Join tables with condition

[#1]

Hi!

I want to join the next tables:

Table1:

YEAR	T1_ID	ID	DENOM
2012	1	1111	Denomination1
2012	1	2222	Denomination1
2012	2	1111	Denomination2
2012	2	3333	Denomination2

Table2:

YEAR	T2_ID	ID
2012	1	1111
2012	1	2222
2012	2	1111
2012	3	1111
2012	3	3333
2012	3	4444

The target that I have to reach:

YEAR	T2_ID	ID	DENOM
2012	1	1111	Denomination1
2012	1	2222	Denomination1
2012	2	1111
2012	3	1111	Denomination2
2012	3	3333	Denomination2
2012	3	4444

So I have to check that each T2_ID have all ID from Table1, to take DENOM value. For example, T2_ID = 2, has no DENOM value because only with ID = 1111 is not possible. It would be necessary another row with ID = 2222 or ID = 3333.

However, T2_ID = 3, with ID in (1111, 3333), take Denomination2 value although it's not available for all rows (ID = 4444).

How can I do that in the script?

Thanks!

Hi,

you say "For example, T2_ID = 2, has no DENOM value because only with ID = 1111 is not possible." - T2_ID =2 has an ID = 1111, and a YEAR=2012, so it has Denom1 and Denom2 in Table1.

I'm afraid I have not understood your requirements...

Table 1 works like an group with fields YEAR-T1_ID. So, T2_ID = 1 matchs in group 1 (T1_ID = 1).

However, T2_ID = 2 don't match with any group because it needs ID = 2222, to get Denomination1, or ID = 3333, to get Denomination2.

I hope I have explained better.

Thanks!

In addition, I need to do this because I want that when user choose "Denomination1", it only appears T2_ID = 1.

Without this join, if user choose ID values 1111 and 2222, it will appear all T2_ID values and I don't want that.

I have looked for in forums but I have not found a solution for this issue. On the other hand, there isn't an easy way to select dimension values and works like an AND clause. I have seen in the web a similar example to change the selection mode. This example solves the problem with the selection mode when you select different dimensions, but I want to change the mode when I select an only dimension.

When I select, for example, two values in a dimension I want the AND mode not the OR mode.

Hi Qlikviewers!

I keep thinking about how to solve this problem.

Do you think it's better change the sql views that I have now?

Thanks!

Hello,

Just to check if I hve understood correctly: all values YEAR and ID from table2 need to be in Table1 ?

[#8]

No, it's not necessary.

For example, ID = 4444 is not in Table1.

Hello again,

I am sorry but I do not understand the rules that make a record in the resultant table. Could you please explain where does every record in the resultant table come from?

Thanks.

Hi again:

Ok, I write the conditions of the example (the colors show the groups):

• Table1 has two groups (YEAR-T1_ID). Each group has the same DENOM value.
• Table2 has three groups (YEAR-T2_ID)
• Target table and Table2 must have the same number of records.
• For the first group of Table2, I have to check that ID values (1111, 2222) match with a group of Table1. In this case, it gets Denomination1.
• For the second group of Table2, I have to check that ID value (1111) math with a group of Table1 but it's not possible because there isn't a group with only 1111.
• For the third group of Table2, I have to check that ID values (1111, 3333, 4444) match with a group of Table1. In this case, ID values 1111 and 3333 math with T1_ID = 1, so it gets Denomination2 (only for ID values 1111 and 3333).

Thanks!
