Calculated Members in a Cross Tab

I have a Cross Tab report with Year as the Column Headers and Product Name as the Row Headers with Sales as the Summarized Field. There are 5 Year values (e.g. 2004 to 2009 Inclusive) and I have created 5 new Calculated Member columns that do comparisons between consecutive years. Everything works fine.
However, the report is parameter driven for the Year range and if I choose a new range (e.g. 2000 to 2004) different than my current range (e.g. 2004 to 2009) this causes all my Calcuated Member columns to disappear.
Is there a way to keep the 5 Calculated Member columns I created whenever I change the range of Years?
I do not want to resort to a Mock Cross Tab.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

David,
If your parameter for the years were a starting year number, you could base all your calculations on it.
for example starting year=X
then data selected would be between Year(X) and Year(X)+4
And your column calcuations would be for years X, X1, X2, X3, X4

Calculated column shows all zeros in cross tab discoverer report

Hi
I have a calculated column in a cross tab report which shows all zeros, but when i duplicate the report as 'table' the calculated colun is getting populated.
i did not understand why it is doing like that, are there any special privileges or any special settings required for creating a cross tab report.

Hi,
No there is no special privs for cross tab but there is an aggregation issue.
There are some methods of aggregations used in the discoverer.
First thing you can so is to make sure that in the cross tab sheet you use the detailed data points and that you are not combining different levels of aggregations (for example one amount in details and another one summed).
Second thing you can try is to change the aggregation for this worksheet, you can do that by going to the worksheet properties to the aggregation tab and try to change the settings.
Third thing is to check the pref.txt file in the application server and set "AllowAggregationOverRepeatedValues" to 1
BTW also search your data and find whether you got NULL values in the aggregated items, if so then wrap the data points with NVL function.

Cross Tab with Calculated Member Fails in BO Enterprise

Hello,
I have a report (Crystal Reports 2008) that I created using a cross tab, with a calculated member field. This report runs fine on my desktop, but fails when published to Crystal Enterprise (Server 2008).
When scheduled, the instance history states Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error
When I remove the calculated member from the cross tab, it runs fine.
Has anyone come across this and if so, how did you resolve it? I believe this is a brand new feature in Crystal Reports 2008 - is it not supposed within Enterprise?
Thank you for your assistance.

Root Cause: I had built my report in Crystal Reports 2008 on the latest Service Pack/Fix Packs (which addressed the issue of calculated member). My Crystal Reports SERVER 2008 was on a lower version.
I opened a message with SAP support and they were unable to tell me how to apply service packs to my Server. They then pretty much abandoned my question, so below is what I came up with on my own to fix the issue.
There are no specific service packs/ hot fixes for Crystal Reports SERVER 2008, so I had to:
1) install Crystal Reports V0 on my CRS 2008 machine
2)Install all Service Pack/Fix Packs available for Crystal Reports 2008 (even SP1, even though all SAP documentation tells you not to do this, it is required before you can install SP2)
3) Reboot Server
If you do the same thing as me, just a warning that installing the Crystal Reports SPs will break InfoView/CMC until you apply them all and re-boot.

Calculated members in cross tab

Hi all,
I have a profit and losses in a cross tab created by a group and I need to add some rows to have the totals.
For example
Revenue 1
Revenue 2
Revenue 3
Total Revenue
Cost 1
Cost 2
Total Costs
For total revenue I used a calculated members with that formula:
GridValueAt(GetRowPathIndexOf("Revenue 1"), CurrentColumnIndex, CurrentSummaryIndex)
+ GridValueAt(GetRowPathIndexOf("Revenue 2"), CurrentColumnIndex, CurrentSummaryIndex)
+ GridValueAt(GetRowPathIndexOf("Revenue 3"), CurrentColumnIndex, CurrentSummaryIndex)
but the problem is that if I haven't for example any data for revenue 2 an error occurs -->argument # 1of "gridvalueat" is out of range.
It's possible to check if the argument exist??
thanks

hi alessandro,
i just found your forum post in the unanswered list...hopefully you've already found the answer for this.
GetRowPathIndexOf is looking for the text in a specific cell and not the actuall Row or Column Name.
When it doesn't find it, its output is -1...so you can use that in your formula to ensure that it doesn't break.
for example, if you have a cross-tab that looks like
Canada        1006
USA             5555
Mexico         2331
GetRowPathIndexOf("Mexico") = 2 (as the index starts at 0 for Canada)
GetRowPathIndexOf("Brazil") = -1
hope this helps,
jamie

