Conditional format in cross tab

Post Author: RobotSlave
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hello All
Crystal 2008 12.0.0.549
I have a crosstab report in that repeats in each GF1 that displays values for several variables over an eleven month span, for instance a shortened data set might look like this:
                       FEB     MAR      APR       MAY ....
Claims             1233     876         666         888 ....
sold                 987       987         7 7         8 888 ...
etc...
I want to display conditional formatting such that if a value in the claims row is over 800, make the font RED for that column only. When I use a conditional formatting formula in the format editor font dialog, it makes the whole row red, when the values clearly do not all meet the required "800". I have experimented with making certain my value is a number and not a string, and I'm stymied. Does anyone have any input?

use formula field. Write your condition in that formula field and in select the display string option of the column in the report.Make the display string output as the output of formula field.for eg. @formula -
Formula Field if e>800 then conditionelse condition; Number -
column in field. Display string option (at the bottom of the field format object --general tab) map the output of the formula field

Conditional Format in Cross-Tabs

Hello,
i have a problem with conditional formatting in cross-tabs(Word-Template-Builder)
My Cross-Tab looks like:
+++++++++++++++++++ColumnHeader1
+++++++++++++++++++ColumnHeader2
+++++++++++++++++++ColumnHeader3
RowHeader 1 | Row Header 2 | Data
First Problem: If "Row Header 2" has a certain value, the whole row should have a different background-color or borderthickness should be different
-i tryed it at "Row Header 2" with +<?if@row:...?><?attribute@incontext:background-color;'lightgrey'?><?end if?>+ but this will only effect the background-color of "RowHeader 1" and outside of the cross-tab. Formatting font-style works fine with this solution.
Second Problem: Similar to first problem. If "ColumnHeader3" has a certain value, the whole column should have a different background-color or borderthickness.
-i tryed it at "Column Header 3" with +<?if:...?><?attribute@block:background-color;'lightgray'?><?end if?>+ but this will only effect the background-color of "ColumnHeader 3".
In case i have to do the conditional formatting at cell ("Data"), how can i address the fields "columnHeader3"/"RowHeader 2" in the if-clause?
Thanking you in anticipation.

drop me mail to MY id in Profile Location, with template and xml.
i can help.

Conditional Formating Issue - Cross Tab

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a cross tab with some conditional formating of background colour..
eg
i have a background formula of:
if {@concat} like "*1" then crGreen else
if {@concat} like "*2" then crYellow else
if {@concat} like "*3" then crRed
my cross tab looks like:
                         Subject
Name           {max of concat}
But when previewed its not displaying colours correctly eg:
                          Art        English       Maths
Joe Blogs           ??1           ??2           ??3
Art result should be highlighted GREEN
English result should be highlighted YELLOW
Maths result should be highlighted RED
Instead every subject result is GREEN? Has anyone seen this before? Have any ideas to resolve ?
Thanks Again,
Slash

ABSOLUTE GENIUS. Works like a charm!!
Many Thanks,

Help with formatting for Cross Tab Report Crystal 2008

This is probably a simple question. I have a cross tab report that displays sales by month for a period of 6 months. These sales columns are formatted to be numbers with no decimals. In addition to these columns, I have inserted columns that display the percentage up/down in sales over the previous month. If I try to format the percentage columns, it changes every column to then display "##,##.##%" when I need to keep the sales columns at "##,###" with no decimal or percentage sign.
1. Is there a way to change the formatting of some of the columns but not all in a cross tab report?
2. If not, can I add a function that would change these in the calculation formula of the calculated member?
I tried to add "%" but it wants it to return a number.
Here is the current code:
//The calculation formula is used in place of the summaries in Calculated Members.
// This calculation formula must return a/an Number value.
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
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Tobi

Carl,
Thank you for your help. I did try your method but still couldn't get it to ignore the fact that it wanted a number. I changed my approach a litte and managed to solve the problem. Here is the method that I chose which managed to solve the problem. If this is a poor way to solve it, please let me know as I am always open for new ways.
Format Field > Number Tab > Customize > Currency Symbol Tab
Checked Enable Currency Symbol Fixed, changed currency symbol to %. This is the same thing that I did before which changes it for all columns.
Beside Enable Currency checkbox, I added this formula:
// This conditional formatting formula must return one of the following Currency Symbol Constants:
// crNoCurrencySymbol
// crFixedCurrencySymbol
// crFloatingCurrencySymbol
If GridRowColumnValue("InvoiceLine.TxnDate") = Date(0,0,0) then
crFixedCurrencySymbol
else
crNoCurrencySymbol
My added columns have a null date field so they take the currency format. My other columns do not so they do not take the formatting.
Thanks again for the help.
Tobi

Conditional highlighting on cross-tabs

Does anyone know if it is possible to conditionally highlight a field in cross-tab based on another field in the table? The field we're using to condition is not in the cross-tab, nor do we want it to be in the cross-tab. We need to highlight a report field based on another field from each record reported. Highlight expert won't let you highlight the field unless the field is in the cross-tab.

yes it is possible
Select the field from Cross Tab which you want to Highlight Right Click Select the Format Field
Select the Font TabÂ
Select the formula button next to color
Then enter the formula
IF field not in cross tab = somevalue then
mention the ColorÂ Code which you want....
Thanks

Data Format in Cross Tab and Parameter window about numeric and date

Hello,
I got a problem to show Year 2008 as 2,008.00, it's rediculous...
My PC and Notebook both show "2008", but my three co-workers' PCs all show "2,008.00"
the group field is: CStr(Year({SJ_Inv;1.TaxDate}))+ ' Sales Analysis'
How to convert such a numeric into text without decimal? CStr looks not workable.
also,
the numeric var in parameter window, sometimes I don't want it to show up comma and decimal, how to format it?
And, the datetime var in parameter window from store procedure, can it be a "Date" without Time for user to entry only?
I will be very appreciate for your helping.
~Michelle

