Qlikview tips - QMC Document CALs setting

There are different ways in Qlikview Management Console (QMC) to set the .qvw remote access. Here we are talking about remote access using "Document CALs". First you need to create local windows users in the local server where QMC is installed. In Windows Server 2008 RC: Start->Administrative tool ->Server Manager ->Configuration ->Local Users and Groups ->Users In the window with the user list, right click->New User. Here you need to key in at least "User name" and "Full name" and password for the user. The "Full name" will be recognized in the QMC. Note: remember the password you just set, otherwise you need to reset it, as you can not see the password after you create a user. Second, open QMC->Documents->expand the document ->select the .qvw->Document CALs tab ->Assigned Users->add user (Click an icon with two persons at the right below ) ->in the search, key in the "Full name"

Qlikview tips - Sort table by expression columns

Qilkview is designed to use conditional sort (use expressions) on dimension column (DC)level, but not on Expression Column (we use EC for short in the rest part of the article) level. EC we talking about here are the columns that created in the Expression tab. Therefore, it took me some time to figure it out how to use it.

What if your clients want to select specific data based on the EC and sort the result in another column instead of the default fixed sort priority? Then you will find what we discuss here helpful. If you have tried to use expression to sort on the EC, you may already found out the Expression option is gray and can not be selected/edited for them in the  Sort  tab . At the beginning I thought I can not use it. But later I figure it out, you can process this in the Expression option in the DC part. But you can not use L

Use VBA Macro in Nprinting

Nprinting can use VBA macro in the excel report like normal excel report. Only thing that you need to pay attention is the format of the template and the output file. If the report template you are using is not .xlsm format, you can save it as .xlsm format. Or if you add macro in a non-xlsm format file, when you save it, you will got notification and then can save the file to .xlsm format. In order to change the output file format in nprinting, you can open the task>reports , then there is a list of the reports that used in the task.  There is a column called "Output Format" where identify the format of the output of the report, then you can modify it to .xlsm.
