DateTime Grouping on the Column Cells of the Matrix

edited December 2008 in FastReport .NET
Hello,

I am going to ask if there will be a support for automatic grouping of the column cells of the matrix which are of the DateTime data type.

For example, think of that query.

Select SalesType,SalesDate,Count(*) as SalesCount From SalesTable

To put this query in a matrix, developer should go like this:

SalesType = RowCell
SalesDate = ColumnCell
SalesCount = DataCell

What if I want to see first the year of the sales and then the quarter as two ColumnCells?

Right now we can achieve this partly though a query like "Select SalesType, Year(SalesDate), Count(*) as SalesCount From SalesTable"

    Hello,

    That's right, your query should return two separate columns (year and quarter). Another way is to create two matrix columns and use expressions, for example:

    [Table1.SalesDate].Year
    [Table1.SalesDate].Month

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