Format Fields in Cross Tab and Calculated Members

Hello:
I have a cross Tab with a calculated member, I need to display one decimal or no decimal in some of the columns so I created a formula in the Display String option like this:
if GridRowColumnValue ("@TestID_desc")= "ALK mg/L
then
Cstr(CurrentFieldValue, "0")
else
Cstr(CurrentFieldValue, "0.0")
But, after I saved the formula the value in the calculated member colums disappears. Any ideas? Thank You in advance!

right click on calculated field and go to format field and in number tab select customize button and write the condition for decimals.

I want to calculate Opng Balance for each CardName but it gives first Customers opning balance to all customers.
Give me solution.
Thanks in Advance

Hi
I think you can do calculation based on the formula .On the cross tab ,there is :
X -selection - row
Y - selection -column
Z - summary
You can also use formula on cross tab to do that function and insert into summary section .
Hope this helps .

Calculations based on Summarized data in Cross Tab

First off, I'm pretty experienced with Crystal.
I've run accross something that seems like it should be realy easy to do, and the sort of thing you would expect to do in a cross tab... so maybe I'm missing something totally obvious.
I'm doing a year over year comparison of some financial data broken down by month and by quarter.
So, my Rows are Quarter, and a field called 'YEARMONTH' (calculated field, YYYYMM, for ease of sorting)
My column is Year, and for summarized fields, I have the data field I'm interested in which is a float. Let's call it 'Dollars' for sake of argument.
What I want to do is create a summary field (next to the total field) called 'Difference' or 'Delta' that calculates for reach row the difference between my two years (2008, and 2009)
The only solution I can come up with is to dummy in a record from the datasource with a year value of 'Difference' and some other dummy values so that it will show up as a column on the cross tab, and then somehow use the currentrowcolum function or some such creature to mask the output in the column. but now that I type it out here, I'm not sure it's going to work. I also don't think it's going to export the way I want it to either.
I'd really prefer it to be in a cross tab, and not in some manually created cross-tab emulation using manual running totals, but I'll go there if I have to.
Thanks a ton!

This is what I did in my report to get the difference
my crosstab looks like this
                    2004     2005    Total
Total              T1         T2         T
USA               A          B          C
INDIA              X          Y          Z
right click on T1 and go to format field and write the suppress condition like this
numberVar d:=0;
currencyVar array arr1;
currencyVar array arr2;
numberVar e;
if GridRowColumnValue('year')=2004 then
(e:=e+1;
redim preserve arr1[e];
arr1[e]:=CurrentFieldValue)
else
(e:=e+1;
redim preserve arr2[e];
arr2[e]:=CurrentFieldValue);
false
right click on T and go to format field and write the Display string condition like this
currencyVar array arr1;
currencyVar array arr2;
totext(arr1[1]-arr2[1])
right click on A and go to format field and write the suppress condition like this
currencyVar array four;
currencyVar array five;
numberVar d;
if GridRowColumnValue('year')=2004 then
(d:=d+1;
redim preserve four[d];
four[d]:=CurrentFieldValue)
else
(d:=d+1;
redim preserve five[d];
five[d]:=CurrentFieldValue);
false
right click on C and go to format field and write the Display string condition like this
currencyVar array four;
currencyVar array five;
numberVar g;
g:=g+1;
ToText(four[g]-five[g])
Note: Please select the option "column totals on top" for crosstab in customize style
Hope this helps!

