Can we Connect Crystal Report to Excel ?

Dear Sir,
I want to connect my crystal report to directly output to excel file.
is it possible to retrive ?
i wait for your warm reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Nishit Makadia

Hi Nishit,
Yes, you can connect to excel from crystal reports.   If you are using .xls (97-2003) work book then use below option.
--Create new connection --Expand Access/Excel(DAO) first option --Select Excel (.xls) in Database Name and select Database Type as 'Excel8'
Now click on next and will connect to your excel.
If you are using .xlsx format then you need to create a ODBC under control panel.
Try to use this ODBC while connecting to your excel from Crystal Reports.
Thanks,
Sastry

  • I need to create a dashboard.  How do you bring Crystal Reports into Excel?

    Hello,
    I need to create a dashboard.  My boss wants a spreadsheet to show multiple reports and charts about the business.  I know you can insert multiple charts in Excel.  However, I need to be able to insert a report next to one of the charts.
    I am thinking of using the RDC and bring in a Crystal Report.  The problem is that I see with Crystal Reports 2008, you can't use RDC.
    Is there an upgrade to RDC?  How do I bring the Crystal Report into Excel next to the imbeddged charts.  I know I can export a Crystal Report to Excel.  But that Exports to a entire spreadsheet.  I just want to embed a Crystal Report into Excel.  The last time I did a project like this, I used to use the RDC with the same code as in VB6.  Worked great.
    How do you embed a Crystal Reports now?
    Thanks.

    The question was how do you do it?
    I don't have .NET.  However, if that is the only way, then I can buy .NET.
    I just need someone that knows how to do it to point me in the right direction.  To embed something in Excel, I hadn't thought of using .NET.

  • Connecting Crystal Reports to SAP BW BEx query

    Post Author: mfrank
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    We have used Crystal Enterprise 8.5 to connect to an SAP BW BEx query in the past, however we are having some difficulties.  Rather than trying to upgrade our old CE system, I've been told that we should be able to connect Crystal Reports (2008?) directly to the BW BEx query.  I've been trying to accomplish this, but can't seem to find any drivers that will allow the connectivity.  When I try to set up a connection using OLAP, the only two options listed are Hyperion and Microsoft OLAP.  I have an old version of Brio Query (now Hyperion, now Oracle) that does show up with a driver for BW, but this doesn't show up in my Crystal options.
    Can someone give me some advice as to how to connect Crystal Reports to SAP BW?  I realize there are licensing issues with running live data without using Crystal Enterprise (or later BO products), but I'm just looking to print a report to a PDF.
    Thanks

  • Crystal Reports 2008 Excel Export Compatibility Patch - second attempt :)

    Hello, I actually have a question related to the following thread, so I posted there and was recommended to start a new thread:
    Crystal Reports 2008 Excel Export Compatibility Patch?
    Question is related to the following doc, specifically, is this patch still available for CR 2008 or not?:
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008V1/en/xi3_cr2008eecp_readme_en.pdf
    A response from Don suggested this wasnt available for CR 2008 although this is confusing since the doc refers to CR 2008. My response was as follows and is essentially the question I still have (more so because we have another PeopleSoft/Oracle customer whos come across this doc and wants to know how to apply the fix for CR 2008). Thanks very much in advance!
    Hi Don, I know this is an old thread, but Im also running into the same issue and am confused by your statement since the referenced PDF doc says this patch is available for CR 2008. Did you mean that the patch is no longer available or supported for CR 2008 for some reason? If so, any idea why?
    Im a developer for Oracle/PeopleSoft and our PeopleSoft suite includes OEM Crystal. We recently upgraded to CR 2008 for our latest release and we are getting the same complaint from a few customers about not being able to output the XLS in Excel 8.0 compatiibility mode like before (In Crystal 9, we used the \Export\Excel\CompatVersion=80 registry key to enable this). So if this patch is available, it would be a huge benefit for us to be able to point our customers to it. If not, please still let me know eitherway.
    Thanks very much!

    Hi Andrew,
    So the story is the Rubik's patch has been available from CR 9 up until CR XI R1 as a simple download. In R2 and above to get it you have to log a case, work with a Report Rep to try to design your reports so they use the new export dll. To get you by until you have time to do so, and after filling out a query for the PM to get info on how to possibly improve the updated export dll to meet your needs, he will then send you the patch on the agreement that this is the LAST time you ask for it.
    Support no longer has access to the patch so all requests must go through the Program Manager who keeps tract of who received it.
    Bottom line is you need to update the reports to use the new export model.
    That old legacy dll was bugging and impossible to maintain.
    You can [purchase a support case here|http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=54722300].
    This is not a bug and has been this way for 10 years now, time to update your export model and Excel Macro's....
    Thank you for your understanding

  • Connecting Crystal report with MySql

    Post Author: brajbhushan
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    hi all
            i m trying to connect crystal reports XI Release 2 to MySql 5.0 using ODBC.Problem is that after connecting it successfully it shows only few fields of our table in database when i see it in Database Expert of Crystal Reports. The second problem is that the fields don't have any data with them. Can anyone guide me is there any problem with Crystal Reports while connecting to MySql. Is there any Compatibilty Problem of DataType in Crystal Reports while using MySql.
    Thanks

    Moved to .NET SDK forums
    First issue is CR 10 has not been tested nor is it supported in VS 2010.
    To use CR in VS 2010 download [CR for VS 2010|Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Production Release Now Available;
    Likely what your problem is is you are not setting or replacing the database connection info but without more info I can't suggest how to fix it. It could also be that you have set your framework to 4.0, CR 10 is FW 1.1 or possibly 2.0 only.
    Or you may even be trying to use the craxddrt.dll which is again no longer supported not are you licensed to use it or distribute it.
    Also you'll likely run into version problems with IIS. I believe CR 10 only supported IIS 5 but check the platforms PDF for more info.
    Good luck.

  • Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c

    Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c.  I need assistance on connecting these together so I can run a report.  I am not an IT person so if someone could dumb it down it would be great.
    Thanks,
    NBGHealth

    Hello,
    I assume GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c is some sort of database or data source? If you have an ODBC driver then create or use a System DSN to the database. Then you can create a report using that DSN.
    Otherwise I suggest you contact the makers of GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c and ask them how to connect to the database.
    Let them know CR is ANSII 92 ODBC 3 compliant.
    Thank you

  • Connect Crystal Reports to MongoDB

    Hello
    I would like to know  if I could connect Crystal Reports to MongoDB (No SQL DataBase)...
    Thanks

    you'd need a driver that would allow crystal reports to connect crystal and other products to access the db. for example see here and see here. you would have to verify with that vendor though if this is possible to use their jdbc driver with any reporting tools such as cr. it does mention clikview and other products and there does seem to be a free trial there.

  • I can't find Crystal report on SAP 8.8 menu bar ?

    I am trying SAP 8.8 demo. Where is Crystal report on SAP 8.8 ? I can't find Crystal report on SAP 8.8 menu bar ? anybody told me location of crystal report on menu bar ?

    Hi,
    There is no option anywhere in SBO8.8 as "Crystal report" if you want to use it go to windows start ->program files->SAP Business One you can see there Crystal Report 2008 menu. Once you designed your report in Crystal then you can import it in SBO 8.8 through "Report and Layout Manager" in Administration -> Setup -> General. You can not open Crystal directly from SBO.
    Thanks
