??????? appears in report heading

Dear All,
We are using ECC 5.0. When we generate any report (even in standard reports) in the header instead of menu options we get question marks (e.g ??????????? ???????????? ??????????).
What could be the reason?
Thanks n Regards

was able to do this. I still have another problem. I do not want blank lines appearing between pages when I port the report to excel. Any idea how to do this. I am using Report Builder 6.0.8.8.3
Thanks Aruna

Is there a way not to have page headings, and instead have the page heading as the report heading so that it appears only once in the report.
The problem I am having is, I want to be able to convert a report into a excel spread sheet, so I do not want periodic appearance of the page headings.I just want the headings once and then the data.
Thanks .

  • Image in report header appears in front of underlaying section line objects

    Hello
    I am trying to simulate a company letter header with company logo in page header.  I have added line objects in the underlaying sections so the user can see when the detail data/section ends.
    I have inserted an image into a report header
    I have set the page header to 'Underlay Following Sections'
    when I preview the report, line objects in underlying sections appear behind the page header image
    when I preview the report, text objects in underlying sections appear in front of the page header image
    Has anybody any ideas or better ways of achieving same results please?
    Ta very much.

    text objects are not behaving the same way, as a workaround I have set the top/bottom/left/right border property to single and used these instead of boxes or lines.

    Hi Keith,
    Thanks for your patience while this was being investigated. So the way Crystal Report's layout was designed was that items are put in a stack of multiple objects with the ability to move forward and back as needed. For some technical reason lines and boxes were left out of this which means they will always be in the back. Unfortunately we don't know the technical reasons that this was done as it goes back to some of our earliest versions, we are investigating this though.
    The difficulty know is trying to find the reason for this, and determining if this can be changes with out breaking backwards compatibility. In the mean time the developer has suggested a work around and are wondering if this would work for you?
    1. Insert a text object and enter nothing.
    2. Change the size (the height matches the line width) and background (background color matches the line color).
    3. Right click on the text object and select Move | To Front. And then the "line" will be on top of the picture.
    Kind Regards,

  • MSS Time sheet appearing to reporting Manager and Unit Head

    Hello Experts,
    We are implementing MSS in project and we are facing a problem:
    - We have Org structure
    Unit Head (chief Position)
    ^
    Asst Manager (not a chief postion) reports to Unit Head
    ^
    Associates (not a chief postion) reports to Asst manager
    Now when employees goes and submits his time sheet it appears correctly to Asst Manager  in MSS Time sheet Approval by Line Manager.
    Now the problem is that Associate's time sheet is also appearing to Unit Head. Incase Unit head selects it and approve, it will get approved which is incorrect. The Associates time sheet should only appear to Asst Manager not to Unit Head.
    Please help us how we can resolve this problem.
    thanks
    venkat

    As per your scenrio time sheet approval only for one level only. In workflow try to use logic A002 relation ship (Reports to). That means employees reporting manager.
    Discuss the same with your workflow consultant they will help you. Whoever is submit time sheet & it will go to employee line manager using A002 Relation ship.

  • Hide/show text boxes in report header

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to implement a request to have a tablix header frozen in excel. So, I'm placing it in the report header as text boxes. However, there are two different tablixes (a one per page) with two different headings. I'm trying to place those two headings
    into two rectangles in the report header hiding and showing a one of it based on the Page No. It works but only for the first tablix heading as it's shown on the first page and hidden on the second page. But, the second tablix heading is not shown on the second
    page for some reason. It's probably due to the Page No rendering is  going later than the text boxes  appearances on the second page or something else causing it. 
    I did try to use the Global Page No in if visibility statement for those two rectangles, trying to get Page No through a function, using it as a parameter,  but nothing is making the second rectangle to show on the second page report header.
    Please, help with how it could be done.
    Thanks

    Hi al-dol,
    Per my understanding that you have put the textbox in the page header to display the table head instead of in the tablix thus you will got the frozen head when export to excel, you have two table header, so you need to add two rectangle to display both in
    two different page, now the issue is the second page header didn't display, right?
    I have testted on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by when you move the rectangle2 on the position of the rectangle1 then the rectangle becomes the child of rectangle1 but not the child of page header thus you will
    not shown the rectangle2.
    Please check the details information below to see if you have got the rectangle2 inside the rectangle1 like below:
    if so, please move the rectangle2 one time and check to make sure you got the "Page Header" in the parent section of both rectangle:
    Please also make sure you have use below expression to show/hide the rectangle:
    rectangle1:
    =iif(Globals!PageNumber=1,false,true)
    rectangle2:
    =iif(Globals!PageNumber=2,false,true)
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

    Hello,
    Firstly if ur KF is a calculated KF then the text variable will display only if there is no overlap of variables belonging to same characteristic.
    If it is just restricted KF then try,
    Processing type: Replacement path
    Replace variable with: External characteristic value key
    In that the lower 2 settings are OFFSET START & OFFSET LENGTH...
    Try changing this 2 settings with negative and positive values and see if it brings you the perfect output
    if in Dev sys.
    try displaying each text varibale one at a time instead od showing both together.
    As the last option u can delete the two text variables from its definition and create them again

