Hi,

I'm new to WebFocus, so please bare with me if I'm blabbering...
I'm trying to create a guided report with the following content:
  • A number of filters/column selectors (easy enough)
  • A pivot table depending on the chosen attributes/measures (no real challenge)
  • Some graphs on subsets of the pivot table data (this one's a pickle...)

The pivot table fex is created and the html-file works too, but the graphs are giving me a run for my money:
To avoid launching several queries, I'd like the graphs to use the data from the pivot table fex. (1 query --> 4 different presentations)
I'm guessing I need to use a hold-file and create a fex for each graph, but then how do I make sure the hold file is created once?
Also, is it necessary to create a separate fex for each graph?

Am I even making sense? (long day at the office Smiler )

when you say 'Pivot Table', do you actually mean Excel Pivot Table?

@Kerry: Sorry, I got sidetracked on other issues; I did indeed receive feedback from IB
@Susannah: No, I meant to say a table with 'across' fields; I'm still new to the IB vocabulary

To properly close this thread; I was advised to create a fex in 4 steps - see the abbreviated example below

-* Step1: Dump data in holdfile
TABLE FILE CAR
  SUM
    DEALER_COST
  BY CAR
  ON TABLE HOLD AS HLDDATA
END
-RUN
-* Step2: Run graph on holdfile + store as xchart holdfile
GRAPH FILE HLDDATA
  SUM
    DEALER_COST AS ''
  BY CAR
  ON TABLE HOLD AS XCHART FORMAT HTMTABLE 
END 
-RUN
-* Step3: Run table on holdfile + store as xdata holdfile
TABLE FILE HLDDATA
  SUM
    DEALER_COST
  BY CAR
  ON TABLE HOLD AS XDATA FORMAT HTMTABLE 
END
-RUN
-* Step4: include hold files in HTMLform
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>!IBI.FIL.XDATA;<BR/>!IBI.FIL.XCHART;</html>
-HTMLFORM END
