Calculation fields(column) In crystal report

Hi Experts
I have created a new report gainst A/R Invoice. Which contains DocNum, Docdate Card Name, DocTotal and Paidsum. Now I want derive balance and I want to put condtion formatting for those balance columns.
Can anyone help me How to calculate Doctotal-Paidsum to Balance column and to highlight the balance column which is more than sixty days amounts.
Waiting for ur replies.

you need to create a formula field to do this and then just drag and drop it into the report like any other column.
formula should be along these lines
{OINV.DocTotal}-{OINV.Paidsum}
as for the highlighting, just go to the designer, right click on the field you want to highlight and go to highlighting expert and follow the wizard from there to create a condition of when highlighting should occur. if your field is not available in the "Value Of" just build the field yourself as a Formula field and you will then be able to select that from the "Value Of" list.
hope it helps...

How to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal Reports

I want to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal reports.

Hi,
Use DistinctCount keyword directly for your calculation instead of count(distinct(....
Alternatively, if you want to avoid duplicate records, under "File" > "Report Options" make the 'Select Distinct Records' as True.

Hiding a data field in SAP Crystal Reports 2011

Hello,
I am new to SAP Crystal Reports 2011 (Crystal Reports).
Does any one know how to hide a Special Field in a Crystal Report?
Specifically, I am trying to hide the Special Field, 'Record Number' from displaying on my report.
I need the Special Field, 'Record Number' to know how many records was printed on my report
in order to limit the amount of records printed while I am testing this new report.
Thanks for the help!
Tony

Hi Tony,
Yes to hide specific field, follow abhilash suggestion..
1. Limit the number of records displayed on your report like that:
section expert -> particular your report section -> click on suppress -> write below formula
RecordNumber > Limited number of records count..
2. limit the number of records per page on your report follow below link:

Hiding the Selected field in the Crystal reports 2011

Hi Experts,
I am new to the Crystal reports. How to hide the Selected Field in the Crystal report 2011.
Thanks,
Kavya.C

Hi Kavya,
You can right click on the field, go to Format Field -> Common Tab. Select/Check the option "Suppress". Or if you want to hide/ Suppress the entire section in a Crystal Report, for e.g. Detail section, right click on Details Section and select Section expert. You can select Hide/Supress accordinly.
That should hide the filed/Section when you run the report.

Refer to a Form Field in a Crystal Report

Hello!
For a customer I need to set up a Layout in Crystal Reports for Asset History Sheet in Fixes Assets.
Depending on the Depreceation Area (IFRS, HGB) the (printed) report contains different data, I need to filter the data in the Asset History Form that is shown on the screen in different ways.
I have to make sure that no HGB report can be printed with IFRS numbers (and vice versa).
The information about the Depreceation Area is written in a field in the Asset History Form on the screen, it is not stored in any table.
Is it possible to check the content of this field in my Report?
Thanks and best regards
Peter Ganserer

Hi Peter,
If the Form Field is a direct field from table, you can add the field from table. However, if it is a calculated field, you may not have option to put it into Crystal Report.
Thanks,

Hi:
   I'm not a expert in crystal report, but I would like help you, i don't understand if must to show 50 diferrents fields in your report or same field through 50 columns ? for exemple:
first case: You ned diferents fields
F1                F2                 F3                 ... F50
item1 F1      Item1 F2         Item1 F3       Item F50
item2 F1      Ite21 F2         Item2 F3       Item F50
In this case you must put the 50 fields in the report, just enough small to fit page
second case: You nedd the same field in 50 columns
Colum 1      Colum2      Column 50
item 0          item 11      item 490

Field Explorer in Crystal Reports does not show the same names as Bex Query

Hi
I have crystal reports, I can retrieve data from BW Bex Query. But in the field explorer it does not show the names as in the Bex query designer.
In the Bex query designer a field will have the following technical name 0Debitor and the description is Customer.
It shows in crystal reports in the field explorer twice as D[0DEBITOR]D and D[0DEBITOR]D. It also does not seperate key figures and characteristics.
I would like it to display the field explorer as shown in this blog.
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
Thanks in advance

Hi,
take a look here:
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
make sure you are using the MDX Driver and what happens is that you will see several fields per characteristic. example: one for the key, one for the description, several if modelled for the display attributes

Field width in Crystal Reports 10 Standard Edition

I have a text field in an Access table of 50 chars. When I place that field on a report the default width in design view is less than 50, showing a given number of "X"s. I widen the field beyond the "X"s but still the full content of the field is not displayed in preview mode. For instance I have loaded the field with 50 chars and the 50 chars are not displayed in preview. Is there a way to tell Crystal Reports to default the width of the field in design view to the length of the field in Access? I am a former DOS programmer, where we would specify in the code the width of the display in a form or report. I have always been bothered by the GUI interface because the design interface does not default to the field width and therefore data can be hidden. Professionally, I missed the switch from the DOS interface to the GUI interface. This issue with field layout has always troubled me. Also in the Dummies book (and in CR Help) there is a statement to the effect that CR 10 "automatically adjusts the fields displayed to match the field sizes you chose, and spaces them out proportionally". I see no indication of this. Thanks.

