Hi, Linda.

Welcome to the BIRT community. For starter, you can go to http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/tutorial/ for some basic guide. Starts with the tutorials then the examples.

Hope it helps.

Linda,

Are they really grouping header columns you want to show?

Isn't it the suppress duplicates option that you are looking for? You'll find it in the properties view when you select a table column.

Hope this helps

Hi ashsiang,
I?m through this tutorials but I didnt find what I need.

Hi Hans,
tanks for answering.
I dont think its the supress duplication funtion.
I?m looking for the possibility of having headers in the first column of the report, and the details going on in the rows.

Example:

header column detail column
quarter [quarter]
price [price]
cost [cost]
cash flow [cash flow]

Is this possible?

thx a lot
Linda

Hi Linda,

I see what you mean now.

I think with these instructions you can achieve what you want:

1. Drag a table element from the palette to your report and enter this data:
Number of columns: 2
Number of details: 4
datset: your dataset
2. Drag the fields from you dataset into the right column of the table
3. Add labels in the left column of the table

Hope this helps

Regards
Hans

Hi can you share with us your table structure? Are you having those measures as individual columns? If the measures are column then you can use crosstab and add in the 4 measures then change the measures from horizontal to vertical.

Thanks a lot for your help!
Best way I found to solve this is indeed to work with the cross table.
