With List & Label v25 software I have to generate a compare layout with a table where the datarows are in 4 columb side-by-side and the headers into the 1st row. If we had more than 4 datarow, it comes to a new site...
Any idea how to transponate the table?

I've just started Using FileMaker Pro, I had been using Excel before and wrote it all in VBA, but I'm trying to achieve the same thing now in FileMaker.
So I have 2 layouts.
Layout 1 has a table that gets it data imported from a CSV file
Layout 2 has a table where the user can input data from FileMaker by clicking New Record
Layout 2 has 3 fields, 2 of them are dropdowns and the dropdown options are pulled from the first 2 columns of the table in Layout 1. The third filed is a container where the user can insert an image.
So I'm trying to make it so when the user selects a row in Layout 1, it will display a picture that matches the value in Layout 2.
If that doesn't make sense, let me try explaining with examples:
Layout 1 has a bunch of rows of data:
Car Make / Colour / Year / Country
Fiat / Red / 2018 / France
Ford / Blue / 2010 / Germany
BMW / Green / 2017 / UK
Layout 2 allows the user to input
Car Make / Colour / Picture
Drop down from 'Car Make' / Drop down from 'Colour' / Container to insert picture
Then when the user is on Layout 1 and clicks on a row that contains Fiat in the Car Make column, and Red in the Colour column, it will look at the corresponding picture from Layout 2.
So far I have made the 2 layouts, but I'm struggling to work out how to have them talk to each other. Is there a way to do it through FileMaker's UI or does it need to be scripted with an if statement somehow?
Would appreciate some advice and pointing in the right direction!
Thanks
You have to create a relationship between the two tables. It's in the manage database/relationship panel.
Match by the criteria you choose and then you can display data from the related table in your layout.
** I'm using SSRS2008 R2
I have a report that the users would like to see in a printable pdf.
Problem is there are several columns, potentially too many to fit on a printed 8.5x11 paper.
One of the concepts they suggested was a stacked header/data display, like breaking the columns into 2 rows, so 2 rows of data (for John and Bill) would look like this:
NAME START_DATE STATE COMPANY
ACCOUNT BALANCE END_DATE
-------------------------------------------------------
John 1/20/2016 NY GE
10076 $100.00 2/20/2016
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill 5/13/2016 MA Netflix
00013 $150.00 12/31/2016
-------------------------------------------------------
This leads me to 2 questions:
Is there a way to do this with a tablix?
AND/OR in addition, is there a way to set a default property on the report so when the report is exported to pdf and to print, that it defaults to fit all columns on one page (therefor shrinking the font size to fit on page?)
For anyone that cares - Apparently this can easily be achieved by dragging a Tablix onto the work area, right clicking the header row, adding a new row underneath (basically becomes header row 2), then do the same thing to the details row - however make sure to insert row - Inside group. That allows you to have stacked header and data rows and you can copy / paste headers and row values in whichever row you'd prefer.
it will work if you make all the columns on the same height not unequal. If all the columns has same height, then while exporting to pdf/excel and print it will come in the same page.
I'm working on a table in iReport designer where I pull in info from a database. As of right now, I have it so that one row of the table corresponds to one row in the database.
How can I make it so that one entry in the database can take up two rows. The first row would have 4 columns corresponding to a field in the database. The second row would have 1 column the same length as the 4 above columns combined and also correspond to one field. When editing an iReport designer table, there doesn't seem to be an option to add more rows, only columns.
I found a much easier workaround. I created a one column table, then dragged and dropped static text and fields in certain spots to make the report look like it had multiple columns.
I'm trying to display rows of data in a as columns in a Crystal report....so that I get data from row one in column 1, data from row 2 in Column 2, etc....?
so to display vertically in one column. So as you look across columns you could see how things changed over time.
New to crystal need to know if this is possible.
Thanks
Try this
Right Click on a Section then go to Section expert and then check Format with Multiple columns
and then set your printing directions
Is it possible to have add a row to an SSRS 2008 Matrix that spans all of the matrix's columns?
This crude diagram shows roughly what I'm looking for:
The basic idea is that each line item is a person, and each column is a field in a form for that person. The fields themselves are dynamic (and implemented as column groups on the matrix). Additional column groups are included to append non-dynamic form fields, like the time the record was entered and who entered it. Under each person's record is a comments field, which should span all of the form fields above it.
At the moment I have the matrix embedded in another tablix, with the name and fields in the matrix and the comments in the parent tablix. This works for the data (each instance of the matrix ends up being one row), but the header repeats too often (once per person) because it's attached to the matrix. The only thought I have as to how to fix this is to create another matrix in the parent tablix with the same grouping and use it to display the headers... But this will require quite a lot of manual synchronization to keep the two matrices the same.
Edit: The key problem here is making the second row span multiple column groups.
Here's what you can do:
Select the column grouping you want to add above and right click and select
Add Group... Parent Group...
Group the column by something that will not aggregate the data. You'll have to select a field from your dataset to group by so that it creates an overlapping column grouping.
Check the Add group header box
You should now see something similar to this:
Now you just need to move the Value1 field and it's header over under the new column to the right beyond the matrix dividers. Once that's done, simply delete the ungrouped column where you just copied Value1 from and be sure to select Delete columns only checkbox.
Your finished product should look like this:
It is possible - And the above answers are partial answers leaving out one key step: Merging the cells of the child row.
First, right click on your grouped row, then select Insert Row -> Inside Group - Below and you will get two rows with the cells aligning on the columns
Second, ctrl click all the cells in your new row (ie row without the data) then right click on one of the highlighted cells, and then select Merge Cells.
Now you have the table you like. To add a value to the new row: first right click your new (multi column) cell,select Create Placeholder, and then add the dataset item you desire to the placeholder.
[Edit]
After several attempts, I'm going to say this isn't possible in SSRS. The best I could come up with is a group footer that spans columns 1,2, and 3, but not the User column.

I recently did something similar to this.
First, what tool are you using to create SSRS reports? (I used SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio)
You'll want to create a row group (grouped on Person)
Append a row to your table in "Design" view (Right click, "Insert Row --> Inside Group - Below").
Add an expression to the row that pulls the value for your "Comment" column (=Fields!Comment.Value).
Let me know if that helps...
Try adding in you column group "header" with a grouping expression of (1=1). Then a detail field will need to be defined. If you define the other group with correct data then the "header" will stretch across all details columns. You may need to merger depending on other options.
The easiest way to do this is to create a Tablix with only one column, and your row grouping.
Then, you create two rows inside this group.
In the first row inside the group, you insert a Matrix, wich you can then subgroup as you prefer.
I just had a similar problem, and this was my solution.
I banged my head against the wall for a lot of time, until i realized the solution to my problem wasn't "making a cell span multiple column groups", but "making a cell split into multiple column groups".
You can accomplish the goal by using a subreport for each person. The subreport will receive the employee id and create the hierarchy for you. Make sure your subreport column widths match the widths of the parent report.
