Cross Tab Report...Calculated Column shows NULL

Hi there
I have one calculated field which is based on some calculation when I run my report in Discoverer Desktop I can see the 0 in NULL values in all rows.
But when I run this report in Discoverer Plus/Discoverer Viewer it shows me Null for some values or some values I can see the zeros.
I have checked the WorkBooks options its all set to 0.0.
1)
Edit---> WorkSheet Properties ---CrossTab Format ---Show Null values as 0.0
2)
Tools---> Options---> Sheet--->Show Null values as 0.0
3)
I have settings in Pref.txt which means Some reports I want to see the NULL values...
Pref.txt
NullValue = "NULL"
Do you have any idea..
Thanks
ASIM

Well, I don't really have an idea what is happening, but i have a solution to hide nulls.
You can create an exception on the columns.
when column_name = Null then change the forecolor to match with the backcolor.
This will make the text and box of same color and will hide nulls.
Cheers :)

Cross tab report-dyanamic columns for months and quarterly sum

Hi all,
I work on report creation in BI Publisher.I need to display values in a cross tab report in a way that it shows data for 3 months and then a column for its quarterly sum.
For ex:-
Market --Jan Feb Mar Q1_sum Apr May Jun Q2_sum ---------------like wise for n months
Market1 100 --80 --30 -- 210 --10 -- 80 --90 --210
Market2 120 --90 --40 --250 --100 --70 --30 --200
Market3 130 --70 --60 --260 --140 -- 0 --40 --180 ('--' just to maintain indentation)
The values of number of months( date range) and the names of market are derived dyanamically .
The code from my sql query presently shows months-range (Jan ,feb,mar..), Quarterly sum to be displayed, Market names etc as child elements in multiple occurences main Query set.
<Main Query>
<Market>abc</Market>
<Region>abc</Region>
<Months-Range>abc</Months-Range>
<Quarterly_sum>abc</Quarterly_sum>
<Main Query>
<Main Query>
</Main Query>
Please guide me on code in rtf template for the same.

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,
Gordon

Calculated column shows all zeros in cross tab discoverer report

Hi
I have a calculated column in a cross tab report which shows all zeros, but when i duplicate the report as 'table' the calculated colun is getting populated.
i did not understand why it is doing like that, are there any special privileges or any special settings required for creating a cross tab report.

Hi,
No there is no special privs for cross tab but there is an aggregation issue.
There are some methods of aggregations used in the discoverer.
First thing you can so is to make sure that in the cross tab sheet you use the detailed data points and that you are not combining different levels of aggregations (for example one amount in details and another one summed).
Second thing you can try is to change the aggregation for this worksheet, you can do that by going to the worksheet properties to the aggregation tab and try to change the settings.
Third thing is to check the pref.txt file in the application server and set "AllowAggregationOverRepeatedValues" to 1
BTW also search your data and find whether you got NULL values in the aggregated items, if so then wrap the data points with NVL function.

How to count number of columns in cross-tab report

I have created a cross-tab report and have managed to get the data out as below:
             Jan     Feb     Mar....(display of months will auto expand) Avg/Mo Total
UserA     4          3        4                                                                         11
UserB     6          1        1                                                                          8
UserC     5          5        5                                                                         15
Total       15        9        10                                                                        33
I want to insert a calculated column (Avg/Mo) into the cross-tab report based on the formula: Total/Number of Months. I used this calculation formula for Avg.Mo column:
(GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex+1, CurrentSummaryIndex)/GetNumColumns)
However, I get the wrong average since GetNumColumns count the total number of columns including the column of Avg/Mo and Total.
How do i get the number of columns, excluding the Avg/Mo calculated column and Total column?
PS: I can't use hardcode since the number of months/columns will auto expand the months progress...
Edited by: jutamind on May 26, 2010 9:27 AM

ok managed to solve this by slightly changing the formula:
GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex+1, CurrentSummaryIndex)/(GetNumColumns-2)

Dynamically color to each column in Cross-tab report

Hello All,
I am a newbie in Crystal report,from last few weeks, i am working on cross tab crystal report.i have a requirement to show color dynamically for each column.i am adding an attachment how i want it. i tried dynamic coloring using object field formula but it is showing red color to all data.i want red color data when in 2nd cross tab report data is beyond upper or lower limit in first cross tab table. it will be very helpful if somebody will give me any clue on this.... i read so many articles now it seem like impossible for me..:(
i am using visual studio 2010 and sap crystal report version 13.0.0.99 for visual studio 2010.

