SUM Expression on qliksense

[#1]

Hi

I'm struggling with to produce a chart using the SUM expression on qliksense. I have a table

User      Hours     Minutes

Victor     1               30

Jack          2               00

Victor     3               00

I'm trying to do a sum of all the users and it doesn't seem to be as simple as SUM(hours). Can anyone please help me with this expression?

Kind Regards

What are you seeing when you do Sum(Hours) -> Make sure you are using the correct casing for hours fields (in QlikView and Qlik Sense Hours is different from hours)

‌hi, I'm using a capital H for Hours. do you suggest I change all the headings to small letters In the the excel spreadsheet?

[sunny_talwar]

No you don't have to. I just wanted you to make sure that you are using the correct case. What output do you see when you do Sum(Hours)?

Hi, I wanted to see the chart of the sum of hours each user has spent on a project

Hi,

Is hours is in number format or text format?

Try like this

Data:

LOAD

Num(Hours) AS Hours,

Num(Minutes) AS Minutes,

User

FROM DataSource;

Now use Sum(Hours)

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

jagan.

Use MakeDate to do this.

e.g :

Qlikcommunity:

Load * Inline

[

User, THour, Minutes

AA, 1, 30

BB, 2, 00

CC, 3, 30

];

Qlikcommunity1:

Load *,

Hour(THour) as THourr,

Minute(Minutes) as Minutess,

MakeTime(THour,Minutes) as NewTime

Resident Qlikcommunity;

drop Table Qlikcommunity;

Thanks,

Hi,

try using this

num#(Hours) as Hours and then use sum(Hours) as the expression.

Hi do i change the hours title on the spreadsheet to the num#(hours)

[reddy-s]

Hi Victory Obi,

You don't have to change the title in the spread sheet.

I wont you to make use of num#() function on the Hours fields in the load statement. This will convert a string to number.

so use this:

load x,

       y,

       num#(Hours) as Hours

from [LIB:\\.....\..];

Thanks,

Sangram.
