Hi can I take a table and turn it into a list??

Basically transform your data set using CROSSTABLE LOAD:
CROSSTABLE (Field, Value)
LOAD
recno() as ID,
* ,
' ' as ' '
INLINE [
RecordNo, Name, Adress
1, Brian, Brighton
2, Simon, Birmingham
3, Kent, London
4, Bob, Swindon
];
Key to success is that you create a new ID (using recno() in this sample). I also added an empty field to separate grouped records in the frontend.
Then create a straight table, use ID, Field, Value as dimensions and
=1
as expression.
Sort ID asc, Field by Load order asc.
On presentation tab, hide columns for ID and expression.
You can also change labels, dimension attributes for some further visual enhancement.
You are talking about showing the data in a list in the frontend, right?
For a fixed number of records, you can use conditionally shown text objects, I've done something similar a while ago.
This will be not dynamic.
Maybe there is an extension available, though.
Hi Tinkerz1
Can you attach the xls file?
Something like this!!
Had same idea as Pradip, added some formatting.
Sorry I am on the free download version, can you post a screen shot?
Many Thanks,
Neil.
