Adding subreport in subreport in crystal report

HiI am coverting a report made in Access Application which contains subreports within subreports.The nesting is upto five levels deep.As Crystal reports do not allow adding of subreports within subreports,how do i deal with it.Is there some other way to deal with the problem.Any suggestions and help will be appreciated.Regards Shaurya

if your nested subreports are on-demand then you can replicate them with hyperlinks. here's a good description, but there's a lot out there about openDocument. http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/BCIP_report_linking.pdf

How to Create a Linked Subreport in Crystal Report for Enterprise

Hi All
I am developing a monthly report grouped by cost centre, I want to create a second table for each cost centre showing year to date, underneath the monthly data for that cost centre. My thoughts on how to achieve this is to create a linked subreport in the group footer of the cost centre grouping. However every time I try to set this up the report crashes. Am I doing something wrong, can this be done in crystal reports for enterprise? Can anyone give me a pointer on how to set up a linked subreport so that it passes the particular cost centre the report is grouped upon into the subreport so it only shows data relevant to that cost centre?
Any help will be appreciated as I am going in circles at the moment.
Thanks
Neil

Hi Neil,
You are doing right. You can create linked subreport in crystal report for enterprise. Please refer below link to see the elearning tutorial in which a simiar scenario is explained step by step. Here its an unlinked subreport. Enable subreport filter to make it linked and try. It should work.

Linked Button error in a subReport with Crystal Reports

Hi expert,
I have a designed a subreport with Crystal Report, and I have add the Sap Linked button (OLE Object), to allow the user to click on the linked button and open the relativa Sap Document (Invoice, Delivery, etc etc).
In the hypetetx linked property, I have write the link
'http://$b1$/link=OINV&key=1'
In this way all is ok, but In my query I have the name of the table and the DocEntry, so I try this way:
'http://$b1$/link='&{Comando.Table}&'&key='&{Comando.DocEntry}
If I try to open the document, I retrieve the error: You are not permitted to perform this action. Authorisation Path: Help.
I don't understand if the problem is the authorization (i am manager, superuser) or if I had write in a wrong mode the hypertext link. (maybe the Apex?)
Anybody can help me?
Regards
Marco

Hi Marco,
if {Comando.DocEntry} field is string type try this code:
'http://$b1$/link?table='& {Comando.Table} &'&key='& ToText(ToNumber({Comando.DocEntry}),0,'','')
else if DocEntry field is number type try this code:
'http://$b1$/link?table='& {Comando.Table} &'&key='& ToText({Comando.DocEntry},0,'','')

Automatic reimport of subreports on Crystal Reports Server 2008

Hi,
if I import a subreport into a report, there is IMHO an option "automatic reimport when opening". Does this work also if I upload both report and subreport to a Crystal Reports Server 2008? If so, on which base does the report find the subreport (relative path, UUID?) ?
Thanks for information
Joern

I think if its supported for Crystal Designer then should be supported on Server also.
Also, posting this questions on Crystal Reports forum might give you fast and reliable ans.

Disable clicking on subreport in Crystal Reports Viewer

Hi,
To describe the situation, the report has 2 subreprts in the Report Header. When users click on any of those subreports in the Reports Viewer, the report closes and is back to the Parameter selection window.
Does anyone know how to prevent this? Is it possible to disable clicking on the subreport in the Viewer? Or lock the whole content? Disable clicks on the Viewer?
Thanks in advance.

Adding the columns dynamically in crystal report

Hi,
I am developing a application using asp.net and crystal report. In a report the column is created dynamically( ie, the report gets input from a sp which returns N no. of columns). Since i dont know the column name and no. of columns at design time i am not able to create the report. If any of you have any idea on adding the columns dynamically please send me the code or the link.

Adding a Hyperlink to a crystal Report

Hi,
A File: Links to a file on the user's computer.
i don't have CMC access in BO, so i am going to save report in local folder.
How to hyper link parent crystal report to child report using A File method.
Please suggest any solution??
Thanks,
Chandrakant

Hi Chandrakant,
Where do you view the reports from?
If you View the reports in InfoView, you should consider uisng an openDoc URL to hyperlink to another report.
The 'File' option will try to open the file in the application associated with it. If the machine doesn't have CR designer installed, the hyperlink will not work.

Text Wrapping of SubReport in Crystal Reports 2008

I am fully aware of the "Can Grow" option in the format editor screen of the subreport.
When I use the "Can Grow" Option - the Text is wrapping fine during the preview of the report, yet the subreport prints outside of the page's margins when the page is physically printed; however, if I set the font size to 9 pt, the text wraps correctly as expected during preview and print.
Any ideas as to why this may be happening? Anyone else having a similar issue?

Hi Taylor,
Check the length of the object displaying the text. The text will print within the size of the object, it has no concept of how large the subreport is, the text only knows the boundaries of the object it is in.
So if you shorten the length of your object in the subreport, it should wrap correctly. Make is about 1/4 inch shorter than you want it in the Main report.
Thanks,
Brian

Adding subreport in drillthrough report

How can I add a sub report in a drill through report.
Thanks in advance

Hi janeesh,
Any report that is stored on the report server can be a drill-through report. Usually, you can use "Subreport" control to add a sub-report in the report. In the main report, user can edit the action property of the textbox or image to add a drill-through report.
If there are any more questions, please let me knwo.
Thanks.

