Hi Dell,
Group by flag works awesome.
No luck with either options to remove the first column 'Total'
-------
To get rid of the column, go to the Cross-Tab Expert and then to the "Customize Style" tab. Uncheck the following:
Column Totals On Top - NO LUCK
Row Totals on Left - NO LUCK
You may also want to check:
Suppress Row Grand Totals - - NO LUCK - removes the whole cross tab
Suppress Column Grand Totals. - - NO LUCK - removes the last column. I want to remove the first column which has 'Total'
For the fields labels to show I have checked summarize vertically & show summarized field labels- not sure if this is impacting it?
Also, if you have multiple fields in either the Rows box or the Columns box, you can select any of the fields and, if it's not the outer-most field, you can check "Suppress Subtotal". - Tried right click on 'Total' -> suppress grand subtotals' - this hides the whole cross tab
If the word "Total" is in your data, you can try removing the field from the Rows of the cross-tab so that you just have columns. - Its not part of data
