It is not necessary one
1. when you uncheck Relative Paths option.the select Table file path look like full path.
LOAD
A,
B
FROM
C:\Users\kumar.natarajan\Desktop\sheet.xlsx
(

Hi,

It will be complete path and Relative Path,

  • Complete entire path of the file, for example

     E:\Apps\Data\YourData\SalesData.txt

  • Relative path means, you need to give the path based on the current paths of your,

     For example your .qvw is  in the    E:\Apps\Dashboard\Your.QVW    ,

     Then for that Data file is in the E:\Apps\Data\YourData\SalesData.txt

     Relative path will be,

..\Data\YourData\SalesData.txt     


i.e    ..\, mean that go back one folder level back.

(Checking relative path is not necessary)
