Load *, filename( ) as X from

Use filextension() for the extension

Hi JJ,

not sure if know what I mean - within QV document I got a tab named "Data". On this very tab there's script in which I would like to use tab name - Data - as a variable. Hopefully, it's clear now.

yes,

just make a variable.

as

set vtest = 'your tab name';

One thing, I would like to add here that tabs are different for just visual purpose only. for Qlikview there is no difference if you put your script in different tabs. because while executing it treats whole script as in one page only offcourse it is executed in a serial the way you put your tabs.

but, your script will not get to know in which tab this script is executing.

if you want to differentiate that then you can use one more variable and change its value with every tab.

hope it helps

I think the goal here (and what I'm trying to find out as well) is how to get the variable set to the current tab name without having to type it in manually.

Hi,

Use like this:

LET vTableName = 'XYZ';

Load * from $(vTableName);

Hi,

i just bring a stone to the building (one year after !! ;-)), and to get the current tab name without having to type it in manually, use this :

let vTableName = TableName(NoOfTables()-1); // must be created after the table

After you have just to call the variable in the Load (ex :

                                             load *

                                             resident $(vTableName);)

Those functions are more usefull in a loop in order to create a table with all the table names, to have all tables created during the script.
