I have some data that I’ve staged in my database as such:
RowHeader ColumnHeader Value
Row1 Col1 (1,1)
Row1 Col2 (1,2)
Row1 Col3 (1,3)
Row1 Col4 (1,4)
Row1 Col5 (1,5)
Row2 Col1 (2,1)
Row2 Col2 (2,2)
... ... ...
RowN ColM (N,M)
And, as you might guess, I’m putting this in a cross tab in the following manner:
Columns:
ColumnHeader
Rows: Summerized Fields:
RowHeader Max of Value
And this generates the following report:
Col1 Col2 Col3 ... ColM
Row1 (1,1) (1,2) (1,3) ... (1,M)
Row2 (2,1) (2,2) (2,3) ... (2,M)
... ... ... ... ...
RowN (N,1) (N,2) (N,3) ... (N,M)
Now, this report spans multiple pages and on each page, I’d like to always display the data from the first couple of rows and columns (a little like freezing panes in Excel). The number of rows and columns that need to always be displayed is constant. E.g. Let’s say, on each page, I want columns 1 to 3 and row 1 to appear:
-- Page 1 --
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5
Row1 (1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5)
Row2 (2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5)
Row3 (3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5)
Row4 (4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5)
Row5 (5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5)
-- Page 2 --
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col6 Col7
Row1 (1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,6) (1,7)
Row6 (6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,6) (6,7)
Row7 (7,1) (7,2) (7,3) (7,6) (7,7)
Row8 (8,1) (8,2) (8,3) (8,6) (8,7)
Row9 (9,1) (9,2) (9,3) (9,6) (9,7)
-- etc. ---
How can I do this?
Ok ok… you caught me… I’m totally new to using Crystal Reports (what gave it away?). I have a feeling that this cannot be done with the way the data is currently staged, but I am totally open to staging the data in another fashion to make this work. Thanks in advance.
You cannot achieve this with cross-tabs. You can achieve this by staging the data differently (i.e. in the manner it needs to be displayed) and creating a normal report.
