Pivot and P&L Extension limitations when exporting to Excel
Hello,
We are trying to build P&L Reports in Qlik Sense (September 2019) These reports will have:
Need for coloring
Bold and Italic
Indentation
Export to Excel with formatting
* We are expecting the below:
Having a supported pivot table that meets requirements for formatting and export to excel.
* What is the actual result?
Supported solutions are coming up short either on the formatting needs or the data layout needs
We Tried using the: 1- Standard pivot table and it is lacking the following: • When exported to excel coloring is lost • When exported to excel, numbers are set to Text Data Type and requires select on Excel to switch to Number Type • Bold and Italic formatting not available 2- New P&L Extension and it is lacking the following: • When exported to excel coloring is lost • Limited to two dimensions • Limited to 9 measures (Not enough for our requirement)
These are some of the limitations of the Qlik Sense standard visualizations and the governed extensions. You could try Vizlib (they give you 5 licenses to try for free first), but it's not cheap to license.
