LOAD
Field_G * 100 AS Field_X;

Data transformations
LOAD

• Transformation of data can occur: Field_E – Field_F AS Field_G;
o On a source database server, prior to loading into Qlik Sense
o On the Qlik Sense side, as data is received (preferred method) LOAD
• Use powerful Qlik Sense functions in the table preceding LOAD block Field_A + Field_B AS Field_E,
Field_C * Field_D AS Field_F;

Preceding load blocks SQL SELECT

• Can access any of the fields passed up from the block below Field_A,
Field_B,
• Handle data in a row-by-row stream (except optimized QVD files)
Field_C,
• Enable expression caliculatons to be performed on the Qlik Sense side Field_D
