[SOLVED] Excel/PDF Issue with spot markers

The solution for this was as follows.

HTML - The spot markers worked as expected.

PDF - I had to position the Subtotal/Grand Total fields with the "N" stylesheet syntax which represents a field number. This was needed as opposed to the "P" because in some instances columns are were not present.

EXCEL - The Subtotal/Grand Total fields were placed in the correct position by setting a variable for colspan equal to the desired position when all columns were present and decrementing colspan each time a field was deselected. Then printing the Subtot/Grandtot rows with that variable.

Thanks



Hello,

I have an issue with spotmarkers with a Excel/PDF report.

I have a report of which 3 version be selected to be viewed. HTML, Excel, PDF. In these reports columns can be deselected the report also has a subtotal line and a total line. The positioning of those two lines is to appear in the correct location when columns are deselected from the body of the report. Data Columns are selected/deselected from the launch page by setting a flag (checking a box). In my program I check the flag for a perticular column...if it deselected I assigne a spotmarker<+0> to that columns position so that when my subtot/granttot section is printed it appears in the correct position. This works great in HTML...however in excel/pdf the spotmarkers arfe not respected and the subtot/grandtot lones are left justified. If someone coule offer assistance I would greatly appreaciate it. In the case below non of the spotmarkers are interpreted and the lines show up in one cell...all left justified ie.

subtotal$12,00$13,000..................
total$17,321$15,00...........
