inline tables functionality

[sakshikaul]

Hi steve,

​I have to maintain an internal table in qlik view in which I have to compare last year date for Diwali with current Year date for Diwali. Following is the data to be maintained in inline table ​

LastDate      currentDate                event ​

12/10/2017   22/10/2018                 diwali​

22/11/2017    12/10/2018                durga pooja ​

so, I have maintained following above table in inline table and also ​

I have derived lastDate and CurrentDate from  (circled in black color)​

Date#(CreateDate, 'YYYYMMDD') as Sold_Date,​

date(Date#(CreateDate, 'YYYYMMDD')) as lastDate,​

date(Date#( CreateDate, 'YYYYMMDD')) as CurrentDate, ​

Following is the data model for the above ​

Below is the image in which date for inline table is not correct ie I am getting 10/21/4670 instead of 10/21/2017​

​

so how to make it correct?​

can we apply date function in inline table in qlikview?​

I am not sure what is the Inline table has to do with the date format? Are you loading them as an inline table? Can you share the inline table script?

I want to maintain an inline table like below but I need a primary key in inline table so that it can join an increment table (key will be lastDate and CurrentDate) as shown in fig

Inlinetable:
LOAD * INLINE [
LastDate, CurrentDate, Event
10/12/2017, 12/10/2018, Durga pooja
11/10/2017, 10/10/2018, Diwali
];

so how it is possible to join both the keys with increment sales and maintain this inline table in qlikview

[sunny_talwar]

It should join on its own, for what exactly are you using this for? What is CreateDate?

Date#(CreateDate, 'YYYYMMDD') as Sold_Date,

date(Date#(CreateDate, 'YYYYMMDD')) as lastDate,

date(Date#( CreateDate, 'YYYYMMDD')) as CurrentDate,

create date is a date used to know when last sales was done, so here create date is a column in database used as sold_date
