Cross Tab: documentation

Hi all,
I'm looking for documentation about cross tab, I read the official doc but I didn't find something about the "create_groups" command used when you put more than one tab.
My aim is to order the data and I don't know how in this case.
The sort command I used when I had one tab <?sort:field1;'ascending';data-type='text'?> doesn't work because I don't have a field but a variable....
Thx.
Bye,
O..
does anybody know something about it ?

Hi all,
I have an other problem with the cross tab, I found a bug :
- version 10.1.3.2 standalone
- cross tab
- when I had 2 tabs in column the sum function did not work with the first tab (the sum is done for the line not for the line and the first tab)
Does someone know something about this ?
Thx

CROSS TAB

HI ABAP GURUS,
I am fresher ,help me how to link the quick viewer in the cross tab format.

If you are using 8i check out the ROLLUP and CUBE options of the GROUP by clause.
They can produce the cross-tab data that you need. You can find the documentation from the list to the left of this post.
Good luck!

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.

How create SQL for Cross tab in template

Hi,
I have been starting to build data templates using SQL to select the data I require. I noticed in the word template-building tool there is an option to create cross tab table. I have tried looking at the standard documentation. I have been unable to work out how I should structure the SQL in my data template to allow me to create a cross tab table in the template?
Thanks,
Mark

Yes, I had done exactly the same but when tried to display the subreport in new page, some portion of the cross tab is displayed. The page width is not increased proportionately.
i have passed that sub report in footer of main report.
But when i overlap this sub report with other cross tabs already present in the main report i can see full width view of sub report.

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

Suppressing levels in cross tab.

Hello All,
I have a project requirenment for one of the client and currently using CR 2008 for creating dynamic reports based on a finance database for profitabilty Analysis. I have been using lot of Web-Elements functionality in my crystal application and its going good to an extent, the only issue i have been experiencing is the dynamic change of the cross tab data based on prompts.
Its a 4 level application where in users are prompted to select a specific level outta the 4 levels, they can select either few or all. Now, the issue is, in my cross tab i have mentioned all the 4 levels in my row field and the data is displayed according to the users selection through prompts, it works fine. But however if user does not select level 3 or 4 or any one of them then the specific cross tab row is displayed empty. I have tried selecting the option suppress empty rows under customize tab but that doesnt seem to work.
I want only those levels to be displayed which are selected by users and suppress the rest, the empty rows in cross tab looks kinda odd to see. I am unable to figure out the formula string for the same.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

Hi
Cross tab is nothing but a tabular representation of data.
It displays zero values only when there is no data for the combination of corresponding row and column.
We can not suppress this however we can display some string like "No data for this" or something else as per requirement.
For this, do the below:
- Right click on the summary value field on the cross tab -> Format Field.
- Under Common Tab, click on X-2 for Display string. This would open the formula editor.
- Put the below formula there:
if IsNull(summary database field) then "No data for here"
else "" & currentfieldvalue;
You can change the display string as per requirement.
Hope this helps!!

"Can Grow" property on Cross-Tab object can not be unlock

I am using Crystal Reports XI. My report uses a Cross-Tab object via SQL server. I am having problem making my data column (Field Row) to increase dynamically in height when my data size increases. Since the "Can Grow" property in the Format Editor is locked, it would not let me set the "Can Grow" to true to enable this function. How do I unlock the "Can Grow" function so I can set it to true?

The only other option I can think of would be to build a virtual cross tab, but in many cases, especially when the number of 'column' values is dynamic, this is not possible.

I need to develop a cross tab format in RTF using template builder. Can we get this in matrix report using the standard wizard given in template builder or else it should be done manual. If it can be done through wizard can u please explain the process.
And one more think what is the latest version of template builder available. In few cases its given as pivot table and in few its given as cross tab. I confused by that.
This seems to be basic doubt, but please guide me.
Regards

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

Nidhi

Crystal Report Cross Tab Report

In crystal report 2008, i created a cross tab report. Column shows sales order number and rows show item number.
For columns that shows sales order #, I also wanted to show sales person name field right beside it. In cross tab expert, I added the field salesperson name.
However, crystal cross tab shows the sales person at a separate column with duplicate information. I only want to show sales order no. with sales person name under one column. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks.

This would be a hard job.
Have you tried Pivot Table function in Excel? You can play with it and get some ideas.
Thanks,

How to get the last "reported" value in a cross tab

Dear all,
based on a BeX Query Universe I have built a report with a cross tab in webI.
Maybe you can help me with the following issue. There I have a problem: I want to get in the Total-column always the last reported value, e.g. for Number Total Customers "66", not for Mar or Apr, because they are null.
Calendar Month                      |Jan| |Feb| |Mar| |Apr| |Total|
Number Total Customers         |54|    |66| | |      | |       66
Number Active Customers      |57|    |71| | |      | |       71
I hope that you understand my problem and could help as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot in advance for your support.
Best regards.

Cross-Tab Report export to Excel

I have a cross-tab report that I need to export to excel and keep the same formatting. When I export the report the first column is Part # the next is operation #. The report is grouped on Part number, but each part may have multi operation. When I look at the report in Crystal or as a PDF the part # is at the top then each operation is a seperate row that follows. When I export it to excel it works fine but instead of the part # appearing at the top then follow by each operation the part number ends up on the last operation in the list. How can I export this and keep the format the same? by the way I have tried both xls data only and xls 2007 options

Hello Experts,
I also tried to export the CR cross tab report in Excel Data only format.
Also I want to display Row label i.e. my Rows are different dates so I created a text field and named as Date & Time but when export it to Excel Data Only, the date time label appears 1 row above then rest of the columns. It works good while looking on InfoView but export messed it up.
Can you please suggest.

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.

Cross Tab - select dates

Hi I have created a cross-tab report using only two fields. enrollment_id and create_date. What is needed is a count of the # of enrollments and a summary for the week starting on Sunday. I have been able to do this however, they only want for the previous 4 weeks - I am returning all weeks since the start. I am not sure where to filter. Here is what I used in a regular report which worked but is not working in the cross-tab. The formula below gives me up to the last 4 weeks sunday to today.
not ({ISSUANCE.CREATE_DATE}in Last4WeeksToSun) and
not ({ISSUANCE.CREATE_DATE} in WeekToDateFromSun)
Here's what it should look like and includes a count up to today for week of 11/30.
Site_name 11/02/08 11/09/08 11/16/08 11/23/08 11/30/08
#issued 25 29 16 18 15
Any help would be appreciated.

I figured this one out....needed to take out "not"
