Why is this an invalid expression?

[#1]

Hi, I'm just getting into QlikView and trying to learn.....  I cannot see the error in the following expression, even thought I know it must be simple.    Suggestions?     Thanks,        Tee

LOAD count(SURGEON) as cases, 
     FACILITY_NAME, 
     Year, 
     Month
From
D:\Documents\QlikView\t_SampleData.xlsx
(ooxml, embedded labels)
where FACILITY_NAME like '*South' and Year = '2011' 
Group by  SURGEON,Month;

Try

Group by  FACILITY_NAME, Year, Month;

Hi,

You have to write

LOAD count(SURGEON) as cases,

     FACILITY_NAME,

     Year,

     Month

From

t_SampleData.xlsx

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1)

where FACILITY_NAME = 'South' and Year = 2011

Group by  FACILITY_NAME, Year, Month;

Thanks,  that suggestion worked..  Now I'm wondering why?

hi,

You cannot group by over a field you use in an expression. That's normal, because you want to count or sum this field. You always have to group by over all the other fields.

More details you find in the manuel help under the capitel "script".
