Hi,

Quite simple using the now() function and a variable or 2. See the attached QVW and see if thats what you wanted.

Hi,

Please, be careful when using now() because it can decrease the performance of your app and system as mentioned in QlikView help:

now( [ timer_mode] )

Returns a timestamp of the current time from the system clock. The timer_mode may have the following values:

0 Time at script run
1 Time at function call
2 Time when the document was opened

Defaulttimer_mode is 1. The timer_mode = 1 should be used with caution, since it polls the operating system every second and hence could slow down the system.

Hope this helps,

Erich

Hi Matt,

I'd be really interested in the timer function that you have created as well. I'm struggling to open the app, please would you help me?

When I open the .qvw file in QLIKSense Desktop, I receive the error: This app contains no data

Do you know what editor tab I need to enter to view your function?

Many thanks,

Will
