Hi!

 

I have also tried browsing the web for some clarity on the contents of the "qvw.Fields.tab" file contents.

 

Basically, if you open Qlikview's table viewer and hit the "Export Structure" button, Qlikview will generate three files for you: Fields, Mappings and Tables. The last to are pretty straight forward to understand that the Fields file contains a lot of columns:

  • FieldName
  • DistinctOnly
  • Cardinal
  • TotalCount
  • PossibleCount
  • HasInfo
  • IsLocked
  • AlwaysOneSelected
  • AndMode
  • Tags

I would be very grateful if someone can explain the columns marked in bold above.

 

Thanks
