I think I might know what went wrong... can you try this

MAP:

MAPPING

LOAD [PSA Project pse Project ID] & AutoNumber(RowNo(), [PSA Project pse Project ID] & 1),

    [HOLD Closure date2]
FROM [$(QVD_Path)\GSD_HOLDClosuredate2.qvd] (qvd);


HOLD:

LOAD [PSA Project pse Project ID],
    [HOLD Closure date],
    Applymap('MAP', [PSA Project pse Project ID] & AutoNumber(RowNo(), [PSA Project pse Project ID] & 2)) as T

FROM [$(QVD_Path)\GSD_HOLDClosuredate.qvd] (qvd);

try this

Applymap('MAP', [PSA Project pse Project ID], Null() ) as T


or please share some sample app


* you have two records ([HOLD Closure date]) for [PSA Project pse Project ID] (PR- 539478)

Hello,

mapping doesn't work with multiple values under one key ([PSA Project pse Project ID]). So this is the normal behaviour.

"The only time that you cannot use Applymap() instead of a join is if you want to fetch more than one single corresponding value (record) from the second table." (Source: https://community.qlik.com/blogs/qlikviewdesignblog/2012/09/18/one-favorite-function-applymap)

Kind regards

Any specific reason to use Mapping load ?,

if not you can simply do that using  joins like left or Inner

How about this

MAP:

MAPPING

LOAD [PSA Project pse Project ID] & AutoNumber(RowNo(), [PSA Project pse Project ID]),

    [HOLD Closure date2]
FROM [$(QVD_Path)\GSD_HOLDClosuredate2.qvd] (qvd);


HOLD:

LOAD [PSA Project pse Project ID],
    [HOLD Closure date],
    Applymap('MAP', [PSA Project pse Project ID] & AutoNumber(RowNo(), [PSA Project pse Project ID])) as T

FROM [$(QVD_Path)\GSD_HOLDClosuredate.qvd] (qvd);

Hi Anand,

i tried using join it is not working as it will duplicates the rows.

As we have 2 timestamps for same Project ID.

May be like this:

MAP:

Mapping LOAD

[PSA Project pse Project ID],

[HOLD Closure date2] 

FROM

[$(QVD_Path)\GSD_HOLDClosuredate2.qvd](qvd);

HOLD:

LOAD

     [PSA Project pse Project ID],

     [HOLD Closure date],

     Applymap('MAP', [PSA Project pse Project ID], ApplyMap('MAP',[HOLD Closure date2],Null()) as T

FROM

[$(QVD_Path)\GSD_HOLDClosuredate.qvd](qvd);

How many instances of  PR-539478 do you have in your GSD_HOLDClosuredate.qvd? It seems that it might be more than 4? how many instances do you have in GSD_HOLDClosuredate2.qvd?

If one qvd has more than the other, how do you expect to map them?
