Date format convert issue

Hi Guys

I created one table as below's screenshot, you can see that, from column H to M, is date format.

The problem is when I load into QlikView by script, the date column will display in number.

So I modified the script:

Directory;

CrossTable(Month, Data, 7)

LOAD Dept,

    Section,

    [Job No],

    [Job Type],

    [Job Name],

    [Customer 1],

    [Customer 2],

    [42826],

    [42856],

    [42887],

    [42917],

    [42948],

    [42979]

FROM

[17A JOB List.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is job);

Test:

Load *,Date(Num#(Month),'YYYY-MM') as TestedDate Resident Directory;

DROP Table Directory;

However, when I reload, QlikView always pop-up error message:

Table not found

Test:

Load *,Date(Num#(Month),'YYYY-MM') as TestedDate Resident Directory


So I confused, I don't know how to revise the script. I have uploaded the QVW file in attachment. Does somebody can help me.

Thx a lot!

Hi,

Try by giving Proper name to your first loaded table instead of Directory,

Say

Table1:

.

.

.

Final:

Load *,Date(Num#(Month),'YYYY-MM') as TestedDate Resident Table1

Drop Table Table1;
