Introducing Qlik Cloud Tabular Reporting

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

We are excited to introduce tabular reporting from Qlik Cloud. Now customers can address common, centrally managed, tabular report distribution requirements from within a Qlik Sense Application! With tabular reporting, report developers can create custom and highly formatted XLS documents from Qlik data and Qlik visualizations; Governed Report Tasks can burst reports to any stakeholder, ensuring that the Qlik platform is the source for operational decisions, customer communications and more.

Some feature highlights:

• Report template creation, using data and visualizations from a Qlik Sense App, all with the familiarity of Microsoft Office 365 using Add-in technology
• Qlik Cloud governed report task control from within a Qlik Sense App
• In app distribution list management to support burst report distribution to any stakeholder (internal or external)
• Execution of Qlik NPrinting authored XLS report templates uploaded to Qlik Cloud
• Powered by the Qlik Reporting Service, reports are delivered from a scalable cloud service that solves complex enterprise reporting jobs

@ester_pr  please post to the other forum as Sonja mentioned.  Have you checked the filter name included in the recipient file exactly matches the name of the filter in the Filters section?  

[ester_pr]

@Andrew_Kruger Thanks, yes I will post in  the other forum,
And the filters are the exact name

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind, is there currently a way to plan report tasks based on active directory groups? Or do you plan implementing an integrated way to use the IdP Connection for that? Would be much easier than maintaining an excel file.

I got the same error. But fixed it by turning off Section Access (hopefully this will be changed in a future update)

A bug? I found was if anything is in 'show column if' (even just a 1)  it doesn't show the column in the Excel table option. I had to make them blank.

Another change I made was to change the load script to 'automatically generated load script' as shown below. This allows a direct load of any User additions.

I also used the Brilliant new Container option a lot. That is putting all charts and tables into a Qlik Container then loading the one Container chart into Excel (it often still renders tables not too well but did work arounds like putting tables on the bottom of this Container etc)

Overall another excellent addition to Qlik. I hope the above issues are fixed and also to allow Pivot tables to be added.

Changed script 

Replace LOAD
"Name" AS [DL_DISTRIBUTION_RECIPIENT_NAME],
"Email" AS [DL_DISTRIBUTION_EMAIL],
SubField([Filters],',') AS [DL_DISTRIBUTION_FILTERS],
SubField([Groups],',') AS [DL_DISTRIBUTION_GROUP_NAMES]
//FROM "lib://0. Management:DataFiles/reporting_source_edca58c3-9dba-4397-9476-f68c647fdc37.xlsx"
//(ooxml, embedded labels, table is DL_DISTRIBUTION_SVC_USERS_QCS)
;
//level 1
LOAD
Name,
Email,
"Filters",
"Groups"
FROM [lib://connect:OneDrive_qlikservice/ExcelUploadedQlik/ReportingExcel.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is DL_DISTRIBUTION_SVC_USERS_QCS);

@Sonja_Bauernfeind , any plans to add Word documents as an output option?

Hi Sonja!!

Do you know if these tabular reports can be copied to Cloud Storage like S3, Dropbox or GCS?

Thanks
