Topic: Concatenating Fields Posted: 21 May 2013 at 9:10am
Hi,
How come sometimes you can drag a second field overtop the first and it will 'grab' and concatenate the two, but other times it won't grab? I'm not sure what controls this.

i have never seen it really do this. i have seen where the fields overlap and appear to be one field.
i actually took a ghetto approach and made a cross tab like that once. i couldn't get it to work how i wanted so i just overlapped 3 cross tabs to make 1 awesome cross tab.

I am not sure exacly what is being referred to but perhaps it has to do with text object vs. data field. if you grab a field and drag it over top a text object you can drop it inside the text object. YOu cannot drop a dat afield into another data field

Thanks!
But yes, I'm trying to drop a data field inside a text object. I've seen this a lot in the past - sometimes it will allow it and sometimes it won't, and I'm not sure what controls that.
