Columns


Fig. 01 – Cross Table – Columns

Figure 01 features a one-column Cross Table.


Fig. 02 – Columns Section of the Cross-Tab Data Editor – One Column

As a result of having one column specified, the grouping is established by the values of this column.

When more than one column is specified:


Fig. 04 – Columns Section of the Cross-Tab Data Editor – Two Columns (Product Name and Subassembly Name)

Grouping is rendered by the values of two columns from the Data Source. Values in the first column are output first. Values from the second column are output second:

Columns can be rotated using the angle property.

Rows


Fig. 07 – Cross Table – Rows

Figure 07 features a one row Cross Table. This one specified value determines the grouping.


Fig. 08 – Rows Section of the Cross-Tab Data Editor – One Row

All of the values of the specified row are represented on one level.


Fig. 09 – Row Grouping

Specify two rows:

A Cross Table is grouped in two levels vertically:

In a Cross Table, you do not have to have both a column and a row. For example, when a column is not specified, then grouping is done by rows. Figure 12 features an example of one of these reports:

Summary Cells

Summary cells set the rules for a cell’s formatting on the intersection of columns and rows.


Fig. 13 – Cross Table – Summary Cells

All values from the Data Source that are suitable for a particular condition are grouped in a Summary cell. The value of a Cross Table row and column is indicated by the intersection where the summary cell is placed.


Fig. 14 – Intersection of Rows and Columns – Summary Cells

The red rectangle indicates the summary cell where the Product and the Subassembly meet. This can be read as a “1 Door Base Curved Front” has 1 “Carcass Base Curved Front.” The rules of the grouping can be set with the Summary property of a summary cell.
