Nprinting Dynamic Name with variables

Dear Qlik Experts,

I want to give a dynamic name to on-demand word docx and I am using a QV variable to do that. The variable gives names based on the selection i,e if i select "APPLE"  on a dashboard that exact word will reflect on the file name. I have an issue here, if i select "SWEET APPLE "  I am getting the file name as SWEET+APPLE. I mean if there is a space between two words I am getting '+' symbol between two words. Is there anyway I can solve this?

Thanks in advance,

Arjun Reddy

Hi,

You are using the dynamic naming feature (mandatory when you enable a cycle) with a QlikView variable used to compose the final file name. The file with the report will be saved in a Windows filesystem, so it must respect the Windows filesystem rules about charachters. For example some special characters are not allowed.

The consequence is that you must be sure that the used QlikView variable never uses a forbidden character otherwise you will have an error during report generation.

Best Regards,

Ruggero
