Connect Table & Bar chart in Nprinting

rvr1 — Wed, 14 May 2025 06:47:56 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I have connected my qlikview app to Nprinting. Created a PPT(native powerpoint) in Nprinting. The Nprinting report has bar chart and below table (Both are same data from a single object)(Image attached).

Both Bar Chart data and table data are editable but not connected.

I want, if the user modified the data in below table, that value should change the above bar chart's values in the PPT(Generated from Nprinting).

Thanks

I am little bit confused with your requirement and if I understand it correctly such solution is not possible in Power Point. I dont think this is possible in PPT at all and is not a NPrinting limitation but Power Point limitation.

cheers

Ill Explain.

I want to create a PPT from QlikView app by Nprinting.
In that PPT, a slide contains a bar chart and table(both are same data only but represented as bar chart and table). And if I right click the chart, 'Edit Data' option is available, which opens an excel file. Then, If I modify the data in that excel, the values should be changed on both bar chart and Table. [simply, what I want is, the bar chart and Table should connected with same excel file].

Currently I achieved the bar chart in the PPT which can be editable.

And I hope Its achievable.

Hi @rvr1 ,

I know this is NPrinting forum but lets forget NPrinting and focus on capabilities of Power Point.

Could you please share power point file which does exactly what you need? Just create file with single slide and present us with the solution you want to implement.

back to NPrinting - Like I said erlier - as far as I am aware this will not be possible as data used for power point charts is stored in hidden system tables which you can only use with the chart assigned to it. However the workaround could be use of the "Data Table" element directly on the chart. So you would build your NPrinting power point chart using standard options like in the link: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2025/Content/NPrinting/PowerPointReports/Chart-Native-Tables.htm and then apply this styling to chart which effectively creates a table under the chart but that table is part of the chart so we are using one object only.

That is the only workaround I can see possible

cheers
