[SOLVED] Creating a report that will burst a BY field to different tabs

Hello,

Is there way that we can create a spreadsheet that will burst a BY field to different tabs in the worksheet? I see in Report Caster, I checked that Burst checkbox, but it created multiple spreadsheets of my BY field.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Winnie

BYTOC creates separate tabs in the same worksheet.

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES AS ''
ACROSS BODYTYPE AS ''
BY COUNTRY PAGE-BREAK NOPRINT
BY SEATS

HEADING
"<COUNTRY"

ON TABLE PCHOLD AS REP001 FORMAT EXL2K BYTOC
END

Hi again,

I had the report for each by field to show on different tabs when I run it in WF, but when I set it up in Report Caster and ran it, there's only 1 worksheet with all the data in there. I was looking at the the schedule in Report Caster, but I don't see anything there to change the report to show by field on separate tabs.

Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately, what works in WebFOCUS Reporting Server doesn't necessarily work in WebFOCUS ReportCaster. It's very annoying.

I am a bit surprised that it doesn't work, but then I shouldn't be.

I would try a RC schedule with the simple example I provided. If that works, there could be something else causing the problem.

Also, you don't mention the version of WF (please put it in your profile), if it's an older version, that could be the issue as well.

Hi Francis,

Thanks for the response. I actually did try to schedule a Report Caster job for the example you gave me, but it also gave me the same result where all COUNTRIES show in the same worksheet...

The WF version I'm using is 7.6.8.

Thanks!

Hi Francis,

I found a solution to my problem with Report Caster. Instead of the commented code below, I added COMPOUND statement before the BYTOC. It works!

-*ON TABLE PCHOLD AS UNKNOWNTEMPSFORREGION FORMAT EXL2K BYTOC
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET COMPOUND BYTOC
