Keep Specail characters

Hi - How can I keep special characters in Qliksense ? I gave a address field which has special char in the data, but in the dashboard it shows differently.

Ex: Raw data - Hemvärnsgatan 9

but in Dashboard it shows as - Hemv?rnsgatan 9.

How can I retain the raw data here ?

 

Thank you much.

Try this 

SubField(Address, ' ', 1) & ' ' & SubField(Address, ' ', 2)

This will not work as Address has different types of charecters...I want this to be dynamic where it pulls in the raw data as is..

Whats your source for this data? When I loaded it though inline table, it shows okay in the KPI chart.


Load * inline [
string
Hemvärnsgatan 9
];

What is your expected output?

 

You can use 

Keepchar (fieldnam,'*':;!"??*,.') as fieldname

 

Here you can provide your special characters

A lot of reasons are possible, for example an inappropriate (configured) data-base driver which prevents that data are loaded with the right char-set. Another possibility is the used font which may not have these special chars and/or a wrong collation-setting is applied (see in the help/community for: CollationLocale). Probably there are more causes possible.

At first you need to find the real cause before you could adjust any logic.
