How to load an excel in qvd form?

Hi,

I used the store tablename into tablename.qvd statement and the script executed successfully, but now I want to load the qvd instead of the excel and computed columns (some calculations on) that I did while loading excel. How to do that?

Thanks.

You need to drop the excel table and reload the QVD like https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2014/08/qvds-qlikview-application-efficient/

ok, but I've already created a good dashboard with the excel , so do I need to create the dashboard again after I load the qvd??

Don't required. Simply reload then your visualization won't change because of data already stored in memory ..

Ok thanks, and this will reduce the reload time right? due to qvd 90% compression??

just select all the objects from your already created dashboard and paste it in the qvd one.

Generally we don't create dashboard in extraction layer
