Limitations

For information about general limitations, see Limitations.

  • There is a limitation for data transfer between Qlik Engine and P&L pivot. This limits each request for data to 10000 elements, for example, 1000 rows and 10 columns. P&L pivot can make automatic requests for more data using pagination.

    You can set the limit of how much data to request with Pagination > Max pagination loops. The default value is 20000 elements (20k cells) and the maximum value is 40000 elements.

    You can also modify the error message displayed to the user when the data limit is exceeded. The recommended workaround when the data limit is exceeded is to apply filters to the data to limit the data transfer.

  • It is not possible to convert a P&L pivot chart to another visualization or convert another visualization to a P&L pivot chart.
