Data Layout

Hello,

I'm working on cleaning up data and laying it out in the best possible format for qlikview and hit sort of a roadblock. Looking for clarification on how to best handle this kind of information. Here's an example

DateFulltimePart-timeContractor
01/01/20141052
01/08/2014520
01/15/20141012

Now the twist to this data set that makes this a bit more complicated is this data is for only one project. I need this information for 3 other projects and what i'm doing is trying to create a single line chart with other list boxes that can help narrow in on a single project. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Ahmad

So i found the solution to this, for anyone interested i'll past below - it's really simple.

DateProjectFulltimePart-timeContractor
01/01/201411052
01/08/20141520
01/15/201411012
01/01/20142445
01/08/20142245
01/15/20142421

...

you need to lay out the information for all projects in a single view, and then you can import it as a cross table where the first two columns are qualifier fields and the next 3 include the data type.

Thank you for your response. can you clarify, so you're saying load it as a crosstable which i get. That would mean i need to create a table for all other projects, correct? Secondly, how will I be able to establish this information belongs to "Project1" for instance.

Attached, it's the exact same table I pasted up, just replicated 5 times (in different tabs) with their respective resource values.

Use below in script

============================================

FOR EACH i in 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'

Test:

LOAD Date,

     Fulltime,

     [Part-time],

     Contractor

FROM

[Project Resource.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [Project $(i)]);

NEXT

CrossTable(Type, Data)

Load * Resident Test;

Drop Table Test;

=============================================

Now create a Line Chart

Dimension

Date

Type

Expression
SUM(Data)
