ASPRunner.NET supports cross-tab reports (often called pivot tables). On the Group fields screen, you can choose two or more variables (columns) and assign them to the X or Y-axis. You can assign more than one variable to the axis and switch between them in the generated report.
On the Report: Totals screen, you can choose the totals options like Min, Max, Sum, and Average.
Here is how a cross-tab report looks like in the generated application. You can select the variables, totals types, and data fields to display.
