Summary

We have come to the end of this chapter on scripting. We have learned how to navigate the script editor. We have seen the most important script statements, and have applied them to our Airline Operations project. We also picked up a few tips and pointers for working with different data types in QlikView, and for debugging, standardizing, and organizing our scripts. We ended this chapter by looking at script re-using, which makes our scripts easier to maintain.

In short, we learned about the Script Editor window, what the most important script statements are and how to use them, operators and functions for dealing with various data types, and what options exist to debug a script.

We also learned how to organize and standardize our script and how to re-use your script within and between QlikView documents.

Now that we have learned the basics of QlikView scripting, in the next chapter we will apply this new knowledge while learning about data modeling best practices.
