Load Where.

Currently I have a working Load where Statement as follows.

Where "SysDate" > '01/01/2015';

How do i add the following where it filter down unnecessary data.

Receipt Info.TxnType equal to 2 or 3 or 6

i have tried

Where "SysDate" > '01/01/2015' and Where [Receipt Info.TxnType] = 2,3,6;

Thanks Brett, Maybe i have had a brain freeze

Hi Brett,

LOAD *

FROM ABC

Where "SysDate" > '01/01/2015' and match([Receipt Info.TxnType],2,3,6);


Hope this helps.

Postgress documentation says that it does support an IN operator. The above syntax is (probably) right.

Tried suggested, still getting the following

Getting back the following error

You're still trying to stuff the match() function call in a SELECT statement. That SELECT statement will be sent as-is to your Postgress database which replies that it doesn't understand QlikView functions (match() is a QlikView function, not a SQL or DBMS function). Which is correct.

What happens if you try

SQL SELECT *

FROM PUB."PV_InvHistory"

WHERE ("SysDate" > '01/01/2015') AND ("Receipt Info.TxnType" IN (2,3,6));

Hi,

Filtering the data in the SQL itself is the best method, because you don't need to bring all the data into qlikview and then on top filtering it in Qlikview is not a good practice.  Usually it will take more time to load if data is huge.  So best method is

Data:

SQL SELECT *

FROM PUB."PV_InvHistory"

Where "SysDate" > '01/01/2015' and [Receipt Info.TxnType] IN (2,3,6);

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Jagan.
