HI,
This is not a native feature of OBIEE, however with a little cleaver javascript, you can accomplish this.
1) Setup your pivot table as you normally would
2) Add a static text object to the bottom of your report
3) Enable HTML in the static text block
4) Paste the following code into your static text block
<script type="text/javascript">
var debug =0; // set debug variable
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Get all tables"+"<BR>");}
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Loop over the tables"+"<BR>");}
for(var table=0; table < tables.length; table++){
//if (debug === 1) { document.write("Check to see if we arrived at a pivot table"+"<BR>");}
if(tables\[table\].className != 'PTSectsTable' ){
//if (debug === 1) { document.write("We did not encounter a pivot table"+"<BR>");}
continue;//not the correct tag, keep looping
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Found a pivot table"+"<BR>");}
var tbody = tables\[table\].getElementsByTagName('tbody')\[0\];
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Grabbed the tbody code"+"<BR>");}
var trs = tbody.getElementsByTagName('tr');
var new_tr = document.createElement('tr');
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Created the new_tr variable"+"<BR>");}
while( trs.length > 0){
var new_td = document.createElement('td');
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Created a new TD element."+"<BR>");}
var new_table = document.createElement('table');
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Created a new table element."+"<BR>");}
var new_tbody = document.createElement('tbody');
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Created a new tbody element."+"<BR>");}
new_tbody.appendChild(trs\[0\]);
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Appended Section."+"<BR>");}
new_tbody.appendChild(trs\[0\]);
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Appended Data."+"<BR>");}
new_table.appendChild(new_tbody);
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Appended tbody to the table tag."+"<BR>");}
new_td.appendChild(new_table);
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Appended table to the TD tag."+"<BR>");}
new_tr.appendChild(new_td);
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Appended td to the overall TR tag."+"<BR>");}
//if (debug === 1) { document.write("Inspecting Node: "node"<BR>");}
//if (debug === 1) { document.write("TagName: "tbody.childNodes\[node\].tagName" with className: "tbody.childNodes\[node\].className"<BR>");}
tbody.appendChild(new_tr);
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Inserted the new_tr variable as the first child of tbody"+"<BR>");}
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Finished transposePivotTable"+"<BR>");}
</script>
5) Save and watch the javascript re-render your report horizontally instead of vertically
I've tested the code in Mozilla and IExplorer.
