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?

DIntervalMatch

Show Suggested 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.

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.
