There are several ways to automate PowerPoint report creation from Qlik dashboards instead of manual screenshots. Here are the best options:
1. Qlik NPrinting
NPrinting has excellent PowerPoint template support.
You can create professional, branded PowerPoint reports with:
Qlik charts/images (updated automatically)
Text, tables, variables, and multi-page layouts
Supports On-Demand generation and scheduled distribution.
This is the most mature solution for pixel-perfect PowerPoint reports.
2. Qlik Application Automation
You can build an automation that:
Applies selections
Exports charts as images
Uses Microsoft PowerPoint actions (via Office 365 connector) to populate slides
More flexible but requires more development effort.
3. Qlik Cloud Reports
Qlik Cloud has built-in reporting features that can export to PDF. While native PowerPoint export is still limited, many users combine it with Automations.
Recommendation:
If you need high-quality, repeatable, and maintainable PowerPoint reports, I strongly recommend Qlik NPrinting. It’s designed exactly for this use case and will save your user dozens of hours per month.
