Importscript item attribute problem

[#1]

Hello all,

at the moment, I'm dealing with an importscript problem with QlikView 9SR5. In this script, I'm importing records (key is ITEM_ID) from a database. This record excists of several fields:

Articles:
LOAD
 "ITEM_ID",
 "ITEM_CODE" AS ArticleNumber,
 "ITEM_REV" AS ArticleRevision,
 "ITEM_GROUP" AS ArticleGroup,
 "ITEM_DESC1" AS ArticleDescription1,
 "ITEM_DESC2" AS ArticleDescription2,
 "ITEM_DESC5" AS ArticleDescription5,
 "ITEM_CURRENT" AS ArticleCurrent,
 applymap('Temp_Preferred_Excel',ITEM_ID) AS ArticlePreferredFromExcel;
SQL SELECT *
FROM MST."MST_ITEM_MAIN";

So far, so good. After this, I'm importing the attributes for the 'Articles' from a different table (structure: ITEM_ID, HEADER_CODE, TECH_VALUE).

ArticleAttributes:
LOAD
 "ITEM_ID",
 if("HEADER_CODE" = 'COLOR', "TECH_VALUE") AS ArticleAttributeColor,
 if("HEADER_CODE" = 'CURRENT', "TECH_VALUE") AS ArticleAttributeCurrent,
 if("HEADER_CODE" = 'DIAMETER', "TECH_VALUE") AS ArticleAttributeDiameter,
 if("HEADER_CODE" = 'HEIGHT', "TECH_VALUE") AS ArticleAttributeHeight,
 if("HEADER_CODE" = 'LENGTH', "TECH_VALUE") AS ArticleAttributeLenght,
 if("HEADER_CODE" = 'POWER', "TECH_VALUE") AS ArticleAttributePower,
 if("HEADER_CODE" = 'PREFPART', "TECH_VALUE") AS ArticleAttributePrefpart,
 if("HEADER_CODE" = 'RESISTANCE', "TECH_VALUE") AS ArticleAttributeResistance,
 if("HEADER_CODE" = 'ROHS', "TECH_VALUE") AS ArticleAttributeRohs,
 if("HEADER_CODE" = 'VOLTAGE', "TECH_VALUE") AS ArticleAttributeVoltage,
 if("HEADER_CODE" = 'WIDTH', "TECH_VALUE") AS ArticleAttributeWidth;
SQL SELECT *
FROM MST."MST_ITEM_DATA";

Now, I would like to couple this table to the first table so the structure is:

ITEM_ID, ITEM_CODE, ... , ArticlePreferredFromExcel, ArticleAttributeColor, ... ArticleAttributeWidth.

I tried using a LEFT JOIN to do this:

LEFT JOIN (Articles)
 LOAD *
RESIDENT ArticleAttributes;
DROP TABLE ArticleAttributes;

But this won't give me the result I want. Because it has to be possible to have multiple attributes to a single ITEM_CODE. At the moment, every ITEM_CODE has only one attribute. So it's not possible to make a multiple attribute selection in a multibox (for example).

Am I making a bad join or do I have to change the code in 'ArticleAttributes'?

Kind regards,

Did you try only JOIN (TABLENAME) instead of left join?

This didn't solve my problem, I still got 600K+ MST_ITEM_DATA items and 40K MST_ITEM_MAIN items. The MST_ITEM_DATA items have to be coupled to the MST_ITEM_MAIN items.
