Hello All,
I got a requirement which is like a bit tricky. Please bear with me to explain.
Actually I am pulling data from SAP BW system into a QVD file which runs in weekly basis.
Now the requirement is the data which is pulled in every week will rewrite the existing data for the entire month. However, as soon as the month changes the data of next month will be appended to the previous month and stored in QVD.
Say for example: Report gets run in the first week of March and data is stored in qvd. When it will run in the second week it should rewrite the data of first week and likewise. After running the last week data of March and started for first week of April then it should store data of entire March month and append the data of First week of April.
Again when report is running for April it should work as the same as March means data will rewrite for April month but the March data will be as it is. Data storing is considered in qvds.
Month - March
Data load - 1st week of March
2nd week of March - data rewrite
3rd week of March - data rewrite
4th week of March - data rewrite
Month changes to April. Now March data should be stored as it is. It should not rewrite when data loaded for April month.
Month - April
Data load - 1st week of April - Fresh data of April month need to be added to previous month.
2nd week of April - data rewrite and like wise.
Can anyone please suggest how to achieve this requirement. What could be the correct approach to do.
Let me know if any of that needs clarification.
Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Ipsita, I think you are looking for incremental load, in qlik help tehre are code samples for different cases:

Hi,
I think extracting data from every months start date will be something you require.
So for week 1 in every month you will get fresh data and in subsequent weeks loading from start of the month will rewrite as you want to. As mentioned by Ruben, you will have to couple this with incremental load techniques based on nature of your data.
