How to structure a lot of fields

[cantona_rules]

Hi.

I need to load a lot of fields (more than 400) from different dimensions, and I have the following questions:

1) is there a way (easy, remember there is 400 fields) to show the labels insted of (or maybe together with) the fieldname (the data is read from a SQL database)

2) is it possible to structure the fields so the user of the app can see a "grouping" of the fields by the dimension they are from instead of the normal alphabetic order of all the fields loaded.

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Brian

Hi,

you can use mapping table (stored in Excel) for technical and business name of fields + use RENAME function during reload script.

Please follow links:

 Your second question - you can use QUALIFY function for that, then Qlik will add prefix (source table name) to the name of field or develope with TAG function: HELP LINK

hope it helps
