Number interpretation variables are system defined. The variables are included
at the top of the load script and apply number formatting settings at the
time of the script execution. They can be deleted, edited, or duplicated.
Default regional settings in apps are based on a combination of identity provider settings, system settings, or browser settings. These regional format settings are not related to the language displayed in the Qlik Cloud user interface. Qlik Cloud will be displayed in the same language as the browser you are using.
The numerical abbreviation sets which abbreviation to use for scale prefixes of numerals, for example M for mega or a million (106), and µ for micro (10-6).
This environment variable defines the date format used as the default in the app. The format is used both to interpret and format dates. If the variable is not defined, the date format of the regional settings of the operating system will be fetched when the script runs.
The setting defines which month to use as first month of the year, which can be used to define financial years that use a monthly offset, for example starting April 1.
Information noteThis setting is currently unused but reserved for future use.
Valid settings are 1 (January) to 12 (December). Default setting is 1.
Syntax:
FirstMonthOfYear
Example:
Set FirstMonthOfYear=4; //Sets the year to start in April
Variable
A variable in Qlik Sense is a container storing a static value or a calculation, for example a numeric or alphanumeric value.
The load script is a sequence of statements that defines what data to load and how to link the different loaded tables. It can be generated with the Data manager, or with the Data load editor, where it also can be viewed and edited.
