In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.
Code words in text are shown as follows: “We do this using the INLINE function.”
A block of code is set as follows:
Sales: Load * INLINE [ Country, Sales USA, 6500 UK, 1850 Germany, 3200 ];
In certain recipes the code is generated on the fly using the Autogenerate function available in Qlik Sense®. In such a case the code will appear as follows:
Transactions: Load Date(today()-IterNo()) AS Date, Round(1000*Rand()*Rand()*Rand()) AS Sales Autogenerate 1000;
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
Sales: Load * INLINE [ Country, Sales USA, 6500 UK, 1850 Germany, 3200 ];
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
C:Users<user>DocumentsQlikSenseApps
New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: “Click on the Create New Connection and select OLE DB.”
