# NxInlineMeasureDef ## Properties | Name | Description | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | qLabel | Name of the measure.
An empty string is returned as a default value.
This parameter is optional. | String | | qDescription | Description of the measure.
An empty string is returned as a default value.
This parameter is optional. | String | | qTags | Name connected to the measure that is used for search purposes.
A measure can have several tags.
This parameter is optional. | Array of String | | qGrouping | Default value is no grouping.
This parameter is optional.

One of:

N or GRP_NX_NONE
H or GRP_NX_HIEARCHY
C or GRP_NX_COLLECTION

| String | | qDef | Definition of the expression in the measure.
Example: *Sum (OrderTotal)*
This parameter is mandatory. | String | | qNumFormat | Sets the formatting of a field.
The properties of *qFieldAttributes* and the formatting mechanism are described below.

Formatting mechanism

The formatting mechanism depends on the type set in *qType,* as shown below:

Information note

In case of inconsistencies between the type and the format pattern, the format pattern takes precedence over the type.

Type is DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP or INTERVAL

The following applies:

If a format pattern is defined in qFmt , the formatting is as defined in qFmt .
If qFmt is empty, the formatting is defined by the number interpretation variables included at the top of the script ( TimeFormat , DateFormat , TimeStampFormat ).
The properties qDec , qThou , qnDec , qUseThou are not used.

Type is INTEGER

The following applies:

If a format pattern is defined in qFmt , the engine looks at the values set in qDec and qThou . If these properties are not defined, the formatting mechanism uses the number interpretation variables included at the top of the script ( DecimalSep and ThousandSep ).
If no format pattern is defined in qFmt , no formatting is applied. The properties qDec , qThou , qnDec , qUseThou and the number interpretation variables defined in the script are not used .

Type is REAL

The following applies:

If a format pattern is defined in qFmt , the engine looks at the values set in qDec and qThou . If these properties are not defined, the engine uses the number interpretation variables included at the top of the script ( DecimalSep and ThousandSep ).
If no format pattern is defined in qFmt , and if the value is almost an integer value (for example, 14,000012), the value is formatted as an integer. The properties qDec , qThou , qnDec , qUseThou are not used.
If no format pattern is defined in qFmt , and if qnDec is defined and not 0, the property qDec is used. If qDec is not defined, the variable DecimalSep defined at the top of the script is used.
If no format pattern is defined in qFmt , and if qnDec is 0, the number of decimals is 14 and the property qDec is used. If qDec is not defined, the variable DecimalSep defined at the top of the script is used.

Type is FIX

The following applies:

If a format pattern is defined in qFmt , the engine looks at the values set in qDec and qThou . If these properties are not defined, the engine uses the number interpretation variables included at the top of the script ( DecimalSep and ThousandSep ).
If no format pattern is defined in qFmt , the properties qDec and qnDec are used. If qDec is not defined, the variable DecimalSep defined at the top of the script is used.

Type is MONEY

The following applies:

If a format pattern is defined in qFmt , the engine looks at the values set in qDec and qThou . If these properties are not defined, the engine uses the number interpretation variables included at the top of any script ( MoneyDecimalSep and MoneyThousandSep ).
If no format pattern is defined in qFmt , the engine uses the number interpretation variables included at the top of the script ( MoneyDecimalSep and MoneyThousandSep ).

Type is ASCII

No formatting, *qFmt* is ignored. | [FieldAttributes](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/May2026/Subsystems/EngineJSONAPI/Content/models-fieldattributes.htm) | | qRelative | If set to true, percentage values are returned instead of absolute numbers.
Default value is false.
This parameter is optional. | Boolean | | qBrutalSum | If set to true, the sum of rows total should be used rather than real expression total.
This parameter is optional and applies to straight tables.
Default value is false.
If using the Qlik Sense interface, it means that the total mode is set to **Expression Total** . | Boolean | | qAggrFunc | Flag indicating how the measure should be aggregated to create a grand total.
"None" - No total calculation.
"Expr" - Calculate total according to the measure expression.
"" - Empty string is default and has same effect as "Expr".
This parameter is optional. | String | | qAccumulate |

0 means no accumulation* 1 means full accumulation (each y-value accumulates all previous y-values of the expression)* ≥ 2 means accumulate as many steps as the qAccumulate valueDefault value is 0.This parameter is optional.
