on every reload save the maximum date in a qvd File

if your table is T

SortT:

noconcatenate

load * resident T order by Date asc;

drop table T;

let vLastDate = peek('Date',-1,'SortT');

Save:

Load $(vLastDate) as LastDate;

Autogenerate 1;

Store Save into File.qvd;

then on the successive reloads read everything from database where date is > the max Value the you read from QVD file saved

I can walk on water when it freezes

Hi,

Let vLast_reloadtime=reloadtime();

Table:

Load *

         from Tablename where date>($vLast_reloadtime);

or else Let vToday=today();

           Let  vPath= 'C:/'&($vToday);

Table1:

sql select * from Tablename;

store Table1 into ($vPath).xls;

Hi

Try this

SalesFolder:   //Here Your getting all the file names that are present in the source folder//

LOAD

    // RecNo() AS Records,

    FILENAME() AS KEY

FROM

[..\DATA\SALESREPORT *]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sales);

MAX_FILE:  // Using resident your loading only the file that has maxtimestamp//

LOAD

MaxString(KEY)  AS MAX_FILE

RESIDENT SalesFolder;

LET vMaxFile=peek('MAX_FILE','-1','MAX_FILE');  // Storing that maxfile in a variable//

DROP TABLE SalesFolder;

SalesFolderWithMaxDate: // loading only the file that has max timestamp from the source folder//

lOAD *

FROM

[..\DATA\$(vMaxFile)]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sales);

/*  U can Create a task by daily or hourly ( On qlikview Server) how your files are updated on the source folder */

Let me know if this works

Thanks
