I am new to qlikview. I have a question for which I couldn't find a solution.
Can someone help me?
The problem statement is:
I have a folder in a FTP server, which contains excel files. More specifically every quarter there will be a new file with the "year-quarter" as the file name.
Again every file has 3 sheets.
My tasks is to read all the excel files, and store the data from sheet1 from all excel file in a qvd. And this has to repeat for sheet2 & sheet 3 as well.
this should be very straighforward when doing it with QlikView, as long as every file has the same internal structure:
LOAD *
FROM FilePath\*.xlsx (ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);
LOAD *
FROM FilePath\*.xlsx (ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet2);
LOAD *
FROM FilePath\*.xlsx (ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet3);
The first load statement will get the data from the Sheet1 from all files. The second from the Sheet2, and so on. If all files / sheets have the same data structure, QlikView will automagically concatenate the data in the same table.
