table field appears empty when joining tables

Hi all. 🙂

So this weird thing keeps happening to me.

I have this script:

Table:

Load 

ID1 as ID,

date(floor(Date1),'DD/MM/YYYY') as Date_Exam

Exam1ID as Exam_ID

from [$(pathQVD)Exam1.qvd] (qvd);

concatenate

LOAD

ID2 as ID,

date(floor(Date2),'DD/MM/YYYY') as Date_Exam,

Exam2ID as Exam_ID

from [$(pathQVD)Exam2.qvd] (qvd);

concatenate

LOAD

ID3 as ID,

date(floor(Date3),'DD/MM/YYYY') as Date_Exam,

Exam3ID as Exam_ID

from [$(pathQVD)Exam3.qvd] (qvd);

 

Left join(Table)

LOAD 

ExamID as Exam_ID

date(floor("Date_Results"),'DD/MM/YYYY') as Date_Results

from [$(pathQVD)Results.qvd] (qvd);

 

 

What happens is, when i do the left join on field Exam_ID, the Date_Results  field appears empty (!) and I found out due to the master calendar for Date_Results where I got the field "a" not found error. Now that's a first for me, any idea why it happens?

If i just load the table without joining them through Exam_ID, that is I just keep ExamID  with no alias (without "as Exam_ID"), the table loads just fine.

 

 

I'm literally clueless! 😳

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

Its might be, due to "ExamId" from Results.qvd doesn't match with Table.
Else, format might be different (either text and number) format.

Thanks & Regards, Mayil Vahanan R
