    I have struggled with this for a while. Having read the Nprinting docs and gone through the 'what to do when dollar sign expansion doesn't work' and it still appears to not be working. I have other reports built in Nprinting that work well, this is the first I've tried to use Qlik Sense Variables in.

    Nprinting version: Qlik NPrinting May 2026 Version: 26.19.3.0

    Qlik Sense Enterprise November 2025.

    Scenario: I have several variables in my Qlik Sense App: vCSDReportName, vCSDPeriodStart, vCSDPeriodEnd.

    3 Variable Input objects3 Variable Input objects

    I have added them to my template as so:

    3 variables in Template3 variables in Template

    I have created a variable filter thusly:

    variable selected and value set.variable selected and value set.

    And yet when I run a preview of the report in design mode I get this:

    Nothing comes across..Nothing comes across..

     I've read through this article: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-NPrinting/Setting-variable-in-Nprinting-report/td-p/2496221 several times and I simply don't understand what I am missing.

    If anyone can shed light on my ignorance I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Obtain Total for the Following Year

    Hello !!!!

    I have a requirement that I hope you can help me with. 

    What I want to achieve is to carry over the final total from 2025 in an Income and Expenses table, so that this total is reflected in the STA line when selecting 2026.

    Ideally, this should work automatically for future years as well. For example, when 2027 becomes the new year, the final total from 2026 should automatically be carried over to the STA line for 2027.

    What I have achieved so far is to carry over the 2025 final total to the STA line. However, when I move to 2026, the value changes, whereas I need the value to remain fixed based on the previous year's final total.

    I have attached my current formula, which achieves the first part of the requirement, along with the variables and an Excel file for better understanding of the expected behavior.

     

    If(
    af_estado_cuenta_item = 'Egresos'
    and af_estado_cuenta_concepto = 'Saldo temporada anterior',

    Sum(Total
    Aggr(
    (
    If(
    af_estado_cuenta_item = 'Ingresos'
    and af_estado_cuenta_descripcion_estado_ingresos <> 'R',

    Pick(
    Match(
    af_estado_cuenta_concepto,
    'Ingreso Cerezas',
    'Ingreso Ciruelas',
    'Ingreso Kiwis',
    'Ingreso Manzanas'
    ),

    Sum(
    {<
    af_especie={'Cerezas'},
    af_estado_cuenta_concepto={'Ingreso Cerezas'}
    >}
    Aggr($(v_cajasdn) * $(v_rnp_Ingresos_I), af_variedad)
    ),

    Sum(
    {<
    af_especie={'Ciruelas'},
    af_estado_cuenta_concepto={'Ingreso Ciruelas'}

    >}
    Aggr($(v_cajasdn) * $(v_rnp_Ingresos_I), af_variedad)
    )
    ),

    If(
    GetFieldSelections(rnp_tipo) = 'RNP Ppto',
    Sum(af_estado_cuenta_rnp_ppto_monto),

    If(
    GetFieldSelections(rnp_tipo) = 'RNP Real Acum Ppto',
    Sum(af_estado_cuenta_rnp_rap_monto),

    If(
    GetFieldSelections(rnp_tipo) = 'RNP Prom',
    Sum(af_estado_cuenta_valor_total_ingreso_real)
    )
    )
    )
    )
    ),
    af_estado_cuenta_item,
    af_estado_cuenta_concepto
    )
    ),
    )

    Variables:
    $(v_cajasdn) = sum(if(af_estado_analisis_financiero_produccion = 'P',af_cajas_vigente_real,af_cajas_produccion_real))
    $(v_rnp_Ingresos_I) = Avg(resultado_neto_productor_unitario_caja_NRNP)

    Year &'-'& Month  as YearMonth is not sorted good enough as text, but 2026-1, 2026-2, etc.  sorted as text would be acceptable .

    I am sure there is more elegant solution available than this rudimentary one:

    Year &'-'& dual(Month, if(Month= 'January',1,if(Month= 'February',2,if(Month= 'March',3,if(Month= 'April',4,if(Month= 'May',5,if(Month= 'June',6,if(Month= 'July',7,if(Month= 'August',8,if(Month= 'September',9,if(Month= 'October',10,if(Month= 'November',11,if(Month= 'December',12,0))))))))))))) as YearMonth,

    Meet Gwen Stamp, our August Featured Member

    Screenshot 2026-08-03 152058.png

     

    From the moment you dive into the Qlik Community this month, Gwen Stamp's presence is hard to miss! An active member of the Women Who Qlik group, Gwen has spent more than 15 years leaving her mark on the Qlik ecosystem: showing up, sharing what she's learned, and helping others do the same. We're thrilled to name her our Featured Member for August 2026!

    Gwen's relationship with Qlik goes back over 15 years, and she's seen the platform from nearly every angle along the way, working as a developer, consultant, platform owner, customer, educator, and community advocate. Today, she leads a Data & Analytics Center of Excellence within financial services, focusing on analytics strategy, governance, and enablement, helping people get more value from their data. She's also an adjunct professor teaching Business Statistics, driven by a passion for data literacy and helping others build the confidence to make data-informed decisions.

    “We learn more when we learn from each other.”

    — Gwen Stamp

    Community has always been central to Gwen's Qlik journey. She notes that no matter how long someone has worked with Qlik, there's always another perspective, another problem solved, or a better approach waiting to be discovered. The Community has been a steady resource throughout her own journey, whether she's troubleshooting an issue, exploring a new capability, or keeping up with how the platform evolves. It's also given her a way to give back, sharing the successes and lessons she's picked up along the way. But for Gwen, it ultimately comes down to the people, some of the professional relationships and friendships she's built through the Community have lasted for years.

