You can use the variable overview in the Setting.---> variable overview or use the LET statement to create variables.

Check the following resource:

Managing Variables

QlikView App: Set Variable with an Action on a Button

You can create it either in your script with a let/set command or in your QV dekstop -->Settings ---> Variable Overview.

Click Add. Give a variable name. eg: vShow & in definition pass a number 1. This value can be changed by the user at anytime.

This could even be alpha numeric data.  If the first character in your variable definition starts with = then QV will try to evalute this as a formula(same as expression) & then display rather than displaying the formula txt.

By pressing Ctrl+Alt+V you come into Variable Overview Window Here you can see add button so by pressing add button you can add/define variable definition

Hi

You can create variables in the script, in the Desktop(QV dekstop -->Settings ---> Variable Overview) or you can create in the edit modulo(ctrl + M)

in the script you create using LET  DateToday= today();

good luck
