How to include long chunks of code that are used several places

Configuration
1

Like many others I am working with market prices and in my case adding grid fees and taxes. For this I use the following code:

  • sensor:

    • name: “xxx”
      state: >
      {{ 0 }}
      attributes:
      tot_prices: >
      {% set ns = namespace(prices=) -%}
      {%- set day = state_attr(‘sensor.nordpool_kwh_trheim_nok_3_10_025’,‘raw_today’) -%}
      {%- long chunk of code -%}

      {%- set day = state_attr('sensor.nordpool_kwh_trheim_nok_3_10_025','raw_tomorrow') -%}
{%- if state_attr('sensor.nordpool_kwh_trheim_nok_3_10_025','tomorrow_valid') -%}
  {%- same long chunk of code -%}
  
{%- endif -%}

I simplified and left out a lot. The code is working fine. However, I would like to place the “long chunk of code” in another file or use some other technique to avoid having the same sequence twice. I have been experimenting with & and * and with !include, but I’m not able to find anything that works in this particular context.
I can live with this but would like to understand how to handle this as it will be a recurring issue.

There’s a bit in the docs about reusing templates:

Well, sorry, I forgot to mention this, seemed obvious to me, but it was actually a Home Assistant question.

Thanks a lot, this did the trick:

{% from ‘xxx.jinja’ import my_macro with context %}
{{ my_macro }}
