Hi,

What do you mean? Bringing to report B a crosstab that is originally in report A? You can but, as its name says, it will only bring the "Layout" so you we'll need a query with the same name and data items in report B in order to work.

Regards,

Bark

Hi venkatgowda!

Yes you are right, but this Solution doesn't help me! What i don't want is to Duplikate the query itself!!

Layout component references are (as the name suggests) just for layout components, not for queries or data items. It would be a good enhancement to be able to set a "template" query like this, but the current product doesn't support this in Layout Component References.

Cheers!
