Merge to Next Panel, Repeat in Detail Panel, Remove Blank Row
You can control panels of a banded object in the exported Excel file by settings the three properties:
- Merge to Next Panel controls whether to merge current panel to the next panel. It applies to the banded header, banded page header, group header, and group footer panels.
- Repeat in Detail Panel controls whether to repeat certain panel with the detail panel. It applies to the group header and banded page header panels.
- Remove Blank Row controls whether to remove blank rows in the panel. It applies to the banded page header, group header, and detail panels.
The three properties take effect only when the Columned property of the web report is set to true, and there is an operation order when those three properties work together: Merge to Next Panel > Repeat in Detail Panel > Remove Blank Row.
Notes:
- Do not set Merge to Next Panel to true for the last group footer panel, because it will make the exported Excel file incorrect.
- Do not set Merge to Next Panel to true for the panel that contains crosstab or subreport.
- When you specify to repeat a group header panel, if there is a chart in the panel, the chart cannot be repeated.
- If a banded object contains more than one group-by fields, that is to say, it has several group header panels, when you specify to repeat the first group header panel in the detail panel, it will be repeated in the second group header panel as well.
