Hi Fernando,
Yes, you can create expression variables in the Qlik Sense script, and call them when needed.
Example:
SET vMeasure1 = date(firstworkdate (Max(Fecha), 1),'DD/MM/YY');
You can call this example variable by entering $(vMeasure1) as a new measure to any user interface object. May I also make a suggestion that you can also fulfil this requirement by creating a Qlik Sense measure master item. With this method, users can drag-and-drop the custom measure to any number of objects on the UI. This method also avoids the need to memorize every measure variable during the development process.
Cheers,
Sean

sod,
Can we use LET instead of SET?

Hi Dinesh,
Yes, LET commands can be used in the Qlik Sense script editor as well.
