Nprinting chart transparency

Mon, 22 Jun 2015 09:27:41 GMT

I'm really stuck I have a bar chart which is a stacked type, In order to show totals as scatter I've needed to make it an overlay with transparency to a scatter chart underneath.

I'm trying to create a powerpoint presentation with the chart but it is loosing its transparency, so I can see the bar chart but not the scatter points underneath. Anyone had this problem before as I'm on the verge of throwing my computer out of the window

Thanks

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

I assume you are bringing in your charts as images. If so, you are experiencing expected behavior. You can test this without involving NPrinting at all. Simply export your chart and save it as a PNG image directly from your QlikView document. Use this image in a PowerPoint slide and try to manipulate it's background transparency. In my tests I was not able to make any changes. NPrinting uses the QlikView API to export charts as images so you can expect the same behavior.

Have you tried creating PowerPoint charts using native QlikView tables instead? You have more control over transparency this way.

HTH - Daniel.

Hi Sarah,

Not sure I understand. I did propose a QlikView NPrinting alternative
