Accessing trend line formula in Crystal Report

I am using Crystal Reports 8.5 and CR2008. I have a report showing a trend line (specifically the quadratic regression). I can show the formula that is being used for the report in the chart. How can I access the regression formula in Crystal Reports?
Thank you for your help.

hi James,
in short you can't...the charting engine is a separate 3rd party dll so what you see there is not necessarily available in the rest of cr in summaries etc.
in order to do things like this, you either have to do the calcs on your database or using formulas. i've attached an example of linear regression that i did a while ago. change the .txt extension to .rpt after you extract the contents. sorry, there are no instructions on how to do this.
on the attached sample though it does figure out the regression formula and also extrapolate data, show residuals etc. there are a couple of other "fits" in a parameter but i never finished those as it made my head hurt

Q: Added benefit of Crystal Reports when using WebI?

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding added benefit of Crystal Reports if we already have WebI.
Seem to me that it is possible to customize the design quite much in WebI, and as I understand it the publishing/publication is the same for WebI and CR.
Thank you in advance,
Best regards,
Mikael

Is there a way to Extract all formulas from Crystal Reports files?

Hi:
I have about 40 Crystal Reports (.rpt files). I need to go through each one and look at formulas if a certain variable/value is used since it has currently changed. It is taking way too long and not to mention inefficent to open each file, look through any place where there could be custom formulas such as when to suppress - etc. Is there are way to easily exact all custom formulas from all those report into say a Text file so I can do a Search for it? That would be the easiest way to find what I'm looking for.
I have Crystal Reports XI.
Thanks in advance for your help.

One option is to use a tool such as rptInspector. See: [http://www.softwareforces.com/Product/ri/pro/3/rptInspector.htm|http://www.softwareforces.com/Product/ri/pro/3/rptInspector.htm]

How to set Formulas in crystal reports 2008

Hi,
I am generating crystal reports in vb6 using CR 8.5 and vb6 and below is the code snippet for the same
CrystalReport1.Formulas(0) = "PrintTitle= '" & strMyTitle & "'"
CrystalReport1.Formulas(1) = "FromDate= '" & MskFromDate.Text & "'"
CrystalReport1.Formulas(2) = "ToDate= '" & MskToDate.Text & "'"
Please let me know how the same functionality can be achieved in VB.Net using Crsytal reports 2008
Any code snippet would be of great Help.
Thanks in Adnvance.

Something like this:
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Dim Report As New CrystalReport1()
Dim FormulaFields As FormulaFieldDefinitions
Dim FormulaField As FormulaFieldDefinition
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
FormulaFields = Report.DataDefinition.FormulaFields
FormulaField = FormulaFields.Item(0)
FormulaField.Text = "[formula text]"
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Report
End Sub

Programmatically create objects and formulas in Crystal Reports XI Developer edition?

Is it possible to programatically/dynamically create a text, line, formula field object, etc. in Crystal XI Developer edition? I have been programming with the Crystal .Net reports component that came with VS 2005 for the past 6 months and know for a fact you can't programmatically create those objects although you can programmatically control their properties. My intention is to create a dynamic report that can be reused extensively. My current work-around for this was to create a generic report with about 40 formula field objects which draws data from 40 corresponding formula fields that I can programmatically set it's formula thus imitating a report field. I want to update to the developer edition because I heard with this edition we can programmatically create and manipulate these objects but I found no reference or examples anywhere that proves we can do this? Does anyone know for a fact or point me to the right place to look for documentation? TIA

Hi,
How can I programmatically refresh list of values status on CR server XI R2?
Currently, after I modified the data source in the data connection, some of the LOVs in the report prompt window became empty when I tried to generate the report. I have to use Business View Manager to log onto the Crystal reports server XI R2, find and double click the list of values object to bring up the Edit LOV window, and then click on "Refresh Status" button to make the LOV available in the report prompt window.
What SDK should I use to create a simple application (preferable a desktop application) to find all LOV objects on CR server XI R2 and to refresh their status? That is an application similar to the "Refresh Status" function in Business View Manager.
I found Report Engine SDK has the Lov.Refresh function to refresh LOV. On the other hand, Report Engine SDK seems to be for BusinessObjects Enterprise, not for Crystal Reports Server. Can this or other function achieve what I want, i.e. to refresh list of values status on CR server XI R2? If yes, can I use it to develop a self-contained desktop application instead of a web application? I only need to run this application after I modify the data source in the data connection, so I prefer not need to deploy it as a web service.
Thanks for your help.

