Data Extract from QVW file

Hello,

I currently working on a dashboard and I am extracting data from an existing file.

I successfully extracted the data but I need to manipulate the field (to produce date fields like Month, Year)

I need tips on how to do this

Please see attachments for clarity..

Best Regards

Akpofure

I guess create a Master Calendar which links to your field you want it to link to.

Load

<Date.Filed Name> As date

Month(<Date.Filed Name>) as Month

MonthName<Date.Filed Name> ) as MonthName

Year(<Date.Filed Name> ) as Year.

You could add a new Mater Calendar table Creating A Master Calendar‌in your and join that to the date field from your binary load.

Thanks Sunny for your quick response and good suggestions.

Can you help me with tips on how to achieve that..

I tried introducing scripts after the binary statement.

It doesn't response...

Thanks M. Kumar

Please I try this script you suggest, It didn;t load..

Please find attached file....

Maybe I didn't arrange the syntax well...

The table name is the one I will give to the qvw file.

Few things are not right

Remove  "Calender: " Before Binary  load ( Please read the concept of binary load and its limitation)

Then below script

Load

CH.DOC.LAST_CHANGED_AT

CH.DOC.LAST_CHANGED_AT As date,

Month(CH.DOC.LAST_CHANGED_AT) as Month,

MonthName(CH.DOC.LAST_CHANGED_AT) as MonthName,

Year(CH.DOC.LAST_CHANGED_AT) as Year,

resident "Name of the table in which field CH.DOC.LAST_CHANGED_AT is present after binary load "

As Sunny and Bill suggested  Master calendar is way to go..
