How to show label from "select range" in PowerPoint chart using Nprinting 17

Hi, I have a table in a Qlik Sense App with two measures, one in an Amount Form and the other in a Percentage Form. I would like to create a PowerPoint Report using Nprinting 17: I need to create a bar chart with a double data labels (both amount and percentage form);

to do this, I select percentage set in Labels Option->Value From Cells but report's generation causes Power Point crash.

How can I solve this problem?

I try to give you some details:

I am using qliksenseserver 12.5.2 (February 2018), Nprinting February 2018 SR1 Version: 18.0.4, Power Point 2016.

1. I loaded my table in Nprinting; in this example, my measures are Stanziamento_1 and Stanziamento(%)_1; t5 is my dimension;

2. I created a bar chart in my ppt template using Nprinting tag for dimension t5 and measure Stanziamento_1;

3. In Format Data Labels -> Label Option, I inserted Stanziamento(%)_1 in Value From Cells (4).

After report's extraction the following error is generated:

I tried to click on repair button but at the end slide 4 in my ppt is a blank sheet.

Is it possible that your % values are not numbers (but they are exported as a text and therefore MsPowerPoint cannot use it in a chart?

If i were you i would start by extracting this table to NPrinitng Excel report to see how data is shown when landing in excel. I am 100 sure you will get little green triangle when you export it to excel suggesting your data is not a number but text.,...

Then you would have to make sure that the format in Qlik is numeric...

No, my measure is a number, I used this measure in an other bar chart and extraction is perfect! In the chart's excel source my values are numbers. Anyway, thanks for your answer. Other suggestions?

well,

in this case we might need little bit more help from you.

  • whiuch exact version of NPrinitng and Qlik are you using (provide SR versions too as they differ)
  • any chance we can mock up your solution and try to recreate problem
    • sharing of the template and reduced version of Qlik app would be a help

On weekend i might be able to try to replicate this issue.

regards

Lech