Last date for an invoice formula for Crystal Reports

Post Author: jegva
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I sure hope someone can help me write a formula to list only the last dated invoice from our database. Let me explain, our sales would like a report listing all of our customers showing their last dated invoice. We use SQL and Crystal Reports 8.5 (yea outdated). They are interested in showing all our customers and their last invoice/date so they can try to contact those who have not done business for some time. Please help!!!!!!!

Hi Scott,
One reason is the older versions introduced a .5 font reduction in the viewers. This was a good thing for some but bad thing for others so I assume what the developers have done is leave the font as is and show those # symbols now to indicate the viewer you are using and font you are using works differently on the OS and the various viewers being used.
In CR designer it uses the GDI+ to render the data through classic C++ function calls. I .NET it too uses GDI+ but it's the Framework making the calls and the Framework handles screen mapping differently. We've had this issue/functionality limitations since version 9. Various reasons and various work arounds resulted in various outputs.
Another reason is the C++ viewer built into the Report Designer and the .NET framework handling the fonts work slightly differently when rendering. This has been tracked and few times here by me and in both cases the cause is GDI+ has bugs in it so it's nothing we can do. Post or log your issue with Microsoft, they may be able to fix it. Once they do then if it's still a problem in CR we can fix it depending on what MS does.
Another work around may be to use a fixed font like Courier or some other font that has a specified character area all characters use, it may make the characters space oddly but as for displaying it's always the same size.
All I can suggest is they get into a practice of testing their reports in your app before "publishing"
Thanks again

Hyperlink using formula in Crystal Reports 8.5

Is there a way to create hyperlink formula to link to nth page in the report (in the exported pdf file)
for example:
i want to created a link to a text and when clicked on the link it should take me to page 8 in the same report.
Thanks
-Vivek

Hi Navin
Thank you so much for your response.
Is it particular to any one single report or all the reports which contain hyperlink.
basically it's just one report that should have filer names and pages numbers in the first page followed by the detailed report of all filers
Also let us know to what type you are linking to, Is it any email address else a website or a file type.
The table of contents is loaded from a sub report which is connected to a temporarty table with filer names and page numbers.
it's a database field

Passing values at run time through a JSP page to selection formula to crystal report

hi, i am using one jsp page.in that page there is a field to select a date this value will go to the report and report contain one selection formula.which value we are passing on that basis the report should displaywith date which we are passing from GUI.help.............................................................//R

I believe the value of this is based on the owner of the scheduled object. So if the Admin is scheduling it on behalf of a user I think it should use the user the Admin scheduled on behalf of. It should be simple to test, simply create a report with this value being displayed and nothing else and see what values you get.

Formula Help Crystal Reports 11

Hello,
I am having trouble with a selection formula. I wrote a report that queries 2 tables that have been joined within my report. A primary table and a secondary table. The secondary table can contain multiple detail records that are associated with each primary record.
There is a field in each record of the secondary table that contains an alpha character. I need a slection formula to scan through the fields of the secondary records and if one of those secondary records has a particular value (In this case "T") I would like ALL of the secondary records included in my report along with the primary record indexed to it. If no secondary record in the series has a value of "T" then all records should be excluded from the report including the primary record indexed to that series of secondary records.
Is there a function I can use to accomplish this type of logic?...an example of the appropriate syntax would be helpful.
Your help is much appreciated!
Mark

Hi Mark,
Use the InStr function. This will allow you to search for a string and it will return a numeric value which represents the placement.
Instr ({Table.FIELD}, "T") > 0;
This will return all records that have a "T" in that field.
Good luck,
Brian

Adding parameters to crystal reports dynamically

Hi,
I am creating a report for employee salary where Basic,HRA,etc fields are shown.Now if a new field is added to database say Medical Allowance,then how to add the field in report without changing the report.i.e. all the fields in the database added to the database should be printed in report without modifying the report.
Please reply.Thanks.

Hi
Without placing the field in report how that will be printed ? Once you add the new field, unless you click on Verify Database, it will not be shown under Field explorer.
I don't think you will be able to do this using tables..
May be you can create a stored procedure and concatenate all field to a string and pass that string to report and print it.
In this case also you need to modify the stored procedure.

Adding formula in sub report

Hi,
I am passing an product_id to subreport database table. I want to use this id in a sql like below and the result name i want to print on the report. How is this possible.
select NAME from active where id in (select a_id from prod_act where id =@product_id)
I also have the prod_name from prod_act table on the report.
Thanks in advance

Hi
Create a parameter with ID in your main report and In your sub report add command create a parameter and use that in your where clause like in your example. Now go in main report and right click on sub report and click on change sub report clinks and link your main report parameter with sub report parameter.
Now it will take your main report parameter value to sub report parameter.
Tthanks,
Sastry