Adding a field to a crystal report in sap b1

All I am trying to do is to add the field for credit limited to the standard item invoice in SAP 8.8,
I have added the BP table OCRD and draged the creditline field to the layout, but when you view all the fields are empty.
I obviously need to link somthing - I have excepted the links that are automatically completed by SAP.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Jo

do a test report with just the table BP and see if the data is there.
If you see the data in the test report, than add the table you originally tried to link to. remove all the links that crystal has created and link it manually from the new table to the table BP. and run again. Once you get the link right, go back to your original report and fix the link.
Autolinking in Crystal is not reliable in fields linked and in the direction of the link.

Passing values from subreport to main report

Dear All,
I have used shared values in my sub report and i want to use that shared variable in my main report in one of the formulas for average calculation but i see the values as 0.
Can someone let me know what I am missing.
Regards,
Sonali

Hi
The most important thing to remember when using shared variables is that Crystal Reports must first evaluate the formula where the value is stored before evaluating the formula that retrieves the shared variable.
For example if you want to pass a grand total from the subreport to do a calculation in the main report, follow these steps:
1. In the subreport, create a formula similar to the one below:
//@SubFormula
//Stores the grand total of the
//{Orders.Order Amount} field
//in a currency variable called 'myTotal'
WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared CurrencyVar myTotal := Sum ({Orders.Order Amount})
2. Place this formula in your subreport.
3. In the main report, create a formula that declares the same variable name:
//@MainFormula
//Returns the value that was stored
//in the shared currency variable called
//myTotal in the subreport
WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared CurrencyVar myTotal;
myTotal
4. Place @MainFormula in a main report section that is beneath the section containing the subreport.
NOTE:
For the shared variable to return the correct value in the main report, you must place @MainFormula in a main report section that is beneath the section containing the subreport. This ensures Crystal Reports evaluates the @SubFormula before @MainFormula.
One way to do this is to insert a section below the section containing the subreport, and place @MainFormula in this new sub-section:
· On the 'Format' menu, click 'Section'.
· On the 'Sections' list, click the section containing the subreport.
· Click 'Insert' (at top of dialog box). This inserts an additional subsection.
· Click 'OK' to return to the report, and insert @MainFormula into this new sub-section.
The next time you preview the report, @MainFormula displays the value from the subreport. In this particular example, that value was the grand total of the {Orders.Order Amount} field.
5. Once you have verified that @MainFormula is returning the correct value from the subreport, you can include this formula in other main report formulas, such as:
//@NewFormula
//includes data from subreport
{@MainFormula} + Sum ({Customer.Last Year's Sales})
· Place this formula in the same section as @MainFormula, or in a section further down on the report.
You have now successfully shared data from a subreport with the main report.
NOTE:
This is not possible with On Demand Subreports in Crystal Reports since the report will not be processed until after clicking report.

Formatted Data Losing its Value Upon Entering Crystal Reports

Post Author: Horizon57
CA Forum: General
I am having an issue where I have tables of data in Access with the correct formatting (i.e. $, %, etc.) and when I create a table or graph in Crystal Reports, the formatting does not show up. Something that is 46.78% in Access, shows up in the following format (0.47) and dollar signs ($$) do not even show up. I am sure its not just a display issue with the data, because when I right click on a field in the field explorer and select the "Browse Data" option, the formatting is also missing in the same way that it is missing once that data is brought onto the report itself.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix this issue? I would like to avoid having to apply specific formatting to each field in each subreport using Crystal Reports (That could take hours!)
Thanks

I have sometimes also reproduced this behaviour without waiting these 3 minutes (more or less immediately).
In addition, after reproducing this behaviour, the fileds becomes read only and you can not write any more data in it. ¿?

Crystal Report Preview and Print error

I am trying my first Crystal report in SAP; I have created one report using OITE table and run it in Crystal Designer without any problem; Then I added it to SAP / Manager Crystal Report / New Report, but I get the following error message when I click the Preview and Print button every time;
The file does exist and the location is setup correctly; I dont understand why SAP can not find the file; Any comments?

OK

Hi,
When you google on "[Could not load file or assembly CrystalDecisions|http://www.google.com/search?q=CouldnotloadfileorassemblyCrystalDecisions]" you will find quite some hits.

Image Quality In Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010

I am using the new production release of Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 and I am having an issue with image quality when adding an image to a crystal report.
The image itself is a .TIF file, and when opened in Windows, the quality of the image, which is mostly text, is very high. The image was created from a electronic PDF form and I intend to use this as a background for the crystal report, over which I will place data fields.
As soon as the image is added to the report you can see the degradation in quality in the design window and in the preview window within visual studio. The quality remains low when viewing the report in the WPF report viewer and when printing from this control.
I have ensured the "Retain Original Image Color Depth" option is checked but this has made no difference (the image is black and white anyway).
The image in the report has been left at its native size, no resizing at all. The image is 355KB in size if that's relevant.
Is there a reason the image looses quality when added to a report? Is it being compressed? More importantly, is there a way to make the image retain its native quality when adding it to a crystal report?
Thanks in advance.

The following image is the image I am trying to display. Although imageshack has converted it to a png, if you right click and save the image you can open it and zoom in with little image degradation.
http://img132.imageshack.us/i/j301.png
The following is a screen shot of how the tif file looks in the designer when zooming in:
http://img138.imageshack.us/i/j30lowquantity.jpg
The second image has lost its clarity and is unusable when printing.
I hope this helps.
