Unable to get cells for the columns which have no data in cross-tab report

Question

Hi friends,
I am developing a cross-tab report.
Let's take an example to explain the problem.
Here is the XML file i am using
  <?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <!--  Generated by Oracle Reports version 6.0.8.11.3
  -->
- <MODULE1>
- <LIST_G_SCHEMECODE>
- <G_SCHEMECODE>
  <SCHEMECODE>171091</SCHEMECODE>
  <AMOUNT>0</AMOUNT>
  <ASSET_TYPE>Govt Guarantee</ASSET_TYPE>
  <MARGIN>0</MARGIN>
  <AMOUNT_SECURED>0</AMOUNT_SECURED>
  <VALUE_OF_SECURITY>0</VALUE_OF_SECURITY>
  </G_SCHEMECODE>
- <G_SCHEMECODE>
  <SCHEMECODE>171091</SCHEMECODE>
  <AMOUNT>0</AMOUNT>
  <ASSET_TYPE>Loans To Govt</ASSET_TYPE>
  <MARGIN>0</MARGIN>
  <AMOUNT_SECURED>0</AMOUNT_SECURED>
  <VALUE_OF_SECURITY>0</VALUE_OF_SECURITY>
  </G_SCHEMECODE>
- <G_SCHEMECODE>
  <SCHEMECODE>171093</SCHEMECODE>
  <AMOUNT>0</AMOUNT>
  <ASSET_TYPE>Govt Guarantee</ASSET_TYPE>
  <MARGIN>120</MARGIN>
  <AMOUNT_SECURED>0</AMOUNT_SECURED>
  <VALUE_OF_SECURITY>0</VALUE_OF_SECURITY>
  </G_SCHEMECODE>
- <G_SCHEMECODE>
  <SCHEMECODE>171093</SCHEMECODE>
  <AMOUNT>0</AMOUNT>
  <ASSET_TYPE>Loans To Govt</ASSET_TYPE>
  <MARGIN>0</MARGIN>
  <AMOUNT_SECURED>0</AMOUNT_SECURED>
  <VALUE_OF_SECURITY>0</VALUE_OF_SECURITY>
  </G_SCHEMECODE>
- <G_SCHEMECODE>
  <SCHEMECODE>*171095*</SCHEMECODE>
  <AMOUNT>0</AMOUNT>
  <ASSET_TYPE>Govt Guarantee</ASSET_TYPE>
  <MARGIN>100</MARGIN>
  <AMOUNT_SECURED>0</AMOUNT_SECURED>
  <VALUE_OF_SECURITY>0</VALUE_OF_SECURITY>
  </G_SCHEMECODE>
  </LIST_G_SCHEMECODE>
  </MODULE1>Now I want SCHEMECODE in rows and ASSET_TYPE in columns.
And the each ASSET_TYPE column is to be divided into 2 sub-columns (MARGIN,AMOUNT_SECURED).
I am able to achevie this.
The problem is that ,for the schemecode 171095, since there is no data for ASSET_TYPE "Loans To Govt",no cells are generated for this SCHEMECODE and ASSET TYPE.
But the requirement is to generate blank cells.
If needed i will send the template at xml files also.

Answer 1

try this, there must be simpler one i guess...
1. take a form field, and make its type as number. Paste the below one <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'v1',2)?>
2. now take a table with as below,
A l B |
C l D1 l D2 l E1 l E2 l
observe that i. A, C are in one column
ii. cell B is on top of D1, D2
iii. we have no cell on top of E1 and E2 cells
iv. 'l' represents the wall of the cell :)
A: <?horizontal-break-table:1?> SCHEMECODE
B: <?for-each-group@column:G_SCHEMECODE;ASSET_TYPE?> <?ASSET_TYPE?> <?end for-each?>
C: <?for-each-group:G_SCHEMECODE;SCHEMECODE?> <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'v1',2)?> <?SCHEMECODE?>
D1: <?for-each-group@cell:current-group();ASSET_TYPE?> <?MARGIN?> <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'v1',xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v1')-1)?>
D2: <?AMOUNT_SECURED?> <?end for-each?> <?end for-each?>
E1: <?for-each@column:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v1'),1)?>
E2: <?END FOR-EACH?>
3. If you are confused gimme your email id, i will pass the template. But you should add credits to me.. :)
