Wrapping in Cross Tab [message #632973]

Hello

Is it possible to wrap the columns in a Cross Tab element to the next section when there are too many columns ? The next section would have the Row headers, just the remaining columns will appear in the next section.

For example, if there are 20 columns (based upon the data off course), in the Cross Tab, is it possible to have 1-10 in the first Cross Tab and the remaining 11 - 20 in the next Cross Tab ?

Please advice.

Update -

I am using BIRT 2.5.2

I stumbled into the "Column Area" tab in the Property Editor and started playing with the Page Break. I think this would work, unless the report users want the next section to be displayed just below the first section instead of in the next page.

This seems to be hard to do, right ?

Jay,

If you do not want the page break you could always put the same crosstab
right below the first and then filter the top one based on dimension
values and then filter the bottom on dimension values. For example the
top one would be filtered to show values for last year and the bottom
one would be filtered to show this year. Does this make sense?

Thanks Jason.

So, I have 2 options to consider:
1- Use the Page Break or the Page Break Interval in the Column Area
2- Create 2 Cross Tabs and apply filters.

Let me work on the report and will keep you posted.

Hi Jason

I worked it out with the users to display the data in one Cross Tab across the rows with no column split. So, I evaded the trouble of creating a second Cross Tab and filtering.

Thanks much for your time and responses.
