Dynamically display column headings in list header.

[Raghuvir]

Hi all,

we have a requirement where we need to display values of a data item on the list header dynamically. for e.g. we have a data item for account name which has the follwing values.

Account id         Amount
A                          10
B                           5
C                           8
D                          20
E                          25
and so on.

what we need here is, we need to display account id on the coulmn heading in the list report dynamically and the values should be populated in the list row.

Output required
A       B      C      D     E
10     5       8      20   25

we require this in a list format. is  this possible ?

attaching the format in excel.

Why don you use a crosstab? For what I see in the Excel attached, a crosstab would do just fine.

If it really has to be a list, you're probably looking at creating a calculation for each column:

AccountID_A: total (if(Account id = 'A') then (Amount) else (0))
AccountID_B: total (if(Account id = 'B') then (Amount) else (0))

Tedious, and possibly quite an overhead for the report. Plus you've got the possibility of new accounts which wouldn't get picked up by default...try to convince them that a crosstab is the way to go.
