Repeat Crosstab column header after "n" number of rows

Is it possible to repeat crosstab header row after every "n" number of rows ? My crosstab is long enough for users to loose context of the columns they are refering to, as they scroll down. In some cases, I want to repeat the header after every 20 rows of detail , or in other cases i want to repeat the header with new group in the first column of the crosstab.

You could embed your crosstab into a table and depending on what option you're wanting the repeated header by, you could either use an interval group on the outer table or just group by the value you want to header to repeat by, in the crosstab. If you'd like an example, just let me know your BIRT version.

If you did a page break, you could repeat the header with the default functionality.

Hi mwilliams .. 
Do u have a working example ? For some reason I am not able to get header to show up with page breaks. 
Thanks

I've made a sample before. Finding it will be the tough part!

Let me take a look. If I can't find it, what is your BIRT version, so I can make a sample, in your version?
