    Hello
    Does anyone know if it is possible to display non numeric data/text only data correctly in the measure section of a Crosstab ?
    Thanks

    Hi Moises,

    You can drag a text element (non-numeric data) in your crosstab:
    You need to open the unlock page objects.
    Drag a report expression in your crosstab.
    Define the expression, for instance : 
    if [Query1].[Quantity] < 2000000 then 'Small' else if [Query1].[Quantity] is null then 'No Data' else 'Large'


    Hide the measure (click on the measure, Quantity in this case) by selecting Box Type = None

    Then your report will be

    Best regards,
