I wouldn't recommend using them unless there's absolutely no other way of accomplishing the action you need, there are a number of reasons for this.</P><P></P><P>Macros are slow. Very slow.</P><P>Most actions can be accomplished using non macro actions.</P><P>Macros that involve making selections have an impact on the users' server cache. This makes your document less responsive.</P><P>I don't believe they work in the Ajax client (though I may be wrong)</P><P></P><P>Marcus</P><P><BR /> </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 22 Oct 2013 13:56:15 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/macros/m-p/506145#M1136726 marcus_malinow 2013-10-22T13:56:15Z Re: macros https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/macros/m-p/506146#M1136727 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>thank u and plz answer if u know diff between or waht is new in qlikview 9,10,11</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 22 Oct 2013 13:58:36 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/macros/m-p/506146#M1136727 2013-10-22T13:58:36Z Re: macros https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/macros/m-p/506147#M1136728 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>One more reason to avoid them is that they are a royal pain when it's time to upgrade.
