Hello
Got a Qlik Sense dashboard

I created an Nprinting report (excel pivot table)
on the left of the Nprinting template editor I can see the calculated dimension listed:

I added the calculated dimension to a straight table in excel template in nprinting the same way I added the other fields:

All the other fields display data similar to what is in Qlik except for this calcuated dimension which is alwasys displaying null:

Hello @ali_hijazi 

Calculated Dimensions are not supported

Unsupported Qlik Sense objects

You should not create connections to Qlik Sense apps that use the following:

• Always one selected value for fields
• Calculated dimensions
• Drill-down dimensions
• Alternate states
• Sheet triggers

Suggest that you move your calculated dimension to the load script so it appears as a standard dimension in the Qlik App. 

Then reload the NPrinting connection to view the changes in NPrinting.

If needed, 

• create a copy of the app
• Use the copy for reporting purposes only
• Modify the load script of the copied app (this leaving the original app so as to not interfere with your business users app experience.

Kind regards...
