Line Up 2 Rows from 2 Columns

[rydr2102]

I have loaded a table where two column/row combinations need to be displayed next to each other.

Actual Qlik Table Result

ID	Field Type	Field String Value	Field Date Value
1	Type	Started	null
1	Date	null	6/15/18

I would like to get a result in a qlik table like this:

ID1	Field String Value	Field Date Value
1	Started	6/15/18

The 2 rows in the first example share the same ID#. 

Do I have any options of:

1. Displaying the result in my 2nd table above.
2. Getting to a place where I can assign the "Field Date Value" to the "Field String Value" dimension.

I am stuck on this one and wanted to ask the community since I am missing something here.

Thanks!

I can't seem to get this working using crosstable.

Any ideas?

Hi Ray,

If you want to manage this on script side, you can use group by with maxstring function for the fields.

load

ID,

MaxString("Field String Value") as "Field String Value",

MaxString("Field Date Value") as "Field Date Value"

Inline [

ID,"Field Type","Field String Value","Field Date Value"

1,'Type','Started',

1,'Date',,'6/15/18'

]

group by ID;

If you want to achieve this on front end, You can add measures to your table with maxstring function.

Thanks for this but what about if there are multiple Types/Dates for the same ID?

ID  Field Type   Field String Value    Field Date Value
1    Type            Started                   
1    Date                                            6/15/18
1    Type            Ended
1    Date                                             6/20/18

How would I handle this?

Hi Ray,

How abuot this,

1,'Type','Started',

1,'Date',,'6/15/18'

where len("Field Date Value")>0;

I can't get this to work. I am trying to have this be a new table and read from a resident table. It does not like the where clause before or after the resident table line.
