Title: boxtype none issue
Post by: msm on 04 Mar 2010 04:54:52 AM
In my report we have 2 columns with different measures but it meases-up the layout

This is what we want;
wk 1wk2wk 3
435

But after using boxtype =none to merge 2 columns It shows the value of column 2 below week1 etc.

Can anybody help me?

Hi

Try unlocking the column, add a table with 2 columns and then add your fields to each of the columns in the table

Quoteboxtype =none

Removes the Cell completely from the view, Hides it really.

I realize I haven't answered your question I just wanted to point out that "Box Type = None" will completely hide the cell and any cells in a cross tab to the right will be automatically shifted

The way it sounds to me is that you thought Box Type applied to the Border, but it does not it applies to the entire cell including all contents.

If you already were aware of this then I appolize for assuming incorrectly  :)

Unlock the column, select the data item inside the list column and set Visible property to No

this will solve your issue
