I'm trying to Export Pivot Table/ Straight Tabel to Excel along with images in Qlikview11. Images are shown in the first column (dimension).
Check out this link to a Blog by Stefan Walter
http://www.qlikblog.at/971/qliktip-32-exporting-multiple-objects-single-excel-document/
Just copy the code on his blog into the Edit Module, CTRL M of Qlikview and you can just rename the charts you want exported as an image
This worked for me, I hope it helps
Alan
Thanks, but I can't access the zip file link posted on the page from work. Is it placed in the form of plain files somewhere else?
This code is for exporting object as an image into Excel, I need a combination, data plus images shown with it in each cell.
Here is the Script, Paste this into the Edit Module for your macro's
The only change you need to make is to name the correct Charts
aryExport(0,0) = "CH42" CH42 maybe changed to "CH01" or whatever excel chart you want to export as an image

Thank you. At least I can export the whole object an an image now.
Still need to figure out how the pivot table with images can be exported.
It does both, Have you even tried it
When I try this code on the pivot table, it exports the whole table into excel as an image. I need the first column (containing images) as images and rest as data.
Oh ok, I am not sure how to that or even if it can be done, sorry I could not help
thanks for this very useful
