Creating a Cross-Tab report

This section provides you with the steps to create a Cross-Tab object in a
new report and how to add a Cross-Tab object to an existing report.

Things to keep in mind when using Cross-Tab objects:

You can drag report fields into or out of Cross-Tab objects.

You can have multiple rows, columns, and summarized fields.

You can use print-time formulas as your rows or columns.

You can use Running Total fields as your summarized field.

You can include a group sort (top or bottom N) on the rows in your
Cross-Tab.

Note:

Group sorting cannot be applied to columns.

You can insert as many Cross-Tab objects in a report as you need.

You can insert the Cross-Tab into either the Report Header or Footer, or
the Group Header or Footer.

You can place Cross-Tab objects in subreports. This is useful when you
want to refer to the results from another report.