  • Show column in report header

    Hi
    Is there a way of showing a selected column in the report header in Portal, I believe I may need to use the htp.print function?
    For example
    if the sql was
    select emp, mgr from emp
    how could I get the 'mgr' column to show in the header?
    Thanks in advance

    I am trying to get a report that appears something like below:
    Manager Name: John
    Employee1
    Employee2
    Employee3
    Employee4
    which could be produced from 'select manager, employee from
    emp where manager = 'JOHN';
    I would wish the 'manager name' to show only in the header
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am using version 9. I have designed a report with a date range parameter that I would like to display in the report header. To get both the 'from' and 'to' dates to appear I am trying to write a formula, but keep getting the message "a string is required". My formula is as follows:
    "from" + Minimum({?Date Range})+ "to" + Maximum({?Date Range})
    Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?!

  • Report Header problem when exporting as Editable RTF

    Hey i was advised to post my query to this forum. My query is this Thread My report Header shows underneath my Page Header in Crystal reports 2008 can someone help me please?

    hi Demeleo,
    i was going through old forum posts and saw this one...did this get resolved?
    Hey
    I created reports in Visual Studio 2008 with crystal reports basic, i then upgraded to Crystal reports 2008 so i could be able to export them as EditableRTF. My first problem was i could not open my reports in VS 2008 anymore, but i do open them in The CR 2008 IDE. My problem now is when i export my reports my report header appears underneath my page header and my page number stays one. I noticed this happens when i export a report as EditableRTF.How can i Export my report to be editable without having this problems?
    using cr 2008 v1 (for cr server) i was not able to reproduce this issue when exporting to RTF.
    when exporting to Word, Editable, i can see this issue. mostly because the word export has the cr page header info going into the word page header.
    as the word export is essentially an RTF export anyway, i would recommend getting the latest patches / service pack for your cr and the RTF export should be what you're looking for.

  • Trouble with Report Header

    Hope this is the right forum, I am trying to build a custom report with a coverpage, the report is basically complete with one exception. The page footer section is causing a blank white area on the report header.  The page footer has graphics and text objects in it which don't show up it's just blank. What's worse is it takes the items that it chopped out and dropped them onto the next page.  WTF is happening here?

    Alright, that's what I was looking for. So, if you don't want the Page Footer on the 1st page, follow Debi's advice on suppress it on Page1.
    Here's how can do it though:
    1) Go to the Section Expert (Report > Section Expert) and select Page Footer
    2) Click on the x-2 formula icon beside the 'Suppress (No drill-down);
    3) Type this formula:
    Pagenumber = 1
    This will suppress the Page Footer from appearing on Page 1.
    -Hope this helps!

  • Modify Report Header using an expression

    Hi All,
    I would like to know if we can modify the Report Header programmatically? I basically would like to append a couple of lines in the header.
    I can think of two ways -
    1. ModifyReportHeader callback - this is really not an option for me as we need to do the implementation in a custom step.
    2. Override the default reportgen_txt.seq and reportgen_html.seq and edit them as necessary - this one seems a bit ugly to me.
    Any other ideas?
    thanks and regards,

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ray,
    Sorry, I if I was not clear earlier.
    This custom step would be used by a test sequence developer who has very little understanding of TestStand.
    The idea is that the person would drag and drop this step in to a sequence and add details of the Unit under test during edit-time which then should appear in the report header along with serial numbers etc. when the program is run. 
    For example, data such as:
    Test Specification: X123-456-789 Issue x
    Unit Part#: xxxxxxx
    Interface Part# xxxxxxxxxxxx
    Asking someone to add the callback would then require TestStand skills and would defeat our goal of trying to deskill this operation.
    I hope I am making sense!

  • Running SQL in a WebDB report header

    Is there any way to have a SQL statement generate data in the header of a WebDB Report? I've tried placing the oracle tag before and after the SQL, but the SQL text appears as the header to the report.

    Have you tryed creating a stored procedure
    which generates Html using the htp procedures
    For example
    create or replace procedure reportheader
    as
    cursor cSelectSomething is SELECT data
    FROM table;
    BEGIN
    FOR rij in cSelectSomething
    LOOP
    htp.print(rij.data);
    END LOOP;
    END;
    grant execute on reportheader to public;
    Now use this in your report header(no oracle tags necessary)
    [owner].reportheader;
    Good Luck

  • Missing report header when exporting to Excel

    When exporting to Excel from an ASP.NET application (Visual Studio 2003), some reports do not include the report header section.  The reports headers are there when exporting to PDF.
    I cannot see any obvious difference between the reports that export the report header and those that do not.  I believe that I have the latest service pack.

    I am using Microsoft Development Environment 2003 Version 7.1.6030.  The About Box only says Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET.  It does not show a version number.
    I have not been able to find any information regarding ExportHeaderAndFooter or even ExportHeader.  They do not appear to be options in this version of Crystal.
    I have tried reducing the report header to a simple text object that works OK on another report but it will still not export on this one.  The report footer does export OK though.
