Hi All,

I'm new to Development not to the WebFOCUS. Hope, you all help me to get rid from this.

How do i display ACROSS column name(CAR) exactly above BY column name(COUNTRY) in EXCEL Report?

CAR ALFA ROMEO AUDI BMW DATSUN JAGUAR JENSEN MASERATI PEUGEOT TOYOTA TRIUMPH
COUNTRY
ENGLAND 18,621 14,940 4,292
FRANCE 4,631
ITALY 16,235 25,000
JAPAN 2,626 2,886
W GERMANY 5,063 49,500

This is my first query gonna post in FOCAL point. I'd really like to appreciate this forum, which helps much in WF report development.

Thanks,
Rifaz

Rifaz,

Try this:

SET ACROSSTITLE = SIDE
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
     SALES
BY  LOWEST COUNTRY
ACROSS CAR
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
 include=endeflt, $
type=report, border=light, $
TYPE=DATA,
     ACROSSCOLUMN=N8,
     BORDER-TOP=LIGHT,
     BORDER-BOTTOM=LIGHT,
     BORDER-LEFT=LIGHT,
     BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,
$
TYPE=ACROSSVALUE,
     ACROSS=1,
     BORDER-TOP=LIGHT,
     BORDER-BOTTOM=LIGHT,
     BORDER-LEFT=LIGHT,
     BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

quote:

SET ACROSSTITLE = SIDE

Awesome command.

But I think it came in in 7.7

7704 ACROSSTITLE = option ..... control location of ACROSS field titles in PDF, EXL2K, EXL07, and HTML output
7701 option: ABOVE [default] titles are displayed above the values
7701 option: SIDE titles are displayed to the left of the values
From the WebFocus Keysheet - see Aviter.com

First available in 7.7.01. Excel and HTML output added in 7.7.04

Thanks much Daniel and John!!!. But, still we're in 7611, is there any possible workaround for this? Titles can be a STATIC.

An option is to convert the across field to columns.

One way to the use the across and HOLD the output. Then it get a bit tricky, as the number of fields becomes dymanic.

Have a look at what happens when you hold a TABLE request with an ACROSS.

Rifaz,

A 7.6 approach:

  
TABLE FILE CAR
BY CAR
ON TABLE SET HOLDLIST PRINTONLY
ON TABLE HOLD AS CC
END
-RUN
-SET &CARS=&LINES;
DEFINE FILE CAR
-REPEAT #CARSALES FOR &I FROM 1 TO &CARS;
-READFILE CC
-SET &CAR.&I='&CAR.EVAL';
SALES&I=IF CAR EQ '&CAR.&I' THEN SALES ELSE 0;
-#CARSALES
END
-CLOSE CC
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
-SET &HEAD='CAR';
-REPEAT #SALES FOR &I FROM 1 TO &CARS;
    SALES&I AS ''
-SET &HEAD=&HEAD | '<+0>' | &CAR.&I.EVAL;
-#SALES
BY  COUNTRY AS 'COUNTRY'
HEADING
"&HEAD"
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
 include=endeflt, $
type=report, border=light, $
TYPE=HEADING, HEADALIGN=BODY,$
TYPE=DATA,
     ACROSSCOLUMN=N8,
     BORDER-TOP=LIGHT,
     BORDER-BOTTOM=LIGHT,
     BORDER-LEFT=LIGHT,
     BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,
$
TYPE=ACROSSVALUE,
     ACROSS=1,
     BORDER-TOP=LIGHT,
     BORDER-BOTTOM=LIGHT,
     BORDER-LEFT=LIGHT,
     BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Thanks Danny,

I will try reproduce in my house using the real datas and let you know.

Danny, I'm still wondering, how did he do that? You rocked really!!!

Hoping, i'm going to attain developing the report as desired.

Good news is that,soon, we're going to migrate to 80x. from 7.6.11 . So, i use John & Waz suggestion at ease to create report.
