VLOOKUP command in excel

[#1]

Good Morning, I'm new to QlikView.
I need help, could someone answer the following question?

Is there any command in QlikView that does the same function or similar to the "VLOOKUP" command in excel

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Try to use qlikview Mapping load and apply map function (It's basically it is just a Excel kind lookup function)

Don't join - use Applymap instead

Hope this helps you

Thanks,Deva

Hi,

there is a function called lookup......please see the definition below. I have used this in the script to perform a lookup, I am not sure whether it works through the UI if thats what you need

lookup( fieldname, matchfieldname, matchfieldvalue [, tablename] )

Returns the value of fieldname corresponding to the first occurrence of the value matchfieldvalue in the field matchfieldname.

Fieldname, matchfieldname and tablename must be given as strings (e.g. quoted literals).

The search order is load order unless the table is the result of complex operations such as joins, in which case the order is not well defined.

Both fieldname and matchfieldname must be fields in the same table, specified by tablename. If tablename is omitted the current table is assumed.

If no match is found, null is returned.

Example:

lookup('Price', 'ProductID', InvoicedProd, 'pricelist')

--> Apply map()

Here's a link to Steve Dark's blog on how to get the best from ApplyMap which has far more potential uses than just a VLOOKUP command
