Unable to add caption to Calculated Fields in "Field section" of Webdatarocks pivot table.
Non-calculated fields comes with caption but caption doesn't works for Calculated fields.
Note : In table caption works fine.
I have created a report with calculated fields. In my example, captions work well both in FieldList and on the grid.
You can take a look and compare it with your one: link to CopePen.

I have created a query in Base which has a calculated column (modified sql SELECT statement) based on another column in the query. The problem is when I enter a value for the column on which the calculated column is based and then tab to the next field, the calculated column is not displayed. Is this the way base works or am I doing something wrong?
That is the way Base works; calculations are made at the time the form is loaded or refreshed, or when a query is run. If you want new calculations to be made you have to rerun the query or refresh the form.
"Refresh form" is an available "action" property of form buttons, and getting calculation results is a common use for a refresh button.
Forgive my ignorance for the proper terminology, but let me try to explain what I want to happen.
I have two custom fields on the incident table/form. I have created a custom table with 2 columns. I have figured out how to reference the table in one of the fields, allowing me to search the entries. Now I want to link the field selection to the other field via the custom table I made. When I make a selection in field A, I want field B to populate with the other column on the same row Field A pulled from in the first place. How would I do that?
Sounds like you want what's commonly referred to as a "derived field" or a dot-walked field.
You have a reference field which stores the reference to the other table, and want a second field on the form that shows another field on that referenced table. You don't actually need to create a new element, you just need to add a dot-walked form element.
Once you have the reference field added, go to Personalize/Configure the form layout.
In the slushbucket of available fields, you'll notice that reference
fields show up in green text with a little [+] next to them.
Select your reference field and a little button will show up between the two
lists, just above the "Add" button
Click that button and the left-side available fields will show the fields available on that reference field's table.
From here, select that second field that you want to display on your form, and bring it over to the right side where you want it.
First, I tried to create a multivalued combo box in a form but the Lookup Wizard didn't give me the option like it does in a Table.
So...then I created exactly what I wanted in the field in the table. I know how to display the correct values you want using column bound, column width, etc.
I thought I could create a text box in the form and bound it to the appropriate field in the table. But the result I get is the ID number Access assigned to each record...not the descriptive value I actually want. How do I get the descriptive field (not the ID) to display in my form?
Thanks.
Use a combobox.
ControlSource = field name
ColumnCount = 2
CoulmnWidths = 0cm
I am trying generate one sale bill format format in telerik report design.
I Need Output like detail band is grow to fit page size. like adding blank row.
i have used table inside details band.
Is there any property in detail band or in table to fit page size?
or i have to manually add blank rows?
You can set the Docking property by selecting the table and then using the property window to set the value.
Set it to Fill by clicking in the value box and selecting Fill.
Alternatively you can just type Fill.
I am trying to sort the column group in crosstab but iReport is applying its own sorting by name ascending. I tried inserting "Order By Exp.", but it didn't work. (Field not found error!)
What is the correct way to add our own sorting by field/variable? Or I have presorted data, viewing it as it is will do.
I had a similar problem. I wanted to display a "Heading" from the database, but I did not want it to sort alphabetically since the order of the headings were user determined.
I had a HeadingOrder field that I wanted to sort by. To use it in the sort expression it has to be in the cross tab.
I had heading in my column so made 2 column groups: 1) HeadingOrder 2) Heading.
I removed the text field that displayed the heading order number and collapsed that area so it did not display. This allowed the cross tab to display the Heading while using the HearingOrder field as the dominate sort.
WORKAROUND:
Concatenate the field (to be used in the Column-Group) with the sort by field in the sql query itself. suppose field name is "title" and sort field name is "rank", then
select (mt.rank ||'-'|| mt.title) as title from my_tab mt
(Above query specific to postgresql)
Use this "title" field in corsstab column-group as usual.
Click on text field of "title" column group on crosstab.
Edit its "Text Field Expression" from properties panel as $V{title}.split("/")[1]
Right click the crosstab in ReportInspector-->click on crosstab data
a new window would open.
Now click on Data is pre-sorted. this will do the work
user1120946, for me what did the trick was to disable the total of the subgroup (e.g. Heading), and enable only the total of the overgroup (e.g. HeadingOrder). Then just put the measures in the HeadingOrderTotal column.
That is meant as a comment on the second answer.
this is a duplicate of Crosstab Sorting in JasperReports and the referenced "rather clean although tricky solution" based on hidden group(s) works quite well
