QlikView difference between columns

Hello.

I am newbie to QlikView and would greatly appreciate any help. Because of my very busy schedule I am unable to dive deeper into the QlikView topics at the moment, so any suggestion would be of great value!

I have the following data structure:

ScenarioKPIValue
AK110
AK220
AK330
BK15
BK213
BK327

 

How could I achieve the following report?

KPIABDifference (A-B)
K11055
K220137
K330273

 

Thank you very much for your time and effort.

@kdavorin  if you need a sample solution in chart for 2 (A and B)

in dimension: KPI

measures1(A): =Only({<Scenario={'A'}>}Value)

measures B(B): =Only({<Scenario={'B'}>}Value)

measure(A-B): =Only({<Scenario={'A'}>}Value)-Only({<Scenario={'B'}>}Value)

output:

Taoufiq_Zarra_0-1629362960281.png

or other solution more global in Script using generic load :

Tmp:
 load KPI,Scenario,  Value INLINE [
    Scenario, KPI, Value
    A, K1, 10
    A, K2, 20
    A, K3, 30
    B, K1, 5
    B, K2, 13
    B, K3, 27
];

DATA:
 Generic LOAD * Resident Tmp;
 
CombinedGenericTable:

Load distinct KPI resident Tmp;

Drop Table   Tmp; 

FOR i = NoOfTables()-1 to 0 STEP -1

  LET vTable=TableName($(i));
  IF WildMatch('$(vTable)', 'DATA.*') THEN 

  LEFT JOIN ([CombinedGenericTable]) LOAD distinct * RESIDENT [$(vTable)];

  DROP TABLE [$(vTable)];

  ENDIF 

NEXT i

In chart: dimension KPI, A and B

measure A-B

 

output:

@Taoufiq_Zarra Thank you very much! That simple solution works perfect! 🙂

How do I achieve the same output, if my data structure is the following.

ScenarioKPISubKPI1SubKPI2Value
AK1-S2a3
AK1-S2b7
AK2-S2a11
AK2-S2b9
AK3S1aS2c4
AK3S1aS2d7
AK3S1bS2c10
AK3S1bS2d9
BK1-S2a2
BK1-S2b3
BK2-S2a6
BK2-S2b7
BK3S1aS2c2
BK3S1aS2d8
BK3S1bS2c11
BK3S1bS2d6

 

Thank you once again!

Taoufiq_Zarra

@Taoufiq_Zarra The expected output is the from the simple (first) solution. 

Taoufiq_Zarra

@kdavorin  what is the expected output from this input :

ScenarioKPISubKPI1SubKPI2Value
AK1-S2a3
AK1-S2b7
AK2-S2a11
AK2-S2b9
AK3S1aS2c4
AK3S1aS2d7
AK3S1bS2c10
AK3S1bS2d9
BK1-S2a2
BK1-S2b3
BK2-S2a6

@Taoufiq_Zarra The expected output is the same.

KPIABDifference (A-B)
K11055
K220137
K330273

 

It's just that the input data structure now contains some sub KPI's.

Taoufiq_Zarra

@kdavorin  just change Only to sum

in dimension KPI

measures1(A): =sum({<Scenario={'A'}>}Value)

measures B(B): =sum({<Scenario={'B'}>}Value)

measure(A-B): =sum({<Scenario={'A'}>}Value)-sum({<Scenario={'B'}>}Value)

output:
