CrossTab with titles

SheepK

Hi all, 
 
I have a cross tab on my report, with a pagebreak after all different values of the dimension called "dim 1". 
 
What I woul like to do is to hide the left colum (in which you can see "dim 1") and put a dynamic text in the top left cell, with a text based on this "dim 1" value (see "Repeat the dim 1 value" on the image below). 
 
<img src='http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/9918/crosstabwtitle.png' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /> 
 
 
What I managed to do : 
- hide the left colum 
- put a dynamic text in the top left corner. 
 
But my problem is : I can't manger to put the dynamic value linked to "dim 1" : 
 
I tried to set in the editor : "Available Column Bindings" -> "My cross tab name" -> double clic on "dim 1". But it doesn't write anything when generating the report, or "null"... 
 
Could you please help me? 
 
Thank you in advance, 
 
Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas,

Do you just use the group page break feature of the crosstab? Or do you have a crosstab embedded into a table with the data limited to the specific group of the table? An example report with your setup that uses the sample database could be helpful here.

Hi Michael,

I'm using the pagebreak of the my crosstab. I will try to make an example.

Would you have a simple example of crosstab inside of a "normal" tab (embedded)?

Thanks.

Nicolas,

What is your BIRT version? I'll try to make a simple embedded example.

My version is 2.5.2

SheepK,

Here is a sample report that shows how to do what I was talking about. It's not working perfectly in this report, but I'm thinking it might be something with the sample database..not sure. Try it out with your data and let me know.

I use a grouped outer table and then add an attribute to a dimension of the crosstab for the customer, then I filter the crosstab by comparing the attribute and the outer table value.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Michael,
