Dynamic HTML table selection anchor

[#1]

Hello,

I am new to QlikView, so I apologize if the question has already been answered - I just haven't been able to find it.

I am creating a QlikView app that sits primarily on SharePoint 2013, and I want to figure out a way to dynamically determine which HTML table I have to extract list data from.  I have an ODBC connection, but I've been loading most of the data via the web file wizard.  What I am extracting always resides on the third to last table resident in the table selection box.  I would like to streamline the application upkeep process as the number of potential tables will be slowly changing, and I don't want to have to rewire it every time a list object gets added.

I haven't found any recognizable (to me) reference lists which I can index or peek into, and I was hoping someone out there might have some more insight than me into the mechanics of the process so that I can establish a dynamic table anchor.  (page two of web file load wizard)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Joe

To clarify, I understand that I could loop through the potential tables, but as the target table maintains a static position related to the final field value, I thought that an alternative method might be more efficient.

I have the same problem. I need to load last table in webpage. Did you manage to resolve this in other way than looping through all table and wait for "table not found" error in errormode?

I probably could have accomplished this more dynamically with a FOR loop but here's my approach.  Changing the ErrorMode is a critical step since many of the tables in this load script don't actually exist.

SET ErrorMode = 0;//temporarily disable error handling (some of the below tables don't exist)

temp15: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @15);
temp16: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @16);
temp17: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @17);
temp18: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @18);
temp19: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @19);
temp20: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @20);
temp21: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @21);
temp22: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @22);
temp23: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @23);
temp24: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @24);
temp25: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @25);
temp26: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @26);
temp27: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @27);
temp28: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @28);
temp29: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @29);
temp30: NoConcatenate LOAD * FROM DH_wrt.html (html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @30);

//Checks if each table exists, then loads third prior table as WebTable
IF NoOfRows('temp30')<>NULL THEN
  WebTable: NoConcatenate LOAD * Resident temp27;
ELSEIF NoOfRows('temp29')<>NULL THEN
  WebTable: NoConcatenate LOAD * Resident temp26;

SET ErrorMode = 1;//turn error handling back on for the rest of your script
