Can you help me with this? Loading excel files ...

Hello, I need help with this:


I have two excel files but NO common field (file 1 and file 2)

I need to see how identify the employees1 of file 1 (Garcia Fernandez Luis) with the employees2 of the other file 2 (Luis G.) In File 1

Finally I have to replace the field containing (Garcia Fernandez Luis) for file 2 field (Luis G.)


Can you give me some idea? I'm very lost. Thank you

How can you tell that a row from file1 corresponds to a row in file2?

Qlikview doesn't have a big smart machine learning engine, so unless you can define the rules to match a record from file1 to a record with file2 then it can't be done with Qlikview.

If you can't rename the header's in excel, you can rename them in your load script in Qlikview

'name as realName'

Thank you for your help.

I am not sure but i have been reading about string funtions.

Perhaps using the subfield() funtion to break the employment1  file1 in several fields, then comparing with the employment2 in file2...

I don't khow ...

Yes, subfields would likely work. Unfortunately, I am no expert on subfields
