    Hey folks, I’m dealing with a transactional table where the first entries are the initial investments, and the rest may be other types of transactions. But with the transaction codes 'TC00402' quite narrows it.

    I want to pull out just those initial investments by looking at the earliest date for each account. Some accounts only have one record, while others have multiple entries on the same date.

    How would you go about separating these in the script? Would love any tips or approaches!

    Reporting Service & Alerting

    Feedback on Qlik Reporting Experience

    I’ve been using Qlik Reporting recently and often find myself struggling in several areas:

    • Locating images I’ve added to the image library.
    • Debugging deployments to identify where images have been used.
    • Understanding error messages, which often lack clarity.

    The most frustrating part isn’t just finding the right images—it’s even harder to delete unwanted ones. Before removing an image from the library, I must first delete every instance where it’s deployed. However, templates don’t display image icons, so I have to click into properties and check image sources manually. Imagine doing this for 50+ images in a template—it feels like one step forward, ten steps back.

    When I used NPrinting, the process was much simpler. If Storytelling had the 'LEVEL' similar functionality, it would save us significant time and effort.

    Challenges and Suggestions

    Below are the issues I’ve encountered. I hope these are not inherent limitations but rather gaps in my understanding or missing guidelines.

    Better Alternative Suggestion by Qlik or Other Qlik Reporting Expert from Community

    Adding Images – One by One

     

    Adding multiple images from a sheet is cumbersome:

    • Navigate to the sheet, wait for rendering.
    • Find the image, add it, wait for rendering again.
    • Repeat for every image.

     

    As a leading BI tool, I’d expect multi-select functionality for adding images—this should be a basic feature.

    •  

     

    Images Entity Sorting

    Images entity in the library aren’t sorted by the time they were added. They appear randomly, possibly by name, and there’s no sorting option. For example, the last image I added might appear near the top instead of at the end.

     

    ExQlikDW_5-1764730562522.png

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Finding Images - Image Naming

     

    Image names vary: (see diagram No. 2)

    • Sometimes long alphanumeric codes.
    • Sometimes titles.
    • Sometimes short random strings (especially when added as Master Items).

     

    Although there’s an optional field for naming images under properties, these names don’t appear in the library, making identification harder.

     

     

     

     

    Tracking Image Entity Deployment

     

     

     

     

    ExQlikDW_6-1764730562533.png

     

     

    The above error message is caused by an object has been deleted in a sheet.  But what object is that? In which sheet? There is probably no way I could find out, I would like to know if there is a method to do so.

     

    I thought to remove the entire Image entity at least get the preview working, then the next error pop up.

     

    ExQlikDW_7-1764730562534.png

     

     

    Now, I have to first remove all instances first where I used this images in the template.  To find this out, the only way I know is to click on each object property and then click on Image Source to compare the image long id.

     

    So, is there a way we can see where all images are deployed in the reporting section or band or subband?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Trouble shooting – Vague Error Message

     

     

    ExQlikDW_8-1764730562536.png

     

     

    Error messages are vague and provide no clues about the root cause. For example:

    • “Bad Request”  - what request?
    • Patch ‘value’ – what is Patch value?  Why ‘value’ has this quotation ‘ ‘?.

     

    I ended up recreate the whole template after deleting all my objects and this message still popping up.

     

     

     

    Troubleshooting – Error Message without much Context

    ExQlikDW_9-1764730562537.png

     

     

    When adding a KPI as an image, I sometimes get errors despite the KPI having valid data. Could conditional visibility be the issue? Possibly—but the error messages make troubleshooting extremely difficult, especially for new users.

    Hi,

    I am trying to build set analysis for the sum of sales for the Max Date and Previous Date of the Max Date

    I have discrete dates such as 01.01.2025, 07.07.2025, 08.07.2025, 14.11.2025 etc...

     

    Max Date Expression (works perfectly):

    Sum({<[Discrete Date]={"=[Discrete Date]='$(=Max([Discrete Date]))'"}>} Sales)

     

    But I don't know what should I write for the previous date because there are no continuous dates. So, for example user select date from [Discrete Date] = 14.11.2025 then that is the max date while the previous available date is 08.07.2025

     

    Thanks

    Hello,

    We are trying to use Qlik Cloud Services within Qlik Application Automation. Some blocks work correctly and pass the domain in the URL as expected, but others do not. For example, we receive the following error when using the Get Space block. We are not sure if we are missing a configuration or setting. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Did your Qlik reloads suddenly stop picking up dashboard variable values? You aren't crazy. Qlik has made significant changes to how front-end variables interact with the back-end load script, specifically regarding the behavior of standard variables vs. ScriptOnlyVariables.

    The "old way" of relying on dashboard variables automatically carrying over to the script during a reload is no longer reliable due to these recent platform updates. If your ETL process depends on user input from the UI, you need a new approach.

    In the video below, I break down exactly what changed and demonstrate the robust, modern solution: using Qlik Application Automation (QAA) to bridge the gap.

     

    📅 In the video, we cover:

    • The critical changes Qlik made to variable pass-through behavior (and why your old scripts might be failing).

    • Why Qlik Application Automation is now the best practice for this requirement.

    • Step-by-step guide: How to build an Automation to fetch current dashboard variable values.

    • How to pass those values effectively into your Load Script during a triggered reload.

    This is essential knowledge for any Qlik developer ensuring their data pipelines remain interactive and reliable.

The visualizations are done, and I've piped in new data from a different source that has field names and content different that what's already there.

    Hello everyone,

     

    Currently, I'm trying to combine two datasets: one with coordinates (latitude and longitude) and one with areas (polygons) both of which I have loaded separately, and all the data can be displayed in a map. However, I need to crear an intersection between those datasets by using the operation WITHIN in Qlik Cloud so that all my points are placed inside the areas.

    1. First step was to load the data accordingly.

    rolmontero_0-1765563755049.png

    I have 6 main areas and lots of geo points.

    rolmontero_1-1765563794722.png

     

    2. I configured the connector both of which are loaded table

    rolmontero_2-1765563860771.png

    3. After adding the code from the connector, the script shows this error:

    rolmontero_3-1765564079388.png

    Something I noticed is that there is one table, and it says my enclosing data which is the area does not contain any geometries even if the areas can be displayed on a map. Also, I tried concatenating both table and I got the same error. 

     

    Could anyone guide me to do this, please?

     

    Thanks a lot!