Just to clarify, if I widen the field quite a bit, way beyond the "X"s I do eventually see the 50 chars in preview mode. But for some reason CR puts down 40 "X"s for a field of length 50. And then I have to just play around with the width until I can see the 50 chars on the report. Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting that needs to be adjusted? I guess I am hoping to see the number of "X"s be equal to the length of the text string.
I did learn about "can grow". When I connect to Excel CR puts down 40 "X"s and I have to fudge with the width until I see the full 50 chars.
With the GUI interface is the developer thinking more in terms of inches vs. number of characters? Like I said I am a dinosaur and I struggle with detail.

Get the parameter fields defined in crystal report

I am porting my application from crystal 8.5 written in C++ to crystal 2008 in .net.
Here I am not making use of crystal report viewer neither I am creating .rpt in .net code.
I have a set of already created .rpt files.
I have written a function in .net to export the crystal report.
Its a generic function and will be called for multiple crystal reports.
I am passing the parameter values to the report by making use of the following function :
     ReportDocument repDoc;
     repDoc.SetParameterValue(APPTYPE, strNextToken[0]);
     repDoc.SetParameterValue(COMPORROLETYPE, strNextToken[1]);
Similarly I are setting other parameter values.
The problem here is that, all the reports do not have parameter fields defined that I am trying to set.
They may be present for one report and absent for another. In this case , if the report does not have a particular parameter
field, then it gives error on setting parameters and subsequently fails.
Now I want to find out through code what all parameter fields are defined in the report. Then I will only set those
parameter fields?
Please guide how can this be done.
Thanks
Sonam

Not as trivial as you might think. You will have to loop through all the sections of the report looking for the objects you need. I don't have a code specific to parameters, but looping through al the sections would be something like the code below. But... this will only show you parameters in a section. It will not show you parameters used in a formula, record selection formula, group selection formula, text field or a conditional formula. In order to get those parameters, you's have to parse out each of those objects looking for parameters. And this is probably not an exhaustive list of places to look for a parameter in the report. I get a headache just thinking about this...
Dim crSections As Sections
Dim crSection As Section
Dim crSubreportObject As SubreportObject
'set the crSections object to the current report's sections
crSections = crReportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections
'loop through all the sections to find all the report objects
For Each crSection In crSections
crReportObjects = crSection.ReportObjects
'loop through all the report objects to find all the subreports
For Each crReportObject In crReportObjects
If crReportObject.Kind = ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject Then
'you will need to typecast the reportobject to a subreport
'object once you find it (***you'd go to setting the parameter here - or not...)
crSubreportObject = CType(crReportObject, SubreportObject)
'open the subreport object
crSubreportDocument = crSubreportObject.OpenSubreport(crSubreportObject.SubreportName)
'set the database and tables objects to work with the subreport

Opening HyperLinked Files contained in a database field Automatically alongwith Crystal Report

Hi
I am using Crystal Report 2008. We have a database table which has Bill of Material for all the parts, the table also has additional field which contains LINK to PDF File (i.e. c:\PDFFiles\XPart.PDF) which is containing Part specifications. Now i am able to create a Hyperlink from this field and user is able to click on the field to open the file.
Is there a way, that all the associated linked files open automatically whenever a user previews this report.Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Shekhar

You can achieve the desired behavior by adding a UFL (User unction library) that includes a function for triggering and passing parameters ot a different process.
At least one of the 3rd-party UFLs listed at Crystal Reports viewer comparison, Crystal Reports scheduler comparison and other utilities ( viewer and scheduler compa… provides such a function.
You would then be able to add Crystal formulas that result in opening linked documents as a byproduct of previewing the report.

Hi Suresh,

Display Dynamic Columns in Crystal Report

Hello,
We are currently using Crystal Reports XI and connecting to an ADO .NET XML file as our data source. In this data souce we have a data table called IDENTIFIERS where every column, except for the ones used for joining tables is dynamic. These column will be different for each database thats its run against.
Is there any way to display these dynamic columns without having consistent column names?
You help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Thanks Carl,
We do have control over the data table and a solution like this had crossed my mind. But this might not be practical for other reports that use this data table.
I think another solution would be to create a new data tabl that has all identifiers on their own row as opposed to columns.
id
dentifier
identifier_name

Localization of CrossTab row and column label Crystal Report RPT file

Dear all,
Does anyone know how to support multiple locale texts (English and French) in CrossTab Row and Column Header labels and grand total labels? Is there a way to parameterize text objects CrossTab in one single Crystal Report RPT file to use some sort of locale resource file containing text string for different languages based on the users of RPT at runtime? The idea is to use one single RPT file to generate report for different locale text for CrossTab Row and Column abels and grand total labels instead of creating RPT files per locale?

Hi,
Does the database have a column that identifies the language? If it does, then you could create two separate cross-tabs and place them in different sections and conditionally suppress the section depending on the language from the database.
That's the only thing that can be done in my opinion.

Is there an option or formula through which i can achieve this???
Please Help,
Thanks and Regards,

What I tweeted was the "Idea". not a solution. E.g.; The SAP Idea Place is a portal where anyone can cerate a suggestion or an idea that they feel should be looked at by Program Managers in order to enhance a product functionality.If you want this idea implement, vote it up here:

The more votes, the more pressure (theoretically) on the PMs to implement it.

Use calculated field(s) in other report

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to use a calculated field by itself in another report? I don't want to insert a sub report because it takes up too much space.
I just need to use few fields in other calculations in the new report.
Thank you

The only way I can think of doing this without subreports is to save the values in a database somewhere. In order to do this, the values would have to be calculated in the report's SQL Command data source. (I'm guessin' that's probably not what you're looking for, but using subreports is the only other way I can think of...)
