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.

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

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)?

Cross Tab calculation in Individual column-Crystal Report

Hi experts
I am preparing a report in Crystal report 2008. Report template is Cross Tab.
Structure of report is
Cardname-Row, DocType-Columnd, DocTotal-Summarize field.
Result of this report is
                      IN(Invoice)             RC(Incoming Payment)      Total
XYZ                    1000                  -500                                 500
ABC                    2000                 -1000                               1000
Total                   3000                  -1500                               1500
I have inserted a column using calculated member. I want to Calculate in that column with BP opening balance
eg. OCRD.Balance-DocTotal when I do this it give first value to all column rows, i.e (consider XYZ opng Balance is 1500, I have calculate month opening balance which meance Current Opening Balance-Current month Order bookings=Month opening balance)
          IN(Invoice)             RC(Inc Pmt)      Total   Opng Balance
XYZ       1000                  -500                  500     500
ABC      2000                 -1000                1000     500
Total      3000                  -1500                1500    500
I want to calculate Opng Balance for each CardName but it gives first Customers opning balance to all customers.
Give me solution.
Thanks in Advance

Hi
I think you can do calculation based on the formula .On the cross tab ,there is :
X -selection - row
Y - selection -column
Z - summary
You can also use formula on cross tab to do that function and insert into summary section .
Hope this helps .

Cross-tabs in Multiple Sub-reports

Post Author: Kiwi Jan
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I have created a crystal report which contains multiple detail sections (Da-Di). Each detail section contains a subreport, which contains a cross-tab.
I have done this because I need to create one excel spreadsheet which contains data from different types of cross tabs.
For example, one cross tab lists accounts and totals, the second lists accounts and totals by cost centre (17 of these), and a third lists accounts and totals by product group (11 of these).
I have lined up all the columns perfectly, and when I export to Excel (Data only), it works perfectly, and I get all the rows and columns of all the cross-tabs in one excel worksheet. Brilliant.
However, when I print, preview or export to pdf, I only see the "real" page and do not see any virtual pages that are shown in each of the sub-reports.
How can I print or view this from the main report and get the virtual pages as well, without stuffing up my export to excel?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kim,
What version on Crystal Reports are you using? If its CR 2008 then you can take advantage of the various gridvalue functions and the calculated member feature available.
Here's what you need to do:
1) In 'Preview' mode, right click the 1st col and select Calculated Member > Insert Column
2) This will insert a col after the 1st col. To make the newly added col appear 1st, right click on the top left corner of the crosstab and go to Advanced Calculations > Calculated Member
3) In the Properties area, set the Insert Evaluation to 'Before'
4) Now the new col would be the 1st col in the crosstab and it's values would be 0
5) You said you calculate the Billed Amount on some logic; you can apply the summarization logic by editing the calculation formula
6) Right click one of the 0 values in the new col and select Calculated Member > Edit Calculation Formula. Use the formula in this manner:
select Gridlabelat("Row",currentrowindex)
case "Job1" : 50
case "Job2" : 20
Default : 0
The function GridLabelAt() accepts 2 parameters: 1st is the name of the row. In this case it would be your database field name. Suppose your database field used as a row is called Customer.Country then the formula would be:
Gridlabelat("Customer.Country",currentrowindex)
You can use if-else instead of the select -case if you like, but this is where you need to apply the logic for billed amount.
At last, you'd notice that the Header for this col is blank. Just Right click the blank header and select Calculated Member > Edit Header formula and type in "Billed".
That's it! The grand totals for the row won't add the values from the calculated member.
Hope you get this working.

Cross tab report's -one column display total counts of previous financial year, one column current financial year

Hi
I'm using CR XI. I'm attempting to create a cross-tab report where:
           Added       Total
AF         12            23
F            15           30
CO         18           50
Where AF etc is the categoty of items, Added is the total count of previous finanical year(e.g. 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007), Total is the total account of current finanical year.
The count is based on created_date field(e.g. ITD.DTE -- ITD is the table, DTE is the field).
Although I can at the moment only display the value correctly in "Added" column, if I tried to display the Total column, the two columns always have the same value.
How could I achieve the above desired results by using fomula? I would appreciate it very much if anyone could help me with this?
Thanks in advance
JS

Create 2 formulas, 1 for the previous year and 1 for current, similar to the following;
1) if date({Orders.Order Date}) in date(2003,07,01) to date(2004,06,30) then 1 else 0
2) if date({Orders.Order Date}) in date(2004,07,01) to date(2005,06,30) then 1 else 0
Add both of these formulas as the summarized fields in the crosstab

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
Don

I am having a problem when i open a new tab with multiple images. If there is more than five or six images they won't all open.

I open emails with multiple images. The new version is having a problem opening a tab with more than maybe 6 or 7 images. Older versions sometimes had the same problem but the unopened images appeared on the page as a small blank box that you could try to reload. Not anymore. Now you have to reload the whole tab. Sometimes this works other times it doesn't.

You seem to be using a beta version. Maybe go back to a regular release and wait for V. 30 to become a regular release, and maybe whatever bug it is will be fixed.

