My experience has been that QlikTech trys to discourage the use of Macros (the "Trigger" actions are the "better" alternative. However I use them everywhere. Sometimes a bit slow. I would recommend the trigger actions when there is a functional equivalent.

If anyone has any info on where QlikTech is going with macros I would love to hear it (e.g. are there plans to phase them out?)

HI Isaiah,

Yes me too dont use much of macro for the same performance issue. BUt i think many problems can be solved without Macro's , using Triggers !!

Stilll looking for some official data / COmment from seniors or qliktech on this.
