The dialog displays the objects in the cross-tab configuration. The objects can then be dragged from the Row area to the Column area and vice versa, thus swapping the columns and rows. Note too that all other objects in the report are available on the left side, so completely different objects could be put into the cross-tab, or all of the objects completely replaced with a new selection. Likewise, report variables could be used as well (more on how to create report variables in the next subheading). So the reports can be completely redesigned by the end user, all through the Interactive mode, with no trip back to the query panel. This allows report designers to give the users maximum analytic flexibility while further shielding them from the database. Because reports can function as containers of predefined finite resultsets, the users can pick the reports and manipulate and analyze them in myriad ways without going back to IT for report refinement. Figure 20.16 shows the result of the pivot.

Figure 20.16. The axes are swapped, along with sums.
