Cross tab direction

Hi friends
I want your help in how to change the direction of the cross-tab crystal report to make it suitable for right-to-left languages. When I created a cross-tab report it looks like :-
            option1 option2 option3
row-1    XXXX      XXXx     XXXX
row-2    XXXX      XXXx     XXXX
but in my case I want the report to be like this:-
option1 option2 option3
XXXX      XXXx     XXXX       row-1
XXXX      XXXx     XXXX       row-2
Please help me

Hi Hamzah,
Sorry I should have caught this before suggesting to post here... Crosstabs are limited functionality, always has been. I'll move your post to the report Design forum but I don't believe this will work.
Add your request to the[ Idea Place|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/idea-place] and the PM's for Cr will look at it. If it gets enough votes they will add the ability.
Thanks
Don

Is there a limit to no. of summary fields that can be used in a cross tab?

Hi,
While creating a cross tab is there a limitation to number of summarized fields that can be used?
- The cross tab when uses 184 fields as summary fields leads to Crystal report application to crash at the time of export to excel.
- Tried with two Datasources: XML and excel
- If we reduce the number of summary fields used to 102 exactly, export works fine in excel.
- If 2 cross tabs are used each containing 92 summary fields(in order to show 184) export to excel works fine.
Please let me know if there is any such limitation which leads to CR application to crash when exporting in excel?
Thanks

CA Forum: General
I have a cross-tab design that requires me to used shared var from a subreport. The SV formulas are not in my available fields in cross-tab wizard. What other choices are there?
I am creating a summary financial statement that requires information from multi tables - because they are not directly related I am creating SV's to get the info I need. Any ideas welcome. THANKs

I'm having a similar problem. I've created two variables in the main report
PLACE:
WhilePrintingRecords;Shared StringVar VPNum;VPNum
VENDPROD:
WhilePrintingRecords;{@Place}
I can insert VENDPROD into my cross-tab but the field is blank. On the details line, boty PLACE and VENDPROD display the correct (string) values. I've placed the Cross-Tab in both the Report Header and Report Footer sections and the VENDPROD field is always blank in the cross-tab. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,

Issue with passing parameters through Java-JSP in a report with cross tab

Can anyone tell me, if there's a bug in Java SDK in passing the parameters to a report (rpt file) that has a cross tab in it ?
I hava report that works perfectly fine
   with ODBC through IDE and also through browser (JSP page)
(ii)    with JDBC in CR 2011 IDE
the rpt file has a cross tab and accpts two parameters.
When I run the JDBC report through JSP the parameters are never considered. The same report works fine when I remove the cross tab and make it a simple report.
I have posted this to CR SDK forum and have not received any reply. This have become a blocker and because of this our delivery has been postponed. We are left with two choices,
   Re-Write the rpt files not to have cross-tabs - This would take significant effort
OR
(ii) Abandon the crystal solution and try out any other java based solutions available.
I have given the code here in this forum posting..

Mr.James,
Thank you for the reply.
As I stated earlier, we have been using the latest service pack (12) when I generated the log file that is uploaded earlier.
To confirm this further, I downloaded the complete eclipse bundle from sdn site and reran the rpt files. No change in the behaviour and the bug is reproducible.
You are right about the parameters, we are using {?@Direction} is: n(1.0)
{?@BDate} is: dt(d(1973-01-01),t(00:00:00.453000000)) as parameters in JSP and we get 146 records when we directly execute the stored procedure. The date and the direction parameter values stored in design time are different. '1965-01-01' and Direction 1.
When we run the JSP page, The parameter that is passed through the JSP page, is displayed correctly on the right top of the report view. But the data that is displayed in cross tab is not corresponding to the date and direction parameter. It corresponds to 1965-01-01 and direction 1 which are saved at design time.
You can test this by modifying the parameter values in the JSP page that I sent earlier. You will see the displayed data will remain same irrespective of the parameter.
Further to note, Before each trial run, I modify the parameters in JSP page, build them and redeploy so that caching does not affect the end result.
This behaviour, we observe on all the reports that have cross-tabs. These reports work perfectly fine when rendered through ODBC-ActiveX viewer and the bug is observable only when ran through Java runtime library. We get this bug on view, export and print functionalities as well.
Additionally we tested the same in
    With CR version 2008 instead of CR 2011.
(ii)   Different browsers ranging from IE 7 through 9 and FF 7.
The complete environment and various softwares that we used for this testing are,
OS      : XP Latest updates as on Oct 2011.
App Server: GlassFish Version 3 with Java version 1.6 and build 21
Database server ; SQL Server 2005. SP 3 - Dev Ed.
JTds JDBC type 4 driver version - 1.2.5 from source forge.
Eclipse : Helios along with crystal libraries directly downloaded from SDN site.
I am uploading the log file that is generated when rendering the rpt for view in IE 8

