Force New Column on group change with left to right column traversal

rbuser

I need to create a 3-column report traversing left-to-right where a new
column is forced on the change of a group value.

I notice in earlier versions of Report Builder that forcing a new column
on the changing of a group in a columnar report did not work if left-to-
right column-traversal was chosen. i.e. it only worked in top-to-bottom
column-traversal.

I am using version 11.01 of Report Builder. Does it work with left-to-
right column-traversal in this version?

If it doesn't, what alternatives are there to enable me to create my
report?

Many thanks,

Tim Pepper.

Hi Tim,

The limitations that existed with earlier versions of ReportBuilder and
horizontal traversal columns still exist for RB 11. Starting a new column
will essentially start a new page if you are using horizontal traversal.

The alternative would be to manually access your dataset and insert values
where you need them on the report.

Thanks again Nico.

Are there any examples of writing a report at runtime. I am new to both
Delphi and Report Builder.

Thanks,

Tim.

Hi Tim,

The Developer's Guide includes examples of creating reports completely in
code. Also take a look at our new support resource, rbWiki. This includes
a wealth of articles and examples on using and creating reports.

Specifically take a look at the "Code Based" section.
