create a report in Nprinting

[ali_hijazi]

Hello

I want to create an Nprinting report not based on an existing table in Qlik app
the report is very simple
I want to add 4 dimensions and an expression
I know that the expression is created in teh formulas node on the left
but how can I add dimensions to the report (excel format)
Kindly advise

also is there a way to reference a master measure in Nprinting?

1. The best way to create such a report in NPrinting is to have a Qlik Sense / QlikView chart with the dimensions and the expressions you need. You can hid the sheet if you prefer that this object is not visible to users.
Notice that you don't necessary need a straight table, you can create almost any Qlik chart with the dimensions and the expression you need for this purpose. 

2. it may be possible to create a straight table directly in Excel if your dimensions are already present in other charts. In this case, imports the charts and drag each dimension you need in the template recreating the table. For the expression, you can use Office formulas.
Anyway, this workaround seems unnecessarily complicated to me and I would not use it in a production environment.

Hi @ali_hijazi 

Others already mentioned that you cannot just drag/drop master dimensions or measures - this is not how NPrinting works. Instead you need to use objects which render hypercubes (charts / tables) which then can be exported as data or image and that content is then used to build report.

It seems you are learning NPrinting. If that is the case i strongly suggest going through documentation and understanding how things work with NPrinting. Using AI when learning NPrinting is also very bad idea as it hallucinates more than anything - so make sure you are actually studying help site or youtube videos rather than use chatgpt when learning.

@Lech_Miszkiewicz yes I agree with the AI comments, we are seeing at least with NPrinting they hallucinate 🙂
