Crystal Report Question on query

I am trying to design a report to where it lists a name of a unique person in a table and totals the amount of money they owe. Essentially it's a letter for parking tickets and it will total all the fine amounts for that individual person. I don't know how to design the report to produce this result and how to design the query to produce this result.

First off, depending on your version of CR, some of the instructions may not be correct.  I have CRXI
Create a group based on the persons information (I assume you would have a drivers license number, or something you could group off of.  You may also want to group off date/time or amount.
In your details section drop in whatever fields you wish to return from the Database.
When you run your report, you should see all the records, sorted by the persons Id and then the date.
Now, this will be more data than you want, so you can use the select expert to limit what is returned.   For example if the ticket is paid, you do not need to send a letter.  The select statement will look something like this, if your field that indicates a ticket is paid is ticket_#              not ({Ticket_#} like "paid")    So if Paid shows up in that field, the record is suppressed.   Also, look at the example reports, they may help you get some id's

  • Crystal Report Date Prompt  Query from SAP BW

    Dear Support,
    Using Crystal Report 2008 and Query is design In SAP BW
    Date Prompt is made mandatory in Query at Query Designer.
    Problem:  Requirent is that Date promt shoud take value currentdate-1
    when report is excuted first date prompt will show in that prompt value should have today date - 1 which is yesterday date.
    how to pass formula to date prompt?
    Thanks

    If the prompt value should always be CurrentDate -1, then there is no need to use a prompt at all. Just put the formula to the selection criteria.
    If you want the prompt to default to CurrentDate -1, while allowing the user to change the prompt to another date if they wish... That won't work. CR won't allow you to use a formula as the default value in a prompt.
    If there is a BO Universe between you and the tables... IE, you're building against the universe, you'll need to get with the universe designer and have them make an alternate field available that has the formula hard coded in the SQL as opposed prompting.

  • Can i use crystal reports standard to query ODBC datasources

    Post Author: Andy Forrest
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    Dear all,
    I'm struggling to identify if i can use crystal reports standard to query ODBC data-sources, the only information i can find is the following :-
    An intuitive solution that provides basic report design functionality off of PC-based data sources, Crystal Reports XI Standard Edition will provide you with access to data stored in personal data sources.
    This gives the impression that i cant access any data other than local data, can anyone give me a definitive answer or point me to somewhere that explains in a little more detail.  We are about to purchase some copies but need to ensure crystal reports standard can access ODBC data sources.  We are replacing crystal reports 8 standard edition and need to ensure previous reports will still run.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Cheers
    Andy

    Well, you can certainly connect to ODBC with Crystal XI Developer.  I'd be very surprised if you couldn't with the Standard version as well.  Not the definitive answer you were looking for, I suppose.

  • Crystal Reports and BW Query- Translation

    Hello,
    I'm trying to use Crystal reports with BW Query in the Hebrew Language.
    When i open the Crystal Reports and connect to SAP I'm putting the Hebrew language key in the logon screen. When the crystal report starts i can see the reports info objects but without the Hebrew description. I can see that in the formula fields the Language key is selected but shouldnt i get the info objects description as well?
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi David,
    when I create a new report (using the SAP toolbar) I always get the descriptions for the info objects on the field explorer according to the language I set when I logon on into the SAP system my query resides in. I tried with both english and german language and it works fine. I assume you have installed the hebrew language pack for CR and that the hebrew descriptions are maintained in your SAP system. I also assume that you are talking about creating a report here and not opening an existing one though. In this case the language at creation time defines which descriptions are displayed.
    If the above assumptions are valid, then you may face a hebrew language specific problem here. Opening a support case would probably make sense.

  • Crystal Reports with BEx Query using Custom Exit Variable

    Hi,
    We have BW BEx Query using Customer User Exit variable to derive  the Fiscal Week for Last Year (called it VAR2) based on another user input variable Current Fiscal Week (called it VAR1).
    VAR2 is derived from VAR1 in CMOD via some codings and thus it DOES NOT have the "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx. VAR1 is user input variable, so it has "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx.
    When we create a Crystal Reports with the BEx Query using variable VAR2, and when we run it we got an error message saying "Failed to execute query; '[]<java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: No Selection State Support!ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK>'. Redesign your query or contact the data source maintainer to solve the problem".  (note: ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK is VAR2 in this case).
    Could anyone please assist? Surely, CR supports BEx customer user exit variables like the above, right?. I also refer to the forum below as it seems to have a similar issue (except mine with an error message), but it does not provide a solution in it.