Cross-tab with a lot of data causes fault in crpe32.dll when exporting to Excel

Hello. I believe I found a bug in the Service Pack 9. After upgrading my production to runtime 9, I found that cross-tab reports with large datasets crashed the website. Per the Windows Application Log, a fault happened in the crpe32.dll. So I uninstalled the runtimes for 9 and re-installed 8 and the reports worked again. My production uses the 64 bit runtimes.
I created a test site which includes a two datasets one large and one small with two reports, one cross-tab and another non-cross-tab. The site has four pages, one to open the cross-tab report using the large dataset, another with the same cross-tab report using the small dataset, another for the non-cross-tab report using the large dataset and the last with the non-cross-tab report using the small dataset. Only the cross-tab report using the large dataset causes the fault. I’ve attached the test site for you use as needed.

Hi Thomas,
What version of Visual Studio are you using?
What OS are you using?
What version of IIS?
I did a quick test using a simplied one liner WEB app and I see the same thing...
FYI, changes we've done is IIS recommends, actually it's a must, to load the report and viewer in the Page_Init section and not the Page_Load so you initialize all of the required dependencies, Page Load doesn't handle it properly...
I tried both, doesn't make any difference...
By the way your "large dataset" is not that big. I've seen people use a 10 meg xml files.
Try moving all of your code to the Page_Init section and test again to confirm...
I don't believe it has anything to do with the amount data directly, I believe it's the number of pages to render for a crosstab report.
I'll escalate this to DEV - ADAPT01726274
Set for SP 10 ( which means I set it to be fix in SP 10 but it does not mean it will be. All depends on DEV's work load )
Thanks

Running Totals and Formulas with Cross Tabs

Hi,
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 and am having two issues using Cross Tabs.
The first is that I want to have two crosstabs. They both will have a common Y axis (Oppourtunity.Sales Rep), and on the Y Axis I want one to show all (Opportunity.Create Date) where (Opportunity.Staus = Won) and the other where (Opportunity.Staus = In Process), but I can't figure out how to contruct the formula to return this result.
The other issue, is that in addition to summarizing based on Sum (Opportunity.Expected Revenue), I would also like to create a running total to show the cumulative (Expected Revenue) Week over Week.
Any direction would be fantastic.
Thank you,
Michael

Please go through the SAP Notes listed here which would help you how to create mannual running totals in crosstab

Date Formatting in Charts and Dynamic column resizing in Cross tabs

Hi All,
I am new to Design Studio, so am in desperate need of your help on the following:
Is there a way we can change the date format in x axis in charts?
For ex: Am getting dates as mm/yyyyy from BW but requirement is to show in yy-Mon
Requirement is to display data in cross tab just below the charts. How can I make the column widths in the cross tab the same as x-axis divisions in the chart? Also, this will be dynamic as depending on filter selection x axis scaling in charts will vary.
In cross tab, can I hide the column header?
Would really appreciate any kind of help from you.
Thanks & Regards
Swasti

HI Swasti,
To answer your first question, in Design Studio it's what you see is what you get! so it shows the Data Labels as it is in the BEx output, if you have to modify this you have to change it in the Background.
There might be CSS workarounds, but I am not sure if that will satisfy your requirements.
You can fix the Column width, but it would be constant, aligning that to your X-axis would require a lot of Effort.
You cannot hide the Column header directly, but one workaround would be to use a white BG text component to overlay on the Crosstab.

Cross tab formatting in Infoview

I uploaded a Crystal 2008 report into Infoview product version 12.1.0. The report contains indented row labels in the cross tab. When I view the report in Infoview, the indents don't display nicely indented. Instead, they almost look centered, which defeats the purpose of this feature. Anyone know whether I'm doing something wrong or maybe it's a version/Infoview setting issue?
Thx.

Cross-Tab in multiple columns on same page rather than on multiple pages

I have a report that shows temperature readings and the date/time of the reading in a cross tab as a part of a report. The amount of readings causes the cross-tab to take up multiple pages. What I would like to do is set the cross tab to appear three or four times on the same page before going to the next page to reduce the number of pages in my report. Any ideas on how I can do this?
This is what I have:
Page 1:
Date/Time1 | Temp1
Date/Time2 | Temp2
Date/Time3 | Temp3
Date/Time4 | Temp4
Page 2:
Date/Time5 | Temp5
Date/Time6 | Temp6
Date/Time7 | Temp7
Date/Time8 | Temp8
What I want is:
Page 1
Date/Time1 | Temp1..............Date/Time5 | Temp5..............Date/Time9   | Temp9
Date/Time2 | Temp2..............Date/Time6 | Temp6..............Date/Time10 | Temp10
Date/Time3 | Temp3..............Date/Time7 | Temp7..............Date/Time11 | Temp11
Date/Time4 | Temp4..............Date/Time8 | Temp8..............Date/Time12 | Temp12
Page 2
Date/Time13 | Temp17............Date/Time21 | Temp21............Date/Time25 | Temp25
Date/Time14 | Temp18............Date/Time22 | Temp22............Date/Time26 | Temp26
Date/Time15 | Temp19............Date/Time23 | Temp23............Date/Time27 | Temp27
Date/Time16 | Temp20............Date/Time24 | Temp24............Date/Time28 | Temp28

