Binary load with realtive path of another qvw

[Mahamed_Qlik]

Hi All,

I have created two apps:

A_DataModel.qvw

B_Dashboard.qvw

I want to take binary load of A_DataModel.qvw into B_Dashboard.qvw but I want to use relative path in variable instead of writing hardcode path.

Expectation - 

BINARY $(vVarQvwPath)A_DataModel.qvw

SET vVarQvwPath = ' C:\MyDrive\Dashboards\'

But code is not working, please help asap.

Hi,

Binary Load has to be the first line of the script. So, you can't use the Set statement.

So what if I want to put folder path as relative not absolute in my binary load?

How I should write ??

Here is a link to a Microsoft post regarding different path types as well:
