<p>Greetings to all,</p>
<p>I am using BIRT4.5 bundled with Eclipse.</p>
<p>In one of the data sets I am working on, I have is a csv file with about 100 columns of numerical data.</p>
<p>I have a requirement to group them and then aggregate them based on a certain condition.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I tried dragging the Aggregate button from the Palette to the layout cell but with a large number of columns it does not seem to be an efficient approach.</p>
<p>Moreover, it is very difficult to work in the layout area when the number of columns is too large since the cells will be very small.</p>
<p>Is there a way to programmatically (or via a script) to define these aggregates and assign them to the respective cells?</p>
<p>Is there a way to cut and paste some of the layout elements or store the report layout design as a common resource?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thx and BR</p>
