NPrinting dynamic report naming where variables do not work as expected

[Frank_S]

Description

The full formula behind the variable used in NPrinting Dynamic Report Naming appears in the report name output rather than the value of the variable.

 

Cause:

A change to NPrinting was done with NPrinting that resolves a critical issue that results in the requirement to update your existing variable or create a new similarly named variable

Resolution:

• Open your Variable Editor in QlikView or Qlik Sense and find the variable that is not working for example MyVariableNP
• Create an Identical Variable using the same variable formula with a slightly different name ie: MyVariableNPv2
• Add the '=' parameter in front of the variable formula to new new variable and save the QVF or QVW application
• Regenerate the NPrinting connection cache for the QVW or QVF that contains the updated variable formula
• Open your NPrinting report and switch to the new variable to report name cycling and to your report template
• Report name output is generated as desired

Please note: 

• If you do not use the variable affected in any of your chart columns, it is NOT necessary to create a second variable. You may simply modify the original variable  and variable formula - ie: place an '=' sign in front of the variable formula - to resolve the issue.
