Master measure extension number format with % not working

[goos_it]

Hey, Guys,

I´m trying to have a master measure created via extension. I want the number format to be the standard format with format string "0,00%" (german layout), but it doesn´t work. I´m always getting a master measure with an empty number format string (correctly labeled as "Number" German: Zahl).

My parameters are:

 "qNumFormat": {
"qType": F,
"qnDec": 2,
"qUseThou": 0,
"qFmt": 0,00%,
"qDec": , ,
"qThou": .
}
I´m sure it has something to do with the qFmt, but no matter how many single or double quotes i use, it still won´t accept it.

If i do the same with the money format, It works (meaning it shows my format string an the number type money.

How can I get qlik to give this measure the standard format for  a %-number (I know there is a way to make it a user-defined format which ignores the given standard formats and uses the format string, but this isn´t what I want to achieve because it will erase the qlik-functionality of interpreting a number 0.1 as 10% (with a full custom number format it will give me 0.1%...).

Thanks for all your suggestions and thoughts!

Hi @goos_it , try to use this for creating your master measure. It will create a new master measure with your format

{
        "qInfo": {
            "qType": "measure",
            "qId": "ZRPVLb"
        },
        "qMetaDef": {
            "title": "Test Format 2",
            "description": "",
            "tags": []
        },
        "qMeasure": {
            "qLabel": "Test Format 2",
            "qDef": "sum(Expression2)",
            "qLabelExpression": "",
            "isCustomFormatted": false,
            "qNumFormat": {
                "qType": "F",
                "qnDec": 2,
                "qDec": ",",
                "qThou": ".",
                "qFmt": "0,00%"
            },
            "coloring": {}
        }
    }

This is what I have after I created the master measure with engine API
