Examples These examples all use the crosstab-values expressions shown below:
Count(emp_id for crosstab),Sum(salary for crosstab)
This expression for a computed field in the crosstab returns the maximum of
the employee counts (the first expression):
CrosstabMax(1)
This expression for a computed field in the crosstab returns the maximum of
the salary totals (the second expression):
CrosstabMax(2)
The next two examples use a crosstab with two columns (year and quarter), a
row (product), and a values expression Avg(sales for crosstab).
This expression for a computed field returns the largest of the quarterly average
sales for each year:
CrosstabMax(1, 2, "@year")
This expression for a computed field returns the maximum of all the average
sales in the row:
CrosstabMax(1)
For an example illustrating how the painter automatically defines a crosstab by
creating computed fields using the
Crosstab functions, see CrosstabAvg.

CrosstabSum
CrosstabMaxDec
Description Calculates the maximum value returned by an expression in the values list of
the crosstab and returns a result with the decimal datatype. When the crosstab
definition has more than one column,
CrosstabMaxDec can also calculate the
maximum of the expression’s values for groups of column values.
For crosstabs only
You can use this function only in a crosstab report.
