Hi,
I have a problem where I need to get Transaction data from a OLE DB data source and then add en Excel file with manually entered Budget data for four different companies, the load data look like this compressed with the relevant fields for two of the companies as below.
I add the company name as Client field for every company and the joined data for Transactions table is working as supposed.
My problem is that the budget data is added on the last day of the month because it's mainly relevant to look at this aggregated per month. But since there are multiple transactions in the Transaction data the last day of the month every month the Budget data get multiplied for every occurrence of that date.
What I've found is that I should use a Link table to solve this issue but it seems that my skills is not enough to get the script right.
I would like to group interval of accounts for example revenue, material cost, gross profit etc. for set analysis and add a master calendar (or similar) to do analysis on different time periods. Is it possible to have a Link table for Client, account and date fields and then add grouping and master calendar connected in the Link table or do you have to do this in the Load for the original data sources?
Hi Marcus,
Assuming it is only the change of domain name. Do you know where do we make the changes in Qlik to connect to our DB ?
Thanks

In the simplest case it means just overwriting this part within the connection-string. Depending on the driver/connector and/or if the string is scrambled you may need to create a new connection-string. For this use the connection-wizard.
Hi Marcus,
Only the admin can have access to the connection wizard?
Is this how we can add a new connection to Qlik?
It will surely depend of the wanted Qlik tool and the allowance to create/change connections might be restricted to certain users - if so you should get an appropriate message:
