The QlikView Script file is associated with QlikView from Qlik. It stores the source code for a QlikView load script rather than the data or the finished application itself.
A .qvs file can contain statements for connecting to data sources, loading data, and preparing it for use in a QlikView application. QlikView can use the script as part of an application's data-loading process.
The format is text-based, so its contents can also be inspected outside QlikView. QlikView is available for Microsoft Windows, and .qvs files remain associated with its scripting and data-loading workflow.
Open the file in QlikView to use it as a script in a QlikView application. Because it is a plain-text file, it can also be viewed or edited with any text editor, although a QlikView-specific editor is better suited to checking and running its script statements.
A .qvs file is source code, so it normally has no meaningful conversion to another file format. To preserve or edit the script outside QlikView, save or copy it as plain text; to produce results in another form, run the script in QlikView and export the resulting data or application content instead.
