The above code returns the same colomn name (CAR,SALES) in eac tab of the excel report.

If i wantted to change the column header name like UK tab (UK CAR,UK Sales) US tab (US CAR,US Sales).

Is it possible...? If Yes please let me know the solution.

Thanks

Yes WebFOCUS can do that...

Read up on the DEFINE FILE for starters to redefine the country as desired, not that I see any cars in there from the US.

This forum is really to help others... Not to provide solutions, right?

The BYTOC functionality creates the exact same report (layout) for each section/tab of the report. Meaning that you get the same column titles for every section of report. Even re-defining a column will not help you there.

About your only hope would be to create a compound excel document an re-run the report for each country, using an &variable in the AS 'columntitle' phrase.

You're right Darin, The DEFINE would only be the first step with regards to a DEFINE of the field containing the UK and US values after which the &variables would come in.

As an alternative use a template/macro to reformat

Dinesh,
You can also discard TITLEs and use HEADING instead, with a DEFINE:

-* File Dinesh1.fex
DEFINE FILE CAR
CARHEAD/A20 =COUNTRY || ' CAR';
SALESHEAD/A20=COUNTRY || ' SALES';
END
SET COMPOUND=BYTOC
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SALES AS '' 
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT 
BY CAR AS ''
HEADING
"<CARHEAD<SALESHEAD"

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
type=report, style=bold, color=yellow, backcolor=black, $
type=data, backcolor=red, $
type=data, column=car, color=blue, backcolor=yellow, $
TYPE=HEADING, HEADALIGN=BODY, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Have not tested this, but one thing you may want to try is inserting your column headings into a subhead (where you can embed field values) and then adding AS '' to each displayed field. Also some variation of conditional subheadings may work.

Excellent solution Dinesh / Darin... I've used that technique and it works quite nicely...
