A data architect needs to develop three separate apps (Sales, Finance, and Operations).

When developing multiple Qlik Sense applications (Sales, Finance, Operations) that share numerous identical calculation expressions, it is crucial to have a centralized, reusable script to avoid redundancy, save time on modifications, and increase the reusability of the assets.

The best approach in Qlik Sense to achieve these goals is to use theIncludescript function. This function allows the data architect to reference a script file that is stored on a file server. The Include function willinject the contents of the external script file into the Qlik Sense script at the point where the Include statement is called. This means that all three apps (Sales, Finance, Operations) can include this common script, and any updates made to the script will automatically apply to all apps that include it.

This method provides a highly maintainable solution because:

No Duplicate Script:The shared logic is maintained in a single file, eliminating redundancy.

Ease of Modifications:Any changes made to the script are propagated to all applications that include it.

Reusable Assets:The script can be reused across different applications, enhancing efficiency and consistency.
