Keep formatting on Excel Export

When exporting a table or pivot table, the cell and value colors should be preserved.  End users develop specifications for how to color these based on operational conditions, and often make selections based on these.  The formatting is a critical part of the actionable insights.

Does this issue still exist in August 2022 version ?

Hi @Trick17 , there are a few ideas open regarding preserving pivot table functionalities on export.

@Meghann_MacDonald can you provide some indication with regard to the time frame in which we could expect the 'export with formatting' functionality for Pivot Tables?

It has been a welcome addition to Straight Tables, to be sure, but my client makes frequent use of heatmaps in Pivot Tables. Having to manually reconstruct the same tables as Straight Tables only to be able to export them with formatting is less than ideal.

Hi @stijn_verhoeff  - there is no timeline to add formatting support of Pivot Tables on QSEoW. 

As an FYI you will find formatting support on Qlik Cloud for the pivot table using the background color expression field.

@Andrew_Kruger thanks for your quick response! The fact that this does work on Qlik Cloud is good to know. 

I'm not sure how easy this is to port to QSEoW, but I would like to confirm that there is still a real and current need for this functionality on enterprise for the foreseeable future.

Qlik don't care about QSEoW anymore, just like NPrinting
