Hi,

Qlikview doesnot understand the space as field header. Instead of using Embeded Label use explicit label and define your labels after loading.

Hope this will help

Hi Antony,

Use this script to rename your missing fields with MissingField1, MissingField2 etc. if too many to rename. Ensure you have a RowNo() in your data table to identify the top row which needs deleting.

Data:
LOAD
  RowNo() AS Hdr,
  @1, ...

FROM
[test_customer.csv]
(txt, codepage is 1252, no labels, delimiter is ',', msq);

let fldCount = NoOfFields('Data');

let fldMissing = 1;

For c = 2 to fldCount // ignore col 1 as the link

let fldName = FieldName('$(c)','Data');
let fldValue = FieldValue('$(fldName)',1);

if fldValue = '' then
  let fldValue = 'MissingField' & '$(fldMissing)';
  let fldMissing = fldMissing +1;
end if;

RENAME FIELD '$(fldName)' to '$(fldValue)';

Next c;

right keep (Data)
load Hdr resident Data where Hdr <>1;

DROP FIELD Hdr;

Hi flipside,

   Just wondering why you need a RowNo() as the first field. I deleted it and it works fine as well. Could you explain me that? Thank you.