CR 2011 - calculated member in cross tab

Hello,
I have created a cross tab in my report and added a calculated member. I have created a formula for all my rows because by default the value of the calculated member was "0". Now I wanted to add a new row to my report. The value in the calculated member now is not "0" but empty. How can I access the formula workshop now?
Can anybody help?
Thanks and regards,

Formatting Calculated values in Cross Tab

I have a P & L Style cross tab where I have inserted calculated values to calcuate the key % values (Turnover, Overheads etc).
I have used the "Quotient" calculations & bet the correct data, but I would like to format the values to show as %> When I try to change these values, all the values show as %.
Is there any way to achieve what I need?
Thanks

Thanks for that, it would have been easier than the way I found, which was using the display string in the field formatting.
I might have another pass at it now.
Much appreciated

Inserting a calculated column after every column in cross tab, in crystal report 2011

HI,
I want to insert a calculated column after every column i a cross tab . The cross tab shows , sales by region for a number of years , for example from 2007 to 2013. The year can be changed based on the user parameter. How can I do that ?
Thanks

Hi Feroz,
To calculate the Percentage Change and also to show the Percentage sign, here's what you need to do:
1) Right-click the Calculated Column Header > Calculated Member > Edit ColumnValue Formula and use this code:
cdate(1890,01,01)
If the field used as the column is a datetime field, use this:
cdatetime(1890,01,01,0,0,0)
2) Right-click one of the zero values in the Percentage Column and select Calculated Member > Edit Calculation formula and use this code:
if CurrentColumnIndex = 2 then
    If GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-2, CurrentSummaryIndex) = 0 then
    0
    else
     (GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-1, CurrentSummaryIndex) - GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-2, CurrentSummaryIndex))/
     GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-2, CurrentSummaryIndex)
     ) * 100
else
    If GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-3, CurrentSummaryIndex) = 0 then
    0
    else
     (GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-1, CurrentSummaryIndex) - GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-3, CurrentSummaryIndex))/
     GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-3, CurrentSummaryIndex)
     ) * 100
3) Right-click one of the Values in the summary cells > Format Field > Number tab > Customize > Currency Symbol tab > Click the formula button beside 'Currency Symbol' and use this code:
If Year(GridRowColumnValue("Date_field")) = 1890 then
"%" else "$"
Note: Replace Date_field with the field name you've used as the Column in the Crosstab. The double-quotes ARE required and you should remove any curly braces that CR adds automatically.
4) You might want to use a similar code in the 'Position' formula too.
Let me know how this goes.

Cross Tab Column Header and Embedded or Calculated Member

Hello All
I am needing some help with a Cross Tab in CR2008.
My Cross Tab look as follows:
Rows______________Columns
......................................Fiscal Year
Account Number...........Summarized Field (Value Field)
The report spans three Fiscal Years but not all accounts have three Fiscal Years worth of data so some Cross tabs start 2009, 2008, 2007, Some report 2008 and 2007, Some just 2007 (and other variations). To get my cross tab working correctly I need to create a formula that get the CurrentColumnIndex based upon the Fiscal Year. e.g. If columnd header = 2009 column index = 0.
Can anyone advise how I would go about this?
Thanks
Phillip

Phillip, go to your data source, and see if you can add a new connection,
one of those options should be (Command)
if you can add a Command, then you can put the SQL in the command section.
You will need to add the Command as a data source, and remove the old
data source once the command is added, you will be able to edit it if needed.

Calculating values on cross-tab

CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Is it possible to calculate values in a cross-tab , for example , create a column3 = column1 + Column2 ?

Hi,
try to cerate a new calc :
nvl(status_cnt,0)
and create the totals on it,
I think you got nulls in that column so it wont aggregate properly.

