Title: how Format Cross tab resuts Top to bottom, then left to right
Post by: bujji on 02 Mar 2009 09:56:00 AM
Hello All,

in my report i have a simple cross tab, it sinmply contains 1 Cross Tab Row (some date column) , 1 Cross Tab Column ( quarter name) , measure column is some amount.

now when i run report it has some 90 rows it is displaying in 3 pages,

now the question is how can i set my cross tab to display 30 rows (as usual from top to bottom) in one page , and then 31 to 60 just next to 1 to 30 (i.e,  left to right) then 61 to 91 just next to 31 to 60



so my cross tab finally looks like this below

You can have 3 Cross tabs with Diff Queries [Just copy paste the query and crosstab twice] and add a filter to retrieve the relevant rows in each and every cross tab...

But However it has its limitations when selected date from prompt?

(i.e) if it is quarter report or else some monthly it is working fine

but when it is using different dates ex(from jan 22 nd to Mar 7) then it is a wont(actually i didn't planned after that)

anyway

Thanks to all whom ever replied & also tried atleast

Best Regards
