Hi,
I have a Webi report with 2 tabs. First tab displays the table with rows and columns it has a footer which displays page numbers( total no.of pages in the report for example say 10 pages). Second tab of the report basically displays summary of the report . I want to display Total number pages = 10 in summary report, i.e., second tab.

For Ex.
2 Tabs, say Report1 & Report 2. Report 1 consists of 10 pages. I want to display that number(i.e., no of pages report 1 consists of) in Report 2

Could anyone help me out with this issue?

Thanks in advance,

prerna.

Hi,
use ‘NO OF Pages()’ Function in the report.

My guess is that you won’t be able to do what you want to. Something like NumberOfPages() would only populate after all the data tables and display is built.

Generally there are a set of functions like RowNumber() that can only be used to display stuff and not in logic because they are populated last.

Would be good to have a solution. I have had to do this to have a fax cover sheet. In that case I have had to have the cover sheet in a section on the same report/tab after all the ‘normal’ stuff. Then I use a PrintCover prompt to hide the section for everyday use.

I am not sure but it seems not possible as you are trying to get no. of pages of first report tab to be displayed in second report tab.

All the functions present in webi will give results for that particular report tab only where it is used.
