Crystal Parameter With Select Expert

Using Crystal XI WITH SQL 2005, I need to create an option to select items which have a value >0 in IV00101.USCATVLS_2. If value is blank I do not want the items in the report. The field is renamed 'DISC' and the values in the field represent discounted prices. Any help would be great. Thanks, Jayne

Hi Jayne,
Create a formula like @value
Numbervar x:
x:=IV00101.USCATVLS_2; and use this formula under Record selection like
Disc > @value
If this is not the answer, please explain us what exactly is the report having and where the field is renamed.
Thanks,
Sastry

Crystal Rpt XI - Select Expert record limits

Newbie here - please be gentle
There appears to be @ a 500 record limit that can be used in the formula editor. Is there a way to work around this limit or is it greater in later versions?
Example;
{Mrpa99.Pat_Ext_ID} in ["0001400126", "0001401652", "0001402718", "0001402742",......... , "0001665341"]
would return 'TOO MANY RECORDS' if I had all my desired record sets (@ 700), but if I removed half it would work fine.
If there is no way to get all values in a single report is there a way to merge the results into a single report.
Thanks in advance,
Cj

First try to push down this filter to DB level if possible, this will improve your report performance.
Try creating 2 or more formulas that contain those long string separately.
and write below codes in your select expert: {Mrpa99.Pat_Ext_ID} in formula1 or in formula2 or in ...formulaN.
Thx, Hao

Crystal Report - Title from Select Expert.

Hi Experts !
I need some help here. Recently I have build a new crystal on the production analysis. Part of the select expert for record is between posting date A and posting date B.
Below is the code I uesd for the select expert whereby Posting Date 1 is a parameter with range that I have defined.
{ODLN.DocDate} = {?Posting Date1}
I am interested to have this 2 date from the parameter to appear on my report. For example :
Date: A date till B date.
I have tried picking up this data from the parameter, but failed to get what I want. Anyone have syntax for this ??
Best Regards,
Alex

Hi Gordon,
Yeah, I know the syntax to do this. The real problem lies as I have stated on my first post - I want the date that I have entered on the parameter during the filtering process, to appear on the report itself. I have tried it before, but all that appears is only True value, not date.
So If, I am about to use two parameter date instead of parameter range with selection expert, will I be able to pull the two parameter date into the report, so that I can print it out with the date on the report itself. It's important for the report to have date because not everyone knows the report is from when to when.
Best Regards,
Alex

'select expert' option is not filtering data in CR, in VS2012

,Hi,
We have a VB VS2005 crystal report application , is working good with ' select expert ' option for filtering data in side crystal report. When we are migrated the application to VS2012, the application is not filtering the data inside crystal report. I could see the 'select expert ' options and Formula editor code in VB 2012 exactly same as VB 2005. But, there is no data filtering in Crystal Report. Please help. We are using Crystal report developer version for VS2012. My formula editor code inside CR 'select expert' is {REPORT.CODE} in ["3102", "4010"]

Hi George
Please see if KBA 1204895 - Selection formula is ignored when using Crystal Reports 2008 and VS .NET 2005 helps to resolve the issue.

Crystal 2008 problem with Record Select Expert

I had a Crystal 10 report that worked fine where the Record Select Expert had a database table ID equal to a parameter... it was only supposed to report on 1 record. After using Crystal 2008 on the same report it completely ignores this Select Record Expert setting. I have tried deleting and re-adding the parameter. It acts like there is no record select setting.
Here is the formula that it shows me it is using: {Components.ID} = {?@ID}
If I go to the application opening the same record on a different machine using the old crystal, it works fine.
This used to only show me the 1 record, now it shows me the report on every record in the table. I tried upgrading the report to a 2008 report and it still does the same thing. The report filter no longer works. Do I need to do something different to select only 1 record in 2008 ?
After installing Crystal 2008 on my computer none of my reports work correctly anymore - all of them are ignoring my Record Select ...they worked fine before I installed 2008. The reports are older reports... they worked fine when I had Crystal XI R2 installed. This all started after installing Crystal 2008
Thanks,
Jeff
Edited by: Jeff Dressing on Aug 27, 2008 12:06 PM

Hello, Jeff;
I noticed the Record Selection Formula uses a Stored Procedure parameter:
{Components.ID} = {?@ID}
A parameter created in the report (not by a stored procedure) would be:
{Components.ID} = {?ID}
A report based on a Stored Procedure does not need a Selection formula for the Stored Procedure parameter. Connecting to the Stored Procedure automatically creates the parameter in the report and the value is passed automatically when the report is run.
Does the report work in the Crystal Reports 2008 designer?
Open the report in the designer. Go to Database Set Datasource location. Are the properties of the database at runtime still the same as what is saved in the report.
If the database is different at runtime, just as a test, change to the new database in a copy of your original report. Do a Database|Verify Database. Does it come back the "Database is uptodate" or are there changes?

