How do you use a variable in a variable?

Hi all,

Is it possible to use a variable in a variable in QlikView?

E.g. I have variable A and I need to use Variable A inside a Variable B!

Yes, it's possible.

On Variable B expression, you can call variable A using $(VariableA).

Take a look on the attached file.

Hi ,

You can use any variable inside other variable.. by calling the variable with $ sign e.g. $(VariableA).

One more thing if your first variable is having aggregation formula in variable a then you have to put square bracket and call the variable e.g. [$(VariableA)]

Thanks

you can use variable inside the variable

suppose set vA=10; set vB=20; and vC=$(vA)+$(vB);

then in text box $(vC) will reuslt 30
