July 23, 2024: What’s New in Qlik Cloud?

Tabular reporting – Formatting of dates and numbers against locale settings for PDF output

PDF files produced from tabular reporting can now respect locale formatting of dates and numbers. The following capabilities have been introduced:

• For report tasks, the report developer can define the locale to be used for dates and numbers during task execution when the PDF format is selected.

• For on-demand tabular reports to be produced in PDF format, the user’s Qlik Cloudlocale will determine the formatting of any dates and numbers in the report.

• When generating a preview in PDF format from the Qlik add-in for Microsoft Excel, the user’s Microsoft Excel locale will determine the formatting of any dates and numbers in the report.
