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.
Bug Fixes & Improvements
SAML Authentication
Fixed an issue where the certificate password could become inconsistent, causing authentication failures.
Template Editor
Fixed an issue where deleted objects still appeared after using the search object feature. Resolved a bug where object renaming did not work properly.
PivotTable Expand/Collapse
Fixed an error that occurred when Qlik Sense PivotTables set to "Fully expanded" conflicted with Qalyptus template settings like "Expand all" or "Collapse all", causing report generation to fail.
