Reports - creating nested tables for Table Group

I’m new to reporting and I’m trying to create a table that has sub tables (table group). The general format desired is something like:

Cut area:
Cut Machine 1 output details blah blah blah
Cut Machine 2 output details blah blah blah

Total of cut machines output machine output blah blah blah

Print area:
Print Machine 1 output details blah blah blah
Print Machine 2 output details blah blah blah

Total of print machines output blah blah blah

Etc.

So, I think what I need to do is create a dataset with sub datasets to feed the report, but the sub datasets aren’t working. I’m sure I’m missing something obvious in the second to the last line.

      areaQuery = "ProductionModel/GetAreasDashboard"
      lineQuery = "ProductionModel/GetLinesByArea"

       parameters = {"AnalysisName":"Analysis"}

       # Get a list of the areas in this plant         
      areas = system.db.runNamedQuery(areaQuery, parameters)
      areaCount = areas.getRowCount()
      areaData = dict()
      lineData = []
      for areaIndex in range(areaCount):
         logger.info("Area  %s" % areas.getValueAt(areaIndex, 'EquipmentName'))
         areaName = areas.getValueAt(areaIndex, 'EquipmentName')
         parameters = {"AnalysisName":"Analysis","Area":areas.getValueAt(areaIndex, EquipmentName')}
         # Get a list of the lines for the selected area         
         lines = system.db.runNamedQuery(lineQuery, parameters)
         linesCount = lines.getRowCount()
         headers = ["Area", "Line", "LineData"]
         for lineRow in range(linesCount):
            linePath = lines.getValueAt(lineRow, 'EquipmentPath')
            lineName = lines.getValueAt(lineRow, 'EquipmentName')
            params = {"EquipmentPath":linePath}
             # given line and area, get OEE and production for the specified period
             lineResults = system.mes.analysis.executeAnalysis(data['StartDate'], data['EndDate'], "Production Report", params)
             lineDS = lineResults.getDataset()
             lineData.append([areaName, lineName, lineDS])
                                                
     data['dailyDataByArea'] = system.dataset.toDataSet(headers, lineData);

The data fed to the report ends up looking like:


<dailyDataByArea>
   <row-0>
      <Area>Sheet Area</Area>
      <Line>7101</Line>
      <LineData>Dataset [24R x 20C]</LineData>
   </row-0>

   <row-1>
      <Area>Sheet Area</Area>
      <Line>7102</Line>
      <LineData>Dataset [24R x 20C]</LineData>
   </row-1>

   <row-7>
      <Area>Cut Area</Area>
      <Line>7301</Line>
      <LineData>Dataset [24R x 20C]</LineData>
   </row-7>

   <row-8>
      <Area>Cut Area</Area>
      <Line>7302</Line>
      <LineData>Dataset [24R x 20C]</LineData>
   </row-8>

Etc.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Wow, really sorry about the formatting nightmare that happened there.

Edit your post. Select (highlight) all of the code. Click the "code" button that looks like this: </>. Do the same in the future for any plain text, like log files and configuration files or XML or JSON.

Thanks for the tip.

I’m going a different route with the report, so never mind the question. If anyone with permissions wants to delete this topic, go ahead.
