Cross Tab Grand Total Out Of Line When Exporting to Excel Data Only

Does anyone have a solution to this issue:
Setting up a cross tab report with a grand-total field at the end of it and exporting to Excel Data Only format, moves the grand total values one column to the right of where the should be.
eg:
Company    Month    Revenue    Total
Acme       200710   1000.00    1000.00
Indigo     200710   2000.00    2000.00
Total                          3000.00   3000.00
Thanx for any input - looks better in fixed font.
the 2nd 3000.00 appears to the right of the Total column and not under it

Hi,
Of what i gather from ur scenario...this is what i did in one of my reports.
I had to use two subreports and they had to occupy one cell each, in line with other fields.
To obtain that,all the fields required in the subreport i put them into a text box.Therein restricting the fields to the txt box only...
Then import that sub-report as it is.
It worked for me....
try out...
All this only if've understood u right...

Column headings are mismatched when export to excel (Data Only)

Hi All,
We have an old Crystal Web Portal designed using CE10 in VS 2003.   The crystal viewer shipped with VS 2003 exports to excel (Data only) in correct order where all the columns headers are matched with the corresponding data.
We have re-written the entire new web portal in VS 2008 with using CE10 on windows 2003 server. Everything works we can view the report, page navigation, export to PDF, export to MS Excel 97-2000.   However when export to MS Excel 97-2000 (Data only) option, the column headings are mismatched with the corresponding data.   I don't understand what changed between VS 2003 Crystal Viewer and VS 2008 Crystal Viewer.   I think this has to be the crystal viewer problem because I'm exporting from the viewer tool bar.
Here is the API referencing in the code:
In Visual Studio I'm referencing all CE10 10.0.3300 version api's. Howerver since Crystal Viewer with VS 2008 is newer and has 10.5.3700 version I'm using CrystalDecision.Shared and CrystalDecision.Web are version 10.5.3700.   These seems to have no problem. The entire web portal works fine.
More about Web Portal:
-User is validated upon login with CE10
-use selects the report from the list
-Report ID is then passed to reportdocument
-reportdocument API loads the report and
-Viwer.reportsource= reportdocument.reportsource
We cannot update Crystal Enterprise 10 right now.   I'm in the middle of deploying new web portal with VS 2008.   I have to resolve the Export excel (Data only) option and have the column headers matched with the data in excel.   I have tried everthing.
Can some help here.
thanks

Hi,
The report saves the printer information and if it can connect to the exact same printer then the print options will get passed to the printer.
If the report is being sent to a different printer, Crystal doesn't know if this new printer will support the same settings, ie. duplex or color. In our case we were setting the report to print duplex printing and landscape. When our application went to print it actually crashed because some of the printers didn't support duplex.
What we did is disable the print button on the viewer and added the PrintDialog control to our form. Use the ReportDocument.PrintOptions method to set the properties for the PrintDialog control.
var printDialog1 = new PrintDialog();
printDialog1.UseEXDialog = true;
printDialog1.AllowSomePages = true;
if (myLink.Parent.SavedPrinterSettings != null)
     printDialog1.PrinterSettings = myLink.Parent.SavedPrinterSettings; //Use any saved printer settigns
     printDialog1.PrinterSettings.Copies = Convert.ToInt16(copies);
     dr = printDialog1.ShowDialog();
     if (dr == DialogResult.OK)
     myLink.Parent.SavedPrinterSettings = printDialog1.PrinterSettings;     //Save the latest printer settings
     nCopy = printDialog1.PrinterSettings.Copies;               //Get the number of Copies
     sPage = printDialog1.PrinterSettings.FromPage;               //Get the number of Start Page
     ePage = printDialog1.PrinterSettings.ToPage;                    //Get the number of End Page
     myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterName = printDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;     //Get the printer name
     myReport.PrintOptions.CustomPaperSource = printDialog1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource;
     if (printDialog1.PrinterSettings.Duplex == System.Drawing.Printing.Duplex.Vertical)
          myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex.Vertical;
     else if (printDialog1.PrinterSettings.Duplex == System.Drawing.Printing.Duplex.Horizontal)
          myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex.Horizontal;
     else if (printDialog1.PrinterSettings.Duplex == System.Drawing.Printing.Duplex.Simplex)
          myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex.Simplex;
Hope this helps,

Column Headers are Jumbled when exporting to 'Excel Data only'

Hi,
When I am exporting a report to 'Excel Data only' the column headers are jumbled in the output,where as the data field are exported in the same order as it is in the report .
They are being exported as
Header:F3   F2    F1
Detail   :F1   F2    F3
Instead of
Header:F1   F2    F3
Detail   :F1   F2    F3
Is there a way I can over come this issue.