Hi, Raghavendra,
The reason to use stored procedure is to save server room -- limited data for output; this is why we declare variable in Store procedure, and got problem there -- datetime but not date.
On the other hand, if we declare variable in Crystal report, it's allowed date type, but how to defaut the Date-from as 1st day of current month, and Date-to as Today in Crystal Report parameter setup ?? And then how to pass the parameter to store procedure to limit the data output volume?
(I am also trying to get this done in Store procedure right now..)
The pros and cons exist in Store procedure and Crystal report, which is better is not definite!
Best regards,

I'm using CRXI Rel2

You can do that in single table itself , as one of our friend mentioned above, still you want to do it in multiple table.
You can change the line spacing from single line spacing between the table to exact and can give 1pt
try this. otherwise
send me your xml data and template to,

Cross tab formatting issue

Post Author: forumguy
CA Forum: General
Hi Guys,
I am using crystal 10. The cross tab is in the group.
It was giving me a blank page in the middle of the report. So, unchecked the "Keep together" in the section expert in the group. And the Blank page was gone. But now with "Keep together option" unchecked, it gives error " Error formatting the cross tab" after one particular page.
Is there any other way to remove that blank page ?
Appreciate ur comments.
Thanks

Create a manual crosstab report

Cross Tab Size and Formatting

Good Day To All,
I have 3 Cross tab that fit perfectly on one page, but when it was created the user used an incorrect field as its columns.
When I change the column field to the correct field the Cross-Tab increases in size shifting the last cross tab to another page.
How can I keep the original size. I've tried To lock position and size but that does not work. I also tried using format painter but that only works on fonts size. I am unable to re-size the cross tab in design mode. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
David

hi David,
unfortunately there are no properties in a cross-tab to keep it the same overall width if the number of column instances changes. the Size and Position dialogues for Width and Horizontal Position (X) also do not apply to cross-tabs.
the only thing that you can do is to decrease the width of the column cell and if the output no longer fits in the width of the cell then you'll also need to decrease the font size.
there is another workaround by limiting the number of records returned to a group. please see my blog post here in particular the section "Formatting a Cross-tab to Have N Rows & M Columns". this is not an easy task either as the data coming in must be a precise match for the number of rows X the number columns that are required. this is explained further in the blog.

Cross tab in Crystal report

Hi There
I need to create 3 cross tabs in one crystal report with different condition, how i can do that?
for example, in one cross tab, i only want to show last year's information, in another one, i want to show this year's information
is there a way i can add some condition with the cross tab?
thanks

I think what Ian means is....
Right now you have you cross tab set this way..
                       2008         2009
Location1
Location2
Location3
He wants you to switch rows to cloumns and make the Year your first Group.
Then you'll have
                 Location1       Location2          Location3
2008
2009
This way all your locations show up in your cross-tab.
Hope this makes sense....

Help with Cross-tab

Hello everyone...
Here is some quick background info on my project:
1) I am attempting to write a Crystal Report (version 10) to automatically capture crime statistics for a previous time period based on a current time period entered into the Crystal Report parameter. The current date range to automatically be captured is the previous seven weeks. For example, if a user enters the date range of June 15, 2008 - August 2, 2008, the Crystal Report will automatically gather data for the two date ranges of April 27, 2008 - June 14, 2008 (the previous date range) and June 15, 2008 - August 2, 2008 (the current date range). The purpose of this is to automatically gather crime statistics for two equal date ranges to compare crime rates.
2) I have been able to successfully construct a formula to gather the previous date range.
3) I have constructed a cross-tab but I am having difficulties formatting the cross-tab to display data as I desire.
With the background of my project now described I will move into the main problem I am experiencing. I am able to display the data for all the necessary weeks in the cross-tab; using the same date range above I am able to show data for the fourteen weeks of April 27, 2008 - August 2, 2008. However, I wish to have a single cross-tab display the grand totals for just the previous date range while having weekly totals and a grand total for the current date range.
Using the same date ranges above as an example, the date range of April 27, 2008 - June 14, 2008 will show just the grand totals for all seven weeks of that period. Conversely, I would like to have the date range of June 15, 2008 - August 2, 2008 show weekly totals as well as grand totals for all seven weeks of that period.
I would like to keep all this data in a single cross-tab due to having to put the data in another crime analysis report.
Any help you can provide is most appreciated...let me know if I can provide further info. Just so you know I am a bit of a beginner when it comes to Crystal Reports.

Hello, you might try this:
1) Create a formula field in your details section with this:
Whileprintingrecords;
If (table.date >= "start date of your pre-date range" and
table.date <= "end date of your pre-date range") then 'Pre-Date'
else
if (table.date >= "your 1st week start" and table.date <= "your 1st week end") then 'Week 1'
else (if table.date >= "your 2nd week start" and table.date <= "your 2nd week end") then 'Week 2'
else .... for the 7 weeks you want a separate column.
2) create the cross-tab and put the formula field as the column.
3) I believe if you right-click on the total field to the far right and "Format Field" you can use the "Display String" option to delete the sum of the previous week's from the CurrentFieldValue and use the TOTEXT() function to display it. This will only display the sum of your current 7 weeks.
You may want to go change the "Group Options" for the column to Sort in "Specified Order" and create named groups for each of your column headings. I can explain how you would do this if you need it.
