Hi,

Now as you can see column one is year and column 2 below is type.
The types 1 and 2 are taken from the type column in the database.
Now i want to have next the 1 and 2 type a third column with values from a different database column.
But when i add this third column CR insert the column another level below. But i need this on the same level as type.
Is that possible? How can i achieve this?

Crystal 8.5, crosstab date columns

I need to set up a report that will print columns for each year. I am able to do this without problem for calendar year but the client has indicated they wish to run it on fiscal year or calendar year and based on any year-end date. So for the simple example of a fiscal year ending Sep 30 of each year:
They wish to run the report based on a parameter selection and if they select calendar year, no problem. However, if they select the fiscal year option then each column's data should be based on dates for each year starting Oct 1 of one year and ending Sep 30 of the next year eg. Oct 1, 2006 ending Sep 30, 2007 for one column, Oct 1, 2007 ending Sep 30, 2008 for the next and Oct 1, 2008 ending Sep 30, 2009 for the last if there is three year's data in the database.
I have not asked the question because I am afraid of the answer but I am sure they will ask for each of the last 12 months ending "enter a date here" which could be May 31. So then the report would have to pull Jun1 of one year to May 30 of the next year and put everything into columns.
I think a crosstab is best here but I may have to group by category and manually calculate totals based on standard set of years and put the totals in the group footer. However, I don't think I should have to do this if a crosstab can do the work.
I am just not sure how to approach this one so any ideas are appreciated. TIA rasinc

How to? Suppress Crosstab Total column, based on condition, Please help!

Hi All,
Please give an advice on the following:
My problem I have an item stock and value by depo by region report, with the following structure:
http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/5289/ctab.jpg
Row 1 is Items
Column 1 is region, has six values (value 1->6), but its grouped in specified order like: value 1, value 2, other (all other values as one, with the name of "other")
Column2 is depo.
I need to hide the sum next to depo (highlited whit thin red on the pic), but only where column 1 (region) is "other".
i tried useing suppress, and conditional highlighting (its acceptable if the column is made blank by useing white as text color)
if GridRowColumnValue("Region") = "other"
Region is set for the Column1 grouping as alias in Crosstab expert.
I usualy get the error: "This is not a name for a grid group for the field being formated."
or if it's no error in it, it simply stays on the form.
What am I missing? Is it even possible to do this?
Thank you, for all of your help in advance.
Regards,
Daniel

The only way to suppress a "column" is to not pull that data.
You can turn the column header white as well - highlight with
if CurrentFieldValue="your value" then white else black
or
CurrentFieldValue="your value" // conditional suppression

Combine Columns From Separate Arrays Into One Formatted Table

What I'm trying to do is make two WMI queries with 2 different classes for a list of machines and then patch the columns together into one single array that is formatted as a table with columns and rows. I seem to keep banging my head against the wall and
I can't help but feel that the answer is simple. I can certainly create an array that contains all 3 columns (such as in the commented out part) but no matter which angle I go at it, it always seems to end up as all the data in one single row in each column
rather than a nicely formatted table. I've even tried constructing separate custom objects and adding the different objects to the array but that's obviously not working. Below is the code of the last thing I tried. I need someone to bash it to death and tell
me the (most likely obvious) thing that I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

Combining columns of multiple files in one file

I have several hundred text files that contain a lot of information. Each file has 3 columns (the first two are the same for all the files).
I need to merge the third column of all the files in a new file. And insert a column header with the name of the file from where the column belongs.
The txt files with the three columns like this:
-118.33333333333279 40.041666666667908 11.409999847412109

Is this possible? I can't find a way to do so. Please help!!!
Pepo

You say you have several hundred files with 3 columns of data in them. You want to take out the 3rd column from each file and create a new file that contains all the 3rd columns.
This seems to imply the output file will have several hundred columns in it. Is that correct?

Combining Column and Line charts

I'm trying to put together a composite graph, consisting of
both LineSeries and Column Series, for a financial page. I'm
rendering the entire graph inside of a ColumnChart. However, when
multiple points for the lineseries are close together, the
mouse-over only displays a single dataTip. When working in a
LineChart, multiple dataTips are displayed for any points close
together or on top of each other; is there any (preferably simple!)
way to replicate that functionality in a ColumnChart?
Thanks!

And to make it even more fun, I just know discovered that
interpolateValues="false" does not seem to function properly within
a columnChart. Does anyone know a workaround for this
problem?

WebI 4.0 Combined Column Chart Customization

Hi,
Is there a way to customize the cobined column chart if I have 3 metrics and I want to specify different colors for each metric.
Metric 1 - Bar - Blue color
Metric 2 - Line - Red Color
Metric 3 - Bar - Green color
Is this do able in WebI. we are on SP 7 for Webi 4.0 and using SAP Bex Query.
Please advice.
Thanks

Hi,
Custom palette colours in Webi 4.0 are tricky, but possible.
From here: http://www.pieterverstraeten.com/blog/custom-color-palette-sap-bo-bi-40-bi4-change-analysis-crystal-webi-house-style/
Open C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\images\VisualizationConfig.template.xml
Save the file as VisualizationConfig.xml
Edit the colours as you please.
Save the file.
Restart Tomcat.
Yeah, a tomcat restart to change colours. I'm sure this will be tidied up in a future version.

