What is tabular reporting?

Tabular reporting is built for spreadsheet-style report authoring and consumption. Using the Qlik add-in for Microsoft Excel, develop report templates based on your Qlik Sense app. When templates are ready, upload them into the Qlik Sense app for use in scheduled and on-demand reporting.

Data can be added in a number of ways, including:

  • Chart images

  • Column-level tabular data from a chart

  • Variables defined in the source Qlik Sense app

  • Expressions using the native Qlik Sense calculations

  • Native Excel calculations applied to tabular data

You can loop the report elements over field and chart values, creating new filtered sections and worksheets based on these discrete values.
