Old Skool Crosstabbing

James came up with a cunning crosstab report question on the forum this week.

Does not look that bad right? Sadly the new crosstab builder can not build what we need. Notice there is no summarization in the grid; just a listing of times for each employee, these are clock in/clock out times, no calculations.
Here’s the data:

<?xml version=”1.0″ ?>
<rowset>
<row rownumber=”1″>
<EMPL_NAME>John</EMPL_NAME>
<DAY>Wednesday</DAY>
<DATE>11/18/2009</DATE>
<TIME>08:15</TIME>
</row>
<row rownumber=”2″>
<EMPL_NAME>John</EMPL_NAME>
<DAY>Wednesday</DAY>
<DATE>11/18/2009</DATE>
<TIME>12:15</TIME>
</row>
<row rownumber=”3″>
<EMPL_NAME>John</EMPL_NAME>
<DAY>Wednesday</DAY>
<DATE>11/18/2009</DATE>
<TIME>13:15</TIME>
</row>
<row rownumber=”4″>
<EMPL_NAME>John</EMPL_NAME>
<DAY>Wednesday</DAY>
<DATE>11/18/2009</DATE>
