| No Source tables are transposed horizontally and merged into a combined report by default. |
Please note that macro generated tables, for example, coming from Table Excerpt Include, Page Properties Report, Excerpt Include macros can be processed further with the help of our macros. For example, you can use the Table Filter macro to filter your report/set a default sorting and apply the Table Transformer macro to set a specific column width.
"Transpose Table" option within the Table Excerpt Include macro
Option 1
- Transpose Table = Auto
- Show as a report table = Enabled
Result
- Horizontal tables stay as they are
- Vertical tables are transposed horizontally
- All tables are merged into one big combined report automatically
This option is similar to the internal algorithm of the Page Properties Report macro.
Please note that if the "Show as a report table" option is disabled, there is no any auto transposition and the source tables are collected separately as they are.
Option 2
- Transpose Table = Always
- Show as a report table = Enabled/Disabled
Result
- Each table is transposed alternatively
- Horizontal tables are transposed vertically
- Vertical tables are transposed horizontally
- If the "Show as a report table" option is enabled and all the collected tables become horizontal, you'll get one big combined report
- If the "Show as a report table" option is disabled or if the "Show as a report table " option is enabled but not all of the collected tables become horizontal, you'll see separate tables that are simply transposed alternatively
Option 3
- Transpose Table = Never
- Show as a report table = Enabled/Disabled
Result
- Tables stay as they are
- If the "Show as a report table" option is enabled and all the collected tables were horizontal beforehand, you'll get one big combined report
- If the "Show as a report table" option is disabled or if the "Show as a report table " option is enabled but not all of the source tables were horizontal beforehand, you'll see separate tables as they are
