Distinct values

Hi everyone,

I am quite new to qliksense and I have noticed already some discrepancies between excel and qliksense.

Whenever I import a csv file into qliksense, I get a different number of distinct values than the one I get from excel when I remove duplicates. And it's not just a couple, but thousands.

Do you know if I am missing something during the process? Am I doing anything wrong?

Cheers!

Anca

Check the spelling of your csv file. Qlik Sense is case sensitive. For instance, excel will identify "name" and "Name" as duplicate values but Qlik will identify them as distinct values.

Thanks,

Carlos

Hi,

can you attach some data (a portion of your file) ?

also, it will be interesting to see via screen shots the difference you have between excel and Qliksense

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the help.

Attached you can find the file I am struggling with.

It has 6145 distinct values according to qliksense, but when I remove duplicates in excel, I am left with 4422 values...
