I have tables of goals for 2018 and 2019 in the model, which I chained, but I want to create a situation where every new goal file that arrives in a folder on the computer will be automatically chained to the model. That is, I have to create a loop and connection of all the data in an orderly manner.
I want to generate the script so that it is generic. that if a file from the year 2020 / 2021 is added for example to the folder - he will upload it to me as well.
I need to use a loop that will extract the year from the name of the file into a variable and use the variable to extract the appropriate tab from Excel.
How do I write the script?
Below script works for sharepoint as source for excel files:-
let vQwcConnectionName = 'lib://SharePoint_Connection_Test';
let vgetfileconnection = 'lib://GetExcelFiles';
Office365Connector_ListFiles:
LOAD
UniqueId as ListFiles_UniqueId
FROM [$(vQwcConnectionName)]
(URL IS [web connector URL, it tripped the spam filter so removing it], qvx);
for i=0 to NoOfRows('Office365Connector_ListFiles') - 1
let vField = Peek('ListFiles_UniqueId',$(i),'Office365Connector_ListFiles');
LOAD
*
FROM [$(vgetfileconnection)$(vField)]
(txt, utf8, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq)
;
NEXT i
I thank you very much for the answer and I am starting to work with the code and try to solve my problem
Could you please explain more what each line of code does?
Thank you
Hello ,
Please find comments against the lines to define code.
let vQwcConnectionName = 'lib://SharePoint_Connection_Test'; //SharePoint Connection String
let vgetfileconnection = 'lib://GetExcelFiles'; //Excel Files connection string
Office365Connector_ListFiles: //Table to fetch nos of excel files, there unique id
LOAD
UniqueId as ListFiles_UniqueId
FROM [$(vQwcConnectionName)]
(URL IS [web connector URL, it tripped the spam filter so removing it], qvx);
for i=0 to NoOfRows('Office365Connector_ListFiles') - 1 // loop to itereate for fetching details from each excel file
let vField = Peek('ListFiles_UniqueId',$(i),'Office365Connector_ListFiles'); //Name of each excel file
LOAD
*
FROM [$(vgetfileconnection)$(vField)] //Loading excel files from source
(txt, utf8, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq)
;
NEXT i
