Cross-tab cell padding: how to change

Post Author: EnRoute
CA Forum: General
I am trying to minimize the height of the cells of a cross-tab object. I can re-size the text, but that doesn't change the padding between the text and the cell border lines. There is more padding than I want. If I reduce the text height any more, the bottoms of the letters g, j, p, q, and y are truncated, even though there is a significant amount of whitespace below. Is there a way to change the amount of cell padding?

One way to do it in CR XI is to right click on the cross tab and then Cross Tab Expert and in the Customize Style tab, uncheck Show Cell Margins. That will eliminate the cell padding of white space.

Changing cell padding does not change margin

The text in the cell of an existing table is clearly indented from the cell border. However, the cell padding is set to 0. When I change the cell padding to 10, 50, or any other number, the text margin does not change.
I am trying to create another table. The text in the new table is flush left. Whatever I set the cell padding to, the text margin does not change.
The documentation indicates that the only way to change the cell margins is to change cell padding. Obviously that does not work. How do I change the cell padding?
Thank you.
Cathy

Can you please anwser couple of queries to nail down the issue?
1) Please let us know the Contribute Version and OS you are using.
2) Is this happening with a particular page?
3) Can you try creating a new blank page, insert a table and modify the Cell Padding value.Check whether it is getting reflected and also verify the cell padding parameter is added in the code.
4) Previously if it worked and broken suddently, please try clearing the Contribute preference. Refer to the blog post, blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2011/11/launch-contribute-freshly-by-deleting-preferences.html

Relative positioning of two cross tabs.

I have two cross tabs. The first one is dynamic as the number of columns change based on user prompts. The second cross tab is fixed one column which is attached as the last column to the first cross tab.
When the columns of first cross tabs change, the second cross tabs column doesnot move across to fit as a last column i.e., there is no relative positioning between the cross tabs..
How do we achieve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Right click on the section where the two crosstabs placed and go to section expert and check the option "Relative Positions"

Extend style with cross-tab

Hi guys,
As is shown above, how to dynamically adjust section "Extend style"'s width, accroding to section "Cross-tab"'s width.
Thanks.

hi Hu Po,
do you mean
(a) the number of columns in Extend Style increases or
(b) the width of the existing columns in Extend Style increase?
if (a) the only way that the Extend Style cross-tab could expand automatically is if it had a field in the Cross-tab Expert > Column dialogue that matched the field in "Cross-tab" in your screen shot.
if (b) unfortunately the Width property in a cross-tab cell's Size And Position dialogue is not available like it is in other objects like fields.

Creating a Cross tab that contains fields with shared variables

I am trying to create a cross tab in CR2008. I can get the field in the details but cannot choose it when trying to create a cross tab. Please help.
Thanks.
Shared numbervar MonHrs;
Shared numbervar TueHrs;
Shared numbervar WedHrs;
Shared numbervar ThuHrs;
Shared numbervar FriHrs;
Shared numbervar SatHrs;
Shared numbervar SunHrs;
If dayofweek(today) = 1
    then {@CapacityTeamCount} * SunHrs else
if dayofweek(today) = 2
    then {@CapacityTeamCount} * MonHrs else
if dayofweek(today) = 3
    then {@CapacityTeamCount} * TueHrs else
if dayofweek(today) = 4
    then {@CapacityTeamCount} * WedHrs else
if dayofweek(today) = 5
    then {@CapacityTeamCount} * ThuHrs else
If dayofweek(today) = 6
    then {@CapacityTeamCount} * FriHrs else
if dayofweek(today) = 7
    then {@CapacityTeamCount} * SatHrs

I don't use CR cross tabs as a matter of preference so I can't tell you if the shared variables are having an impact on their availability in the cross tab dialog or how to make the necessary adjustments...
I can, however, tell you that you don't need a cross tab for what you are trying to do. All you need to do is split all of the IF formulas in to their own formulas.
This will place each day in it's own column.
Now... you'll notice that there's a lot white space and nothing's aggregated... Not to worry, it's easy to fix.
Just create a grouping on which ever field you were going to use as "rows" in the cross tab... insert SUM totals in the group header... and hide the details.
Now you have created your own manual cross tab, without using CR's cross tab object.

Changing cell height in a cross tab

Hi,
I want to reduce the height of rows in a cross tab. The help index says to click a cell within the cross tab to activate the sizing handles, and to then click and drag them to change the height. But the only size handles I see are the one for the data itself within the cell, and not the cell itself.
And if I right click on the cross tab, I get the Size & Position option, which seems like what I want. But when I change the height there, it saves my change, but the height of the cell doesn't change.
Ideas?

I have CRXI, you can try, crosstab expert, customize style, look for ShowCellMargins,
uncheck that box, now you may need to adjust things to add a little extra room.

How to cross link/sync cells, where you can change either

Simple setup: I have a table with 2 columns:
Column A shows prices in EUR, column B shows prices in USD. How can I cross link/sync both cells, where you can change either?
So if I would change the EUR price (cell A1), it would update the USD price (cell B1). But it should also be possible to change the USD price (cell B1), and then the EUR price (cell A1) would update.

