Question for the Experts:Are numeric comparisons and clauses better than string value in Qlik Sense?

Hi,

Are numeric comparisons and clauses better than string value?

If so, why?

For examples instead of Sum({<Company={"Nike"}>}Sales)

Alternative:

Sum({<CompanyID={1}>}Sales)

Don't know if there is a noticable performance difference. But You should use single quotes ' '  When checking for strings. Double quotes " " Are used for Searching values. With Wildcards for example.

Thanks for the tip on quotes!

If anyone can help with answering the numeric vs string it would be great.

Always! Numeric comparison would be faster than string comparison.