Calculating a Number in a Cross-Tab

Not sure the best way to explain this one, but I was helped to create a cross-tab that used an array to calculate the number of incentives and summarize the result in a cross-tab. Now I'm looking to take this number and multiple it by another column in a table {UnitCost} to calculate the total value of the incentives used for the report.
The previous issue was here:
Problems with running totals
For instance, if the units costs are as follows:
Double Fandango = 10
Fandango = 5
Gift Card $10 = 10
Movie Ticket = 5
I would like to cross tab to look like the attached picture. Would this be possible?
The array formula is:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar d:= {OBI_EquipmentMaster.Description};
numbervar p:= {DriveProjectionAndCollectedTotals.ProcedureProjection};
numbervar pe:= {DriveProjectionAndCollectedTotals.ProceduresPerformed};
stringvar array ad;
numbervar array ap;
numbervar array ape;
numbervar c2:= 1;
numbervar n:=0;
// check to see if the description has been added to the string array
// if not, add it plus add the initial projection value to the number arrays
if not (d in ad) then
        numbervar c:= c + 1;
        redim preserve ad[c]; ad[c]:= d;
        redim preserve ap[c]; ap[c]:= p;
        redim preserve ape[c]; ape[c]:= pe;
else
// if the description is already in the array, find its position
// then add the new projection as a running total to the appropriate number array values
    while c2 <= count(ad) do
            if d = ad[c2] then (n := c2; exit while);
            c2 := c2 + 1
    ap[n]:= ap[n] + p;
    ape[n]:= ape[n] + pe;
// grand running totals
numbervar gp:= gp + p;
numbervar gpe:= gpe + pe;
I thought it would be a start creating a new number variable:
numbervar i:= {OBI_EquipmentMaster.UnitCost}
But I'm not sure I understand the rest of the formula nor how to insert a new column in the cross-tab. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks,

hi Trey,
since you're using the Display String in your first summary you need to assign the displayed value to a variable. i.e. change the Display String formula to
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar t:= GridRowColumnValue ("rpt_EquipmentMaster.Description");
stringvar array ad;
numbervar array ap;
numbervar c3:= 1;
numbervar n2;
while c3 <= count(ad) do
        if t = ad[c3] then (n2 := c3; exit while);
        c3 := c3 + 1
numbervar apn:= ap[n2];
totext(apn,0)
once that is done, you now have a variable (apn) that is available on the row level for your summaries.
once you've added the unit cost field as a Maximum type summary to your cross-tab as the second summary, right click on that summary and go to the display string for unit cost maximum. enter in this syntax:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar apn;
numbervar apnrt:= apnrt + apn*currentfieldvalue;
totext(currentfieldvalue * apn,0)
note that you're referencing the variable apn which is used in the output of the previous summary. also note that you're creating another running total named apnrt which runs in the background of the cross-tab. you'll need this running total for the grand total in the cross-tab.
now right click on the grand total for the maximum unit cost summary and go to the display string for this value. enter in this syntax.
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar apnrt;
totext(apnrt, 0)

Custom formula in cross-tab?

I have a cross-tab like this

   item 01     150    205      300 .......    550
   item 02       80    190      284 ........   620

   item 02       524    254      124 .........   924
I want to know if is possible to have a formula that take the value of each month and compare with the previous and make a calcule like this...
                  JAN    FEB    MAR ....... DEC (the 12 months as columns)
year 2006
   item 01     150    205      300 .......    550
   item 02       80    190      284 ........   620
year 2007
   item 01      458    235      224 .......... 781
                   (205)   (14)
   item 02      154    254      134.......... 254
year 2008
   item 01       245    154      544           1243
   item 02       524    254      124 .........   924
where (205) and   (14) are calculate from:
(205) = (150 - 458) * 100 / 150 I have to make this operation for each month takin the values from item 01 from 2006 with the values from item 01 from 2007 and so on
Edited by: j jara on Jul 22, 2008 2:01 AM

Yes it is possible.
It would be easier in CR2008 where you have the ability to add Calculated Members.
In previous versions you would need to create a variable for each year and using the GridRowColumnValue function assign the current value to a variable. You would then need to add a second summary field as a "dummy" summary and in the Display string formula declare the variables and manipulate the values as you like and finally convert the output to string.
