Associating Tables and Transforming Data – Syntax

Stacked preceding load blocks

Table association by field alias syntax
▪ Create or break table associations by aliasing fields in the table LOAD block
TableName:
▪ Syntax is:
o SourceFieldName AS TargetFieldName LOAD
Field_G * 100 AS Field_X;

Direction of row data

Data transformations LOAD
Field_E – Field_F AS Field_G;
▪ Transformation of data can occur:
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,
▪ Handle data in a row-by-row stream (except optimized QVD files) Field_B,
▪ Enable expression caliculatons to be performed on the Qlik Sense side Field_C,
Field_D
▪ Are best practice for loading data into Qlik Sense models
