Troubleshooting 'Field not Found - <My Field

Hi QV Community!

I'm new to QV and exploring my way around. I've learned several tricks so far and I'm hoping someone can help me with a minor issue.

Twice now, after I've created a new field in one of a few tables I've loaded and attempted to re-format or include in downstream calculations, I get the Script Error: 'Field Not Found - <My Field>.

The examples are

  • The first new field that I created was a result of a mapped item and formatted as a date (Renewed On 2). When I attempted to convert this to fiscal quarter with this code, the script failed:
    • Key_Table:

    • Mapping LOAD [Old Entitlement Key] as [Entitlement Key],

    •      [Sales Order Date]

    • FROM ....excel file


      All_Data:

    • LOAD [Bill To],

    •      [End User],

           [Old Entitlement Key],

    •      [Item: Name],

    •      [Entitlement Key],

    •      ApplyMap('Key_Table',[Entitlement Key],'') as [Renewed On 2],

      Year([Renewed On 2])&'-'&'Q'& Ceil(Month([Renewed On 2])/3) as [Renewed On Quarter 3]

      FROM ....excel file


  • The second attempt was incorporating the newly calculated field (Actual duration) into script in order to create various categories in years as a new field:
    • ([End Date]-[Start Date])/365 as [Actual Duration],
    • IF([Actual Duration]<1.5,"1 Year",IF([Actual Duration]<2.5,"2 Years",IF([Actual Duration]<3.5,"3 Years",IF([Actual Duration]<4.5,"4 Years",IF([Actual Duration]<5.5,"5 Years",IF([Actual Duration]>5.5,"> 6 Years")))))) as term

And here are my failed attempts for resolution are:

  • Changing data format to date or number respectively
  • Forcing date change using Makedate function
  • Joining tables

Any recommendations or insights would be appreciated!!

Thanks QV community!
