| CreateVariableExAsync(GenericVariableProperties) |
Creates a variable. To create a variable via a script, you need to use the DefinitionA variable in Qlik Sense is a named entity, containing a data value. This value can be static or be the result of a calculation. A variable acquires its value at the same time that the variable is created or after when updating the properties of the variable. Variables can be used in bookmarks and can contain numeric or alphanumeric data. Any change made to the variable is applied everywhere the variable is used. When a variable is used in an expression, it is substituted by its value or the variable's definition.

Definition
A variable in Qlik Sense is a named entity, containing a data value. This value can be static or be the result of a calculation. A variable acquires its value at the same time that the variable is created or after when updating the properties of the variable. Variables can be used in bookmarks and can contain numeric or alphanumeric data. Any change made to the variable is applied everywhere the variable is used.
When a variable is used in an expression, it is substituted by its value or the variable's definition.
Example
The variable x contains the text string Sum(Sales) .
In a chart, you define the expression $(x)/12 . The effect is exactly the same as having the chart expression Sum(Sales)/12 .
However, if you change the value of the variable x to Sum(Budget) , the data in the chart are immediately recalculated with the expression interpreted as Sum(Budget)/12 .
Declaration
public Task<CreateVariableExResult> CreateVariableExAsync([QixName("qProp")] GenericVariableProperties prop)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GenericVariableProperties | prop |
Name of the variable. Variable names are case sensitive and must be unique. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Threading.Tasks.Task<CreateVariableExResult> |
Implements
Remarks
To set some properties to the variable, use the SetProperties method.
CreateVariableExAsync(AsyncHandle, GenericVariableProperties)
