ICubeMetaLoaderBinding.FillGaps

Syntax

FillGaps: Boolean;

Description

The FillGaps property determines whether to fill hollow spaces in values that are obtained on importing joined cells from *.xls format. True - to fill hollow spaces in values, False - do not fill.

Example

Executing the example requires a time series database with the OBJ_FC identifier and the time series export file C:\Fixed.xlsx. Also, the repository must contains an MDM repository with the MDM_REPO identifier. This repository should have dictionaries with the DICT_CTR, DICT_IND and UNITS identifiers. The COUNTRY attribute of the time series database refers to the DICT_CTR dictionary, the INDICATOR attribute is a link to the DICT_IND dictionary, and measurement units refer to the UNITS dictionary.

The C:\Fixed.xlsx file, for which the example is created.

After executing the example factors are exported from the C:\Fixed.xlsx file. Hollow spaces are filled on values export from the joined cells.
