How to build data model forming multiple common keys

[Lakshmanudui]

Hi All,

I have tables  like table 1, table2, table 3 table 4 and Table 5. Can you please see the below table fields for each table.

Table 1
Code	Code Type	Market	Region	Zone	Code	flag1	flag2	Status

Table 2
Date	Year	Month	Market	Type	Quntity	Code	Sales

Table 3
Date	Year	Month	Market	Orders	Type	Sales_Orders

Table 4
Date	Year	Month	Market	Region	Zone	Type	Profit	Profit area

Table 5
Date	Year	Month	Market	Region	Type	Order_type	Order Quantity	Volume

Table 1 and Table 2 mapped with code field and table 2, table 3, table 4 and Table 5 mapped with multiple fields and table 1 ,table 3, table 4 and Table 5 mapped with multiple field with Table 1.

I am trying avoid synthetic key using link table then it is forming circular loop.

I am trying to add code field into link table then code field values is not reflected table 3, table 4 and Table 5 and Table 1 only reflected.

Can you please suggest me  how to build data mode when If I selected any filters like code, Year, Month , Market , Region, Zone then reflected entire tables.

Can you please suggest me how to form associations. if possible can you share sample example.

Thanks & Regards,

Lakshman

Simply knowing fields is not enough, what is relations between each of these tables?

1 to Many , or 1 to 1 or many to many?

please post some sample data in excel

Hi Vinieme,

Thanks for your replay.

I have attached sample excel sheet with sample data.

My requirement is if I select any code in code field then it will reflect in all table values.

I have 5 tables taken in Qlik side tables are "market wise" ,"region wise" , "Zone wise "and "code wise" separate tables.

In market table i have taken fields like Market ,Orders, Type and Sales orders.

If i select code values in code field then it will reflect the data and same time if i select year or Month selection then it will reflect.

Same thing in Regions and Zone , and Code table and also will reflected in Market , Region, Zone, Code , Year and Month field selections also.

Can you please suggest me how to build data model.

Thanks & Regards,

Lakshman

Just create the data-model as star-scheme - which is the official recommendation from Qlik to get the best compromise of efforts and performance. This means in your case merging all 5 tables into a single fact-table and maybe some information - especially from table 1 - might be outsourced in n dimension-tables.

Especially the tables 2 - 5 look like as if they could be rather simple concatenated - maybe some cleaning/filling/preparing of the fields might be useful. For some of these measures and/or as alternatively to the concatenation you may also join/map the tables together.

It's not only the simplest approach to build a data-model else it works usually very smoothly and with a good performance.
