Export Images and URLs in Excel Reports
Qalyptus now supports exporting URLs and images from Qlik Sense tables into Excel and PDF reports.
- For URLs, use the Excel formula
HYPERLINK()
to transform plain URLs into clickable hyperlinks in Excel and PDF reports. - For images, use the Excel formula
IMAGE()
to display them inside Excel cells and make them visible in generated reports.
Using formulas gives you more control over how hyperlinks appear and how images are sized within cells.

Row-Level Formula Support in Excel
Previously, Qalyptus only supported formulas on columns (e.g., calculating totals using SUM()
).
With this release, you can now apply formulas on rows as well.
For example: calculate Average Price per Unit using Sales / Quantity
.

Improved Table Formatting in Word Reports
When exporting full tables (not by column), Qalyptus now applies the font style defined in your template's object tag to the table content in the Word report.
For example, if the tag font is set to "Arial", the entire exported table will use the Arial font for consistency.
Full support for tables with dynamic column names
Before this release, tables or pivot tables with dynamic column names (using variables or expressions) were supported only if the column name remained consistent when all selections were cleared (i.e., the name changed only when a selection was applied).
With this release, Qalyptus fully supports tables with dynamic column names that can change either after a selection or due to data updates.
Your existing reports will continue to work as expected. Follow the steps below to take advantage of this enhancement:
- In Qalyptus Cloud, Open the template report.
- In the Apps tab, refresh the app metadata.
- Navigate to the Overview tab and remove the table or pivot table object.
- Go to the Objects tab and re-add the object as a table.
- Return to the Overview tab, and insert the table object into the template file to replace the existing shortcodes.
- Click Preview to confirm that everything works as expected.
For dynamic column names, Qalyptus will now assign a unique Column ID to identify each column. This ensures compatibility even if column names change later in Qlik Sense object.
Support for Variables in Word headers and footers.
With this release, Qalyptus enables the use of variables in Word document headers and footers, allowing dynamic content such as report titles, dates, or other contextual information to be automatically inserted and updated based on your data.
Bug Fixes & Improvements
Improved the connection process with the Qlik form
Some users previously experienced issues when connecting or refreshing metadata from their Qlik Sense apps.
Enhanced the Qlik Sense API renewal mechanism
Qalyptus now automatically renews the configured Qlik Sense API token two hours before it expires.