Combining column data

Hi Guys,
I am building a dashboard with data from 2 relational data sources.
The objects present in the query are - "Project Type", "Dept Name" & "No.of Projects".
There are 4 project types - A & B from Universe 1 and C &D from Universe 2.
Each "Project Type" has data for Dept Name & No. of Projects. For e.g.
Dept Name
No. of Projects
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Some "Project Type" may have more departments than the other.
Now, I am trying to get the total no of projects for all Project Types (a single value) and display this in my dashboard.
I already have the individual data for each "Project Type" in my dashboard. Could anyone please help me achieve this?

Hi Jeewan,
What i got from your detail is that you want the sum of all the projects of all project types..right?
I guess it can be done with simple SUM function.
Kindly reply if the requirement is something else.

Combine 2 different list columns and showning in 1 column

Hi,
Is it possible to combine columns of 2 different lists and show in one column?
I have a custom list called "Levels" which contain data like "Developer", "Tester". The levels have some training associated. Training is another column.
I have another custom list called "Project", which contain "project name" and also some training for each project. Training is another column.
I have another list in which i have user names which contain the level and project name columns as look up.
I want to show all the trainings attached to the user in another list in a single column.
Example: If user is a developer and part of project A, then column named training should show all the developer training and the project related training.
Note: custom coding is not possible.
How to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi,
For your issue, you can combine 2 different list columns into one cloumn using SharePoint Desinger Workflow with update list item action:

Display columns for Null Values in Crosstab

Hi All,
I have developed a crosstab in CR based on SAP BW Query. Report requirement demands to display all columns even though data is not present for those columns. However this report doesn't show the columns when there is no data. Can you please help to resolve this issue !!!
Regards,
Samir

Samir,
As Abhilash stated, the crosstab rows/columns are like groups.
If you do not have a value to create a column, it will not show in the crosstab. Do you have a table that lists all the values you wish to show in the columns? Is it used in the report? Perhaps you can use it to create the columns by using a left outer link from the table with all the values to data table you are reporting on, and use it for your columns
If the columns are dates, and you do not have data for a particular date, that can be done.
[This post has a solution for a SQL server|How to dynamically create a table to join with;.
[Here is another solution|Generating Calendar Months for the year;.
There are other posts regarding this issue. I can not think of one at the moment for building a table for values other than a date but I am pretty sure I have seen one.

Formatting Crosstab Columns

Hello. I am new to Discoverer and I had a question about formatting crosstab (outline) columns. The first column lists our employee names, while the subsequent columns have different pieces of information from the employees' expense reports (ie- lodging, transportation, etc). When drilling-down to obtain additional information (ie- destination), there is some blank destination information (showing as a "0'), that I want to format. Here is an example of what the report looks like:
Employee Transportation Lodging Meals
JOE SMITH $100 $200 $100
Miami, FL $50 $75 $25
Atlanta, GA $0 $75 $50
*0* $50 $50 $25
Is there a way to format just the employee/drill-down column to read as N/A instead of '0' without affecting any $0 data in the other columns?
I also tried to create a condition to replace any 0(null) information with something else, but the condition did not work. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you,
Erik

Sorry, tried that. It formats all of the columns to the same null value of "N.A." So, the $0 example shown above would show up as "N.A.", which I don't want.
I want to get the null drill-down (destination) data to show up as "N.A.", while keeping the rest of the columns as a "0" value for anything null.
Thanks,
Erik

Crosstab column formatting

I'm creating a crosstab report with a Current Year & a Last Year column. I've added 2 calculated columns to show a variance $ and a variance % between current & last year.
I have no problem coming up with the results. My dilemma is to format the 2 added columns as currency and percentage. When I try to change the percentage column's format to percent, all other columns in the crosstab also change to percent.
Can someone out there tell me if there's a way to create 2 different formats for the 2 added columns? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you very much for your help. I've been struggling with this issue for quite sometime.

Hi Fione,
Here's what you need to do:
1) Assuming that the datatype of the field used in the 'column' of the Crosstab is 'Date', right-click the 'Variance $' header cell > Select Calculated Member > Edit ColumnValue Formula and use this code:
Cdate(1890,01,01)
2) To the same for the % column however, use this code:
Cdate(1890,01,02)
3) Right-click one of the summary cells in the 'Variance $' column > Format Field > Number tab > Customize > Currency Symbol tab > Check 'Enable Currency Symbol' > Click the formula button beside 'Position' and use this code:
if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,01) then
crLeadingCurrencyInsideNegative
else if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,02) then
crTrailingCurrencyOutsideNegative
4) Click the formula button beside 'Currency Symbol' and use this code:
if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,01) then
"$"
else if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,02) then
else ""
Note: In both the formulae above, replace "Date_field_used_in_column" with the database field you've used in the crosstab's column. The double quotes ARE NEEDED and make sure to remove any parenthesis that CR automatically addds when you add a database field in the formula editor.
Let me know how this goes.

Combine 2 specific column values into one column

Is there an easy solution to combine column values that is in a group?
In my report I have 1 column group named Activity_Area which has 5 different values Activity 1, Activity2...Activity5.
Let's say I want to merge Activity 4 and Activity 5 and call it ActivityX and gives me the output as below
Activity 1 | Activity 2 | Activity 3 | ActivityX

Hi Jhonny86,
According to your description, you create a field in database and it contains five values. Then you want to only display four values in report column group, and the last two values should be replaced by “ActivityX”, right?
In your scenario, you can create an table like below:
create table Act(id int,activity varchar(99))
insert into Act select 1,'Activity 1'
insert into Act select 2,'Activity 2'
insert into Act select 3,'Activity 3'
insert into Act select 4,'Activity 4'
insert into Act select 5,'Activity 5'
Then query the table with code like below in query designer, then add the field [Act] into the column group.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
