  • 1.  Capturing Crosstab Column and Row names

    Posted Fri October 14, 2022 02:27 PM
    Hello Team, 

    There are report functions to capture column number and row numbers. I have a requirement to capture column name and row names. Is that possible? 

    Thank you,
    Udaya.

    You might want to use Data item label.

    Product Line is a singleton based on the previous query (crosstab) with the following definition:

    Hello Patrik, 

    Thank you for your reply but that is a known strategy. 

    One thing I did not mention in my question is that my crosstab is an ensemble of 50 different data items, so not all values can be captured in one data item. As an alternative I am looking for a way to capture the row-coordinates that might resolve my issue. 

    Thank you,
    Udaya.
