Power point integration

Thu, 03 Jul 2014 12:26:22 GMT

Hi,

It seems to be possible to very easily drag and drop items from qv to power point: QlikView - PowerPoint Integration - YouTube

However, if I copy something as an object from qlickview only paste options in power point are the ones below. Does anyone know reason why this doesn't work at my computer?

Be sure that the MS PowerPoint bit version (32 or 64-bit) is same as QV Desktop Version.

Drag a chart from the QlikView Desktop application into a PowerPoint slide.

Wait a few seconds.

What do you mean? "cal allocated"?

It mean that you need to lease licence from QlikView server and then copy paste objects from your application to PowerPoint.

Correct. You need to use the Desktop Client > licensed as a Named or Local client CAL (Client Access License).

Hi,

I just want to link up here because this is something I tried before and it didn't work out.

What Ashfaq meant is quite simple: QlikView works on the basis of licenses - CALs. You need one of those to be able to use QlikView at all - and one license has to be allocated to the user running the ppt.

This functionality might actually be very important when it comes to presenting the "added value" that we got out of having QlikView so far - since QlikView is basically "only" a tool for visualization and graphical representation for informations that were there before, it is quite hard to measure that and to find arguments for it.

Best regards,

DataNibbler

P.S.: This CAL - does that have to be allocated also to the user running the ppt or only to the one dragging the QV_objects into the ppt - assuming it is not the same person?

Thanks for answers everyone! The qv was 64 bit and office 32 bit, but it is same as my colleague have and it works just fine for him. Licence should be ok as well. As I tried it earlier I had an real application with tons on figures and large datasets --> Power Point crashed. Now I trid this with small test data everything sort of works.

I still don't get any other options for paste menu but redulr ctrl+v works. And to change something out of slide show mode i need to select "QlickOCX Control Object/Edit" everytome.

Also graphs are scaled in a weird way when the power point is not in the slide show mode.
