Pivot table in Report

[marco_puccetti]

Hello, i need to insert in a report a pivot table, but i have noticed that is not possible to set the height and the column to be displayed.

If i insert the table, it is not showed properly and the field are too small.

How can i solve this, in order to show a table in an optimal format to print without modifying the table outside the report?

Thanks

In the report-editor you could try to change the object-properties (original, maximize ..) and use the tab position for sizing and position (drag'n drop is awful). But often you could only achieve a passable report if you used special report-objects (in a hidden sheet) which looks awful within the sheet but work in the report.

Another question, to add a generic table to a report is only necessary to drag and drop it in the report, but when i do this, something wrong appens:

The table remains in the black rectangle of the white space.

What can i do?

Thanks

This meant that the table-content with the place-holder from report didn't fit well. I think you will need to select your data so that they fit to the space from place-holder.

If you want to show more data you have to increase this place-holder and/or you used a report with multi-page data-sheets and/or you used a selection-loop through certain fields (option in report-properties).

I have used the same drag and drop method for an other table with more data, but the table has been inserted with a subset of data instead.

What do you intend for selection loop?

You could loop through a field like area or categorie and for each possible field-value will be created an own report. This meant you will be able to use a report-structure with one or two reports with high consolidated data and then many reports on a more detailed level.

But if you have to create many reports you should have a look on tools like NPrinting which provide more quality and are easier to use but it won't be for free.

Ok just solved, the black part is the active table so if i enlarge that part it will show the table.

So an other question, if is there a table that has more rows and i need to paginate it, how can i do?

Thanks

Within the report-properties there is a tab header/footer with a lot of options.
