exchange rates

[Anonymous]

Dear All,

Again seeking for your help, ‌Every month I have to update my information with a new exchange rates (several countries, several rates), is it possible to multiple every currency by the must current exchange rate or any exchange rate I choose via Qlik Sense?. The source of the exchange rate values is a file that my company produces.

Thanks again.

Cheers

Hi,

You want to calculate all data with most current exchange rates? Easiest way is to calculate it using your load script. Below there is a brief example script for rates calculation:

-----------------------------------------------------------

//Data load from temp

DATA:

LOAD

Country,

UnitValue,

DataCurrencyCode

RESIDENT DATA_TEMP;

DROP TABLE DATA_TEMP;

//Exchange CSV load

ExchangeRates:

LOAD

CurrencyCode,

CurrencyRate

FROM [lib://CSV/ExchangeRates.csv]

(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is ';', msq);

//Join Exchange to DATA

LEFT JOIN (DATA)

LOAD

CurrencyCode AS DataCurrencyCode,

CurrencyRate

RESIDENT ExchangeRates;

//Data load with group values

DATA_GROUP:

LOAD

Country,

UnitValue,

DataCurrencyCode,

CurrencyRate

UnitValue*CurrencyRate AS GroupValue

RESIDENT DATA;

DROP TABLE DATA;

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hey there,

You can use the new feature of Qlik Sense named as "Qlik Sense Data Market" when you can upload a current exchange rate that is automatic updated. Here is how you do it:

See this video, form Michael Tarallo, in minute 6 aproximatly:
