Fields from report in crosstab

2005-11-09 01:22

i have a cross tab where the column is based on the code of item. I want to put then name of the item on column header.

 

Both code and name of item are fields in the report. My crosstab has no separate dataset.

If you want to use a value from the report in a crosstab header or cell, you'll have to pass it as a crosstab parameter.

 

Check the ShipmentsReport sample, the crosstab has a parameter.

Sorry, I didn't understand your scenario first time.

 

In your case you can do one of the following:

 

- create a data class that has code and name members and use new Item($V{itemCode}, $V{itemName}) as the bucket expression and the do $V{colGroup}.getName() in the crosstab header. The data class will have to implement java.lang.Comparable (you'll probably want to compare the codes).

 

- put the code and name in a list of length 2 and use the list as bucket expression. You can get then the code and name from the list.

 

- create another column group (sub group of the one grouping by code) having the item name as bucket expression and use this group's header. This might be slower than the previous solutions.

 

- collect a code to name mapping and pass it as parameter to the crosstab.
