Shrink Pivot Table to Fit

Hello Everyone,

I have a Pivot table that I want to add to an NPrinting report from a Qlik Sense app.  Unfortunately, no matter what sizing of the image I choose, it won't fit it into the Details area.  It either cuts it off, or if I set it to "Auto-Size", it will spread it out over multiple pages.  Is there a way I can get my Pivot Table -> Image -> Properly sized in NPrinting?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi

  • What template are you using? HTML, XLS, PPT, DOC PixelPerfec?
  • Could you attach screeenshot of your pivot table in QlikSense and provide what is a resolution of screen the snapshot is taken in and what is a Zooim setting in your web browser when you take this snapshot (is is set to default 100%)
  • What is a designed outcome? PDF, JPG, PNG?
  • If you are using Office template - did you set printing are in your templates?
  • What is a your PDF printer printing to (is A4 size, A3 size? or any other size?)

There so many factors affecting what you are trying to do that we have to be specific what we are trying to do.

cheers

Lech

Hi Lech! me too, same issue, I've got a pivot table with 24 columns, but just 1 row,

I've try every configuration in designer (dont fit,fit inside,fit width,fit heightl,stretch),

I've been testing all formats:

with all output formats:

output formats.png

But no result,  the image is always getting cut.

I've have plenty of pivot tables in my app, and looks like NP17.3 still not processing well the image object coming from a pivot table.

Too bad we can't get either the NP table object from a pivot table in sense, is it coming in the future releases of NP 17.3 or more??

Thanks a lot. If you have any other idea for testing, let me know

Hi Heloise,

Just like i mentioned above:

  • RDP to your NPrinting Server (the one where the Engine is installed), Open QlikSense Hub using NPrinting service account user and attach screeenshot of your pivot table in QlikSense and provide what is a resolution of screen the snapshot is taken in and what is a "Zoom" setting in your web browser when you take this screenshot (is is set to default 100%)

NPrinting is taking a screenshot of the image using default server screen resolution (the one which is set on your Qlik NPrinting ENGINE machine! So If the image of pivot table on ENGINE box has a scroll bar that is how it is going to apear in your image!

Scaling is used for different purpose. It is used to strech/fit/kepp aspect etc of that image.

Understanding this will help you with further development.

Workaround: If you could use XLS template i would suggest:

cheers

Thanks a lot,

for some reasons, once I start playing with excel options in the NP Designer, the report doesn't work, preview sends me an error, and the report is not generated.

Re-Generate your connection and Re create all your "entities" on left hand side of template editor. Some entities from there are missing in your source app.

Dear all,

Old post, but none-less still actual. I am facing the same problems with NPrinting and Qlik Sense. Can Qlik give an update when they will do something about it and make sure that the export of Pivot tables scales?

Kind regards, Gerald

Hi all,

I'm struggling  with the same issue of having a Qlik Sense pivot table scale down, so it can be fit into a piece of paper. How did you solve the cases?

Kind regards
