Hide Calculated Column in Matrix Report And show only in Total

Hi All,

I need to show the Cumulative calculated value only in Total by year/Group. I could not use Visibility expression using

InScope, as it creates *Blank column. Please go thru details below.

Year

Month01 02 03 Total

Salary Salary Salary Salary Cumulative (Calc)

Employee01 20 5 25 25

Employee02 10 10 20 45

.....

Total

How can i achieve this?. Any suggestion on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

You have a couple of options:

1 - Can you add Total Salary as part of your dataset and return that for each Employee/Year ?
If so, then you just include that field in your cumulative statement, so no need for the column

2 - You may be able to take both Tot Salary and Cumulative salary and place them in a single cell using the cells in cells technique. Select your cell and drop a Rectangle control into it. You’ll notice the background change from solid white to the transparent grid pattern. Next, select a textbox control and drop this into the rectangle. You have to get it perfect and sometimes it’s a bit annoying when you don’t land exactly on the control. Next, drop in another textbox so it rests directly beside your first one.
In one cell add your Sal Tot, and in the right textbox the Cumulative Salary. Set the Sal Tot textbox to hidden=True and as small width as possible. To the end user it will appear as though this is a single column.
