Peek vs Previous - Use Last Number PLUS!!

[cpiocpio]

Hi all

I am back.

After an excellent response yesterday, I thought thats one in the bag, move on, but no.

The requirement has been extended.

Still generating missing dates, and repeating previous values but PER machine

So in the attched, i have used INLINE and out in only a few rows, in 3 coloumns

LOAD * INLINE [
    DataDate, MachineName, Mileage
    02/06/2009,SW81AA,638
    04/06/2009,SW88AA,1600
    05/06/2009,SW88AA,1600
    07/06/2009,33KM85,309
];

The required OUTPUT is, that it should repeat per Machine Name per day :

02/06/2009;"SW81AA";638

03/06/2009;"SW81AA";638

04/06/2009;"SW81AA";638

04/06/2009;"SW88AA";1600

05/06/2009;"SW88AA";1600

05/06/2009;"SW81AA";638

06/06/2009;"SW88AA";1600

06/06/2009;"SW81AA";638

07/06/2009;"33KM85";309

07/06/2009;"SW88AA";1600

07/06/2009;"SW81AA";638

Many thanks

I think this should do it:

Result:

LOAD * INLINE [

    DataDate, MachineName, Mileage

    02/06/2009,SW81AA,638

    04/06/2009,SW88AA,1600

    05/06/2009,SW88AA,1600

    07/06/2009,33KM85,309

];

Temp2:

load DataDate, MachineName, previous(DataDate) as NextDate, Mileage

Resident Result

order by DataDate desc;

MaxDate:

Load max(DataDate) as MaxDate

Resident Temp2;

LET vMaxDate = PEEK('MaxDate', 0, 'MaxDate');

DROP TABLE MaxDate;

Concatenate(Result)

Load Date(DataDate + IterNo()) as DataDate, MachineName, Mileage

Resident Temp2

while DataDate + IterNo() <= $(vMaxDate);

drop Table Temp2;

Or use Qlikview Components - A script library for Qlikview development

Result:

LOAD * INLINE [

DataDate, MachineName, Mileage

02/06/2009,SW81AA,638

04/06/2009,SW88AA,1600

05/06/2009,SW88AA,1600

07/06/2009,33KM85,309

];

CALL Qvc.GetFieldValues('vStats', 'DataDate');

LET Qvc.ExpandInterval.v.RangeCeiling = vStats.Max;

CALL Qvc.ExpandInterval('Result', 'DataDate', '', 'MachineName');

CALL Qvc.Cleanup

Hi Nicole

Good but not quite there, When a new value is supplied for an equipment type, then that is the value that should carry on, not OLD and new

It works up to a point until the
next reading is available then repeats new reading and old per day.

So you see when it gets to 21st, it starts repeating that days value but also repeats the earlier one

Input:

03/01/2014	02SE45	981
09/01/2014	02SE45	981
21/01/2014	02SE45	982
22/01/2014	02SE45	982

QV output:

03/01/2014	02SE45	981

As an exercice, I did the job yesterday but did not send you (there were many answers already)

It may help you

There is also a very interesting post by HIC about generating missing data.

Hi Aunez

Many thanks for this, it is looking promising.

Nice to have some comments in the script, to "guide us newbies"

Just pointed at some real data, and thats looks good to me to.

Now passed over to end user to check, will advise

Many thanks again

Mike

I had modified some your data to make more tests

But you will enter real data when tests are ok

Looks like you already got your answer, but here is my fixed solution just in case:

Result:

LOAD * INLINE [

    DataDate, MachineName, Mileage

    02/06/2009,SW81AA,638

    04/06/2009,SW88AA,1600

    06/06/2009,SW88AA,1700

    07/06/2009,33KM85,309

];

Temp2:

load DataDate, MachineName, if(MachineName=previous(MachineName),previous(DataDate)) as NextDate, Mileage

Resident Result

order by MachineName, DataDate desc;

MaxDate:

Load max(DataDate) as MaxDate

Resident Temp2;

LET vMaxDate = PEEK('MaxDate', 0, 'MaxDate');

DROP TABLE MaxDate;

Concatenate(Result)

Load Date(DataDate + IterNo()) as DataDate, MachineName, Mileage

Resident Temp2

while if(len(NextDate)>0, DataDate + IterNo() < NextDate, DataDate + IterNo() <= $(vMaxDate));

drop Table Temp2;

Mike,

Is it OK ? closed ?
