Subtraction in Load Statement

Hello all,

I would like to subtract two columns in a load statement and using a Group By.

I find a lot of documentation about the SUM in a Load statement but none about a Difference.

Please could you tell me if it's possible to do that in QVW.

 

Many thanks in advance for your help.

If you do need to aggregate on a dimension, let's say Dim1 you could do this.

Load

Dim1,

//Dim2, 

Sum(Value1 - Value2 ) as Value

From MyData

Group by Dim1 ;

You dont need group by to subtract two fields in a data load.

Load

Dim1,

Dim2, 

Value1 - Value2 as Value

From MyData;

Perhaps this?

T1:

Load ID, Sales, Sales1 From Table;

Final:

NoConcatenate

Load ID, sum(Sales)-Sum(Sales1) as Diff Resident T1 Group By ID;

Drop Table T1;
