Multiple Crosstab acros report behaviour

edited January 2004 in End User
Hi!
In your demos all crosstabs are placed in detail band. When I put crosstab
in detail band I get multiple crosstab (depend on how many detail records
are in dataset) instead of one.
Can you help me please (RB 7.03 on D7 EE)

The difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no
difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is....

    You need to set the Report.DataPipeline to nil (). The detail band
    will print once for each record in the Report.DataPipeline. Then the
    crosstab will traverse the Crosstab.DataPipeline and build a crosstab.

    Try using the Crosstab wizard and it will configure the report properly for
    you. ;)

    Hi!
    Is that the same for EURExplorer work? I.e. when .exe is fixed and on client
    side user want to create one crosstab, is that possible to change?
    If is, please how?
    THX!

    I do not understand the question. Yes, ReportBuilder works the same for the
    end-user as it does for the Delphi developer.

    Simplest way to create a crosstab is to use the crosstab wizard. But you can
    easily do it manually as well. Create a new report. When the Data workspace
    is used to create a query, RB will internall set the Report.DataPipeline to
    the first query that you create. However, from the Design workspace you can
    select Report | Data and use the dialog set DataPipeline to . Then
    connect the crosstab to the data.

    If you have a master/detail relationship you can connect the
    report.DataPipeline to the master and connect the crosstab to the detail.
    Then the report will produce a crosstab for each master record.
