Crystal Report Fields Ungrouping

I am working with existing crystal report and at the moment I am totally helpless to un-group two fields added in Text object.
  Basically I want to add formula to one of the embedded field and I can not select that, below is the image
Here you can see two fields are embedded in a Text control, I wanted to select the Top (Extra_Merch_Desc...) field, Kindly help in this regards.
I have done this so far.
Select the required field(s)
From the Format menu select the Format Field option
Click on the Font Tab
Press the [x+2] button to the right of the Size drop down
Enter the following formula:  IF Len({Customer.Customer Name})>15 Then 8 else
IF Len({Customer.Customer Name}) in 10 to 15 Then 9 else 10
Press the Save and Close button
Reference Link
I have double clicked the Text box and found two options :
Text Formatting...
Format Embedded Field...
When I do modify the Formula and "Save & Close Option Press" , it saves and I can see Formula in the Formula box, but after exiting from Formatting Box next time that formula disappears.
Below is the formula for the font change:
if Length({myfield}) < 50
  then 16
else if ((Length({myfield}) >= 50) AND (Length({myfield}) < 80 ))
  then 13
else if ((Length({myfield}) >= 80) AND (Length({myfield}) < 100 ))
  then 11
else
  10

Hi Qadeer,
Have you tried this:
1) Drag and drop the first field on the report
2) Right click the field and insert the formatting formula
3) Do the same for the next field
4) Insert a text object and place these two fields in the text object.

  • Crystal Reports Field Explorer not showing

    Hi,
         I am using Visual Studio 2003 with the bundled version of Crystal Reports.  It has always worked fine until recently the Field Explorer tool bar does not show up anymore when I open a Crystal Report for development.  I have uninstalled the entire Visual Studio and reinstalled the Visual Studio but it still will not show the Crystal Reports Field Explorer.  However, if I install the Visual Studio on a completely different computer it works fine.  Anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem on my main computer?  Could it be a setting somewhere in the Visual Studio?  I cannot find any information on this problem.
    Thanks,

    Ok, I figured out what the problem was.  It was something wrong in my Windows profile.  So I deleted my Windows profile and created a new one and it is working now.

  • Crystal Reports Field Loop

    Hi Guys,
    I want to add a field in my report, by the name of week number.
    Obviously I need it to repeat 52 times in either the details or group header section.
    So I created a formula field with a loop, and I want it to print out from 1 to 52 (i.e. there will be 52 detail sections, from 1 all the way to 52).
    This is the code I got now:
    Local NumberVar i;
    For i := 1 to 52 Do
       If i <= 52 Then
          {@Week Number} = i
          Exit For
       End If
    Next I
    Its not working, saying that the remaining text does not appear part of the formula (highlighting from "Exit For" line).
    Any help or alternative ways I can get this done?
    Thanks
    Regards
    Dario

    Hi There
    Please try this
    Local NumberVar i;
    For i := 1 to 52 Do

  • Crystal report field in Infoview with hyperlink to .exe needs to pass param

    I believe I have exhausted my searching and could not find an answer to this.
    I have a CR that will eventually need to be published in InfoView.  One of the fields has a hyperlink that points to a .exe.
    The problem is that I need to have CR pass the data in the field as a command line parameter, but InfoView is treating the formula I used to generate the hyperlink as one link, so of course "the address could not be found". The .exe is on a network share drive.
    This works fine in CR stand alone, but not in InfoView.
    If the answer is obvious I apologize.  I just began using both of these apps a month ago.
    Thank you in advance for any information/help.

  • Using Crystal Report Data Connection in Xcelcius 2008

    The documentation does not explain how data to populate row, column and details is passed to SWF.
    Can some-one please point how CR Data Connection when created in Xcelcius 2008 is used in Crystal Report Design time ? Is it through Flash variables? Basically more details are needed for "when setup properly" clause. How to map Crystal Reports Fields to Xcelcius Definitions.
    Thanks
    Harish Tejwani
    From Doc:
    "With the release of Crystal Reports 2008, it is now possible to embed an Xcelsius-generated SWF file into a Crystal Report and have the SWF consume data from that report. When set up properly, refreshing the data in your Crystal Report will update the embedded SWF.
    To configure your Xcelsius SWF to consume data from its Crystal Rport source data, you must open the Data Manager in Xcelsius and add a new Crystal Report Data Consumer connection. After adding the connection, bind the following ranges to your spreadsheet:  Row Headers, Column Headers, Data"
    "Using Crystal Reports 2008, embed the SWF file into the Crystal Report source data file. When designing your Crystal Report, you will determine what fields/data populate the Row Headers, Comumn Headers, and Data ranges that were designated in your Xcelsius SWF. When set up properly, refereshing your Crystal Report will also refresh the data being sent to and consumed by the embedded SWF. See"

  • Crystal Report on BW Query

    Hello,
    Weu2019re on BI 7, Crystal Report 2008 V1 and SAP Integration Kit 3.1.
    Query is created in BEx Query Designer, with Variable. In Crystal Report, I have set to use the MDX driver u2013 recommended by SAP.
    I have created the Crystal Report on top of this BW Query. When I click on Preview, I have Variable screen appeared. I have 5 Variables on the screen:
    1) I noticed that we MUST enter the value into the Variable (all of them) else I got nothing to display on the screen. Why? The Variable is configured as u201COptionalu201D in the BEx Query.
    2) I have entered the specific value for the Varible i.e. Product = A001, but I still have other Product being display on the screen. Why?
    3) And I dont see to have the option to select all value (*) for each of these Variable. Why?
    4) In Crystal Report ->Field Explorer ->Parameters, I can see that the Variables defined in BEx Query is there. What can we do with these Paramaters?
    Please advise, thank you.

