Is there any tool to display where a certain field is used?
I've got many, many QV files. Some of them are based on the same data source (either database and/or Excel sheets). Is there any tool I could use to see whether a certain field is used in the documents or not. E.g. let's assume there is a field "Total Amount" then I want to see where (in which QV document) this field is used.
As far as I'm aware there isn't a tool as such to do the job you need.
The best solution for this would be to use Informatica or sinilar to provide you with a full data lineage from souce to -QVX - however Informatica is very expensive so only really an option in larger organisations.
Alternatively my Sea Trials app: http://community.qlik.com/message/135809#135809 could be modified to export it's list of 'Used Fields' which could then be combined with outputs for other .qvw's to produce a full picture.
