I am new-ish to QLik sense, in that I have never touch the script before. I have manged to create a key to link two tables with two columns - i.e. when I view the data model viewer it looks right, also when I select a dimension of metric, the three fields are there - table1_col, table2_col, and merged col. However, where I am having the issue is when I try to do visualisation with the merged col.
I want a P&L table for my budget, actuals data. Both are in two separate sheets, and are based by month. So I have merged both month and product group (as that is what they have in common), please see below for the script. As stated previously, I can make metrics using table1_month and table2_month, but when I go to use the merged Key_month it does not work.
IS this able to be done in a P&L table? Or I may have made an error in the script. either way please help 🙂
Script in order of table 1 then table 2:
LOAD "Month" as "Month1", "Product ID", "Product - ISBN", "Product Name", "Commissioned by", "Royalty %", "Stock Levels", Medium, Category, Language, "Publication Date", "Volume per period", "Price (RRP in £", "Total Gross Value", "Total Discounts", "%", "Net Receipts", Royalty, Classification, "Product Type", "Category Group", "Description_Group" as "Description_Group1", autonumber(Month&'-'&Description_Group) as Key, 'Sales Data' as Type FROM [lib://mydata.xlsx] (ooxml, embedded labels, table is [Sales Data]);
LOAD "Budget Type", Category_Number, "Description_Group" as "Description_Group2", "Month" as "Month2", autonumber(Month&'-'&Description_Group) as Key, 'Budget_Forecast' as Type, "Budget Figures", "Forecast figures" FROM [lib://mydata2.xlsx] (ooxml, embedded labels, table is Budget_Forecast);
