    • on the next page (Across Only);

    Specifies the vertical distance between parts of the Cross Tab content in the Across Then Down print layout.

  • Print Totals For Single Values
    Specifies when to print totals:

    • for any field value even when it contains one nested value (checked);
    • for the field values that contain two and more nested values (unchecked).

  • Repeat Row Headers, Repeat Column Headers Specifies whether to repeat row/column headers when the Cross Tab content is split horizontally/vertically or print them only once.

Note

Cross tab cells are split between pages if they do not fit the page's width or height. Set the report's Vertical Content Splitting and Horizontal Content Splitting properties to Smart Smart to move cells to the next page (or to the Cross Tab's next part shown on the same page.

Adjust Control Size

Drag the Cross Tab's handlers to change its size. You can also resize individual rows and columns.

Use a cell's Column Auto Width Mode property to specify a cell width calculation method.

Use a cell's Row Auto Height Mode property to specify whether and how a cell's height changes to fit its content.

Column widths are changed before row heights.

Adjust Header Text

You can double-click any cell that displays the header and use the in-place editor to enter text.

Each Cross Tab cell provides the Angle property that allows you to rotate the cell's text.
