[CLOSED] Extra ACROSS Column When ACROSS Value Does Not Exist

I am using an ACROSS in a report that has a few other fields/columns before it. There are some circumstances in which one or more rows may not have a value in any of the ACROSS columns but that row still needs to be in there. When this happens an extra ACROSS column is created with a 0 column title and no data.

Is there a way to get rid of that extra ACROSS column?

Thank you!
Colleen

Colleen,
Can you post an example, preferable with one of the distributed WF files (e.g. CAR, GGSALES et. al.)?

I ran across this just a few days ago. There is a SET option for that: SET HIDENULLACRS = ON

Thanks! I had never heard of HIDENULLACRS before. It seems that should be the perfect fix but I am still getting those empty across columns even when using it. Do you know if there is another set that needs to go along with it? I couldn't find anything in the documentation. Here is the code I am using.


-SET HIDENULLACRS = ON;

TABLE FILE GIFTS
SUM PLEDGE_PAYMENTS
OUTRIGHT_GIFTS
BY NAME
BY PLEDGE_AMOUNT
ACROSS YEAR
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END
-RUN

Remove the - and ; around the SET. It's a FOCUS statement, not a Dialog Manager statement:
SET HIDENULLACRS = ON

TABLE FILE GIFTS
SUM PLEDGE_PAYMENTS
OUTRIGHT_GIFTS
BY NAME
BY PLEDGE_AMOUNT
ACROSS YEAR
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END
-RUN
