NPrinting - Previous Quarter in Filter for Excel Reports

[christiana]

Hi,

I'm trying to create an Excel report with NPrinting. This report should run once a quarter and always show the numbers of the previous quarter. How can I set up a filter in NPrinting so that the Excel report is showing only previous quarter figures?

I do not want to use a the date selection in the Sales formula in Qlikview (e.g. sum({<CALENDER.DATE={">=$(=QuarterStart(num(QuarterStart(today()))-1))<=$(=QuarterEnd(num(QuarterStart(today()))-1))"}>} Sales) ), but I would like to filter in NPrinting.

How could I do this?

Many thanks for your help!

Ok - found it out. Perhaps this might help also other NPrinting users:

A variable for the Previous Quarter needs to be defined in QV, in this cased I named it vPrevQuarter:

'=((CALENDER.DATE>='& chr(39) &  QuarterStart(num(QuarterStart(today()))-1) &  chr(39) &') and (CALENDER.DATE<='  & chr(39) & QuarterEnd(num(QuarterStart(today()))-1) & chr(39) & '))'

And then I could call the variable with NPrinting :

Attention: "Evaluate" needs to be ticked.
