Field not found error

[Foodie123]

Hello experts,

I am trying to reload my script but I am getting an error saying the Total_Loss_Cost field is not found and I'm not sure why.

I have attached the script below

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

It looks like you haven't defined the fields for

Total_BIUM_Loss_Cost, etc, that go into the expression for the Total_Loss_Cost field?

Can you give a try like

sum(col1) +sum(col2) as total_loss

hi @Foodie123 

But is the error happening when this part of the script is executed or later?

I would believe that it is happening later when you try to make a resident to this table.

Can you get the reload log?

Best,

Hello Rafael,

The error is happening when I execute the script.

What is the reload log and where do I find that?

hi @Foodie123 

I mean knowing if the script fails when it is loading the section of the script you are pasting here or later.

It makes sense for it to be later because as far as I see, your script is not calling the field, but creating it, so it doesn't make sense for it to say "not found"

now, the logs
if you are using Qlik Sense Server

but in Qlik Sense Desktop

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, the script fails later.

It fails here

I'm still not sure where to find the reload log in the desktop version.

ok, now i can see a bit more.

first, this is Qlikview and not Qlik Sense.

now,  you may have several tables called Autobook
in picture #1  you load a table and give the name Autobook:

in picture #2 you created the Total_Lost_Cost but you are not giving it any name to the table, so it  may be assigning the same name as the QVD.

in new picture you are trying to make a resident from Autobook loaded table and calling this new table  as Autobook:, this new table will have the name Autobook-1 or similar.

my suggestion,

add a "Exit script;" after  the script in picture number2 and then take a look to the data model, you will be able to see the name of the table that has the Total_Lost_Cost field
