CrossTab question

Hi

I'm new in using BIRT. I need this to design a new report for our Requirements and Test Tool Contour (jamacontour).

What I want to see in the report is a table which show the relationship between Features (x-axis) and Tests (y-axis) if there is a relationship then there should be a "x" in the field.

I think CrossTab is that what I need but I have no idea how to use it correct. Are there any examples showing how to use this Feature?

Hi Throndorin, 
 
Here is an example from the devShare of a static crosstab. It will show you one in use in a report design.

I believe this tutorial for BIRT shows how to actually make a crosstab and other features of BIRT as well.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Michael,

I have had a look at the example and it shows what I want to know.
And a single check on my cross tab with my query has success. in first step.
The summary does not work as I expect in the moment because the summary should show if there is a relationship between one element of the x-axis with one of the y-axis. Problem is the relationship is a string type.

see example1.jpg for details

Is a Cross Tab the correct design element to show these informations?

Throndorin,

So, you figured out how to get the "X"s in the crosstab?

Throndorin

No,

but I have figured out, how to change the type in the measurement field to string. That means in the moment the value of RELATYIONCHIPTYPE is written in the field.

I'm not sure where I had to evaluate that the RELATIONCHIPTYPE is empty or a valid string.

If this is possible nice, but in many cases the string is empty so I can differ between if there is a relation or not.
