Cross Tab only uses Count when data field is a string

rbuser

Hi,
I have a cross tab where the data field I wish to show is a string. It
insist on using the count function .. but I don't want this .. I want it to
just show the value itself. I'm designing the report as an end user.

What am I doing wrong or is this a restriction of RB itself ?

Hi Paul,

Crosstabs are desiged to show calculations based on two or more field
values. I would suggest creating a grid if you would just like to display
field values.

Article: Learning ReportBuilder

Learning ReportBuilder is a complete learning system designed to teach end
users how to build a range of reports. This system includes a 125-page PDF
file, a stand-alone application complete with a database, and a help file.
The PDF file is comprised of a series of tutorials that step end users
through the process of building reports as simple as a table listing and as
complex as crosstabs. The tutorials also introduce conceptual aspects of
report building along the way. The application is used in conjunction with
the tutorials so that the learning experience is interactive. The end user
just prints out the PDF file, runs the application, and learns
ReportBuilder. The help file is accessible from the application, so all
three tools work together to provide a seamless learning environment.

Learning ReportBuilder installs into C:\Program Files\LearnReportBuilder.
When the system has successfully installed, a complete set of instructions
appears in the form of a 'ReadMe' doc, so the end user knows just what to do
upon installation.

Hi Nico,
Thanks for your reply I will look at grid. I think you misunderstand me
however, I am a developer and have a licence but I am creating some reports
for our clients using the end user prospective ... our clients can take our
reports and alter them as they wish.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the clairification and sorry for the confusion. If you take a
look at the crosstab demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\2. CrossTabs\
directory, you can get a good idea what can be done with the crosstab
component. For a fantastic grid component, I would recommend taking a look
at Grid Pack, a more advanced grid\crosstab suite for ReportBuilder.
