How to create and ditribute the report in Excel

Hi,

Please find the below snapshot. The report is built using text boxes. I want to distribute this report via email in Excel format.

i have gone through Nprinting. Can you please tell me whether i can use Nprinting for this scenario (for multiple Text objects).

Do it display the same format of the snapshot in Excel?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi,

Technicaly you can do it - it will not be the best option but it is doable. If you really want to follow this path I suggest you recreate expressions from your textboxes as nprinting formulas in Excel template:

Go to NPrinting and create Excel report and edit template

  • on the left NAV you will see fx Formulas section and you want to right click + add formula to create for each textbox one formula.
  • once all formulas are created then simply drag and drop each of them into excel cells
  • that's it

Personaly i would build it in QlikView as a table using ValueList and Pick() function a table which would represent the same structure. and then i would use it as a source table in NPrinting.

cheers