Can you explain how exactly the report was designed? Is it happening for every report or only for this report?

Missing report headers when exporting to XLS Data Only

Hello all,
I searched for this topic and was unable to find a similar one!
I have a report that's very long.. (Page Setup:User Defined)
When I export to Excel Data Only, with option of: Custom: Data is exported according to selected options, the output shows some headers only and skips many.
I tried going into Design view and putting grids around each feild so that they don't overlap.
How can I fix this issue?
Thanks,

Go to FILE->Export->Report Export Options then select Excel Data Only option from the Format drop down window then press ok.
Check page headers and footer check box and press ok.
This should set the options to export report header and footers.
Hope this helps!

A single table line generating more than 2 lines when exporting to Excel

Guys,
I do have an interactive report on apex with a varchar2(4000) column that is generating more than 1 excel row per table row. In another words:
Table my_report
file_id number,
file_comment varchar2(4000)
Query on report
select file_id, file_comment from my_report
It generates 5 lines on report screen but, when I export to excel using csv or xls format, it generates more than 5 lines. On file_comments field on excel, some of them has a break in 2 or 3 lines. Seems to me a line feed problem with CHR(13) or chr(10).
Anyone as a solution or a similar problem like this? Any idea?
Andre.

you could try to remove the linebreaks in the select.
select file_id, file_comment, replace(replace(file_comment,CHR(13)),CHR(10)) file_comment_nobreak
from my_reportThen depending on the type of report you could show one column, but export the other column in the excel/csv file. Not sure if this works with an interactive report too.

Export Excel Data only causes blank line between 2 lines of records

Hi,
I wrote a complete winform application using CR2008.
For information :
C# Framework 3.5
Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1
CR2008 SP1
Application allow to preview report. In the preview window (CR activx) there is a "letter icon" to export report in several format.
-RPT
-PDF
-DOC
-XSL
-XSL Data only
When I export with "Excel Data only" format, I always have a blank line between 2 lines of records in Excel.
Is there a way to supress them from VS2008 ?
Thanks a lot for your reply,

Hello, Jonik;
Do you see the same blank lines when you export to Excel Data only in the Crystal Reports designer?

Yeah.. crystal has giving some issues while exporting reports without SPs, especialy previous versions.
So Better to install latest SP or patches for CR 10.0. I think SP 6 is the updated one for CR10.0.

Cross Tab export : Excel Data Only - Row headings are *bottom* aligned?

Hi All,
Having a problem with Crystal 11 / BOXI.
I have a Cross Tab working fine that has four Row groupings (labels on the left).
In Preview mode, it looks as expected. Row #1 label appears on line 1. Row #1 label shows blank on line 2,3,4 etc until it is ready to change.
The organization of the Row group is further made clear by a nice box that spans multiple rows. The Row label appears at the TOP of this box as you might expect.
In Excel-Data Only format, there is a problem. (I saved, scheduled, and ran on BO XI Enterprise CMC console.) The Excel file shows the Row 1 labels without any box (that's OK as it is "data only") however the text is bottom aligned. So the first label does not appear until the final row of the grouping.
Same thing is happening with Row 2, 3 groupings, they are all bottom aligned.
It's confusing for the users who would expect the Row grouping labels to be all top-aligned.
I have searched the forums and support site and read all technotes. I also tried several things including:
Format Field for Row#1 Name, choosing Left/Right/Center horizontal alignment (where is the same for vertical??)
Within BO Enterprise, try combinations of options under Excel - Data Only : export formatting, maintain relative object position, maintain column alignment, use options saved with report, etc.
Any ideas? Is there a way to force a top-alignment programmatically, for Excel Data Only output?
Help appreciated !

I found the answer to this question with help from SAP Support.
In the Cross-Tab Expert, Customize Style tab, click "Column Totals on Top".
Then, the Excel Data Only report will show the row titles Top-aligned for the row group.

Exporting Cross Tabs to Excel - Data Only

I have a report with three cross tabs embedded in three report footers (RFa, RFb, RFc). The third cross tab in RFc, is actually in a subreport. When I preview the report and then export to excel in Excel Data Only there is no problem. Howeever, when I export the report (with the same export settings as before) without previewing it first, it truncates the data found in the first and third crosstabs. Anybody have any ideas on what could be causing this? I have played with the settings in the export options and have gotten it to export the first and second crosstabs without previewing but the third crosstab is still a problem.
I thought that Crystal reports would export exactly what is in the report and I do not know why previewing should matter or not?
Thank you for your help!

