Copy sheet to clipboard and resize picture

Dear all,

I know this problem is not that new, but I have not been able to find a (proper) solution so far.

What I want to achieve is:

  • that the visible content of a sheet is copied to the clipboard and
  • the image stored in the clipboard is cropped (e.g. 10px from the right, 15px from the top, 20px from the botton and 25 px from the left)
  • the cropped image is available from the clipboard

Zooming the sheet and resizing/rescaling the image afterwards does not seem to be the solution.

Has anyone solved this issue so far?

Best regards and thanks in advance

Marcus

Have you tried to use the report feature of Qlikview?  You can add a button to your sheet to print report and scale the report to the size you'd like.  However, this will print the sheet to a pdf.  The PDF will give you more options to crop and edit, if you have adobe acrobat.

Reports > Edit Reports > Add Report then move the report screen down some and control + A on your dashboard then drag and drop the whole thing into the report and size appropriately.  Add a button with the action to print report with the correct report ID.

Edit:  You could also change the action of the button to print sheet without creating a report, but the report will give you more options.

Hej!

Thank you very much for your quick reply, but: yes, I know this "solution" as well, but it is not what I want. What I want is to have "the right image" available on the clipboard in order to be able to paste it whereever I like - without any workaround.
