Question

How do I convert a Qlik Sense Bar Chart to a Table without having to recreate the table?

Environment

Qlik Sense: All supported versions

Solution:

edit the Qlik Sense sheet containing the Bar Chart
make a copy of the bar chart then convert it to a straight table by dragging the 'table' object onto the copied bar chart.
click 'convert to table'

Result:

Use Case: NPrinting Reporting

Keep in mind that Qlik Sense bar charts are not supported for use as exportable data 'tables' with NPrinting. (See unsupported and partially supported objects here https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/Content/NPrinting/ReportsDevelopment/Qlik-objects-supported-NP.htm )

To use the data in the bar chart in an NPrniting report, you can simply follow the steps above and then

Reload the NPrinting connection to this QS app
find the new object is visible in the tables list

Then you can use the straight table data in your NPrinting report.
