PPT Generation using Automation - Filtering not Working
I'm using automation to generate a PowerPoint (PPT) report from my Qlik sheets. Although I apply filters within the automation workflow, the final PPT report is generated without applying those filters it shows the unfiltered data instead.
Has anyone faced this issue or knows what might be going wrong? I'm looking for a way to ensure that the filters applied in automation are reflected correctly in the generated PPT.

Hello,
This usually happens because the automation's report generation process isn't properly inheriting or applying the filters you've set. The key is to explicitly apply those filters within your automation workflow, right before the report content is captured. For tools like Qlik Application Automation, this means using specific blocks such as Select Field Value or Add Selection to Report. If you're using Qlik NPrinting, you'll need to create and manage the filters directly within NPrinting itself and ensure they're linked to your report or task. Always double-check the order of operations in your automation and validate that the filters are indeed being applied within the automation's session to ensure they reflect correctly in your PPT.
