Multiple Dates in multiple tables - Linking them

[#1]

Hi,

I'm new to QlikSense.

I have data in four sheets - "Booking","Posting","Expense","Hostel"

Each of these sheets contain multiple date columns:

Booking Table: [Booked Date],[Arrival Date],[Departure Date],[Void Date],[No Show Date],[Cancelled Date]

Posting Table: [Date]

Expense Table :[Voucher Date]

Hostel Table: [Date]

Can I combine these dates into a single calendar? I want to use date as a filter to calculate various fields from these tables.

Thanks

Hey Sunny T,

Can you help me out with this in a bit more detail?

Can you provide me with a script for creating this canonical date? Booking table should be the fine grain I think.

Provide me with the raw data and I might be able to help you out

Hey ,

(For reference I will use only 2 tables of yours, it is very similar for rest)

You can follow the following steps to do this : 

Step 1 : Create Date, month, year column using Date column in each table

Posting Table: 

Date([Date]) as Posting_date,

Month(Date([Date])) as Posting_month,

Year(Date([Date])) as Posting_year

Expense Table :

Date([Voucher Date]) as Expense_date,

Month(Date([Voucher Date])) as Expense_month,

Year(Date([Voucher Date])) as Expense_year

Step 2: Create a Link Table

Link_table_1 : 

Load Distinct 

Posting_date as Date,

Posting_month as Month,

Posting_year as Year

Resident [Posting table];

Concatenate Link_table_1

Load

Expense_date as Date,

Expense_month as Month,

Expense_year as Year

Resident [Expense table];

NoConcatenate

Step 3: Create a new table and drop the older one

LINK_TABLE:

Load

Date,

Month,

Year

Resident Link_table_1;

Drop Link_table_1;
