The screenshot you have attached is it your requirement ? Cos from what you have given i dont think the crosstab is effectively used here the code and the name represents the samething what is the point of repeating the same measure twice when you know that the dept.no  wise total will be same as dept. name total ?

Hi,

It looks to me like you just need to nest location within region and summarise the locations?

If i nest it will display all regions for all locations.
Is there any alternate solution to do this?

Sorry - I don't follow. What do you mean by this?

If you nest location within region, you will see the locations for a region within that region.

Can you explain what you mean?
