Business Reporter Repeaters

Hi @Georgina.mitchell ,

Yes you can use non- design items as reporters in Business reports.  When adding the repeater make sure you check the correct start and stop position. Because it can change the rendering for the report.

also check the filter criteria of the report and see how it setup in each level including report book and report sheet levels.

there might be some filters which restrict the data to repeat as intended.

Kind Regards!

HI, 

Select Each one of the Design Row Separately and Add the Repeater, Highlighted below for your Reference.

Hi Niomal,

 

Yes I have been trying to select the entire section of rows as below:

But the option to add a repeater is greyed out.

 

Thanks,

Hi @Georgina.mitchell ,

problem is you are trying to select the headers (manual entries) those cannot be added as a repapers unless it is combined with some data item from the information source ,

if you want to create a same report reputedly for different entities,  I would recommend you to add a sheet repeater instead.  by adding sheet repeater, you can have a separate  sheet per entity in the same report.

for example, if you have 5 reporting entities then you can have a sheet repeater and there will be 5 sheets  and each sheet will contain data per entity.

in that way it will be more clearer for data as well.

Kind Regards!

Hi Niyomal / Reddy

Thank you for coming back to me.

I am very familiar with sheet repeaters as we use them on a number of reports, however for this particular report we want all of the companies on one sheet so it can be used as a base for our consolidated forecasting.

It looks like the method I am trying to use will not be possible so I will go back to the drawing board.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks,
