I am relatively new to Qlik and my problem is around and issue with a field variable which I believe Qlik is treating as a No-Map issue from a Mapping Table.
I have a field called CoverType, within this filed there is a value Comprehensive - Mobility Scooter, Wheelchair (please note the comma after scooter is part of the value and not the map name. When I include this entry in a mapping table (eg Comprehensive - Mobility Scooter, Wheelchair, Comp_MSW) it returns an No-Map value. I understand why it is occurring (the comma after Scooter).
I have reviewed a number of other potential solutions online however, unfortunately I believe that it is one of these cases where the filed value with its unfortunately placed comma is not lending it to any solution that I have come across. I do have a solution to overcome this however it will create a significant amount of work and was hoping the Qlik guru's out there may have some solution to this dilemma.
Cheers in advance Wishman
A LOAD INLINE statement allows the optional specification of another delimiter character. You can set it to some character that you are sure it doesn't occur in your input data. Like for example, a tab character in
Mapping LOAD * INLINE [
RAAScheme_CoverType Group
Comprehensive - Car Comp_Car
Comprehensive - Lifetime Vehicle Replacement Comp_Car
Comprehensive - Caravan Comp_Cvn
Comprehensive - Mobility Scooter, Wheelchair Something
] (delimiter is '\t');
That way, the scripting engine will not treat commas as separators.
Note: everything - except $-sign substitutions - between the square brackets is treated as text. No expressions are evaluated.
