Variables

[svsudhakar]

Hi ,

Is any possible to copy the variables from one application to another application ?

Ex:

I have created more than 100 variables in my application. I have to copy all variables from one app to  another application. Please suggest on this.

Regards,

Sudhakar

Unfortunately it is not possible,

the solution is to create variables in the script with LET and SET instructions.

You can use an include script instead of creating it in qvw file.

Hi

You can extract the variables using a script like this:

Let zFileName = 'C:\Projects\Project1\Model.qvw';

VariableDefinition:

LOAD

  Name   As Variable.Name,

  RawValue   As Variable.Definition

FROM [$(zFileName)] (XmlSimple, Table is [DocumentSummary/VariableDescription])

Where Not(IsReserved = 'true' Or IsConfig = 'true');

For i = 0 to NoOfRows('VariableDefinition') - 1

  Let zVarName = Peek('Variable.Name', i, 'VariableDefinition');

  Let zVarValue = Peek('Variable.Definition', i, 'VariableDefinition');

  Let $(zVarName) = zVarValue;

Next

Set the value of zFileName to the model from which you would like to get the variables.

Hi,

you can download an external plugin called QVPlus, you have the possibility to export variables from there.

The code given by Jonathan is working. You should replace 'C:\Projects\Project1\Model.qvw';  as per your required file path. Hope you have done that. We can help you if can share the error message or the application with us.

Attaching files for your reference. Variables in Sales dashboard-copy.qvw are extracted to variables.qvw file.
