It works fine. I tried on v9 SR6 via ODBC. Maybe your SELECT is wrong or it's an OLE problem.

Could you post a script excerpt?

Hi Ralf,

I am using the below Query. Please correct me if i am wrong

SQL SELECT
"ID",
(TO_CHAR((TO_DATE('01/01/1970 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') + ((SDATE)/(60*60*24))))) As SDATETIME,
Lead((TO_CHAR((TO_DATE('01/01/1970 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') + ((SDATE)/(60*60*24)))))) OVER (ORDER BY (TO_CHAR((TO_DATE('01/01/1970 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') + ((SDATE)/(60*60*24)))))) as Newdate
FROM TABLEA
WHERE ID=1 AND SUS =5 AND (TO_CHAR((TO_DATE('01/01/1970 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') + ((MDATE)/(60*60*24)))))>=(TO_DATE('01/01/2011 00:00:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));

Hi,

QlikView works like this:

Load Fieldname, ..,
Function(fieldname) As fieldname2;
SQL Select *
from Table
Where ...;

that means you have to enter the function into the Load-statement not into the SQL Select!

Sure, I would do it in a different way, inside out:

LEAD(SDATE) OVER(ORDER BY SDATE)


..and make the calculation outside.

Btw, the LEAD part of your statement is working on my site in QV 9.

So, did you try the query against the database?

Hi Ralf,

I have used the way you had given in the previous Query.It is just the conversion within the date. I am getting missing parenthesis error. I am also using the Qlikview 9.00 SRS 6.00 version. Can u post the complete sql statement of my Sql Query.