Athalia,
I tried to recreate the issue using the Xtreme sample database with 3 crosstabs in RFa,b,c with hours of the day as columns. First crosstab has rows for Region, second uses City, and third uses Country.
All 3 are summarizing Customer Credit ID and the 3rd has the sum of Last Years Sales and count of Address1.
When I export this I get the correct result whether the report is previewed or not. I am using the exporting options, Maintain Relative Object position, Maintain Column Alignment, and Simplify Page Header
I would suggest;
a) Ensure that the 3 crosstabs are left aligned and that the column widths of all 3 are the same
b) If there are any other sections in the report that are visible try suppressing all but the 3 sections with the crosstabs in them, will it export now?
c) Try recreating the 3rd crosstab adding just 1 summarized field at a time until it fails and then any formatting that you had done until it fails to try and narrow down what is causing the truncation
d) Try creating a similar report using the Xtreme sample database to see if you can recreate the issue and if so then document the steps so that I can recreate it.

Formatting lost when exported to excel

When I export a worksheet results to excel the formatting is being lost like in my worksheet I wanted a line and space for every grouped item which is lost in excel sheet. Is there a way get around for this ?
Thanks

Not exactly sure what formatting you're having a problem with, but I'll list some of the points I can think of, of exporting to Excel and will hopefully cover it. I believe you may be referring to point 1 below, but just in case ...
1. If you have group sort on for a column or more, then when exported to Excel, you won't have those 'blank' values for the column(s) that's grouped. That's why when you know someone will be exporting to Excel, it's a pain as all group sorts are usually taken back off (which can screw up exactly what you're trying to point out in the workbook).
2. If you have a page -> item (ie: lots of values you pull down like a LOV), then I believe, that you won't get an Excel worksheet for each value in the LOV but only for the one currently displayed when you performed the File -> Export.
3. When you export to Excel, you only get actual values, no functions of how it was calculated (ie: it'll be static, not dynamic).
4. You can export to Excel using Plus and might not get the formatting characteristics you want in Excel. I've seen users specifically bring up Viewer just to get the formatting characteristics (colors, fonts, etc.) when they export from that Disco version.
5. Sometimes when you export from Disco to Excel, that actual value that gets posted in Excel is different. I know ... it sounds wierd, but it's a fact. The problem is NOT Disco, but is a problem with Windows and a setting has to be altered (although I'd have to hunt what that setting is now though). However, I've only seen this happen a few times, so definitely not the norm.

Repeated column headers in Crosstab report when exported to Excel

I have created a Cross tab report and wanted to export it in the format "Microsoft Excel(97-2003) (*.xls)", as the formatting of the report is lost in Excel Data Only format. But when I export the data the column headers are repeated in the Excel. Is there any solution to avoid repeated column headers without losing the formatting of layout?

I suppose one answer we should have before anything else;
Does the export work from the CR designer?

Error when exporting to Excel for SharePoint 2010 List

We have few users who are getting the following error message when they try to export to Excel from the SharePoint list:
"An operation that uses the database driver could not be completed. If the driver is a Microsoft driver, make sure the driver file isn’t damaged, and if it is, reinstall the driver by reinstalling Microsoft Query. For other drivers, contact
your database administrator or driver vendor.‘
The export option works for me on my machine and also tested it out on other users' machines without issues. The list is currently holds 29763 items.
1. Created a view that filter the list to show few items, and the user was able to export without issues.
2. Followed the steps in the following Blog:
http://www.sharepointserverrecovery.com/blog/troubleshooting-problems-when-exporting-sharepoint-list-data-to-excel-spreadsheet-and-fixing-database-corruption/ and the user was able to export the original list.
3. My colleagues and I don't have any issues exporting to Excel. (Note: even my test account, that does not have any special permissions or members of any SharePoint group(s)).
4. Some Blog/Forums suggest to increase Threshold limit in Central Admin, which we don't want to do, since the issue only affect certain users.
Any idea on how to troubleshoot/resolve the issue?
Thanks,
Yassar

Do they have to export all the information or is a subset of it ok?
Creating an index on the columns that your users interact with the most and then creating views that limit the returned results will be useful. This will then allow an export.

hi,
I have tried this out with a sample.
In WEBI preview mode and PDF, all axis labels will appear fine.
But when exported to excel, some labels will disappear.
Workaround: We have to increase the chart size in Excel till all axis labels appear clearly.
