Question by a "Green" user

[#1]

Hello all,

I've started working with Qlikview about two weeks ago so I'm really sorry about the silly question i'll present here. Please forgive me for my ignorance..

I have a code that looks like on my database:

1. 949848_9898989_3727

2. 9483_87_97987987987

0_98983_879898_2222

I want to seprate the code and have the value of the first number until the "_"

example:

in the first code the value is : "949848"

in the second : "9483"

in the last code : "0"

in Excel it's the "Text To Column" action that can help...but i want to know how to do it on Qlikview...

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance,

[swuehl]

In your above sample, are '1.' and '2.' part of your data or just indicating record numbers?

If latter, I think you could use subfield() function in your load to get the first part of each record:

LOAD

...

subfield(YOURFIELD,'_',1) as CodeValue,

...

from DBTable;

Hope this helps,

Stefan
