page break cross tab

birtprofi

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my horizontal page break on my report. I would like to make a pagebreak after every 10 rows. (field MA_NAME)

If I work with only one group, I could do this very perfect in Property Editor - Column area, with page break on interval 10

But you can see, I need 2 groups. So how could I do this, that the page break is also on MA_NAME after every intervall on 10.

So what I need: After ervey 10 x MA_NAME should be a page break

best regards

Hi guys,

I solved my problem with a trick. Instead of 2 groups I made 1 group. For this I inserted a computed column in my dataset ((row["kst_name"]) + (row["MA_NAME"]))

So with this I have the right sorting and I could make a page break with the property editor - Column Area on Interval "10"

This is not realy clean, but it works.

Idea: What do you think about the idea, to make a option page break (cross tab) depends on the size of the master page. If a A4 page is fully filled with data, then make a pagebreak. I think this must not to difficult to program.

Rafael,

There's also an expression builder for groups, so you possibly could have built the "group expression" there instead of creating a computed column.

Hi Michael,

how could I made this? First I go tho Data Cube, then Groups (Dimensions). Then I only could drag n drop fields from my dataset.

Please give me a short explanation. Thanks

best regards

I'm sorry, I was thinking of a regular table group. With a crosstab, doing the group the way you did will work fine. Though, if you have a second "row dimension" group, I would think you could set you page break interval on the second group and not need to join your groups into one.

Hi Michael,

thats right. I could also set a page break interval on the second row dimension group. But this dont work for my demand.

for example:

I have place for 10 column rows in vertical positions. after every 10 rows I need a page break.
(first group with 'A' and 'B'):

A,A,A,B,B,B,B,B,B,B,
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 page break /

But If I have two groups, and I set the page break on the second group, then BIRT start to count the rows after ervery new group relating on the first group:

for example:

first group (with 'A' and 'B'):

A, A, A, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B,
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ,10 page break
(so in this matter, the page break will be after the 13 row)

Ah. That seems like it would be a bug. Please log a bug for this at http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/resources/bug-reporting/. What is your BIRT version? I'll take a look at this in the newest version before you log a bug if you're not already using it. Let me know.

For now, you'll probably just have to stick with the workaround way you did it.

I have tried it with version 2.5.2 and the latest version of 2.6.

Ok, when you log the bug, please post the bug info in here for future reference.
