Circular Joins (3 Tables joining each other on the same key)

Hi,

I have 3 tables joining on the same key. Is this normal?

I am thinking this is a circular join.How can I resolve this? Please see attached table viewer screenshot.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Hi sudhakar,

no - at least, what is seen on that screenshot, that is not a circular JOIN, that is quite ok - QlikView would issue a warning if you had a circular reference - you run that risk only if you have several different keys that join A to B, B to C and C to A, not if all three tables share the same key.

Best regards,

Sudhakar,

Joining with singleKey for multiple table is not circular reference. Its ok with QV.

See below link by HIC. you will be clear on circular reference.

Circular References
