Crosstab

[1#griff]

 I see the post at the bottom but I have a question. How many data items can be added as column headings for the one single measure?
                        Column 1 (Data Item 1)| Column 2(Data Item 2)
                        |Ethincity                       | Special Ed
Row ->School|Student Count(Only one Measure for both data items)


--------------------------------------------------
Im trying to create a crosstab that has more than one column each time I add another data item to the column area the report says it cant see the previous column. Can only one data item be added to the column area? Ex. I have a data Item for Ethnicity that data is store in one data item and Special Ed is store in another. 
          |Ethincity| Special Ed
School|Student Count

The report works fine if I just use one data item as column heading add another and it can see the previous column.

Thanks for the time and assistance,

Hey Tim,

It is my understanding you can have only 1 data item to use as a calculated measure. My example would be:

Revenue - see below.

Columns you can have:            January February March
Rows -
Food                                            $5           $10      $15
Beer                                            $6           $15       $20

You cannot have it calculate revenue then say covers also as the calulated measure in the crosstab.

Any GURUS please correct me if I off base on this. Or if you know of a way to complete.

Not sure if I understand the issue, but I have the feeling you need to understand the sequence in which to build the crosstab:

1. Drag 1st non-measure to the rows section of crosstab
2. Drag first measure to the columns section of crosstab
3. Drag 2nd non-measure and superimpose it above the measure (columns section)
4. Drag 2nd measure to the right of the 1st measure

The crosstab will then present:

                              |                     2nd non-measure                         |
                              |  1st measure  (label)  |  2nd measure (label)   |
1st non-measure  |          value                  |         value                   |
