[pgalvezt]

Hello,

Pls, I need to read an excel file, What I want is extract "lunes, 15 de febrero de 2016" Transform in "15-02-2016". Then "15-02-2016" move to A8 in qlikview.

Same thing with the other date but (The final date) left in B8. And 1-6 files have to dissapear.

Thanks,

Hi,

Try this..

Directory;
Temp:
First 2
LOAD D
FROM
Test.xlsx
(ooxml, no labels, header is 4 lines, table is [What I Have]);

Let [Fecha Inicio]=Peek('D',0);
Let [Fecha Termino]=Peek('D',1);

DROP Table Temp;

Final:
LOAD '$(Fecha Inicio)' as [Fecha Inicio],
'$(Fecha Termino)' as [Fecha Termino],
TIT,
Nombre,
Port,
Dia1,
Dia2,
Dia3,
Dia4,
Dia5,
Dia6,
Dia7
FROM
Test.xlsx
(ooxml, embedded labels, header is 6 lines, table is [What I Have]);

Note:

You can convert Fecha Inicio, Fecha Termino  field to Date format based on your settings..

Hi settu_periasamy,

Thank you for your reply, Fecha Inicio show nothing.

I know that works, but doesn't work for me, I attached my xls and qvw.

Thanks!

Hi,

Like this?

DIRECTORY;

Temp:
First 2
LOAD @2
FROM
Test2.xls
(biff, no labels, header is 1 lines, table is GENERAL$);

Let [Fecha Inicio]=Peek('@2',0);
Let [Fecha Termino]=Peek('@2',1);

DROP Table Temp;

Final:
LOAD 
Date(Date#(replace(SubField('$(Fecha Inicio)',', ',-1),' de ',' '),'DD MMMM YYYY'),'DD_MM_YYYY') as [Fecha Inicio],
Date(Date#(replace(SubField('$(Fecha Termino)',', ',-1),' de ',' '),'DD MMMM YYYY'),'DD_MM_YYYY') as [Fecha Termino],