Crystal Reports XI: Using Wilcards with the Select Expert

I have a field with 10 numbers. There are several of them that start with three numbers and end in all zeros. I want to make sure these are not in my report. I have been successfully able to do this using the select expert, but it requires a lot of manual entry:
{@Phone Number} <> "4090000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "2810000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "8320000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "5120000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "9999999999" and
{@Phone Number} <> "9760000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "9360000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "6010000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "8150000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "7130000000"
I need to find a way to do this without having to enter each code by itself. I tried using a wilcard, but it appears that I am not using it correctly.
{@Phone Number} <> "***0000000"
Please help. Thanks!

Nevermind Just needed a simple:
not ({@Phone Number} like "*0000000")

JRC bug: apostrophe in string parameter passed to Crystal Report with Command datasource to SQL Server

Post Author: nl11087
CA Forum: JAVA
A single quote/apostrophe in string parameter passed to a Crystal Report with Command datasource connecting to a SQL Server database, using sqljdbc driver does not escape the special character correctly. When doing a preview in the Crystal Reports IDE it allows you to escape the input parameter as expected and work correctly, but through the JRC component it fails. For string parameters without special sql server characters I experience no problems at all. When replacing the Command with a direct table there is also no problem.
Reproduction:
1. create a database db1, create a table table1 with a String type column col1.
2. Create new report Report1.rpt, create a connection to above, Add Command using 'SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1 WHERE col1 = '{?Par1}' . Add a parameter field Par1 : String
3. In your java stand alone application using JRC add the parameter Par1 with a value "Jon Doe's Value" containing a single apostrophe. Export to PDF. (I also tried MSWord and this failed too, similar behavior). Additionally, in another test try to replaceAll("'","''") to escape it, preventing the code to break, but now it does not retrieve the expected row anymore and you end up with an empty report.

Does BOXI support crystal reports with parameter references in formulas?

I am designing a report in Crystal Reports XI Developer that contains parameters, which are passed to a stored procedure and are also used within formulas ( in Crystal Syntax ie. {?FORMAT_ID} ) in the report itself.
I can run the report successfully in CRXI Developer. The formulas use the correct values from the parameters entered during execution and everything looks good.
I then deploy the report to Business Objects Enterprise XI. I do all of the things necessary to manage the report including setting up the proper database connection information and default parameter values.
When I run the report using the Crystal Report Viewer, I get the following error message:
Error in File Forecasting.rpt:
Error in formula <Report Format>.
'if (not isNull({?FORMAT_ID} ) ) then
This field name is not known.
Details: errorKind
This happens when I press the "Preview" button in the Manage Object dialog from Crystal or when I run the report using InfoView.
I have changed the formulas and it doesn't seem to matter what the specific content of the formula is; other than the existence of a parameter reference in the formula. If I comment out the parameter and replace it with a hard-coded value, it gets through the formula fine.
Does Business Objects Enterprise XI support crystal reports with parameter references in the formulas?
Thanks,
Tim H.

Hi,
In Crystal Reports under File -> Report Options >check convert Null Values to default > Verify on first refresh > Verify stored procedures on first refresh.
This corrected the issue by allowing the query engine time to locate those columns and map them to the query being sent by the report.
The convert null values was added because those field were being used in the record selection and grouping.

*help* Select Expert (filters) in crystal

problem with crystal....
i need help in the following situation. when i go to create a report i go to select expert, then click on category and select say copper fittings. boom i get a list of all my copper fittings. my design sheet is set up so that it shows the item number, description, quantity on hand, and quantity sold. now when i go to select expert again and choose say date transfer of an item...put in my dates( 1/1/2009-1/3/2009)... boom the list refreshes and this list is now shorter than my original list and it shows me the items that have transfered during that period of time as well as the quantity... well my question is what happened to all the other items that were in the list before??? i understand that they are no longer there because they did not transfer during that period of time, so it doesnt show them... well i still want those items to show up with the rest that did transfer... so that way i can see what transferred and what dint all in one list... i keep trying different things but keep running into the same problem... does anyone know of a solution for this???
thanks...appreciate any help

thank you very much for your advice,
unfortunately my problem has not really been resolved.
when i did as you said.. in crystal, all i wanted was my copper list... but when i put the "or" in, it included all the other pieces in my inventory not "just" my copper.
heres what i had before:
{VIEWITEMMOVEMENT.DATETRANSFERRED} in Date (2009, 01, 01) to Date (2009, 06, 11) and
{Category.Name} = "COPPER FITTINGS"
now if i were to take out the: {VIEWITEMMOVEMENT.DATETRANSFERRED} in Date (2009, 01, 01) to Date (2009, 06, 11) and
then all i get are my copper fittings and that ends up being like say 10 pages long... but then i put in my the date transferred... to view the items that moved and see how much of each was sold during that time. the list then gets smaller to about 5 pages and shows me the items that moved and the quantities that were sold but at the same time i still want it to show the other items that did not move on the same list... i dont want them to be taken out...like its doing it now.
hope this explains my situation a lil better... i appreciate your help, thanks

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?