    Hi Vibhav,
    We have the SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI4.0 Version 14.0.0. Not sure if SP0 or other SP, got to check with Basis Team later.
    We tried that "mandatory" option and did not work either.
    Anyway, SAP has now come back again saying it is something they will fix it in next release/version. We got a phone call from them and a reply below to our OSS.

    I have raised this issue on the Idea#s Place as an enhancement request
    on the below link:

  • Executing Crystal Report using BI Query as datasource in Bobj portal

    I have a Crystal report using BI query as the datasource. The BI query contains User Entry variables.
    The Crystal report executes as expected except when added to the Bobj portal. From the portal, I can schedule the report and it will execute as correctly. However, if I try to execute without scheduling, I am able to enter the BI restrictions, but then am presented the following error message: "An error has occurred: For input string: "" ".
    If I remove all the BI variables from the query, the report will execute from the portal with out scheduling.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Crystal Report using BW Query that contains replacement path (control query

    I have a Crystal report built on a BW query.  The BW query contains a replacement path on a characteristic (as a control query).  The control query has additional variables that the main query is not using.  The crystal report is not recognizing any of the variables that the control query includes.  How do I get the crystal report to recognize the control query variables?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks,

    Hello Charlie,
    It is easy. You could add your query in the initial part.  It is called command under Database Expert.

  • Strange behaviour of Crystal report with BEx Query

    Hiii. All
    I have created a crystal report on top of BW-BEx query. My query contains a structure other than Keyfig.
    Thats why I am using BW-MDX query option to build my Report.
    i Have created a cross tab in my report taking the structure as Column and some key figures in Summarised fields.
    till here it works fine. but whenever I am dragging some fields say "Project Defination or Location" to  report header section, which are also coming frm BEx query. then my cross tab is not showing all colomn of the structure(Precisely it removing one column of the structure).
    Can anyone pls tell me  why is it happening. and how to proceed to solve this.
    Waiting for your reply..
    Thanks
    Anish

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes it returning data . Structure contains total 13 columns .
    So It is suppose to return all 13 of them. and it is doing so till i don't drag-drop the field. once i do this its behaving strangely and returning me only 12 columns.

  • Crystal report blocks bex query

    Hi,  gurus.
    I'm in such situation - i need to delete BEX query wich is used in crystal reports. Changing database in my report i simply made new crystal report. So i need to delete it from bw. If you know the way please tell me.
    Any help ll be appreciated
    regards, andrew

    Hi,
    I assume you saved the report to the BW system and then the system will show you - and not allow to delete - the query before it is used in a report - standard "where used" functionality of BW. you need to delete the report first

  • 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.

  • Crystal Report Instance - running query when viewing?

    Hi
    Why would a Crystal Report that was scheduled and completed success fully try to run the query again when I click on the instance?  Isn't it just suppose to render the report when one clicks on the instance?
    Thanks
    Kim

    i think its as i told you before, its something related with the parameters, you can have multiple instances with different parameter values.
    and there is many other technical issues, i dunn know if you read about it or not you can revise back the Crystal Report user guide
    you can get it from here

  • BO Edge 3.1 run Crystal Report with sub query or Union

    I have some reports with subquery and union SQL Command and put them in SAP BO Edge 3.1 server. The results are very disappointed. I scheduled 3 instances of the same report to run at 5:30 a.m. . When I used the Crystal Report 2008 to run the report, it took only 3 minutes. One instance took several minutes but other two never came back. When I came back to the office at 8:30 a.m., they were still running. What is the problem with SAP BO Edge? Any solution? the reports are very important and I have to get up at 5:30 a.m. to check to see the result and re run as needed. Any suggestion?
    Thanks.

    Look at the errors in each instance to help determine the cause

    Hi everybody !As per the two pictures below...In the second pictures, why I can't use the space left by the Page Footer a section to put other things ? When I put some additionnals lines in the Details b section, these lines goes on another page.Only for additionnal informations, the Page Footer a is suppressed when PageNumber=TotalPageCount...  I hope I was clear with my question...Thanks in advance !

    DubweiserTM:
    I've experienced this also with some of my reports. In my case it has to do with the size of the paper vs. the amount of data returned in the details for a group, with a new page after in the group footer. That blank area is unaddressable space created by a page feed - a new page after or new page before setting. If you truly do have that much space to use on the page, try making the page footer larger and insert some fields there to test with.
    This is vague, I know.
