Re: How to delete all my variables within an app - Qlik Community

Hi,

How can I delete all my variables within an app at once, rather than going through each and deleting them one by one?

Any insights or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Martin

Seems tough.

may help you doing like this?

I don't think it is possible to script this unfortunately!

Even a ctrl+a function in the variables window would be useful!

Nope, the script approach does not work in QS.

I think you will need an extension ...

I am a bit afraid this will become my only solution...

But unfortunately, the Variable API does not list a "delete" method..

There is no functionality as of now in Qlik Sense to delete all the variables at once.

I wish it were but for now we must follow the same old way.

Has anyone a solution?

We have thousends of variables and it is impossible to delete them manually.

Hi,

I don't think it will delete your variables but for future applications a very handy method to keep variables in Excel.

I know this works perfectly in QlikView. You can try for Qlik Sense as well. Declare variables in Script editor window using set analysis
