To access the OLAP Expert, select the entire grid object by clicking one
of its borders. Right-click the selected grid and, on the shortcut menu,
click OLAP Expert.
The OLAP Expert has two tabs not found in the OLAP Report Creation
Wizard. Use the Customize Style and Labels tabs to format your OLAP grid.
As well as letting you format an OLAP grid’s rows and columns, Crystal
Reports lets you designate report objects that don’t expand horizontally, such
as text objects, field objects, OLE objects, charts, maps, lines, boxes, and so
on, to be repeated on each additional horizontal page that the OLAP grid
creates. For more information, see “Repeating report objects on horizontal
pages” on page 267.

1. On the Customize Style tab of the OLAP Expert, select a dimension.
2. In the Group Options area, select the color from the Background Color
list.
3. Click OK if you have finished customizing your grid.
