With the starting point from the two files TESTFIL01 and TESTFIL02 I am trying to create the following new table in a QlikView script but I don’t get the new table the way I want. I am just a beginner…

KATEGORI     DATE   NAME     FROMDAT    SURNAME      

    5      20030317   Stina    20020901   Nilsson   

  5      20060101   Stina    20060101   Karlsson

Anyway, I am used to more traditional SQL and the scipt below

works perfect, but unfortunately not in QlikView.

select T01.KATEGORI                            

     , T01.DATE                                

     , T01.NAME                                

     , T02.FROMDAT                             

     , T02.SURNAME                           

  from      TESTFIL01 T01                           

  left join TESTFIL02 T02                      

    on T01.KATEGORI = T02.KATEGORI             

   and T02.FROMDAT                             

      = (select max(T02.FROMDAT)               

           from TESTFIL02 T02                  

           where T02.KATEGORI = T01.KATEGORI AND

                 T02.FROMDAT <= T01.DATE)      

order by T01.KATEGORI, T01.DATE

What is the best way to ‘convert’ the SQL above into a good working LOAD-statement in QlikView document ?

As you can see I am a ‘QlikView’-beginner…

Thank you in advance!

He,

If you can connect to the database, you can still use your sql code.

Table1:

Load *;

sql

select T01.KATEGORI                           

     , T01.DATE                               

     , T01.NAME                               

     , T02.FROMDAT                            

     , T02.SURNAME                          

  from      TESTFIL01 T01                          

  left join TESTFIL02 T02                     

    on T01.KATEGORI = T02.KATEGORI            

   and T02.FROMDAT                            

      = (select max(T02.FROMDAT)              

           from TESTFIL02 T02                 

           where T02.KATEGORI = T01.KATEGORI AND

                 T02.FROMDAT <= T01.DATE)     

order by T01.KATEGORI, T01.DATE

Thank You.

The incoming data will be in SKV-files...

I guess this makes my little problem still remaining...
