Hi all,

I tried to have dash in tab names of an Excel report. However, Some of the tab names are missing dash "-" as in the example below. Does anyone know how to do it?

Solution: replaced dash with forward slash. 
-SET &I=1;
-REPEAT :LOOP 6 TIMES

-SET &SUM_RPT = IF &I EQ 1 THEN 'TEST 01–02'
-          ELSE IF &I EQ 2 THEN '8–39 TEST'
-          ELSE IF &I EQ 3 THEN 'Summary 8–39'
-          ELSE IF &I EQ 4 THEN '8–39 - Cases – B-B'
-          ELSE IF &I EQ 5 THEN 'Type 01 – 02'
-          ELSE IF &I EQ 6 THEN '01-02 Cases'
-          ELSE 'ERROR';

-SET &OPEN_CLOSE_RPT = IF &I EQ 6 THEN 'CLOSE' ELSE 'OPEN';

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CAR BODYTYPE
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K &OPEN_CLOSE_RPT
ON TABLE SET STYLE * 
TYPE=REPORT,font='Arial', size=10,ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,TITLETEXT='&SUM_RPT.EVAL' ,$
ENDSTYLE
END

-SET &I=&I+1;
-:LOOP
-EXIT


Thanks,

This seems to work in WF 8.0.08:



I do notice some of the dashes are of a different width - n dash or m dash perhaps...

Hey Pku/Francis Mariani,

How did you make this work when you referenced two different reports, example tab A is a report for country and tab B is a report for model? When i run i get the following tabs listed:

COUNTRY (shows the country report), RECOVERED_SHEET1 (shows the model report), MODEL (shows the country report)

-SET &I=1;
-REPEAT :LOOP 2 TIMES

-SET &SUM_RPT = IF &I EQ 1 THEN 'COUNTRY'
- ELSE IF &I EQ 2 THEN 'MODEL'
- ELSE 'ERROR';

-SET &OPEN_CLOSE_RPT = IF &I EQ 2 THEN 'CLOSE' ELSE 'OPEN';

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CAR BODYTYPE
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K &OPEN_CLOSE_RPT
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT,font='Arial', size=10,ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,TITLETEXT='&SUM_RPT.EVAL' ,$
ENDSTYLE
END


TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CAR BODYTYPE
BY MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K &OPEN_CLOSE_RPT
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT,font='Arial', size=10,ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,TITLETEXT='&SUM_RPT.EVAL' ,$
ENDSTYLE
END

-SET &I=&I+1;
-:LOOP
-EXIT

I've noticed if the two tabs have the same name, the second gets overridden with "RECOVERED_SHEET1". Try providing a different name for each tab.

hi Francis,

Thank you that did help when I made the change in names I get repetitive tab names:

-SET &I=1;
-REPEAT :LOOP 2 TIMES

-SET &SUM_RPT = IF &I EQ 1 THEN 'DQ1'
- ELSE IF &I EQ 2 THEN 'DQ2'
- ELSE 'ERROR';

-SET &OPEN_CLOSE_RPT = IF &I EQ 2 THEN 'CLOSE' ELSE 'OPEN';

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CAR BODYTYPE
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K &OPEN_CLOSE_RPT
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT,font='Arial', size=10,ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,TITLETEXT='&SUM_RPT.1' ,$
ENDSTYLE
END

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CAR BODYTYPE
BY MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K &OPEN_CLOSE_RPT
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT,font='Arial', size=10,ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,TITLETEXT='&SUM_RPT.2' ,$
ENDSTYLE
END

-SET &I=&I+1;
-:LOOP
-EXIT

Output is: DQ1 -(country report), DQ21 -(bodytype report), DQ12 -(country report again...), it seems that's its looping 3 times, even with the different tab names.
