Change width of a cross-tab / use of cross bands

Post by Roelof »

I have a cross-tab that doesn’t look exactly the way I want.

It spreads over 2 pages while it would easily fit on one. With position/ Min Size and Max Size I can change the column width but this creates a space between the columns and doesn’t make the cross-tab any smaller. Is there a way to do this?

I tried to use the cross-bands as well but wasn’t able to create a report with them, couldn’t find an explanation on the site or in the manual either.

How does this work? and when should I use cross bands instead of a cross-tab?

Best regards,

Roelof

Hello Roelof,

1. Try to change font size;
2. Try to change page orientation.

I tried to use the cross-bands as well but wasn’t able to create a report with them, couldn’t find an explanation on the site or in the manual either.

CrossBands is used for creation simple matrix report. It can't group your data.

Thank you.

Jan,

thanks for your suggestions.

I created a custom page with a width of 50, exported the report to excel and made it fit on one page in excel. But I’m not completely happy with this solution, users can’t print the report themselves. ( or have to do the excel export as well).

If it is possible to change the width property of the cells there should be a way to change their position as well. Now I just create empty space between the cells.

It strange behavior of MinSize and MaxSize properties. Can you send sample report to support@stimulsoft.com for examination.

Thank you.
