries.

I am trying to build a solution in QlikSense  where in we have developed several QVDs which are based on multiple sheets of an Excel.

There are few columns which are common across various sheets so i have applied a Qualify * clause (which prefixed the respectibvbe table names before each attribute)...

We need to develop a dataset based on multiple above QVDs(per table) using inner joins & have to apply conditions at each QVD..

For example, there Table A & B has field X in common however it is stored with the different names as A.X & B.X respectively.

Script written:

Table_1:

Load *

from QVD-A;

inner join (Table_1)

Load *

From QVD-B;

Question 1: Is there any way to use ON Clause feature in Qlik the way we use it SQL Sever through which we can link the columns with different names?

Question 2: How can we restrict the data in above format if we have got few conditions to be applied on both QVDs(dataset)?

For example, Field Y from QVD A is need to set to 'Yes' & Field Z from QVD B should be equal to 'M'.

Thanks for the response.

Hi Rahul,

1. Qlik joins on common column name (natural join), you can't specify other condition, you should give the same name to join fields (you can set that in load script with alias - column1 as A).

2. you can use several expression in your load script, e.g.: if(column='Y','YES','NO'), you'll find all of them in official Qlik help website https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/June2018/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Scripting/functions-in-scripts-cha...

you can do as below:

es.

Table_A_B:

Load A.X as X

from QVD-A where Y = 'Yes';

inner join

Load B.X as X

From QVD-B Where Z = 'M';

i hope this helps.