ORA-1461 with multiple NVARCHAR2 columns

Hi,
I use version 10.2.0.1 version of ojdbc with an Oracle9i database and get ORA-1461 (can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column) when updating multiple NVARCHAR2 columns in the same table.
What is strange is:
if I set column1=value1 and column2 null it works
if I set column2=value2 and column1 null it works
But if i set column1=value1 AND column2=value2 I have this exception.
I assume that because using UTF8 I can have an exception for one column if less than 4000 because of nb bytes used by one character but can't understand why different columns sizes interact...
Database parameters :
NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     UTF8
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS     BYTE
NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP     FALSE (don't know if usefull)
Can anyone tell me out to make it work ?
I tried with driver 10.2.0.3 and have the same issue.
Thanks for your help.

Convert cross tab with 2 summarized fields to a chart

Greetings,
I have a simple cross tab containing a date row and 2 summarized fields. It looks like this (see Figure 1)
When I convert (insert) my cross tab into a stacked bar chart, I only get one of the summarized fields to show up on the chart. It looks like this (Figure 2)
Is there a way for me convert this cross tab into a stacked chart so that both of my summary fields appear?
Many Thanks!

OK... Thank you.
I was using the cross tab in hopes of controlling graph labels for months (Customize Group Name field) . What I was doing was converting dates to month verbiage (Sep, Oct, Nov, etc) so that the month verbiage would appear on my graphs instead of the numbers while still maintaining proper calendar order . (thanks for showing me this technique by the way as it works great). Too bad it does not work when there is more than one summary field (thanks for explaining its limitations... I had not told you that I was adding a second summary field).
Given that I have 1 row ( Date_discharge) that I need to display as months (verbiage) in calendar order
and
Given that there are 2 summary fields: Vaccine Indicator (a sum) and Birth_date_Baby (a count) ...
(I am contrasting # of vaccine's given against total babies per month in a monthly stacked bar chart)
Is there a way to display 2 summary fields on a stacked bar graph grouped by month (where the month is listed in alpha format, (Sep, Oct, Nov, etc.) but still sorted by its calendar value? My initial attempts to do this in a graph (without a cross-tab) would display the month verbiage just fine, but it would order my months alphabetically.
Thanks again for your suggestions!

Filling cells of a cross tab with zero if null

Hi All,
I am using Deski 5.1.
We have a cross-tab, that show sales data like below for each week id and store.
Week_ID   Store1 Store 2 Store3
12             100                    150
13                          100       180
14              200      250       250
When there is no sales for a store in a week, the cross tab is showing a null in the cell. Can I show that as Zero using some formula?
Kindly help.
Warm Regards,
Chandran KCS.

Hi Chandran,
In a crosstab you can have cells that are not even null, but simply no data exists for that cell.
That combination of dimension objects is not in the database.
In this case you can use format cell to get a zero in these cells.
Right click the cell and from the Format Cell submenu, choose a number format,
then add a 0 (zero) under the heading undefined.
Now all empty cells will show as zero.
Good luck,
Marianne

Cannot get multiple tabs with multiple web pages

Hi, My plain vanilla firefox browser in Win 8 has stopped giving me multiple tabs when I access more than 1 web url. Before say I access 5 sites, then for each site I get 5 tabs so I can easily switch between web pages. Now they all appear under 1 tab only. Ticking the box in Tools/Options/Tabs/open new window in a new tab instead, doesn't work...very frustrating....any ideas? Many thanks

I'm not sure I understand the change, so let me mention a few things and you can reply with comments and clarifications.
How are you directing links to new tabs: do you use one of these methods?
* right-click > Open Link in New Tab
* Ctrl+left-click
* middle-click (using a mouse scroll wheel)
Other issues:
* Is Firefox's tab bar not showing or behaving strangely? (Please describe in more details if applicable.)
* If the problem is that the Windows Task Bar is not working the way it used to, check the ''last'' setting on the Tabs panel of the Options dialog: "Show tab previews in the Windows Taskbar" to see whether that is what got turned off.
* If the problem is that Google results used to automatically open in a new tab but now they open in the same tab, you need to select "new window" in Google search preferences: https://www.google.com/preferences

A simple question about wrong sorting with multiple sort columns in Excel 2010

Hi, everyone! I have encountered a problem that I don't know how to explain.
So I post it here because I don't know if there is another more relevant forum...
I have a data sheet with the students' scores for the course.
All the data were generated with the randbetween function,
and pasted with the values.
To rank the students by their performance,
I did the sort with the column "total score" as the first sort-column
and "final term" as the second.
The weird thing to me is that the order of the data seems problematic.
That is, all the rows are sorted correctly with the first sort-column.
But for the rows with the same values of the first sort-column,
there are some rows whose values of the second sort-column are out of order.
(please look at the data file at
www_dot_kuaipan_dot_cn/file/id_67204268108546068_dot_htm
Please change the "_dot_" to the real literal dot.
Especially the rows with 56.7 as the first sort-column value
and some other values near the tail of the list.)
I tried to manually input and sort the same values of both columns
in a near-by region. The result was correct.
When some friend copied all the data to paste in Notepad,
and reload them in excel. The problem disappears.
Some friend also tried to wrap a round function at the values of the 1st sort-column,
the sorting order became correct!
But they could not explain why either.
How confusing! I even tried to swap the first and secod sort-column;
the output was right.
All the data were generated by randbetween function and pasted with values.
Where could all the special characters, if any, come?
Can anyone give me an explanation? I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Sort is not in proper order
Sounds as if the data includes spaces or hidden characters that are affecting the sort.
That is indicated by the fact that manually entering the data resolves the problem.
Note: You can use a public file storage website to hold your file and add the link to it in your post.
