Searching an app for an expression/string in visualizations and formulas

mg_gsi_da — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 12:33:20 GMT

Hello Experts,

I've deployed a couple of apps in the past using a specific string in expressions and/or formulas in different visualizations.

In example a filter for the string "GmbH" as a preset. Now this string needs to be changed to "company"

Again, not a problem of the data content but the visualizations.

Also there may be an expression in a calculated value in a table or pivot like:

sum({$<customer={GmbH}>}sales)

Now it needs to be:

sum({$<customer={company}>}sales)

Is there a way to search through an app and its visualizations to find all related psoitions containing the string "GmbH"?

Something similar to the search through the load script. I know that it was possible in the early versions of Qlik Sense (years ago) but didn't find any replacement.

Thx in advance

Hello,

Are you using Qlik Cloud or Qlik Client Managed ?

My tool QSDA Pro will extract all expressions (and more) from your app and allows searching for strings and fields to identify where they are used in the app. QSDA Pro is a commercial tool but you can try it for free on small apps of less than 100 visualizations.
