Cross-tab reports group data in two dimensions (down and across). They are useful for summarizing large amounts of data in a format that cross-references information.

The following steps create a cross-tab report in the report created in FlexReport Quick Start.

Add a Button to the Form in the FlexReport Quick Start project.
Set the Button Name to 'crossC1Button' and Text to 'View Cross Tab-Report'.
Create Click event as crossC1Button_Click.

Write the following code.

Visual Basic
C#

Visual Basic
