Preceding Load Is Elegant: Masters Summit For Qlikview

A preceding load is an elegant way to script parsing input like a number of key:value pairs from live data. The entire script to parse the input into fields populated with their matching values is simple and elegant. Now a chart can be built easily from the parsed data.
