Hi everyone,
Just for interest sake, what is the difference between using " " and [ ] when aliasing a column name in the backend script?
I always wondered about this, as both does the same thing.
The only thing I know is you cant use [ ] when adding an inline field.
Thanks and regards,
Stefan
Hi,
Both does the same.
Generally if your field name consists of two letters with space in between you will use one of the above 2 notation to handle the same in qlik.

Hi,
when you add it yourself, I guess there's no big difference - you would seldom use [], though ...
In the LOAD, the brackets are often added automatically when a fieldname has blanks.
You use quotes whenever you want something to be treated as a string.

There is an article on exactly that, see
Exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you Piet, much appreciated.
