Two Column Report

  • Hi all. needing some assistance here. I'm creating a fairly simple report that displays a list of reports. It only has two culmns, one for the ClientID and the other Client Name.

    How can I have this report display two sets columns?

    I'm trying to make it look like this on one page:

    ClientID......ClientName..................ClientID......ClientName

    1..................Name1........................7............Name7

    2..................Name2........................8............Name7

    3..................Name3........................9............Name7

    4..................Name4.......................10............Name7

    5..................Name5.......................11............Name7

    6..................Name6.......................12............Name7

    If list overflows to additional pages, then it will continue with Client 13 and then so on.

    Hope this explaination was clear.

    Thanks for the help.

  • I did this once for a 1-column report (long list of parts), which I actually displayed as 10 rows across. I did this by adding two fields to the data set:

    FLOOR((ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY PartID)-1) / 10) AS Row,

    (ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY PartID)-1) % 10) AS Col

    And then I used a matrix with row and col as the row group and column group, respectively. You would of course replace 10 with 2. Since you have two columns, you'd actually need a second, static column group.

    This method will sort left-to-right, not top down. If you wanted top-down sorting, you'd have mess with the fields a little, but you should be able to get there.
