Qlikview Tutorial - Star Schema Model Part-2-of-40

Qlikview Tutorial - Star Schema Model Part-2-of-40

In this video, we will create Star Schema in Qlikview

1- We have a Star Schema, with a Fact table and 3 Dimension Tables.

Let's take a look at the model in SalesDatabase.

2- Open Qlikview

6- Click on the "Select" button to pull the required tables.
7- Click on Reload.
8- Click on the Table viewer (Ctrl + T). 
Please note that Qlikview uses the column names to JOIN / identify relationships.

9- For joining two tables with different columns uses aliases. 
You can specify alias name "as [<column_name>]" e.g: "as [Time]"
Modify the script to add aliases.

10- Press reload & click on OK.
Go back to table viewer & you can see the joins getting created.

11- Add a List Object and display data by Product Category, Country, Year, Sales Amount & Quantity.
