Inline Syntax

http://qlikviewdev.blogspot.com/2013/01/inline-table.html

The Inline is a interesting concept in QlikView. This will be useful when the data is static and it will avoid a  database hit . 

Syntax:
load [ distinct ] *fieldlist
[( from file [ format-spec ] | 
from_fieldfield [format-spec] 
inline data [ format-spec ] ] 
[ where criterion ] | while criterion ]
[ group_by fieldlist ] 
[order_by field [ sortorder ] { , field [ sortorder ] } ] 

Example:
We all know the budgeting system has only three accounting types (Actual, Budget and Projection) for analysing the data. So if we want to show it in the dropdown select or list box we can hard code it using the Inline table.

Inline:

Load * Inline [Account_Type

Actual,

Budget,

Projection];

Output:

Table: Inline

Account_Type

Actual

Budget

Projection

As the data is already known and static this Inline function saves a database hit.
