Correction in fAbs() function

Hi,

I think Qlik need to update the page or Qlik engine where it should be properly written fAbs() not Fabs or fabs(x) or vice versa:

Qlik Script:

Remember: that is not a problem but being a valued company with valued customers (50,000) it should be correct as much as you can. Please consider it as an opportunity to improve the content.

Other work around is to update Qlik where I type and it must show fabs() or Fabs() as an IntelliSense.

 

 

Thanks

Hello james bond - by the way, is it james bond or James Bond?

Anyway... I'll reveal a top secret to you - Qlik functions are not case sensitive, at all. You can have it any way you want - Fabs, fabs, FABS, or even fabS.

If I understand the logic in the Help page - they list it capitalized (Fabs) in the beginning of a new sentence (out of respect for English grammar). Everywhere else it's listed in lower case.

So, I don't see how this is harmful to the reputation of a valued company with 50,000 valued customers.

Cheers,
