Symptom
Need to show the main group as sub group and sub group as a main group depending on the parameter selected.
Reproducing the Issue
1.Create a report with a parameter.
2.When we select "DEPT" need to show the data in crosstab in which we has inserted a group on DEPT field as a main group and CLIENT as sub group.
3.But when we select the parameter as SUMMARY then need to show the data for each client. Since same client exist for two different departments the same client data is broken into two and showing in different pages.
4.Need to show the client data together and also based on client type field need to insert summary.
Resolution
2) Created a new formula like
Whilereadingrecords;
If {?Parameter}=”DEPT” then “” else {client type field}
3) Insert a group on this formula as main group
4) Write the suppress condition for this group header section like
{?Parameter}=”DEPT”
5) Create another formula like
If {?Parameter}=”DEPT” then {dept field} else {client type field}
6) Insert this formula as a sub group and place the crosstab
Now when you select “DEPT” the crosstab will show the data department wise and when you select “Summary” the crosstab will show the client data for each client
