11 .xls files into qlik sense - is there a good way?

[#1]

Hi,

I want to import 11 .xls files into sense in a smart way.

Using a load with a  for...next to do this preceeded by a mapping that I created to map up specific transactions.

Question 1:

Is this a smart way to solve the problem or is there another more smooth way? Am I missing any details in my code, I suspect there is something wrong with my for...next?

Question 2:

Why is table 2 used to get any content in qlik and not table 1? I do not understand that (I have attached an example) when the file only have one table?

for a=201410 to 201411

      Lönekonto_TPL:

      LOAD

      @1 as Bokföringsdatum,

      @2 as Transaktionsdatum,

      @3 as Enskild_Transaktion,

      @4 as Belopp,

      @5 as Behållning,

      ApplyMap('mapping_transaktionstyp',@3,'Ej Mappat') as Transaktionstyp, //använder mappning

      ApplyMap('mapping_transaktion',@3,'Ej Träff') as Transaktion

      FROM [lib://Lönekonto TPL/file$(a).xls]

      (html, codepage is 1252, no labels, table is @2)

      Where RecNo()>=3; //bestämmer vilken rad man börjar läsa in på

next

Why not use a wildcard load?

      Lönekonto_TPL:

      LOAD

      @1 as Bokföringsdatum,

      @2 as Transaktionsdatum,

      @3 as Enskild_Transaktion,

      @4 as Belopp,

      @5 as Behållning,

      ApplyMap('mapping_transaktionstyp',@3,'Ej Mappat') as Transaktionstyp, //använder mappning

      ApplyMap('mapping_transaktion',@3,'Ej Träff') as Transaktion

      FROM [lib://Lönekonto TPL/*.xls]

      (biff, no labels, table is Sheet1$)

      Where RecNo()>=3; //bestämmer vilken rad man börjar läsa in på

Hello

and what about the storage of the qvd?

It will be  Lönekonto_TPL.qvd

or

Lönekonto_TPL2014 ....

Lönekonto_TPL2015 ....
