dynamic crosstab

Mikis

Hello,

I have a datafile that I'm trying to crosstab dynamically, but I got stuck.

The "group by" fields are variable, but I know that my header field is named "crosstab_string" and the datafield is "Value".

I have an input file telling me which fields are the group by fields, so I tried to build the XML and then use a macro to dynamically update the raw XML.

Attached is my attempt at a dynamic approach.

I get an error saying:

dynamic_crosstab (7) The Action "Tool #6" has an error: ParseError: Unterminated start tag, 'Methods' at line 1 and column 265¶while processing "Action_UpdateRawXml"

The macro also keeps telling me "FieldA" is not contained in the record (fieldA is in the macro itself, to serve as dummy data)...

Can somebody please help?

Thanks,

Mikis

You're going to kick yourself, but it looks like you just forgot a single '>' character. Update your Formula (6) tool with the following formula:

[crosstab_xml]  + '</GroupFields> <HeaderField field="crosstab_string" /> <DataField field="Value" /> <Methods> <Method method="First" /> </Methods> </Configuration>'

I added that and it worked as expected.
