LET vLocationValueList = ''; FOR i=0 to NoOfRows('MyLocationField')-1 LET vLocationValueList=vLocationValueList & PEEK('LocationField',i,'MyLocationField') & ','; NEXT i; LET vLocationValueList = LEFT(vLocationValueList, LEN(vLocationValueList)-1); TRACE $(vLocationValueList);

This snippet of code is likely written in Qlik Sense/QlikView script, and it performs the following actions:

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. LET vLocationValueList = '';

    • It initializes an empty string variable called vLocationValueList. This variable will be used to store a concatenated list of values.
  2. FOR i=0 to NoOfRows('MyLocationField')-1

    • A FOR loop starts, iterating through all rows of the table or dataset called MyLocationField.
    • NoOfRows('MyLocationField') returns the total number of rows in MyLocationField, and the loop runs from 0 to NoOfRows - 1 (since index i starts at 0).
  3. PEEK('LocationField',i,'MyLocationField')

    • The PEEK() function reads the value in the field LocationField from the MyLocationField table at row index i.
    • If the field LocationField exists, it extracts the value at the ith row.
  4. Concatenating values into vLocationValueList:

    • Each value extracted using PEEK() is appended to vLocationValueList using &, followed by a comma , as a delimiter.

    Example:

    • Suppose the values in your LocationField column are "A", "B", and "C". After this loop, vLocationValueList becomes:
      A,B,C,
      
  5. NEXT i;

    • Moves to the next iteration of the loop.
  6. Trimming the last comma:

    • LET vLocationValueList = LEFT(vLocationValueList, LEN(vLocationValueList)-1);

      • Removes the trailing comma , from vLocationValueList by taking a substring of the list from the first character to the second-to-last character.

      Final value of vLocationValueList:

      A,B,C
      
  7. Trace the result:

    • TRACE $(vLocationValueList);
      • Outputs the final concatenated list of values to the script log for debugging or information purposes.
      • In the example, the log will display:
        A,B,C
        

What does the code do?

  • The code creates a comma-separated string of all values in the LocationField column from the MyLocationField dataset, stores it in the variable vLocationValueList, and outputs it to the log.
