To add a Cross-Tab to an existing report using the Cross-Tab Expert
In this example, a Cross-Tab is added to an existing report to show the
sales in North America compared to the rest of the world. However,
instead of defining the report by dragging fields into it, you will use the
Cross-Tab Expert.
1. Open your report.
This example uses the Group By Intervals.rpt included in the Feature
Examples directory.
2. Click the Design tab.
3. On the Insert menu, click Cross-Tab.
Tip: Another way to do this is to click the Insert Cross-Tab button on the
Insert Tools toolbar.
An object frame appears with the Arrow cursor as you drag the Cross-
Tab object into the report.
4. Place the object frame in an empty area in the Report Header and click
to release it.
An empty Cross-Tab object appears in your report.
5. Right-click the Cross-Tab and select Cross-Tab Expert from the shortcut
menu.
The Cross-Tab Expert appears. This dialog box is made up of three tabs:
Cross-Tab, Style, and Customize Style.
