I bring in numeric values from Snowflake which I then send to an ApplyMap to pick up a text value, and I only keep the “as” field, not the original numeric field - yet it is still triggering this flag. Here’s an example:
ApplyMap(‘Map_CLOSING_COSTS_RANGE’, CLOSING_COSTS_RANGE) as “Closing Costs Range”,
And sure enough it’s numeric in the data model:
Here it is in my app:
This is a Qlik thing; but from a QSDA perspective, I don’t know how to understand the current hint: “…if this field were stored in numeric form.”
The Flag is raised because the field contains only numeric data but is it is stored as a string, taking more space than necessary. What does QSDA report as the “Average Symbol Width” for this field?
