Dynamic number of columns

Is it possible in QV to have a source file with N columns and a report table that just displays that raw data,

and then one day adding more columns to the source file and automatically add those new columns to the report table, without modifying the load script and the report table (you would just have to click the Reload button)?

Thanks,

Miguel

Automatically loading new columns is easy. Just do a wildcard loading: Load * From ...somewhere...;

To automatically add the columns to a report table is harder. That needs to be done with a macro. You can find an example here: http://community.qlik.com/message/407342#407342
