Variable in Load Script

[Lisa2]

Hello, I am trying to make a variable in the load script but there are errors so I'm not sure if it is possible.  I would like to make a variable that is the sum of Items from a year range. 

Load:

Items,

Sum(Items where Year 2000 >= =< 2005 from excel file) as Range,

Location,

cost,

Year

From Excel File;

you have to use a group by.
Can you share a sample data  to share the exact answer?

Hi Lisa,

Please create a variable (say: vRentableArea) from Setting--> Variable Overview and set default value as 0.

Then write below the script to get the sum of field values and rename as name of the variable vRentableArea.

RentableArea:

LOAD
sum([Rentable Area (SqFt)]) As vRentableArea
FROM [..\Data\Report B.xls](biff, embedded labels) WHERE [Event Year Group] = '2020';

Let vRentableArea = Peek('vRentableArea',0,'vRentableArea');

Now load the script again and you can have the vRentableArea variable with expected value at front end.

Hope this will be a helpful solution.

Thanks
