Can we create Stacked Bar chart in NPrinting PowerPoint Template

Hi All,

I am trying to create editable stacked bar chart using native charts in the PowerPoint Template of Qlik NPrinting. I observed that pivot table doesn't work in NPrinting, the only option left is to use side by side bar graph if I don't want to use image to get the chart as it is from Qlik Sense.

Please confirm if my understanding is correct.

Hi,

If you have a column and it is always called Category you place its tag in the template and all will be fine. Data will be exported from the connection every time the PowerPoint report will be generated and Qlik NPrinting will include all rows exported to build the chart.

Pivot tables are not supported in PowerPoint reports but they are supported in Excel reports.

As alternative you can import into PowerPoint templates as images.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Hi rpc

Thank you for your response.

I have checked the attached conversation. In our case, the values in the filed are dynamic (i.e.. Column values are dynamic) and may change everytime. How to achieve it?

I can't double check now...

but i remember trying to achieve the same in the past and i was not able to.  With the current functionalities you will not be able to have dynamic "stacks" in your bar chart in PPT template.

I am interested what Ruggero will say, but i think he is likely to confirm what i just wrote rpc

cheers

Hi,

I have not clearly understand. In any case if you mean that columns are always the same and their data row vary Qlik NPrinting will use all of them in the chart.

Instead if you mean that the number of columns can vary Qlik NPrinting is not able to add or remove them and will use the ones you set when you build the chart.

Hi,

In my case, column i.e categories are frequently changing and cannot be fixed as shown in the below screenshot -

Pivot.PNG

If Category values i.e. Furniture, Office Supplies, Technology etc. gets updated or appended with more values, fixed column way would not work, right?

Thanks,
