Hi Experts,

I am new to Nprinting, This maybe a simple question. How can i put yesterday date with the excel report name generated by nprining. i am able to put todays date but i am not sure about yesterday date.

It should be like this

"Report Name - yesterday Date"

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

When creating a new question in the community please add only the label of the version you are using. The answer could depend on it and I suppose you are not using one of the listed versions. Instead, if you are using a 16.* or one of the early 17.* please upgrade or migrate as soon as possible.

About dynamic naming refers to https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2022/Content/NPrinting/ReportsDevelopment/Dynamic-report-naming.htm. You can create a Qlik variable with the formula to calculate yesterday's date. Remember to include everything in a text() function to force the output as text to be used in the filename. Be also sure the result of the formula doesn't include not allowed characters in filenames.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Thankyou so much @Ruggero_Piccoli. Sorry I just chose the random labels 😅, I will choose the correct label next time. I am using Nprinting 2018 version.

Hi,

There are many versions in 2018 and none is still supported. So plan the upgrade to a supported version, the latest is better, as soon as possible.

Please read carefully the upgrade procedure on the help site and the release notes before starting the upgrade to avoid errors.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Hi @CLSA - yes it is. @Ruggero_Piccoli already provided information about how to achieve this bu using dynaming naming in which you can have reference to Qlik variable which can store yesterdays date for you.

so again make sure you study documentation: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2024/Content/NPrinting/ReportsDevelopment/Dynamic-report-naming.htm

Once you studied it and still have issues - then create a new post, provide step by step screenshots of what you are doing so we could replicate your steps and advise you on it further.

cheers
