Creating a header for rows/columns in cross-tab with syntax

Hi,
The issue is creating strings for rows or columns' headers. How can I create a formula field which contains more than one seperate string. Such as "aaa", "bbb" and "ccc" are headers and they should be in seperate columns. In short, they will behave like characteristics of one of my query's field but they are just headers of the columns.
..............aaa...bbb...ccc....
row1.......x.......x........x.....
row2.......y.......y........y.....
Also there is another issue about the formulation again. Is there any operator that does the same job as " \n" which is used in C languages to break the line?
before:
aaabbb
after:
aaa
bbb

Hi Carl;
Firstly, thanks for answering my question. To explain my problem there are two options ahead(for my first question); first one is writing down the actions step by step, the second one is posting an image file(jpeg etc) to visualize it. I think the first one will be enough. If not tell me
Step 1- Create a cross-tab and right click and select cross-tab expert.
Step 2- Click the button "New Formula" and write down any word(such as "Sales") between two -"- sign to make it string.Then save and close.
Step 3- Drag and drop the created formula to "columns" section and fill the other necessary sections with your database's(such as xtreme.mdb which is famous for crystal users) fields.Don't forget to add another column value to "columns" section, since our formula has no link to database.
Step 4- Then click OK to save the changes and lets preview the cross-tab.The result will have one top column and his child or children(that depends on your data). And this top column is behaving like a header not a field.
Now turn the second step but write down a formula for 2 columns or more.For exmple "Sales" and "Profit".So the result will have 2 top columns and their child/children.
My question is "what is the formula for 2 or more columns?"
Also I couldn't get the answer for my second question. What is the meaning of expressions "\c" and ChrW(13)?

Row Headers in Cross Tab Report -Crystal Report XI

I am trying to create a cross tab report. The report has 4 rows and the columns get generated based on the value of a database field.
I have 2 questions
Question 1 : I want the rows to have headers. I insert text objects in the report and when I run the report in crystal, the headers are displaying as required. But when I export to excel, the headers are displayed after the data. How can I create row headers and get them exported to excel as row headers.
Question 2: I am creating the column based on a database field. The field is of text data type. The sorting for this filed is 1. abc ,10. abc , 11.abc , 2.abc , 3.abc ; etc where abc is a text string. How can I sort the columns so that the columns appear as 1.abc, 2.abc, 3.abc etc.
I tried using the specified order sorting, but when I check the list of values that it creates to select the values, it is truncating the values. I can only see part of the values from the database.
Please Help!!!

I don't have Crystal in front of me so I will try to do this from memory. If you right click on a report object, there is option on one of the tabs (I think it is General) that says Display String with a corresponding X button. If you click on that, then you can enter a text expression that overrides the actual value of the report object.
In your case, if you want to add a static header text to the row data, you could try something like the following:
if Gender = "M"
then "Mr. " + CurrentFieldValue
else "Ms. " + CurrentFieldValue
where Gender is a field object in the report and CurrentFieldValue is the data object specified for rows in the cross-tab.
If you wanted to put header on the previous line, you could try something like this:
"Account ID" + chr(13) + CurrentFieldValue
where CurrentFieldValue is the account ID string.

Who expects this looks nothing like your actual report but hopefully it works as an example...

Creating a header for a .CSV file

Hi,
I have looked through the forums and cannot find a solution for creating a header for a csv file. I am using Labview 8.2. I want a label for each column at the top of the file and then I will append new rows to the file as the data is collected. An example of what I am looking for is attached.
It would also be nice to have the labels descending in the first column, pretty much a transposed version of what was described above.
Thanks,
Gary

Thank you very much. That worked well.
If i wanted to transpose the data how would I do that? I can get the header to be vertical, but I cant get the data to append to the 2nd column , and then the third and so on with the data descending from top to bottom. I attached an example of what I might want the file to look like. Each column would be added one at a time.

JTable - One Column Heading for Two Columns

Can you adjust the default JTable to have one column heading for two columns of data? Is there a simple span command? I've looked at the api for JTable and JTableHeader and didn't see anything, is there something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.

