APEX

I am new to Application Express. I am trying to create some basic financial reports using it (e.g. Income Statement, Balance Sheet). Typically, these reports are organized vertically where each quarter's financial data is displayed as a separate column. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to create these types of reports using Application Express?

I did play with the "vertical report, look 1" report template. When I used this each record was oriented vertically instead of the default horizontal orientation, but the records appeared in individual tables instead of one large table with multiple columns.

Here is an example of the type of report I am trying to create: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=ORCL

Thanks in advance.
