Instead of joining Concatenate these two tables....

[suvechha_b]

Can you please explain me ellaborately, as I am new to qlikview.

simply use [concatenate] between loads, because it is like union all statement in SQL.

Hi

Concatenate is the key word used in qlikview, to load all the fields from the tables which we try to join.

From help:

     If two tables that are to be concatenated have different sets of Fields, Concatenation of two tables can still be forced with the Concatenate prefix. This statement forces concatenation with an existing named table or the latest previously created Logical Table. A concatenation is in principle the same as the SQL UNION statement, but with two differences: first that Concatenate prefix can be used no matter if the tables have identical field names or not; and secondly that no removal of identical records are made.

The syntax is:

concatenate [ (tablename ) ] ( loadstatement | selectstatement )

Ex:

Table1:

Load * from table1;

Concantenate(Table1)

Load * from table2;

In that, we can able to see all fields from both tables in a single table.

Doing such concatenations can often seem a bit counter intuitive, and I find it very hard to explain.

So you may initially need to a do leap of faith and just do it.  Assuming it works for you then you try and unravel it & understand.  Simplifying your data model  to the minimum bare bones for learning purposes will help see what is happening.

When you have any questions on specifics, prepare a sample qvw and ask a new question here on the QlikCommunity attaching your sample qvd.