Here is a simple set of formulas
Column B = where you enter the cost in Euros or dollars. Cells formatted as automatic. When entering dollars, precede it with a dollar sign. When entering Euros, leave off the dollar sign or use the Euro symbol.
Column C = the conversion rate EUR/USD. I used the entire column for this but you could refer to a single cell that has the conversion rate.
Column D = formatted as US Dollars =IF(LEFT(B,1)="$",B,B/C)
Column E = formatted as Euros =IF(LEFT(B,1)="$",B*C,B)

Unable to bold a cell verticle line in Cross-tab Format Grid Lines

Hi
I am unable to bold a random Cell vertical line inside the cross-tab. My cross-tab is having access database which pulls every data correctly,
To elaborate , here is the images to make it clear.
First one is the current output of cross-tab & 2nd one is the desired output :
To make it more clear ,
I am giving the screenshot of Format grid lines option, when I have selected Cell vertical lines , I can change Line options (Like style,width,color) from it. When I change it, it changes all three lines simultaneously. But, in that, I just want to bold only the last line of this grid.
The screenshot as follows (To denote the lines, I have put numbering under the vertical lines, where I want to bold only the third one) :
Please let me know, if any solution to this. I m using CRVS_13.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
try to do this way..
Right click on crosstab - > crosstab expert -> customize style -> select your particular column then goto Format Grid Lines -> select your particular one based view -> ok..
I hope this not yet possible because select 1 automatically 2,3 vertical lines are selected..
See how it works......Please update ASAP

How to count number of columns in cross-tab report

I have created a cross-tab report and have managed to get the data out as below:
             Jan     Feb     Mar....(display of months will auto expand) Avg/Mo Total
UserA     4          3        4                                                                         11
UserB     6          1        1                                                                          8
UserC     5          5        5                                                                         15
Total       15        9        10                                                                        33
I want to insert a calculated column (Avg/Mo) into the cross-tab report based on the formula: Total/Number of Months. I used this calculation formula for Avg.Mo column:
(GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex+1, CurrentSummaryIndex)/GetNumColumns)
However, I get the wrong average since GetNumColumns count the total number of columns including the column of Avg/Mo and Total.
How do i get the number of columns, excluding the Avg/Mo calculated column and Total column?
PS: I can't use hardcode since the number of months/columns will auto expand the months progress...
Edited by: jutamind on May 26, 2010 9:27 AM

ok managed to solve this by slightly changing the formula:
GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex+1, CurrentSummaryIndex)/(GetNumColumns-2)

I modified the budget categories on the numbers template so now the transaction tab does not communicate with the budget tab. I figured out how to change the drop down options but how do I get it to reflect on my budget sheet? Please help.

If you are familar with the Numbers Budget Template it has two tabs 'Budget' and 'Transactions'. If you use the template as it is designed when you input expenses on the transaction tab it will automatically add that amount into the selected category on the budget tab. I have madified my budget tab to reflect the caegories that I need, which included adding several to the template. I also added to the table so it reflects my income and expenses so I can track where I am at with a glance. Since I did this, I can't get my transactions tab to communicate with the budget tab. I figured out how to change the options in the drop down box for category but I con't figure out how to get it to reflect onto my budget tab. I'm sure that it is an easy fix, however, I am just not well versed in Numbers. I appreciate your time in helping me with this issue.
Respectfully,
Jon

My guess is that while you added catetories to your Budget Sheet by adding new lines and filling in the category column, you didn't also add the formulas to these new budget lines.
The proper way to add those lines would have been to select a cell in the line just above where you want to add a line and type Option/Alt-DownArrow. This would have copied the formulas into the new line. Maybe you did this, and maybe not. You didn't give details on how you added the lines.
Select C2 and D2 and Command-C to copy them to the Clipboard.
Select all the cells of Columns C and D except for the top and bottom rows and Command-V to Paste.
If I have properly guessed the problem, you should be in business. This assumes that your Categories are exaclty the same as the entries in your Pop-up menus. Spelling counts, as does case.

How to change company code in Assignment tab (CJ20n-project builder)

Dear All,
Is there any config to maintain company code in assignment tab (project builder) ? We have a problem in our project. It shows that in basic data, user put company code A (in basic data) but in Assignment tab they put different company code let say B. When we do settlement , two accounting document created to company code A and B. By right it should be only company code A. In addition, we cannot change the company code, when the status is already Release (REL).
Please help how to change the company code B to A and how to reverse the accounting document that has been created under these two accounting document.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
nies

Now I understand your scenario, you have the Requesting Company Code and the Company Code Different.
You usually use this primarily with IM module if you want to manage the asset under construction (cross company) belonging to a different i.e., company code (Requesting ) than company code on main WBS.
You can not change the company code (Assignment Tab) as you already have actual posted against it.
You've also created an AUC (in wrong company code) and even if you reverse the settlement you would not be allowed to delete the AUC or the delete the settlement rule (its grey out as its already used)
What I can suggest is to reverse the settlement, lock this WBS which was created wrongly, create a new WBS and then continue with you regular process.
Above are my views but you can expect views from others.

How to compare 2 columns in a cross tab

Hi,
I need some idea on how to compare 2 columns in a cross tab in Deski.
Original Table is like this:
Type..............ID...........Name
Type1............1............BO1
Type1............2............BO1
Type1............3............BO2
Type2............1............BO7
Type2............2............ --
Type2............3............BO5
I did Slice and dice to the original table and now it looks like a cross tab
......................1..............2............3
Type1.........BO1....... BO1.......BO2
Type2.........BO7........-- ...........BO5
Now I want to compare column 1&2, 1&3 and put these values in new columns after column 3 for Type1 & Type2
Does anyone has any idea on this?
Thanks,

1. Right click your table
2. Select Calculations -> Count
3. It will insert a new column. Edit this new column formula and substitute it with thos other formula:
=If ( <Name> Where (<ID>=1) = <Name> Where (<ID>=2) ) Then "Column 1 equal to column 2" Else "They're not Equal"
4.Put this title in that column's header:
Column 1 vs Column 2
5. Repeat steps for comparison between 1 and 3, just that this is the formula you have to use:
=If ( <Name> Where (<ID>=1) = <Name> Where (<ID>=3) ) Then "Column 2 equal to column 3" Else "They're not Equal"
Note: Apply necessary changes depending on what you need.
