Scenario:
Load Script:
SET vLocale = 'EN';
SET MoneyFormat = '$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)'; // defaults to EN
IF '$(vLocale)' = 'ES' THEN
SET MoneyFormat = '€ #.##0,00;-€ #.##0,00';
END IF
Then I created a page, and created a few money fields.
Loaded data, and all worked fine!
So far, so good...
And then I changed the vLocale to ES.
Loaded the app and reloaded the data...
Money format updated to ES format.
But... the fields i had created on the sheet with money, still show old formatting. Seems like Qlik Sense hard codes the money (for this matter, date too) as a hard coded string, rather than taking it from the variable.
This is counter productive, cos I would need to go to every created field, and manually change them to auto/money again to update the formatting string.
Is there any other way of doing this where I can update the displayed format on the fly.
I do not want to go and type an expression in the data field, that option is ruled out. There are heavy calculations going on there already, and would prefer a non intrusive approach.