Hello Manish,
I have attached a sample report that does this. You will need to remove the .txt extension from the attached file to open it as an .rpt file.
Please right click on one of the value fields of the first cross tab in the report > Format Field > Common > Suppress if Duplicated conditional formula.
The nested formula is as follows;
numbervar array l;
numbervar array u;
numbervar x:=CurrentColumnIndex;
if GridRowColumnValue ('@limit') = 'lower limit' then
(redim preserve l[x];
l[x]:= tonumber(CurrentFieldValue))
else if GridRowColumnValue ('@limit') = 'upper limit' then
(redim preserve u[x];
u[x]:= tonumber(CurrentFieldValue));
false
So it assigns each lower and upper limit value for each client (in the sample it is country) to an array using the cross tabs column index to index the array and it ends in False as we don't actually want it to suppress if duplicated. This nested formula is just used to generate the arrays of upper and lower values.
In the second cross tab if you again right click on one of the value fields > Format Field > Font > Color you will see the following conditional formula;
numbervar array l;
numbervar array u;
numbervar x;
if not(tonumber(CurrentFieldValue) in l[CurrentColumnIndex] to u[CurrentColumnIndex]) then
crred
else
crblack
So this compaes the current field value to range generated by the 2 arrays and assigns a color based on whether or not it is in the range.

Graham

More than one summary column in cross tab reports

Hi,
I have a cross tab report. The summary column is SUM. I want to add another summary column next to SUM which will be AVG(Average) column.
Any ideas?
Please see the attached image.
Thanks,

hi Anurag,
my fault...i should have looked closer at your data.
here's the easy way of showing two sets of summaries at the end of a crosstab, without having duplicate columns.
1) copy your existing cross-tab and paste it to the right of your current cross-tab.
2) now go to the cross-tab expert of the new cross-tab and remove the fields from the Column dialogue
3) change the summary to an Average
4) exit the cross-tab expert and go to the Section Expert for the section where both cross-tabs are...ensure that you check Relative Positions
preview the report. now you'll have to move the 2nd cross-tab a bit so that it aligns properly with the first one.
as a sample, see the attached report. extract the contents and change the .txt extension to .rpt.

