You can put a conditional delete clause in enable transformation during loading.

One way of doing is as below and hope this helps:

Data:
Load SubField(oneline,',',1) as F1,
SubField(oneline,',',2) as F2,
SubField(oneline,',',3) as F3
;
 
Load *
where not WildMatch(oneline,'*india*','*Dummy*','*Input*','*F1*','*F2*','*F3*')
And Len(Trim(oneline)) > 0
;
LOAD @1:n as oneline
FROM
[COMMUNITY TXT.txt]
(
fix, codepage is 1252, no labels);

Or maybe like this with only using the File Wizard:

LOAD F1,

     F2,

     F3

FROM

(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', no quotes, header is 6 lines, no eof, filters(

Remove(Row, RowCnd(CellValue, 2, StrCnd(null)))

))

where F1<>'F1' and F2<>'F2' and F3<>'F3';

Hi Venkey,

Please find the attached Qlikview document and also find the below Script. I have used the Enable transformation step feature in Qlikview to load this file. You can watch the below video for the explanation of this feature (Link attached). Please let me know if you need an explanation on the below script.

Hands-on Example "DataTransformation in Qlikview" - YouTube

Directory;

LOAD F1,

     F2,

     F3

FROM

COMMUNITY TXT.txt

(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq, header is 6 lines, filters(

Remove(Row, RowCnd(CellValue, 1, StrCnd(contain, 'india'))),

Remove(Row, RowCnd(CellValue, 1, StrCnd(contain, 'dummy'))),

Remove(Row, RowCnd(CellValue, 1, StrCnd(contain, 'input'))),

Remove(Row, RowCnd(Compound,

RowCnd(CellValue, 1, StrCnd(contain, 'F1')),

RowCnd(Interval, Pos(Top, 2), Pos(Bottom, 1), Select(1, 0))

)),

Remove(Row, RowCnd(CellValue, 2, StrCnd(null)))

));

Thanks,

One more way of doing it without file wizard  . Assuming the field F1 will be in number format

LOAD F1,

     F2,

     F3

FROM

[Qlik Community development\qlikcommunitypassword.txt]

(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq, header is 6 lines)

where IsNum(F1);
