HierarchyBelongsTo

This prefix is used to transform a hierarchy table to a table that is useful in a Qlik Sense data model. It can be put in front of a LOAD or a SELECT statement and will use the result of the loading statement as input for a table transformation.

Syntax:  

HierarchyBelongsTo (NodeID, ParentID, NodeName, AncestorID, AncestorName, [DepthDiff])(loadstatement | selectstatement)

 

The input table must be an adjacent nodes table. Adjacent nodes tables are tables where each record corresponds to a node and has a field that contains a reference to the parent node. In such a table the node is stored on one record only but the node can still have any number of children. The table may of course contain additional fields describing attributes for the nodes.

The prefix creates a table containing all ancestor-child relations of the hierarchy. The ancestor fields can then be used to select entire trees in the hierarchy. The output table in most cases contains several records per node.

An additional field containing the depth difference of the nodes can be created.

Arguments:  

Example:  

       ParentID,
