loading multiple excel files

[david_ze]

Hi All, I'm loading mutiple excel files with the same tables by using the script below:

For each ExcelFile in filelist ('*.xls')

My_data:

Load * From $(ExcelFile) (biff, embedded labels, header is 1 lines, table is Sheet1$);

Next ExcelFile;

The result of the reload is that Qlikview creates synthetic keys for each filed multiple by the number of files.
I'll appreciate your advice on how to avoid the synthetic keys.
Regards
David

Assuming all files are the same and that each file only contains one of each field name (ie no duplicate field names) then:

My_Data:

LOAD

  *

FROM  C:\<path>\*xls...;

That should work.

Hope this helps,

Jason

Try something like

My_data:

Load null() as somefield

autogenerate(0);

For each ExcelFile in filelist ('*.xls')

concatenate(My_data)

Load * From $(ExcelFile) (biff, embedded labels, header is 1 lines, table is Sheet1$);

Next ExcelFile;

drop field somefield;
