Hey everyone,
as I am pretty new to this stuff, please excuse, if this topic has been covered in any other post.
I am designing a report right now, which work quiet well. Yet I am having the problem, that I have so many columns, that the reports exceeds the page size in landscape mode. Now that the number of my rows is limited to 12 (yes - months) I am asking myself, if it is possible to transpose the table I am using to build the report.
Is there any easy way to transpose tables, used in reports?
Thanks in advance!
Hello Timmy,
Thank you for your post!
I have been looking into it. What I can suggest is to create one table and delete the columns that are not visible. Then create the same table again, place it under the first table and delete the columns that are already present in the first table. Between the two tables you can place a page break(you can find it in the toolbox). Setting a page break between the pages would print then in separate pages when the report is printed.
I have created a small sample application for you to show you the above mentioned approach.
Please find the attached sample application and feel free to let me know if you have any further questions on this matter.
I am just checking if you have any further questions on this matter. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you do.
Hey,
I had no time to check yet, sorry. But I will take a look this evening.
Many thanks!
Regards,
Timmy
Thank you for the feedback. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions on this matter.
Thanks for asking. As far as I could check, your example, "just" breaks the table onto the next page. that doesn't really solve the Problem. But maybe I can convince the Client, that that is the best way.
Still transposition would be my favourite solution.
Thank you for the feedback.
I have been looking into your post. Currently this is the best approach for separating a table, that has many columns.
If you like you can create a new product idea for transposition of the tables. You can suggest new Product Ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at http://ideas.infragistics.com.
Steps to create your idea:
1. Log into the Infragistics Product Ideas site at http://ideas.infragistics.com (creating a new login if needed).
2. Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)
3. Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible.
• Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!
• [CASE: “Reference case [case number], FORUMS: “Include a link to this thread”] in your idea so product management will be able to look back at this case.
The benefits of submitting the product idea yourself include:
- Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.
- Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.
Additional benefits of the Product Idea system include:
- Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you. You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.
- Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.
- You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.
The product ideas site allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
Thank you for contacting Infragistics.
I am just checking your progress on this issue. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions on this matter.
thanks for asking. I do have to admit, that I went as you said, and broke up the table and seperated it. It actually made some sense in this case, but still a way of transposing the table, maybe with vertical page-breaks would be useful I guess. If I have time, I will submit this as a wishful Feature for next version.
Thank you for the feedback. I am glad I was able to help.
