Hello,
I am facing issue while pulling data from MS SQL to Qlikview - Some data values are getting converted to different values.
For example: we have a field [Material ID Orig] '000000000000657499' stored in MS SQL table, a view has been created on this table having new derived field [Material ID] '657499' calculated as below in MS SQL view:
CASE WHEN [Material ID Orig] not like '%[^0-9]%'
THEN CAST(CAST([Material ID Orig] AS BIGINT) AS VARCHAR(18))
ELSE [Material ID Orig]
END AS [Material ID]
When we pull [Material ID] from MS SQL view to Qlikview Extract and store it QVD, '657499' Material ID shows its value as ‘3700-0002-0030’.
Managed to get back its desired value in Qlikview as '657499' by using below script in Qlikview editor:
if(len(KeepChar([Material ID Orig], '1234567890')) = len([Material ID Orig]), Evaluate([Material ID Orig]& '* 1'), text([Material ID Orig]))
Same is happening with few more [Material ID Orig] values like '658326E0' showing as '658326'.
I am guessing this conversion of values is due to datatype being getting converted while pulling data from MS SQL to Qlikview.
Please let me know how can this avoided since i don't want to re-calculate this field in Qlikview. Thank you.