hello,
Don's suggestion of creating a "mock cross tab" is a good one.
you can also try this Multiple Columns formatting idea if you wish:
1) create a new report
2) create a group on your date field
3) put a summary on your Temp field and move it into the group header of the group
4) suppress the details section and the group footer
5) right click on the details section header in the design mode and choose Section Expert
6) in the Common tab, choose Format With Multiple Columns
7) in the Layout tab, choose a Width of about 2.66"
8) choose Down Then Across for Printing Directions
9) choose Format Groups With Multiple Columns
10) bring this new report into your existing report as a subreport

Totals in a cross tab report

I'm working with Crystal Reports XI. We have an existing report that was created using the Cross-tab report type.
There are 3 summary fields in the report:
- direct cost
- indirect cost
- Total ( direct cost + indirect cost)
Everything worked fine until now because both the direct cost and the indirect cost were being rounded to 2 decimal places. However, I have a new requirement to round the indirect cost total to a whole dollar ( no decimal places) before adding it to the direct cost total. This creates a problem for the third summary field because I'm only able to do:
- create a formula field of (direct cost + indirect cost rounded to a whole dollar)
- use that amount in the summary field
The problem is that then the indirect cost is being rounded for EACH record separately. But what I need to to calculate the Total indirect cost first and only after I have that total rounded to a whole dollar, add it to the direct cost total.
So basically, I would like for the third row to simply show the sum of the first row and the second row.
I can't take the current total ( direct cost + indirect cost) and then round this total because the rounding for the total direct cost needs to be done in a different way than the rounding for the indirect cost total.
Is that possible with the cross-tab report type? Is it possible to have 2 running totals in a cross tab report and then have a custom field in the report that rounds each using the appropriate rounding algorithm and then adds the two up.
thanks

Thank you for your suggestions. I kind of suspected that I wouldn't be able to use the current cross tab report to achieve this but since I've never worked with a cross tab report before I wanted to make sure this is the case before investing the time to do it some other way.
I will try using the manual cross tab report as you suggested.
Thanks again.

Empty regions in Cross Tab report

How to remove the blank spaces, empty spaces in a cross tab report? Basically ,I created a cross tab report and in my report I have multiple fields in the left section of the cross tab. And because of this a huge empty region comes up directly above the left section of the cross tab. Is there a way to remove or format the report so that I can avoid the empty regions ?
Any pointers on this front will be helpful. Please e-mail directly to me for any suggestions or questions.

Hi,
You can use a formula. e.g
< Basic format>
Select case year({Command.tradeDate})
    case 2005 to 2007
        formula = 1
    Case else
        formula = 0
end select
Then on the crosstab column group options, choose "specified order" and on the "Other" tab choose "Discard all others"
Hope this helps

Increase Number of Decimal Points on % summarized field in Cross Tab?

Hi,
I have a cross tab that I have added a "% of COUNT " summarized field to, but I want to show the percentage to 2 decimal places (DP) and make the rounding more accurate. Currently the rounding means the % values do not actually total to 100%.
I assumed this would be as simple as changing the formatting of the field to increase the 'Decimals' property to 1.00 and the rounding to 0.01.
However when I save the changes are not reflected in my cross tab? It still shows them with 0dp? e.g. 60%
Is it possible to get % values in a cross tab showing to 2dp? e.g. 59.82%
Thanks

Visual studio cross tab report design problem

I have visual studio 2008 and its default crystal reports.
I have created a cross tab report that has a lot of columns and only 3 rows.
So the total number of pages that get printed are 34. (with 12 columns at the top of each page since the xtab is in report header).
My client wants me to utilize the space left at the bottom of the page by having 12 columns at the top and 12 columns at the bottom of the page.
I don't know how this can be achieved.
If the problem is not clear then let me know I'll try to explain more.
I am on a deadline here so please help me.

Hello,
I suggest you also search Forums, there are multiple posting on how to add multiple Xtabs.
This is a public area for all to use and not a case management system. If you are in a hurry I suggest you contact Support after purchasing a support incident and have a dedicated Engineer help you directly. You can get one from this link:
