NPrinting Wildcard Filter

JustinDallas — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 18:40:54 GMT

Hello Folks,

Does anyone know if we can use a Wildcard filter on NPrinting? I'm looking to set a filter to something like *bar* but I'm not sure if it will work as I can't find any documentation on it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Justin,

NPrinting 17.x/18.x does not (yet) have options to filter based on Variables, Bookmarks and Advanced Search (which is what you are trying to do). At this stage I don't have any information on when these will be implemented. Available in NPrinting 16.x: How to Use QlikView Advanced Search with NPrinting Filters

HTH - Daniel.

Depending how many different wildcards you want to use? but... at this stage i would create those wildcards in script and convert them to flags like:

If (field like '*bar*,1,0) as _flag_bar

and use this field with explicit value: _flag_bar = 1 as your NPritning filter

end result will be exactly the same and i think it will even work faster/ better!

Lech
