Avoid circular loops in different ways

1. Removing common fields: When common fields causing circular references are not required in data model and doing so will not affect the relationship between two tables. Removing fields can be done by commenting or removing field from load script.
2. Renaming fields: When common fields causing synthetic keys are not same field (not containing similar values), These are actually different fields with same name. Renaming can be done by using “AS” or by using QUALIFY statement.
3. Composite Key: We can create an explicit composite key with the concatenation of all common fields that actually represent the link between tables. After creating the new complex key, we can remove the conflicting fields from either table.
4. Concatenate: Qlikview automatically concatenate/ combines tables if they have same granularity and columns. However, in some scenario, some of the columns are different. Here we need to force concatenation using CONCATENATE and combine the datasets in a single table.
5. Link Table: Link table links two or more fact tables by taking all common fields out of the original tables and places them into a new table.The new link table contains all possible combinations of values for the set of fields through a unique key and is associated with the original tables.
