Conditional Formatting with multiple characteristics in report designer

Hi,
I'm trying to build a report with images in conditional formatting for two characteristics (=columns). Each of which can have one of the following three status values:
1 - green
2 - yellow
3 - red
For each status value i want to show a different image (traffic light). It works fine with only one characteristic. The conditional formatting creates three details rows in the row pattern (one for each status value) and depending on the status value the corresponding details row with the traffic light is shown.
But if there is more than one characteristic with conditional formatting in the report it only works with a different row for each characteristic value, as the two characteristics belong to different group levels of the row pattern. That means I finally have 2 rows showing the two status values.
To show them all in one row, which is the goal, I have put all the conditional formatting definitions (6=3 for each characteristic) into the detail rows of the row pattern.
But then for one characteristic incorrect images are shown, e.g. although the status value is red, a green traffic light is displayed, because the status value of the other characteristic is green.
Obviously the conditional formatting only works with the characteristic, for which the details rows in the row pattern have been created.
Any ideas how I can manage to show all the conditional images in one row?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sven

Sven,
your scenario is not supported yet.
Right now, a conditional format is based on one condition.
In the future it is planned to allow more conditions to be applied to the rowpattern, using "AND, OR" operators.
The availability of the feature will be announced via the BI Functional Enhancement List (see BIFAQ)

Format with Multiple columns

Hi Crystal gurus.
I'm having the report which consist of more that 500 rows , so therefore I decided to implement "Format with multiple rows" feature, which is available in Section Expert area. Everything is just fine, I'm getting multiple columns, but how to suppress the header which is not needed for the last page, because the records are only in the first column.
I can easily copy/paste the header as such, but I do not know how to suppress it. Tried to search here, but found nothing.
Many thanks in advance Mcmerphy

If it truely is the last page of the report, you could try a conditional suppression where pagenumber = totalpagecount. But this would always suppress the header selected for suppression, and if you should get another column on the last page, it will still suppress.

I am working a report that has had the details section format with multiple columns selected. I want to change the report and remove the check box, but it is grayed out. How can I get the report details section back to default without the detail size constraints?

Bearing in mind that I'm a relative newbie to the report writing/Crystal world...the only thing I can think of is that maybe the report was written using an older version of Crystal and this option wasn't available. Another possibility, if it's a sub-report, you might try making a copy of the sub-report saving it with the same name, deleting the old sub-report, replacing it with the copy you made. I know that has worked for me when I've had problems with the re-import when opening is greyed out.

Repeat "Detail a" section when using "Format with Multiple Columns" layout

I am using Crystal Reports for .NET (VS 2008) and I would like to get the "Detail a" section to repeat at top of a second column containing additional data in "Detail b" section. Please see below for example, specifically "Detail a (2)". Any tips or help much appreciated.
Detail a (1)_____Detail a (2)
Detail b (1-1)___Detail b (2-3)
Detail b (1-2)___Detail b (2-4)
--Detail b (1-3)___Detail a (3)
Detail a (2)______--Detail b (3-1)
--Detail b (2-1)
--Detail b (2-2)
Thx, Scott

the format with multiple columns i dont believe will show you the value 2x, but allows you to display the values across instead of down.
i think you may want to use a sub report

Conditional format with large data fails and show error as "Selection is too large" in Excel 2007

I am facing a issue in paste special operation using conditional formats for large data in Excel 2007
I have uploaded a file at below given location.
http://sdrv.ms/1fYC9qE
The file contains two sheets, Sheet "Data" contains the data on which formats are to be applied and sheet "FormatTables" contains the format tables which contains conditional formating.
There are two table in "FormatTables" sheet. Both have some conditional formats applied on it.
Case 1:
1. Select the table range of Table1 i.e $A$2:$AV$2
2. Copy it
3. Goto Sheet "Data"
4. Select data area i.e $A$1:$AV$20664
5. Perform a paste special operation on full range and select "Formats" option while performing paste special.
Result:
It throws error as "Selection is too large"
Case 2:
1. Select the table range of Table2 i.e $A$5:$AV$5
2. Copy it
3. Goto Sheet "Data"
4. Select data area i.e $A$1:$AV$20664
5. Perform a paste special operation on full range and select "Formats" option while performing paste special.
Result:
Formats get applied successfully.
Both are the same format tables with same no of column and applied to same data range($A$1:$AV$20664) where one of the case works and another fails.
The only diffrence is Table1 has appliesTo range($A$2:$T$2) as partial of total table range($A$2:$AV$2) whereas the Table2 has appliesTo range($A$5:$AV$5) same as of its total table range($A$5:$AV$5)
NOTE : This issue is only in Excel 2007

