Which is the plus of QlikView Expressor in respect to QlikView itself?

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi all,

i am interested in understanding the plus that expressor would give to QlikView,

in order to see if it's worth or not learning it. At the moment i've just learnt

few things like how to read a file and write it as qvx file in order to read it in QlikView,

use some expression to manipulate data,etc.,but i don't see at the moment anything that

QlikView itself can't do. Maybe it's something related with moving huge files from a folder

on a machine to another place on another server,i don't know,but if you know anything

about this topic,please let me know.

Thanks,

Roberto

I've given a fast read to Mike Tarallo's post and it seems to give some answers to my question and doubts,

but anyway it's my intention to read it better as soon as i have more time to spend on it and i'll let you know

if there is still something i would like to understand better or to get deeper into.

Thanks,

Roberto