Unable to get cells for the columns which have no data in cross-tab report

Hi friends,
I am developing a cross-tab report.
Let's take an example to explain the problem.
Here is the XML file i am using
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
- <MODULE1>
- <LIST_G_SCHEMECODE>
- <G_SCHEMECODE>
<SCHEMECODE>171091</SCHEMECODE>
<AMOUNT>0</AMOUNT>
<ASSET_TYPE>Govt Guarantee</ASSET_TYPE>
<MARGIN>0</MARGIN>
<AMOUNT_SECURED>0</AMOUNT_SECURED>
<VALUE_OF_SECURITY>0</VALUE_OF_SECURITY>
</G_SCHEMECODE>
- <G_SCHEMECODE>
<SCHEMECODE>171091</SCHEMECODE>
<AMOUNT>0</AMOUNT>
<ASSET_TYPE>Loans To Govt</ASSET_TYPE>
<MARGIN>0</MARGIN>
<AMOUNT_SECURED>0</AMOUNT_SECURED>
<VALUE_OF_SECURITY>0</VALUE_OF_SECURITY>
</G_SCHEMECODE>
- <G_SCHEMECODE>
<SCHEMECODE>171093</SCHEMECODE>
<AMOUNT>0</AMOUNT>
<ASSET_TYPE>Govt Guarantee</ASSET_TYPE>
<MARGIN>120</MARGIN>
<AMOUNT_SECURED>0</AMOUNT_SECURED>
<VALUE_OF_SECURITY>0</VALUE_OF_SECURITY>
</G_SCHEMECODE>
- <G_SCHEMECODE>
<SCHEMECODE>171093</SCHEMECODE>
<AMOUNT>0</AMOUNT>
<ASSET_TYPE>Loans To Govt</ASSET_TYPE>
<MARGIN>0</MARGIN>
<AMOUNT_SECURED>0</AMOUNT_SECURED>
<VALUE_OF_SECURITY>0</VALUE_OF_SECURITY>
</G_SCHEMECODE>
- <G_SCHEMECODE>
<SCHEMECODE>*171095*</SCHEMECODE>
<AMOUNT>0</AMOUNT>
<ASSET_TYPE>Govt Guarantee</ASSET_TYPE>
<MARGIN>100</MARGIN>
<AMOUNT_SECURED>0</AMOUNT_SECURED>
<VALUE_OF_SECURITY>0</VALUE_OF_SECURITY>
</G_SCHEMECODE>
</LIST_G_SCHEMECODE>
</MODULE1>Now I want SCHEMECODE in rows and ASSET_TYPE in columns.
And the each ASSET_TYPE column is to be divided into 2 sub-columns (MARGIN,AMOUNT_SECURED).
I am able to achevie this.
The problem is that ,for the schemecode 171095, since there is no data for ASSET_TYPE "Loans To Govt",no cells are generated for this SCHEMECODE and ASSET TYPE.
But the requirement is to generate blank cells.
If needed i will send the template at xml files also.

try this, there must be simpler one i guess...
1. take a form field, and make its type as number. Paste the below one <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'v1',2)?>
2. now take a table with as below,
A l B |
C l D1 l D2 l E1 l E2 l
observe that i. A, C are in one column
ii. cell B is on top of D1, D2
iii. we have no cell on top of E1 and E2 cells
iv. 'l' represents the wall of the cell :)
A: <?horizontal-break-table:1?> SCHEMECODE
B: <?for-each-group@column:G_SCHEMECODE;ASSET_TYPE?> <?ASSET_TYPE?> <?end for-each?>
C: <?for-each-group:G_SCHEMECODE;SCHEMECODE?> <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'v1',2)?> <?SCHEMECODE?>
D1: <?for-each-group@cell:current-group();ASSET_TYPE?> <?MARGIN?> <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'v1',xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v1')-1)?>
D2: <?AMOUNT_SECURED?> <?end for-each?> <?end for-each?>
E1: <?for-each@column:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v1'),1)?>
E2: <?END FOR-EACH?>
3. If you are confused gimme your email id, i will pass the template. But you should add credits to me.. :)

Sorting by date in columns cross tab report.

Hi all,
I am working on a cross tab report in BI Publisher in which columns are generated dynamically in a pivot table depicting months as Jan 09 , Feb 09.... but data type is char.When displayed in pdf, columns are generated sorted alphabetically.
How can I have them sorted by date in final pdf?
or
How can I stop the columns being sorted in pivot table at template level?
Thanks.
Edited by: user9061488 on Jul 21, 2010 1:13 AM

You need to get a extra column in the query just for sorting purpose, which will have month number in it or YYYYMMDD. format, so that , it can be used in only for sorting.
with JAN 09, FEB 09 , we can do it, but it will be little complex

Any idea how to adjust the total column width?

Suppressing a prior Year Month Column on Cross Tab Report

I have two cross tab report in the footer that compares orders booked against what was shipped by month. I need to suppress the columns (Month) for the prior year but keep the Totals.
I have a pdf of the report

Try to add a formula as a column in the crosstab instead of a field. Create a formula like this
if year()=year(currentdate)-1 then
year()
else
month()
This works only for two years of data, means you need to have the record selection formula like this
year()>=year(currentdate)-1 and year()=year(currentdate)
