Accessing Fields in a Cross Tab

Hi all,
Is it possible to access fields in a crosstab after it's been generated?
I've posted this question in the DataAccess forum as well because I wasn't sure which one to post to, sorry.
Thanks in advance
 
Can you be a little more specific as to what you need to access the fields for.
 
Hi, I can try.
Basically, I have a crosstab that looks like this

2003 2004
jan feb march... total jan feb... total
4 5 6 16 4 5 7

What I would like to do is get the values from those two total fields and create an average based on a number / the sum of the totals. I would like to display that below the cross tab like this.
200 / (16 + 9) = 8

Does that make more sense? All I really want to know is can I get at those total fields to work with them after the crosstab is built?

Obviously the numbers are not real but that's the gist of what I am trying to get at.
Thank you
 
As far as i'm aware you can't actually do anything with the values in the cross-tab other than highlight, change colour/font etc.. by using the currentfieldvalue. I think if you need to do something like that then you may have to create manual running totals to achieve the desired results.
 
Where does the 200 come from? There might be a way of doing this if you provide a little more information.
