How to make new variable?

[#1]

Good day QlikCommunity,

Is it possible to make a new variable? I want to create a variable Sum if I add my TotalPay and penalty.

Please leave your comment and advice.

Thanks in advance

Could you give more details?

Do you want to create this variable in scrip or front end?

Hi Robert,

I want to create the Sum of TotalPay and Penalty on Script.

By the way here is the table. My expression on the sum is TotalPay+penalty, Is it possible to create a new variable to use it as an expression?

Hi,

We can create variable in 2 ways:

Alt+Ctrl+V(Variable Overview) click on new variable->value

Using Set and Let in script.

Hi Suri,

I provided the table up there. I want to know is it possible to make a variable and use it to expression to show the Sum of two data.

Hi Sasi,

can you teach me how it is done in script??

[vardhancse · Accepted solution]

Yes we can create one variable:

Variable Overview(Ctrl+Alt+v) new variable

vExpression

Value: TotalPay + penalty

In chart expression use variable instead of expression: $(vExpression)

[vardhancse]

in script,

enter like SET vExpression=TotalPay + penalty;

and after reload only we can use the variable.

In chart expression use variable like $(vExpression) instead of direct expression.

Or else u can add variabel using variable overview as well and for this not required any reload.
