I have a task to create a report (simple excel table is fine), but the Qlik Sense app does not have an existing chart object (table, chart, etc) to use as the source for the excel table. A colleague suggested that Nprinting does not need a pre-existing object from the app, and that you can create an nPrinting excel table sourced directly from data elements (columns in the data model) within the Qlik Sense app.
I have never heard of that. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Dave
Is that possible - Yes in theory, you can build solution using just fields as levels/dimensions and NPrinting formulas as measures. So technically it can be done...BUT
Bottom line is I would never-ever suggest to someone to use this method. It would be against any good practice I have ever belived in.
You can come back to your collegue and say yes it is possible and tell that he should do it and maintain it 🙂
If I were you I would never agree to such approach.

Perfect, thanks. I will add the charts first to the app, and then let nPrinting consume them, as it was intended.