Excel 2007 No Supporting formating to take a formatting form another if source table has more then 16000 rows and if you want to do that in more then it then you have ot inset 1 more row in your format table to have 3 rows
like: A1:AV3
then try to copy that formating and apply
Solution Case 1:
1.Select the table range of Table1 i.e AV21 and drage it down to one row down
2. Select the table range of Table1 i.e $A$2:$AV$3
3. Copy it
4. Goto Sheet "Data"
5. Select data area i.e $A$1:$AV$20664
6. Perform a paste special operation on full range and select "Formats" option while performing paste special

Excel 2013 - conditional format with dates

Hi
I have a workbook that logs courses people have been on and I type in the date the qualification needs to be renewed. I would like that cell to change colour when it is so many days before the renewal date using the =today() function.
pale yellow - 60 days before renewal date
orange - 30 days before renewal date
red - expired, i.e. today's date is after the renewal date
I have an idea how to do it but I can't seem to get it working exactly the way I want it to.
Thanks.
Viv

Select the cell or cells. I will assume in the following that A2 is the active cell within the selection.
On the Home tab of the ribbon, click Conditional Formatting > New Rule...
Select 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format'.
Enter the formula
=AND(A2<>"",A2<TODAY()+60)
Click Format...
Activate the Fill tab.
Click More Colors...
Select pale yellow.
Click OK three times.
Repeat the above steps, but with the formula
=AND(A2<>"",A2<TODAY()+30)
and with orange.
Finally, repeat them again, but with the formula
=AND(A2<>"",A2<TODAY())
and with red.

Copy/paste style doesn't work for conditional formatting with cell refs

I created a conditional format on a cell (B3) that compares its value to the value of a cell above it (B2).
If I 'Copy Style' and paste that style into the cell beside it (C3), the conditional formatting still refers to B2. If I want to do this for a whole row of cells then I have to manually edit the cell reference in the conditional formatting for each cell.
Anyone else seen this behaviour? It makes me think of going back to Excel.

Don't know if you'd consider this a 'workaround' or simply a way to do what the OP asks with as little fuss as possible.
I created a conditional format on a cell (B3) that compares its value to the value of a cell above it (B2).
If I 'Copy Style' and paste that style into the cell beside it (C3), the conditional formatting still refers to B2...
The desire is to have each cell in row 3 formatted depending on a comparison with the cell directly above it. If each comparison is the same (eg, Equal to), and the 'true' action for each is the same (eg. Fill with yellow), the following will save some effort:
Select the whole row, B3:G3 (or further).
Set the conditional format rule to
Equal to | B2
And the action for Fill yellow.
Click Done.
With the conditional formatting dialogue still open, select C3. You may also want to move the dialogue window up to just below row 3.
Repeat these three steps:
Click on the B2 reference in the dialogue.
Click on cell C2 in the table.
Press the right arrow to move the selection to D3.
Click on the B2 reference in the dialogue.
Click on cell D2 in the table.
Press the right arrow to move the selection to E3.
etc.

IO settlement with multiple characteristics

Hi All,
I have a requirement that discount amount will be captured in FI books along with IO. Now i want to settle this IO to PA segment with multiple customers, Material codes, DIVision, D.c etc..
Ex:Discount amount:10,000 and IO NO:AAAA-FI
Need COPA: Rs1000-Customer 1, Divsion 10, DC: 10 Material code:X1 (Amount Segregation manually)
                    Rs 2000 Customer2, division 20 DC: 10 Material code X2
                    Rs 4000 Customer 3, division 30 Dc: 20 material code: x3
                    Rs 3000 Customer 4, Division 40, DC:30 Material code:x4
How to make settlement rule and settlement will be done on reguular basis... plz suggest

Hi,
You have multiple options
1. Option 1: - Create 4 settlement rules with PSG as the Receiver and maintain the respective chars in each Der rule
Limitation: Useful if you want to settle each month to teh same set of Chars
2. Option 2:- Settle the IO to a CC and allocate from CC to COPA using KEU5 (Assessmen cycle)
Benefit: You can specify a range of receivers in the assessment cycle and you can allocate based on Sales Revenue / Sales Qty etc
This is more flexible than option 1
3. Option 3 - Settle the IO to one PSG in COPA and do Top Down Distribution from there
Limitation: Not so use friendly and bit complex
My suggestion go with 1 or 2, depending on business case

