Loading XLSB file format into Qlikview

[tamilarasu]

                We have multiple xlsb format files and I want to load all of them in a single table. I have created ODBC connection but I can not find similar thread on how to load multiple files in single table.

Kaushik.solanki‌  I just see your threads regarding the xlsb format issue. Do you have any idea about this.?

Thank you in advance.

Jagan,

Attached some sample files.

Code:

ODBC CONNECT32 TO [Excel Files;DBQ=C:\Users\Tamilarasu.Nagaraj\Desktop\New folder (3)\1.xlsb];

Table:

SQL SELECT *

FROM `C:\Users\Tamilarasu.Nagaraj\Desktop\New folder (3)\1.xlsb`.`'Sheet1$'`;

Need to create a ODBC connection.

Kindly have a look. Thank you.

Hi,

I asked you to attach the code for loading single XLSB file, so that I will update the code with the For loop.

Hi,

Try this script

//to read each file from the specified folder

FOR EACH file in FileList('C:\Users\Tamilarasu.Nagaraj\Desktop\New folder (3)\*.xlsb');

//In order to get the file information from SQLtables command making use of the ODBC connection format

ODBC CONNECT32 TO [Excel Files;DBQ=$(file)];

Table:

SELECT *

FROM '$(file)'.'Sheet1$';

Next

Jagan,

       I was just checking my old threads and closing some of them. The solution which you have provided was really helpful but it did not read any xlsb files. I found an alternate solution and implemented the same in my application (Long back).

I have lots of qvw files in my system and I don't know the correct one. Anyways, I just did a check of your code and found this is working (And marked your answer as correct too).

For Each vFile in Filelist('$(vFolder)*.xlsb')

ODBC CONNECT32 TO [Excel Files;DBQ=$(vFolder)\vFile.xlsb];

Consolidated:

SQL SELECT *

FROM `$(vFile)`.`Sheet1$`;
