Hi,

I need to create a report where the records display vertically instead of the traditional horizontal. The query the report needs to be based off of is something like this.

Date Sales Orders Calls Rec Calls Abd
4/1 $12 2 13 3
4/2 $84 4 25 1
4/3 $99 5 10 2

I need the data to be displayed like

4/1 4/2 4/3
Sales $12 $84 $99
Orders 2 4 5
Calls Rec 13 25 3
Calls Abd 3 1 2

(Sorry, the example is bunching up when I post this.) I have tried a couple different ways with no luck. The report will be run weekly and display seven days across the page.

Any ideas?

Thank you so much

Thanks,

Amy
 
Is that what you wanted to show?

4/2 $84 4 25 1
4/3 $99 5 10 2

If so, use Pre TGML tag (use Preview to check before you post)

Have fun.

I would use a main report based on every unique Sunday (or Monday or whatever). Add a text box txtDay0 in the detail section with a control source of the date field. Then add 6 more text boxes across the detail section with control sources of
Name= txtDay1
Control Source =txtDay0+1

Name= txtDay2
Control Source =txtDay0+2

--- etc ---
Name= txtDay6
Control Source =txtDay0+6

Create a small subreport that has the daily format the way that you want. Add 7 copies of the same subreport, one under each of the date text boxes. Set the link master to the appropriate txtDay[N] and [Date Field] (it's not really named Date is it?).

You can add a single copy of the labels on the far left of the main report detail section.
