Read data from Excel file in Load Script

Hey folks,

I'm pretty new with Qlik.

Task:

     I want to read in the following Excel row by row.

     Because the values of each row belong together.

Problem:

     Qlik conclude my data per column.

     In column C (Datei / Tabelle) Qlik is not showing 7 times 'UBPERP', instead there is only one time 'UBPERP'.

     It seams like Qlik is loading each column distinct.

    

My Code:

     Here is my code including the debug information in the comments.

Question:

     How can I prevent Qlik from loading distinct?

     Or is there any other approach to do this?

Hi Emanuel,

Qlikview by default it stores distinct data only. when you open list box of column C (Datei / Tabelle), it shows only distinct values. but internally all records are associated with it. If you want to see data exactly as it is in excel, add all coloumns into "Table box".

Hey Ashok,

thanks for your quick response.

So Qlik is working as I already assumed.

I know how to see all data (e.g. usage of a table box).

But I need these data in the load script.

Because I have to know the value of column 'D' with the value of column 'C'.

E.g. in line 7 => table 'UBPERP' has a field with the name: 'UPYPDP'.

If I know this I can prepare a SQL-Request which selects UPYPDP from UBPERP and save the response in a QVD.

In short: This Excel file is an abstract version of my data model. Thus I want to parse the Excel, request the data from the SQL-Database and save them in a QVD-File. The current problem is that I have no reference between the column in the load script.

Do you have any ideas how to do this?
