Exhibit.

One of the data sources a data architect must add for a newly developed app is an Excel spreadsheet. The Region field only has values for the first record for the region. The data architect must perform a transformation so that each row contains the correct Region.

Which function should the data architect implement to resolve this issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The given Excel spreadsheet has a Region field where the region value is only specified for the first record within each region. The data architect needs to fill in the missing region values for subsequent rows.

Previous() Function: The Previous() function in Qlik Sense returns the value of the expression from the previous row. In this case, it can be used to fill down the Region values so that each row contains the correct region information.

Implementation: The script can be designed to check if the current row's Region value is missing (null). If it is missing, the script can assign the value from the previous row using the Previous() function.

LOAD

If(IsNull(Region), Previous(Region), Region) AS Region,

...

This logic fills in the missing Region values with the value from the preceding row, which effectively resolves the issue shown in the spreadsheet.

Wait, is this a trick question? If the region values are only in the first row, then Previous is the only logical choice. Unless the data architect is a quantum physicist, that is.

Above? Really? That's like trying to solve a flat-earth problem with a hot air balloon. Previous is the clear winner here.

Yeah, using Above would just complicate things unnecessarily. Previous is the most logical choice.

I believe the data architect should consider using the IntervalMatch function instead. It might provide a better solution.

I agree with Vincenza. CrossTable function seems like the most appropriate choice for this scenario.

IntervalMatch? What is this, a logic puzzle? Previous is the answer, hands down.

I was thinking CrossTable, but that's probably overkill for this simple task. Previous is the way to go.

The Previous function seems like the obvious choice here. It will fill in the missing region values for each row based on the previous record.
