Issues importing a large table into Nprinting Report

Fri, 03 Jun 2016 12:41:34 GMT

I've been requested to create a monthly Nprinting report. There is a QVW with the info within it, its larger and more complicated than others I've made or used previously.

The report format will be an excel doc with a pivot (thanks to a useful guide I found on the forums). I created a trial Nprinting report based on a simple QVW and it all worked fine importing a straight table into Nprinting.

However when on the larger QVW on the Report Template Editor as I add a Level and select the Table it doesn't load up. Even after leaving it over lunch and returning (felt an hour would be reasonable) I still had no result.

The objects from the QVW are refreshed, I've added in filters for the region and time frame the report is after however I still haven't managed to load it in.

This is run on a remote server I've got access to but I have no idea/control of the computing power and its not practical for me to edit the QVW source unless there are zero other options and even then only maybe.

Are there any other solutions or work-arounds? ideas welcome, thanks in advance

My first suggestion would be to reduce the size of the table in the QVW to see if it will pull it in at all. Use the dimension limits or TOP x to make the table show 100 rows or so as a test.

Thanks for the quick reply

I just set the date to 2016 only (instead of the 5 year default) and it worked. This gives me more to build on, perhaps with trial and error I can get it loaded by doing a bit at the time.

Unfortunately I couldn't keep the table limited as others need it to have the full data within
