Title: Crosstab report group header question
Post by: Chitra_Maithani on 20 Feb 2014 09:48:35 PM
Hi,

I have a Crosstab report and would like to show the group item horizontally (instead of vertically). Please see the attachment - the picture explains better what I am trying to achieve. I am able to create group item as a header in a List report. For the Crosstab report, I have tried to add a Crosstab Space above the Product Line row and move the Product Line data item into it - this will return 'The data item reference in the crosstab space is not valid'.

Does anyone have any suggestions what I can do? thank you.

Thanks

Hi,

just check the attached file for excel output and let me know if that's the desired output.

i have just changed the data to zero.
