My customer needs a visualization of a boatload of text data (1000's of fields). Not a graphic in the lot.
Imagine a phone book with a persons name, nick names, addresses (home, work, school, previous), phones (all kinds). I can get the raw data dumped out with a simple table, but sometimes the data fields contain really long names that push the table beyond the window. So the customer must use a slider bar to move the screen over.
The amount of data is completely variable, but I'd like to add some structure to the output. All names, all addresses, all phone numbers, etc. I expect the report to be on average 200-300 lines...but can go on much longer.
Ideally, I'd like to set a fixed frame that all fields will fit into (like excel cells) with fixed sizes for each field definition. If data is too large for a field, the left n bytes will show and the rest of the table is maintained.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
faz