Hi,
I am a new user of Crystal Reports 2008.
I have created a report with charts in it. The input data comes from a csv text file.
Can I set the name of this text file as an input parameter?
as I need to generate 44 similar reports with different text filenames(and data)?
Thank you.
Regards

Brian,
Thanks much.
I did exactly what you said.
Just to see any change, I first gave a bad report file name just to see if I am accidentally pointing to a different file,
but I got an error saying report not found.
Then I renamed my original datafile name and generated a report and it still generated one without giving an error.
Then I also gave a junk name to the logoninfo and printed that name, the new name was assigned to logoninfo, but the code did not error out.
It ended up generating the report.
Now here is what I think is happening,
1) The save data in report option seems to be still on even though I have turned it off in 2 locations
a) file -> Report Options
b) file -> Options -> Reporting tab.
2) For some reason the logoninfo is getting ignored as well.
Since I did not see any answers yesterday I posted a link to this thread on the .Net forum
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#
and Ludek Uher says that I am connecting to the text file via a DAO database engine and so need to use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database.
But the link he gave me tells me to try the same thing that we have been trying..
Here is my plan,
1) I will first try and find out why my save data with report option is still on ( but it shows off in Crystal ).
2) why is LogonInfo getting ignored.
Meanwhile any suggestions from anyone are welcome.

Multiple select parameter with each selected value covering multiple sub values

Hello, everyone,
In my SSRS report, I need to set a multiple select parameter called Group, with values: group1 group2, etc....
When group1 is selected, it needs to apply to data of certain sub groups: sub-group1, sub-group2;
When group2 is selected, it needs to apply to data of different sub groups: sub-group3, sub-group4 and sub-group5;
when both group1 and group2 are selected, then, it needs to apply to data of sub-group1 to sub-group5.
I know how to do it when only one group is selected: simply use a case statement in the query to select the right sub groups based on the group selected.
But I don't know a good way to do it when multiple groups are selected.
Any help, pointers are much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Regards

Hi QQFA,
If I understand correctly, there are two parameters (Group and Sub_group) in the report. When we select group1 in Group parameter, it will auto select sub-group1, sub-group2 in the Sub_group parameter; when we select group2 in Group parameter, it will auto
select sub-group3, sub-group4 and sub_group5 in the Sub_group parameter; when we select both all, it will auto select all sub_group values. If I have misunderstood, please don't hesitate to let me know.
In this scenario, we can create a temporary table with Group and Sub_group columns, then select Sub_group column values based on the Group field. For more details, please see:
Create a dataset with the query below:
CREATE TABLE #temp([group] nvarchar(50),sub_group nvarchar(50))
INSERT INTO #temp VALUES ('group1','sub-group1'),('group1','sub-group2'),('group2','sub-group3'),('group2','sub-group4'),('group2','sub-group5')
SELECT * FROM #temp
where [group] in (@Group)
Set available values and default values of Sub_group parameter with get values from the sub_group field in the new dataset.
Note that the two parameters are all multiple parameters.
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

There is a time limit of 5 seconds by default. All values fetched within 5 seconds will be displayed. If you want to increase the time limit or the number of records fetched then you will have to modify the registry keys as described in this KBase article.

Select expert - 'A string is required here'

Post Author: greg_zen
CA Forum: Formula
Hi All,
in select expert I put code like below:
1)
'{sp.ContractNo} like {?ContractNo}'
          where ?contractNo is a parameter declared as a 'string'
It worked fine with Crystal Enterprise 10 SP3
After coping all reports and stored procedures to another server and installing SP6 for Crystal Enterprise 10 it stopped working.No idea why.
So I tried to replace select formula like this:
2)
if cstr({?ContractNo})="" or cstr({?ContractNo})="*" or IsNull({?ContractNo}) then True
first I used it without cstr function but after running there was always 'A string is required here' error message. Adding cstr didn't helped. Still the same.
Original select was based on 'like' keyword to make it possible to enter starting character or just a part of string.
As because users in most cases want to select data for all Contracts, select 2) was acceptable or at least I wanted to see anything. No way,
still the same error 'A string is required here' during the runtime.
Any idea what's going on ?
I'd appreciate any suggestions and comments.
Regards,
greg_zen

For your first formula, why not try with wildcards and see if it works, since you mentioned that the intent was for the user to enter a part of a string?
Try one of these:
{sp.ContractNo} like {?ContractNo} & '*'     // for any number of characters
{sp.ContractNo} like {?ContractNo} & '?'    // for a single character
For the second (re-write) formula, make sure that the NULL condition is always checked first.
if IsNull({?ContractNo}) or cstr({?ContractNo})="" or cstr({?ContractNo})="*" then True
