How to add commas to numbers?

Hello,

I uploaded my Excel files to Qlik Sense 3.0. My numbers with commas in them had the commas disappear when uploaded to Qlik Sense. How can I add commas to my number columns (for example, 100,000 instead of 100000) ?

In my table, my version of Qlik Sense does not have an option for reformatting my columns. I thought that since I attempted to redefine my columns in Excel from General to Number that would have solved the issue when I uploaded to Qlik. This was not the case.

Thank you

What you did in excel is just formatting not permanent change.

You can use num function to add different formatting in Sense

Hi @Robert Mika,

Is there a way to make a permanent change in Excel?

If I use the num function in Sense, do I go to "Data Load Editor"->"Auto-generated section" ?

I have been connecting my files with "Associations" and have not used "Data Load Editor" much to modify the code myself.

Brianna,

I believe you are confusing how Qlik stores a value as to how Qlik presents the value.  Qlik will store numeric values loaded from a table as numeric values. 

I believe what you are truly trying to do is in the presentation layer.  There you can format the number in many different ways.

Good luck
