Report Gallery
QLR Manager supports the creation of 3 tabular report styles with the capability to control many characteristics such as the title, column headings, footer, breaks, data formats, colors, page rows, etc.
   Standard
Pivoted
Table

The examples below were generated from the same query with the 3 different styles applied to illustrate the affect on the output. Fonts, colors and other attributes were modified to demonstrate what is achievable.

Standard layout:

A standard layout is the simple presentation of data in rows and columns. This example was formatted with a Break1 Action applied to the Region. The Break1 text was set to &c1 (referencing column 1) to substitute the current Region name as the Break text. The Plan, Actual and Target data have been "Summed".

Southeast January 9.0  6.0  9.6 
  February 7.0  8.0  7.5 
  March 9.0  11.0  9.6 
Southeast 25.0  25.0  26.8 
 
Southwest January 22.4  23.1  24.0 
  February 29.0  26.5  31.0 
  March 25.4  22.3  27.2 
Southwest 76.8  71.9  82.2 
 
TOTALS 101.8  96.9  108.9

Pivot layout:

A pivot layout spreads the values of the pivoted column across the page and creates a row of data for each of the other columns that have an Action, such as Sum, Maximum, Minimum, etc. In this example, the "Pivot" Action was applied to the MONTH column. This creates rows of data for the Plan, Actual, and Target columns and they have the "Sum" Action applied. A pivot layout will display data at the Break level.

Table layout:

A table layout spreads the values of the column specified as the "Table" column across the page horizontally. But, unlike the pivot layout, it creates column sets for each of the Action columns, such as Sum, Maximum, Minimum, etc. In this example, the Table Action has been applied to the MONTH column and the Region has been "Grouped".
