distinct values

I have loaded data into qlikview from an csv file, from mysql.I have one column that is now showing double values.

I have it in a table box.

I would like it to show only distinct values, is there a way in Qlikview to write this into the script?

Hi Zainab

strange behavior according QlikView's rules.

By default QV stores values only once.

If you have for example your name "Zainab" coming from more than 1 record it will be stored only once  (ex :   Zainab = 17) . Others "Zainab" ecords will be related to 17.

So it maight be a difference (like blanks in front of the string or after) which gives a different results

"Zainab"

"Zainab "  look the same but are different

best regards

Another possibility is that you have dates or numbers that are truncated. For example if you have

'2014-02-03 00:00:00'

'2014-02-03 01:00:00'

and format these values as dates, you will have to values that both look like '2014-02-03'. If you want these the be shown only once, you need to truncate or round, e.g. by using Floor() or DayStart().
