Hi,

A blank is displaying between Header and Data fields in the Excel format.

In PDF by using Dropblinkline, the empty line issue is solved, but in excel its not working.

ON TABLE SET DROPBLNKLINE HEADING

Is there any approach/command to remove the blank line after header in the Excel(XLSX) format along with using border lines.

DROPBLNKLINE doesn't apply to Excel. Could you share an example of your code? I just tested the following and I don't see a blank line after the column titles. Do you have an ACROSS?

  
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
BY CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
BY CAR.COMP.CAR
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX
END

... And what release of '8' you're using.

Hi Babak/Doug

Blank line is appearing between Header and Column names. Need border for data fields and while removing the borders the blank line is removed ,but borders are also to be present without the blank line. Below is the example.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
CAR.COMP.CAR
CAR.CARREC.MODEL
CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE
CAR.BODY.SEATS
CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
CAR.BODY.SALES
HEADING
"Markets and Discounts"
ON TABLE SET PAGE OFF
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX
ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON
ON TABLE SET DROPBLNKLINE HEADING
ON TABLE SET EMPTYREPORT ON
ON TABLE SET SHOWBLANKS OFF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
$
TYPE=HEADING,HEADALIGN=BODY,FONT='CAMBRIA',SIZE=16,COLOR=RGB(31 73 125),STYLE=BOLD, JUSTIFY=CENTER,$
TYPE=TITLE,FONT='CALIBRI',SIZE=11,COLOR='WHITE',BACKCOLOR=RGB(83 141 213),STYLE=BOLD,JUSTIFY=CENTER,$
TYPE=DATA,BORDER-TOP=LIGHT,BORDER-BOTTOM=LIGHT,BORDER-LEFT=LIGHT,BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,$
END

Using Webfocus 8105 version.

Thanks,

Hi All, as per the information available over various earlier posts for similar issue and per the IBI documentation, the DROPBLNKLINE is not applicable to EXCEL format and there seems no straight forward way to achieve the same. As soon as we apply border to the DATA/REPORT, the blank line between HEADER and TITLE appears automatically. However, I have generated a workaround that meets the requirement. I have done the PoC on only three columns and anyone can extend the same as per the real time requirement.

Guys, again this is perhaps my first reply over the WebFOCUS community so I'd be more that glad to receive your positive up-votes and feedback.

 TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COMPUTE COUNTRY/A10 = 'COUNTRY';
COMPUTE CAR/A16		= 'CAR';
COMPUTE MODEL/A24	= 'MODEL';
BY HIGHEST 1 COUNTRY NOPRINT

END
-RUN

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY 	
CAR.COMP.CAR        
CAR.CARREC.MODEL

END