  • Field Explorer in Crystal Reports does not show the same names as Bex Query

    Hi
    I have crystal reports, I can retrieve data from BW Bex Query. But in the field explorer it does not show the names as in the Bex query designer.
    In the Bex query designer a field will have the following technical name 0Debitor and the description is Customer.
    It shows in crystal reports in the field explorer twice as D[0DEBITOR]D and D[0DEBITOR]D. It also does not seperate key figures and characteristics.
    I would like it to display the field explorer as shown in this blog.

    Hi,
    take a look here:
    /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
    make sure you are using the MDX Driver and what happens is that you will see several fields per characteristic. example: one for the key, one for the description, several if modelled for the display attributes

  • Fields missing while printing crystal reports !!

    Hello everyone
    I have a crystal report application in VB.NET 2005, which gets the values of a field from the database and supports printing of the report in the following formats
    1. pdf
    2. directly to a printer - printout
    When i export the report using reportdocument to pdf , all the fields are getting printed : Normal - As expected
    But when i print the report directly using PrintToPrinter method,i am not able to print some of the fields. i.e some of the entries are missing in that report printout
    Can someone guess what could be the problem ???
    Are there any limitations / preconfigurations that needs to be done apart from setting page size,margin before using the PrintToPrinter method
    Regards
    Srivatsa

    OK, a few incongruencies here:
    I'm using the version of the Crystal Reports that ships along with the Visual Studio.NET 2005.
    - that would make is CR 10.2
    We have also tried applying the latest service packs crxir2_sp4_full_build
    - So SP 4 for CR XI release 2 would not do you much good as per above (if you are indeed using CR 10.2(?))
    - How did you get to the crxir2_sp4_full_build? This is in a gated section of the SAP website. The only publically available SP 4 for CR XI r2 is "incremental... If you did apply crxir2_sp4_full_build, then you are working with CR XI r2 now...
    The behavior is seen in the web application and the behavior is seen both in the dev and deployment system.
    - So this does not work anywhere? If so, why bother going to deployment?
    Also i tried exporting to pdf soon before / after printing. But the fields are present in the pdf and not on the printouts
    - Confirm that you do see the fields on an exported PDF and when you print the PDF you get a blank printout?
    More clarification needed:
    We need to be absolutely clear on what version of Crystal Reports you are using. Open your .NET project, go to your references and look for CrystalDecisions.Crystalreports.Engine.dll. What version is this assembly?
    Also, please answer the rest of the questions above.

  • Database fields empty after creating a new (Crystal) Report in MSY

    Hello,
    I have some issues to use Crystal Reports in Mobile Sales Maintenance (MSY). The situation is as follows
    My example is based on this standard report, which is working
    Report Name: BPartnerActivities
    Reporting Tool: Crystal Reports
    Category: Standard reports
    Subcategory: Lists
    Report Type: Report
    Data Source: Business Content provider
    Business Content Provider: BPActivities
    My requirement is to build a new report, which is based on the standard "BPartnerActivities" Report. If I use the "copy" functionality, I get an working Copy of the standard report. However, I need to modify the Business Content Provider, but I do not want to make the modifications on the standard content provider "BPActivities".
    I am now forced to used the "copy" functionality to create a copy from "BPActivities" for my own Content Provider "My BPActivities copy", which I want to use in a new report.
    Issue:
    I cannot modify the defined Business Content Provider after using the "copy" functionality and hence forced to create a new report from scratch to be able to set a different Content Provider.
    I create my own report "MyBPartnerActivities" based on the standard report "BPartnerActivities" using the same settings and assign my new business content provider.
    If I use the "Design Report" or "Modify Report" button, the Crystal Report designer pops up. Now the problem, the Crystal Report designer does not offer me any data below "Database fields".
    In the standard report, the "Database fields" has a child element "BOACTIVITY-ttx" with several field options. My own created report from sratch does now have anything?!
    Why my report does not offer my any data or is there anything additional to do?
    Another Test
    I tried to create another report using the standard content provider "BPActivities", but I have still the same issue.
    In addition I recongized that the "browse data" fuctionality does not work on the fields in the standard report. The path to the database file does not exist. It starts with "C:\WINNT\...", but my system has "C:\WINDOWS\...". But the executed report is able to retriev the data?!
    Unfortunately was not able to find any proper documentation, but I would really appreciate any help.
    Regards,
    Andreas

    Update
    It looks like that the *.ttx file is not uploaded/create to/on the MSY system. The system shows the file in the Crystal Report Designer, but there is no file on the file system. The confusing thing is, that any standard report is still working and does not really complain about a missing ttx file. I think the content of the ttx file is somehow embeded to the report.
    Does someone know how the system should behave? Should a ttx file be automatically created & assigned to any new report or do I have to create the file by my own every time?
    Cheers,
    Andreas
