# PowerPoint reports

Qlik NPrinting supports exporting QlikView and Qlik Sense data to PowerPoint slides. PowerPoint slides are automatically updated when a report is generated. Data is filtered according to recipient, report, and task. Only filtered data is saved in generated reports.

## Feature overview

### PowerPoint report templates

Create reports and report templates, where you embed QlikView objects and variables. You can preview the result and make changes before saving.

### Page feature in report templates

Use the page feature to create separate slides in PowerPoint for each field value. You can have more than one page field in a presentation, but on separate slides.

### Individual slides for multiple field values

Create a PowerPoint slide for every combination of values from two or more fields. The first steps are taken in QlikView. You can rearrange the order of the generated slides.

### Native tables and charts

Embed QlikView tables and columns in your PowerPoint report templates and apply new styling. Create a PowerPoint chart using native QlikView tables. You can create new charts, or replicate QlikView ones, by adding column tags as the chart data source in the Table node.

## Troubleshooting

### Excel worksheets in PowerPoint report templates

You cannot embed an Excel worksheet in a PowerPoint report template. This will cause Qlik NPrinting Designer to crash. You can insert the worksheet without using the Qlik NPrinting Designer.

#### New template

Create a .pptx file in PowerPoint without using the Qlik NPrinting Designer. Insert the worksheet and save the .pptx. Then use the .pptx file as a report template.

#### Existing template

If you have already created the PowerPoint template, export it, open the .zip file generated by Qlik NPrinting and double-click the .pptx file inside. Insert the Excel worksheet, save the resulting PowerPoint and overwrite the exitingQlik NPrinting template by uploading the updated .zip.
