connecting tables made with linked key fields

(new to qlik, coming from the ACL world.  sorry if this is remedial)

my boss made me an excel file which has the keys/unique fields for every other table.  I need to read this in and then read in (and i'll do it manually since i'm short on time) all these other tables.  how do I link them, through the unique field key table which has all unique fields, in qlik where table A will have the unique key ABC and then data for ABC and table B will have unique key of DEF and data for it, and we want to be able to link them of table A->key table for key for A, B->table B, to on the fly?

thanks

You can make use of aliasing (refer below sample script):

A:

LOAD * INLINE [

ABC, Id

123, 1

456, 4

789, 7

];

B:

LOAD DEF AS ABC, Value INLINE [

DEF, Value

123, 1000

456, 4000

789, 7000

];

what I had to do was create the inner table then the "spokes" had the same header field so qlik automatically linked all the tables.  What I did was then create bar charts with "date" (not date time, 500 per day) on the X axis and stacked bar charts on the other.

How do I change scales though - where one measurement is "available megabytes" and one is "% of total page space"?  the scales are completely off, of each other, so how do I scale down one, so the bar charts are meaningful?

thanks