What i am trying to accomplish is have column 'E' span 2 columns.
This is my code thus far, however it give the error from my pryor message. I am pretty sure it is because I'm using and Object[][] and a String[] instead of Vectors. What corrections do I need to make in order for my goal of:
[ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ][ E ][ F ][ G ]
[ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ][ 4 ][5][6][ 7 ][ 8 ]
Object[][] data = new Object[ROWS][COLUMNS];
String[] columnNames = {"A","B","C","D","E","E","F","G"};
table = new JTable(data, columnNames);
table.setBackground(Color.white);
table.addKeyListener(this);
DefaultTableCellRenderer d = new DefaultTableCellRenderer();
d.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
table.setDefaultRenderer(table.getColumnClass(0),d);
for (int i = 0; i < table.getColumnCount(); i++){
TableColumn aColumn = header.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
TableCellRenderer renderer = aColumn.getHeaderRenderer();
if (renderer == null) {
renderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer(){
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column){
JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
if (header != null) {
setForeground(header.getForeground());
setBackground(header.getBackground());
setFont(header.getFont());
setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
return this;
aColumn.setHeaderRenderer(renderer);

Single heading for Multiple columns in ALV

Hi Experts,
      I need to display a common column heading for multiple columns in my ALV Grid Display output. I am giving the sample output here.
MATNR...WERKS..| Unrestricted Stock|....|Stock in transfer        |....|Stock in Quality|.
............................| CAT | SAP | Differe| .. | CAT   | SAP | Diff   | .. | CAT   | SAP | Diff |
As I shown above, for 3 columns CAT, SAP, and for Difference, I need to get "Unrestricted Stock" as column heading... and so on...
Pl. suggest me on this.
Thanks in Advance
Ramakrishna

Hello Ramki,
NOT POSSIBLE IN ALV AT ALL :-((
You have to use classical report using WRITE stmts for this.
If your client does not want to lose ALV functionalities, then you can try something like.
Unrestricted Stock-SAP | Unrestricted Stock-CRM | Unrestricted Stock-Diff. Stock ... and so on !!!

Thanks and Regards,
Krishna PrasadIf you want a column padding (i.e., actual blank columns that separate your measures), then create dummy columns between the measures.
1) Click any column and in the fx enter CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN tablename.column_name END
This will create a blank column.
2) Put this in your pivot table, make 3 duplicate layers, and place them in between the 4 measure columns.
In effect, you will have the spaces which you can format to highlight the buffer columns.

Hi
You can change the display string by right click on the row ->Format field->Common ->Display string.
Here you can define conditions as per your requirement to display the values you require.
Also you can write a formula field with all the specifications and use that in row in your cross tab.
Hope this helps!!

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.

Convert cross tab with 2 summarized fields to a chart

Greetings,
I have a simple cross tab containing a date row and 2 summarized fields. It looks like this (see Figure 1)
When I convert (insert) my cross tab into a stacked bar chart, I only get one of the summarized fields to show up on the chart. It looks like this (Figure 2)
Is there a way for me convert this cross tab into a stacked chart so that both of my summary fields appear?
Many Thanks!

OK... Thank you.
I was using the cross tab in hopes of controlling graph labels for months (Customize Group Name field) . What I was doing was converting dates to month verbiage (Sep, Oct, Nov, etc) so that the month verbiage would appear on my graphs instead of the numbers while still maintaining proper calendar order . (thanks for showing me this technique by the way as it works great). Too bad it does not work when there is more than one summary field (thanks for explaining its limitations... I had not told you that I was adding a second summary field).
Given that I have 1 row ( Date_discharge) that I need to display as months (verbiage) in calendar order
and
Given that there are 2 summary fields: Vaccine Indicator (a sum) and Birth_date_Baby (a count) ...
(I am contrasting # of vaccine's given against total babies per month in a monthly stacked bar chart)
Is there a way to display 2 summary fields on a stacked bar graph grouped by month (where the month is listed in alpha format, (Sep, Oct, Nov, etc.) but still sorted by its calendar value? My initial attempts to do this in a graph (without a cross-tab) would display the month verbiage just fine, but it would order my months alphabetically.
Thanks again for your suggestions!
