Cross-tab and hyperlinks

Is it possible to have each rows of a cross-tab be a hyperlink poiting to another report and how to accomplish that?
My cross-tab rows represent categories, and I have another report for sub-categories (with category name as parameter), I'd like to be able to click a category and view the detail for that category.
Thanks for your help!

you need to try using open doc URL
"http://<servername>/businessobjects/Enterprise11.5/InfoView/scripts/opendocument.aspx?sPath=Report+Samples&sDocName=Target.rpt"
to pass the category to your sub report parameter you need to use currentfieldvalue

Format Fields in Cross Tab and Calculated Members

Hello:
I have a cross Tab with a calculated member, I need to display one decimal or no decimal in some of the columns so I created a formula in the Display String option like this:
if GridRowColumnValue ("@TestID_desc")= "ALK mg/L
then
Cstr(CurrentFieldValue, "0")
else
Cstr(CurrentFieldValue, "0.0")
But, after I saved the formula the value in the calculated member colums disappears. Any ideas? Thank You in advance!

right click on calculated field and go to format field and in number tab select customize button and write the condition for decimals.

Raghavendra

Suppress values in Cross-Tab and Cross-Tab Chart if null

I am developing a cross-tab report that has no-values contributing to the summary in a number of cells. For instance, if I were to display the average value for the testing of particle-counts by the day of the month, and no testing was performed on a particular day, then I would hope that the cell would be blank and a plot of the cross-tab would just omit that data point. However, Crystal interprets this as a 0.00 instead of NULL, and the plot (incorrectly) includes the zero-datapoint.
I can suppress the datapoint in the cross-tab if it's zero, but that isn't correct either (as, sometimes, zero will be the correct answer). Even then, though, I cannot suppress the datapoint on the plot.
Anyone have experience with a workaround for this?
Thanks - Tim

BTW...I found that I can work-around the plotting issue if I convert the chart to a "Group" type (instead of cross-tab). It will then ignore the null-values. Still thinking about cross-tab displaying zero for a summary value when it is working with no data.
Suggestions?

Cross-Tab and Top-N

Dear Experts,
How can I add Top-N into Cross-Tab?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
Right-Click on the top left corner of the crosstab and select 'Group Sort Expert'.
This opens up the Cross-Tab Top N and Sort Expert. Specify the Top N value for the groups here based on one of the summary values.
Hope this helps!

Export cross-references and hyperlinks from InDesign to Word?

Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to export text from InDesign (CS5) to Word (2010) keeping all cross-references active?
This would be really nice if so as we do a lot of translations for literature and need to keep moving back and forth with editors using Word.
If anyone has any information on this, please let me know!
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for the suggestion, but our company is world-wide and each subsidiary deals with different staff and editors (who only some use Adobe software, but all use Office). I will pass along the info though.
This would be a good Feature Request for a future release of InDesign!
Thanks again.

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,

How to include both percentages and number values in a cross-tab chart?

Hi,
I created a cross-tab and a multiple pie chart using Crystal XI. I would like to include percentages as well as numbers in my pie charts' slices. Seems I can either show % or numbers but not both!
The multiple pie chart compares different charges for different Departments. It has an On Change Of by "DifferentDepartments" and "ItemCharges" (e.g. Normal, Double Time, Time & half, Shift, Meal... ) and the Summary value is sum of "Labour".
Is there any workaround available? Please advice.
Thanks,
Nazee
Edited by: Nazee TVK on Feb 23, 2012 1:52 AM

hi Nazee,
this is possible sometimes, using a workaround, and depending on the values you're showing.
instead of using your department field as the On Change Of field, create a new formula which is something like
{departmentfield} + chr(10) + totext({your group level summary})
as an example using the xtreme sample databae
{Customer.Customer Name} + chr(10) +
totext(Sum ({Customer.Last Year's Sales}, {Customer.Customer Name}))
now in your Pie Chart switch the department field for the new formula you just created.
i have attached a sample report...however, please note that the forums sometimes don't work with these attachments. so you can try different browsers or right clicking on the attachment and doing a save first etc.

Cross-Tab - conditional suppression and formatting

I have a cross-tab report of "widgets" sold. There are $10 widgets, $20 widgets, and $50 widgets. All widgets will always cost some round dollar amount, never anything like $10.99. My report shows weekly, month-to-date, and year-to-date sales for each widget denomination by both count and total amount by state. For example:
                               $10                          $20                              $50
     count     amount       count       amount         count       amount
New York
       Week        5             $50           4                 $80             1               $50
        MTD
        YTD
Delaware         1              $10
etc.
I also have totals by row, along with mark-up amounts (11% of gross sales amounts) and net sales (gross - mark-up). These last 3 columns are included in my dataset, not calculated in the cross-tab.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to do 2 things:
1. the count columns for mark-up and net will always be blank, so I want to suppress the "count" column header
2. I want to display the dollar amounts for those 2 columns with 2 decimal places, but the other amounts with no decimals.
Can this be done, and if so, how?
Thanks!
Phil