    Outside of work, Gwen loves traveling and trying new things with her family. She's almost always learning something new or working on a creative project, and she enjoys roasting her own coffee. True to form, her curiosity doesn't stay contained to the day job, as she puts it, data and technology tend to sneak into her hobbies too, always wondering how things work and how they could work better.

     

    Thank you, Gwen!

    Incorrect time (hh:mm) format when export the data into excel sheet

    Hi All, When exporting data that includes a time column formatted as 'hh:mm' into an Excel sheet, I encounter an issue where the format is not preserv... Show More

    Hi All,

    When exporting data that includes a time column formatted as 'hh:mm' into an Excel sheet, I encounter an issue where the format is not preserved correctly. 

    Requirement- 

    • Time Format Preservation: The exported data should maintain the 'hh:mm' format as shown in the QlikSense report.

    ChaithraMahesh_1-1725517860363.png

    • Table Header: The exported table should include "Total" at the top.
    • Color Formatting: The color formatting in the "Flag" column should also be preserved.

    Here's the situation and what I've tried so far:

    Expression: Total Hours = interval(sum(Hours),'hh:mm')

    1. Export with Table Formatting Enabled:

    When exporting data with "Table Formatting" enabled, the time column "Total Hours" displays in a 24-hour format instead of the intended 'hh:mm' format.

    For instance, a total of "45:21" hours appears as "21:21" after subtracting 24:00 hours

    [ (45:21) - (24:00) = (21:21)]

    ChaithraMahesh_2-1725517988334.png

    2. Export without Table Formatting:

    Exporting without enabling "Table Formatting" preserves the time format as 'hh:mm'. However, this method causes other issues, such as the loss of color formatting in another column called "Flag."

    ChaithraMahesh_3-1725518976916.png

    I attempted using the "Text" function instead of just the "Interval" function to achieve the desired export format. Here’s what I did and the issue that arose:

    Attempted Solution

    • Expression Used: Total Hours = Text(interval(sum(Hours),'hh:mm'))
    • Result: This approach allowed me to export the data with "Table Formatting" enabled, preserving the 'hh:mm' format as required.

    Issue Encountered

    • Calculation Problem: When this format is used, the total hours displayed at the bottom of the Excel sheet only show the count of records, not the sum of the selected records. For example, if the user selects records 4th and 5th row in excel, the bottom of the sheet displays a count (highlighted in yellow) rather than the sum. Additionally, the top of the page shows the format as "General," making it difficult for users to calculate the total hours for selected records.
    • User Frustration: Business users have to manually convert these text values into hours, which involves complex calculations and is frustrating for them.

    Requirement

    • The export should display the total hours in 'hh:mm' format while allowing users to easily calculate totals for selected records. Ideally, users should be able to see the sum of selected rows in the Excel sheet without additional complex steps.

    ChaithraMahesh_4-1725520726969.png

    Hence, I need a solution to export the data so that the "Total Hours" column maintains the 'hh:mm' format, while also retaining color formatting in the "Flag" column if "Table Formatting" in either ways enabled or not enabled and also enable business see the custom "Sum" of the records.

    Hello
    got the following requirement:
    the user has to select one fiscal year 
    Current fiscal year is 2026
    if the user selects 2026 or above
    then the chart has to display Budget Amount
    but is the user selects any fiscal year before 2026 then chart should display Actual Amounts
    I wrote the below expression:

    sum
        (
            {
                <scenario={actual},fiscal_year
    *={"<2026"}>
                +
               <scenario={budget},fiscal_year*={">=2026"}>

           }
    amount)
    but some suggest that I write the following:
    sum({<scenario={actual},fiscal_year*={"<2026"}>}amount)
    +
    sum({<scenario={budget},fiscal_year*={">=2026"}>}amount)

    which approach has better performance

    We have a customer currently using Qlik Replicate with an on-premises Oracle database as the source. The customer is planning to migrate their source Oracle database to an IaaS environment on IBM Cloud (Bare Metal or Virtual Server Instance (VSI)) in the near future.

    Could you please advise if there are any specific limitations, considerations, or prerequisites from a Qlik Replicate perspective when migrating to an Oracle source hosted on IBM Cloud IaaS?

    Based on our review of the official documentation, there do not appear to be any specific limitations for IaaS environments. However, as there are noted limitations for Oracle on Oracle Cloud as referenced below, we would like to confirm with you just in case: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/May2026/Content/Global_Common/Content/SharedReplicateHDD/Oracle/oracle_cloud_prerequisites.htm

     

    Could you please confirm if our understanding is correct?

    Best regards,
    Hironori Fujihira

    Make Geoanalytics Area Layer Ignore Selections

    Hi, I'm creating a map in GeoAnalytics with an area layer and a point layer. The area layer separates the UK into 4 sectors relevant to our company. I want to be able to make selections in the point layer or other filters and for this to not affect the area layer whatsoever.

    Currently when I make selections, areas with no values disappear. To fix this I added {1} in front of the area code in the location field so that it will ignore selections, which keeps all the areas when I click on it, but their colours all change to the null colour, rather than what any expression or dimension value I set for the colours tells them.

    Using the same technique of placing {1} infront of it doesn't work either, the colours all still appear NULL() red when I make any selections that don't include them.

    ConnorGS_2-1752566369974.png

    Here's what it looks like when I select 3 areas. Instead of this red NULL() colour, I need each area to remain the original colour.

    ConnorGS_0-1752566095766.png

    I understand I can create these areas as an island table in my script editor so that selections arent linked to them at all, however this isn't optimal as I'd prefer the user to be able to select an area and it will show all points in that area, which wouldnt work if the area is derived from an island table.

    Any suggestions on a workaround for this?
