Can any one explain about Macros in Qlikview?

Avoid using macro's. There are almost always better solutions. Keep things as simple as possible or you risk confusing your users to no end.

Hi Albert

As a Qlikview Best Practices try to avoid Macros as it will slow down your application.

Hi Albert,

what do you need a macro for? it is recommended to avoid them but there are cases in which there are no other option but to use them.

Please if you can elaborate more about your requirement we can help you find the right solution.

Kind regards,

Devil's advocate:

Macros can be great... For example for supporting tasks during development, e.g. importing and exporting variables or controlling chart settings where the dialog is not supporting this.

It depends on what you are trying to achieve with the macro code.

[Gysbert_Wassenaar]

Now you've done it. He'll want to do all development with macro's now.

[swuehl]

Oh, No!

But I guess he still has got no real explanation of what Macros really are.

Maybe we can confuse him with IBM Mainframe Assembler - Macros