Hi Phil,
I also found the following information under Cross-tab Help for suppressing rows or columns. I hope this is what you're looking for. Sylvie
To suppress empty rows and columns
Right-click the blank top-left area of the Cross-Tab and select Cross-Tab Expert from the shortcut menu.
The Cross-Tab Expert appears.
Click the Customize Style tab.
Select either the Suppress Empty Rows or Suppress Empty Columns check box.
Click OK.
Now, when you print the report, empty rows and/or columns will not appear.
To suppress row and column grand totals
Right-click the blank top-left area of the Cross-Tab and select Cross-Tab Expert from the shortcut menu.
The Cross-Tab Expert appears.
Click the Customize Style tab.
Select either the Suppress Row Grand Totals or Suppress Column Grand Totals check boxes.
Click OK.
To suppress subtotals and their labels
If you have more than two groups in your Cross-Tab you can suppress the subtotal and label for one of them.
Right-click the blank top-left area of the Cross-Tab and select Cross-Tab Expert from the shortcut menu.
The Cross-Tab Expert appears.
Click the Customize Style tab.
Click the field whose subtotal you want to suppress.
The Suppress Subtotal and the Suppress Label check boxes become active.
In the Group Options area, select the Suppress Subtotal check box.
Click the Suppress Label check box to suppress the label associated with subtotal.
Click OK.

Cross Tab Sort and Exclusion

I have a cross tab that maps closing dates over the prior 13 months and looks like this:
 Total
 Total 3,004
 Sep-08 137
 Aug-08 220
 Jul-08 251
 Jun-08 201
 May-08 168
 Apr-08 263
 Mar-08 212
 Feb-08 163
 Jan-08 142
 Dec-07 100
 Nov-07 176
 Oct-07 149
 Sep-07 109
 Jan-00 713
I have mapped everything that is not within the prior 13 month range to Jan 1, 2000. I have used record selection to grab records based on multiple criteria. It looks at cases opened in the prior 13 months and cases closed in the prior 13 months. This looks at opened and closed dates. The 713 is just everything in the past 13 months that doesn't have a closed date. When I don't map it to Jan-00 it displays a blank row. I tried to do a specific order sort but when I ran my report today it did not include Sep-08, not that its difficult to add the month once a month, but is it possible to exclude Jan-00 when its printing the cross-tab and then sort the remaining ones in descending order [most recent month prior to oldest]? I am new to Crystal Reports. I thought it may be in the Formula as Group Sort Order and something like this
if {@Closed Month}= date(2000,01,01) then [not sure of what function to exclude] else {@Closed Month} crDescendingOrder
thank you all for the support so far

Try using group selection formula like
{@Closed Month}<>date(2000,01,01)
to exclude JAN data.

Raghavendra

Drill down of manual cross tab reports with Multi variable subreports

I tried to make a subreport by setting the hyperlink on the group sum of a manual crosstab (http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1219) by setting Hyperlink to another report object.
The documentation said I should copy and paste the name of the report object in the sub report over into the field in the primary report. As I don' t really know what a report object is this failed. Further I found some code in a sample report to deal with subreports that have multiple parameters. The code was unbelievable; it couldn't be right. So, how do I link my subreports to my reports by passing two parameters to the subreports that represent the row and column label of a given sum.
Further what are the fields in the hyperlink another report object from for:
Select from: //do they want a query here?
Report title: //The don't let you type in this
Object Name: //This seems elective
Data Context:// No clue on this either
Thanks for any help you can provide
p.s. This forum doesn't seem to use traditional bit code

Thanks for the reply. I looked through those samples and other samples. The two cross tab samples I could find were CtossTab and Inventory CrossTab. Neither has a hyperlink to a sub report and I believe those were actual cross tabs, not manual crosstabs. When I scoured the web for an answer, all I could find was what was linked. This is going 20 pages deep on google.
Crystal crosstabs are 98% better than the excel power pivot or pivot table. However, with Excel, you can drill down to the details automatically. With crosstabs you can't. I was hoping to replicate this by making each summary in the manual cross tab a hyperlink to a sub report that filters the details based on the row and column just as excel does. There is no sample for this.
Oh yes, I'm using CR XI

I've created a cross-tab report but I will like for the report to list the rows will null values as well as the rows with values. I need to do this because I cannot create one cross-tab with all of the necessary fields, so Iu2019ve created 3 cross-tabs and placed them side by side. Or is it possible to link the cross-tabs. Thanks

What I've done in the past is create a new formula for your "value" field similar to this and put it in your cross-tab:if {original value field} is "" then [0] else {original value field}the purpose is to create a record value (e.g. 0) where there is no record. I hope that this helps.

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)?

Serial No in cross tab

i need to give serial no in cross tab....
i had given in group header...
i have 5 different groups..
so i need to refresh the serial no for each cross tab...
Please help me...
Thanks in Advance.......................

Hi MR. HAFEEZ MR.
The requirement is not clear but you can print serial number in cross tab.
Go in Cross tab and right click on a field where you want to insert serial number and go in Format Field -- common Tab--Disply String then write the following formula :
WhilePrintingRecords;
Global Numbervar x;
x:=x+1;
totext(x,"##")" "CurrentFieldValue;
It will print serial number along with your field value.
Thanks,