Issue with Multiple Tables in Report

Post Author: dwessell
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I'm using Crystal Reports 2k8.
I'm doing a report with three tables, CQ_HEADER, SO_HEADER and SALESPERSON. Both the CQ_HEADER and the SO_HEADER tables link to the SALESPERSON table via a SPN_AUTO_KEY field.
However, I always receive duplicates in my result set, due to the joins made, and I don't receive results that are valid in one table, and empty in another (Such that it only counts a CQ, if there is a SO associated with it. Here's the query that's produced by CR.
SELECT "CQ_HEADER"."CQ_NUMBER", "CQ_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE", "CQ_HEADER"."TOTAL_PRICE", "SALESPERSON"."SALESPERSON_NAME", "SO_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE", "SO_HEADER"."TOTAL_PRICE"
FROM "CQ_HEADER" "CQ_HEADER" INNER JOIN ("SO_HEADER" "SO_HEADER" INNER JOIN "SALESPERSON" "SALESPERSON" ON "SO_HEADER"."SPN_AUTO_KEY"="SALESPERSON"."SPN_AUTO_KEY") ON "CQ_HEADER"."SPN_AUTO_KEY"="SALESPERSON"."SPN_AUTO_KEY"
WHERE ("CQ_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE">={ts '2007-12-01 00:00:00'} AND "CQ_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE"<{ts '2007-12-18 00:00:00'}) AND ("SO_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE">={ts '2007-12-01 00:00:00'} AND "SO_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE"<{ts '2007-12-18 00:00:00'})
ORDER BY "SALESPERSON"."SALESPERSON_NAME"
There is no link between the SO_HEADER and the CQ_HEADER. Can anyone make a suggestion as to how I could go about structuring this such that it doesn't return duplicate values?
Thanks
David

Hey,
I understand you used Retainsameconnection property true for all the OLEDB connections you used in the package if not make sure its for all the connection including file connection as well.
Additionally, you can try to set Delayvalidation property to true for all the dataflows and control flows in the connection and try running the package for 10MB file.
I hope this will fix the intermittent failure issue you are facing with SSIS.

Help with multiple date percentage report

Dear all,
I am having problems with getting percentage right on my report which is set to YTD however I am counting records for Last 5 days, Last 4 weeks and Current Date.
I am getting the records perfectly right as I have created 3 different Groups for them. The Running Totals are counting the correct number of records.
As I have two Running totals for each job (Credit Job + Free of Charge Job), these two jobs are getting added up in the report.
For example
YTD formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
Last 5 Days formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
Last 4 Weeks formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
Current Date formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
To get the grand total of these records, I have created another formula which counts all the above YTD records, L5D records and displays them in the report footer. Grand Total is showing up correctly.
Now, What I want is the percentage of each record, i.e. the percentage of YTD records, L5D records etc.
I have created a formula which counts the percentage but incorrectly.
Here is the formula
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar b:=0;
numbervar n:=0;
numbervar m:=0;
b:={@TotalJobsFOCRL5D}; // this is total job, (Credit+Free of charge jobs)
n:={@TotalJobsFOCRL5DGT}; //GT is the grand total showing in report footer
If b=0 then 0 else //if total jobs = 0 then answer is 0
m:=(b/n)*100; // divide total jobs with grand total
totext(m,2)+"%"; //show as percentage
This formula does show the percentage but divides each job by itself. So if Total Jobs = 9 then it shows 100% whereas Grand Total is 479.
Could someone please help me getting the correct percentage.
The percentage formula is placed on the respective group footer.
Regards
Jehanzeb

Purchase order release strategy with multiple characteristics

Hi All,
We have Purchase order release strategy based on the following characteristics:
Total Net Order Value
Purchasing Organization
Release strategy Type
a few other custom fields
We would like to have PO's with release strategy based on a particular Material Group [say X]. I have created a new Characteristic with respect to CEKKO-MATKL and added this characteristic to the same class.
I have created a new release code [HR] [we need a different person to sign off] and a new release strategy [TR] for which I have assigned the release code HR. In this release strategy, I have set it to get activated for a particular Material Group that does seem to work, but the remaining PO's are not getting triggered for other material groups. For other release strategies, I have left the material group field blank, because they need to be triggered for any material groups except X.
Could you please let me know if I am missing something or is there an alternate approach to this ?
Thank you,
Satish

Hi,
Obviously system will not trigger release strategy in ur case since in the classification data for other strategies u have left it blank excepting X for one strategy.
Since u have added a new characteristic Material group and assigned it to class then system expects an input for Material group for triggering release tab.If this is left blank then system by default will not trigger release strategy tab.
Solution:
First add all existing material groups in values tab of mat group characteristic then maintain the required set of material groups except X in other strategies in classification data.
Hope this is clear to you.
Regards,
Uzair

Using Multiple Conditional Tags with Multiple WebHelp Outputs

I have a project that I have created for a web application. Within the web application, there are 3 types of customers (Commercial Accts, National Accts, and Tier 1 Customers).
I have tagged each help topic that is associated with the help topics I have created.
Then, I created 3 webhelp outputs and 3 TOCs for each customer type.
My goal is to publish the project, where each customer type has their own generated output. Doing it this way, what is listed in the TOC help topics for each customer type is not displaying correctly.
Example: National Accounts TOC
What is generated:
I have tagged the help topics within the TOC to the appropriate conditional tag. Please help. Any advice? I can also be reached at [email protected]
