The .QAR file is a file type for QlikView Extensions. These extension file type serves the purpose of adding secondary functionality when using the proprietary software “QlikView”. By using .QAR files, the developers can bridge the gap between visual insights and web applications. The .QAR object extension file allows the developers to add their own javascript functionality to the object extension so that a separate .NET application need not be build for a single QlickView custom visualization. This is very useful for the data scientists as it makes the visualizations fast and more efficient. This allows custom look, feel , functionality and behavior in the QlickView visualizations.
In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .QAR file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:
A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .QAR file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .QAR file, so download the update and check again.
If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:
It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .QAR extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .QAR file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.
