This snippet of code is likely written in Qlik Sense/QlikView script, and it performs the following actions:
Step-by-step explanation:
-
LET vLocationValueList = '';
- It initializes an empty string variable called
vLocationValueList
. This variable will be used to store a concatenated list of values.
- It initializes an empty string variable called
-
FOR i=0 to NoOfRows('MyLocationField')-1
- A
FOR
loop starts, iterating through all rows of the table or dataset calledMyLocationField
. NoOfRows('MyLocationField')
returns the total number of rows inMyLocationField
, and the loop runs from 0 toNoOfRows - 1
(since indexi
starts at 0).
- A
-
PEEK('LocationField',i,'MyLocationField')
- The
PEEK()
function reads the value in the fieldLocationField
from theMyLocationField
table at row indexi
. - If the field
LocationField
exists, it extracts the value at thei
th row.
- The
-
Concatenating values into
vLocationValueList
:- Each value extracted using
PEEK()
is appended tovLocationValueList
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,
- Each value extracted using
-
NEXT i;
- Moves to the next iteration of the loop.
-
Trimming the last comma:
-
LET vLocationValueList = LEFT(vLocationValueList, LEN(vLocationValueList)-1);
- Removes the trailing comma
,
fromvLocationValueList
by taking a substring of the list from the first character to the second-to-last character.
Final value of
vLocationValueList
:A,B,C
- Removes the trailing comma
-
-
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 theMyLocationField
dataset, stores it in the variablevLocationValueList
, and outputs it to the log.
