Hello,
 
I#m a newbie to CR and I got a question about the layout of crosstabs.
 
My crosstab looks like this
 
                                 Column
Row 1                        info 1
                                  Info 2
       Row 2                 info 1
                                  Info 2
 
In Row 1 only info 2 should be visible and in Row 2 only info 1. This is basically not a problem, I just supress the fileds. But then I get a layout like this:
 
                                   Column
Row 1                         
                                   info 2
           Row 2              info 1
 
What I would like to have looks like this
 
                                  Column
Row 1                        info 2
            Row 2            info 1
 
Is there any possibillty not only to supress the information in the report, but also to supress the empty row I get wenn supressing the information? Confused
 
Thanks

Use a formula to check for the current row and only return the proper info 1 or 2 value. Then have the cross-tab summarize on this formula rather than the actual fields.

Ok, assume you create a formula called 'NewInfo"
If {table.Row}=1 Then
    2
else
    1;

Then use the NewInfo function in your cross-tab summary field.
