Hi All,
I am trying to create a crosstab report in va as Row variable, column variable with Measure value as i want to see the matrix of the row x column measure value as
it shows the sparse values (--) .
also I would like to hide the measure value column names under the actual column name. please share if you come across this kind of issue.
thanks in advance!
It does confirm that the lines indicating sparse values are expected. Unfortunately, you cannot remove those unless you change the data to be something other than sparse (e.g., missing or some dummy value).

I am not able to visualize what you are asking. Do you have an example that you can post?

On the Options tab, you could change the color of the measure heading to white, or whatever color the background of the table is.

Using horizontal lines to represent non-existent values (aka, sparse values) is expected for a crosstab in 8.5 and later. That behavior cannot be changed. I don't see in the thread where the version is mentioned. Are you using 8.5 or later?
