Help with Master calendar script error in the Qlik Tutorial

I just tried the Qlik "Building an App" tutorial and found myself with a script error while creating the master calendar. Is it user error on my part, or is there indeed a typo in the tutorial. Any help in getting past this would be greatly appreciated. Here's the error message:


Script line error: : TempCalendar: LOAD DATE( + ROWNO() -1) AS TempDate AUTOGENERATE - +1

And here's my script code that I copy/pasted from page 33 of "Qlik Sense Tutorial - Building an App.pdf"

LET varMinDate = NUM(PEEK('Date',0,'Sales data'));

LET varMaxDate = NUM(PEEK('Date',-1,'Sales data'));

TempCalendar:

LOAD

DATE($(varMinDate) + ROWNO() -1) AS TempDate

AUTOGENERATE $(varMaxDate) - $(varMinDate) +1;

// Create the Master Calendar

MasterCalendar:

LOAD

DATE(TempDate) AS Date,

WEEK(TempDate) AS Week,

YEAR(TempDate) AS Year,

MONTH(TempDate) AS Month,

DAY(TempDate) AS Day,

INYEARTODATE(TempDate,'2014-03-31', 0) *-1 AS CYTDFlag,

INYEARTODATE(TempDate,'2013-03-31',0) *-1 AS LYTDFlag,

DATE(MONTHSTART(TempDate), 'MMM-YYYY') AS MonthYear,

'Q' & CEIL(MONTH(TempDate)/3) AS Quarter,

WEEK(TempDate)&'-'&YEAR(TempDate) AS WeekYear,

WEEKDAY(TempDate) AS WeekDay

Thanks Rob. I make the changes to the peek functions and that fixed it. As a complete first-timer trying the product out, and attempting to simply follow the provided instructions, I really appreciate that there's this community to help me get past mistakes in the material. Thanks to all!
