Couple of problems or I just may be missing something:
1) I got the cross-tab to work originally by a simple Count on the SOPNumbe in Summary. (I found I could not just have the Tracking number in the row - the OK was grayed out until I put something in the summary.)
2) I was also able to shrink the width of both the SOPNumbe column and the Total as well as suppress.
3) However, the minute I added a 2nd summary using the Tracking number, I lose the width in the Row #1 Name and add depth to the field, which Suppress does not get rid of. Also I can no longer shrink the width of the fields with the result that each tracking number takes two lines.
4) It is important to note that when I right click on the cross-tab, it does not show a Group Sort Expert. AND there is no Top N in the Change Summary box, only maximum, minimum, count, distinct count, Nth largest, Nth smallest, mode, and Nth most frequent. If I choose any of the Nth's, with any number, it wipes out ALL the tracking numbers. as well as widens those 2 columns out.
So, either my 8.5 is missing something or I am. I've attached the report that worked except for the expanding height. You will see on page 2 the long list of tracking #s. Perhaps you can tell where I'm missing the boat.
Thank you again, so very much.

Oops it won't let me attach the file with the data, so here is a JPG of the results if the actual report (minus the data) comes through.
Okay, well, the report won't come through. 8.5 won't let me save the RPT in any of the file types below - just the data
