Crystal Reports 10 Cross Tab Report Issue

I created a Cross Tab Report with multiple rows of data. It has two columns to return data for Year 2008 and Year 2009. When reading the database the report does not return data for rows that have a result of 0 in both columns even though Suppress Empty Rows is NOT checked in the Cross Tab Expert Customize Style Tab. Any suggestions as to how to get all of the rows to display including those with results of 0?

I'm guessing that your issue is that "results of 0" is really a lack of data, not that something is there and is summing to zero.
In that case, you need to base your report on an SQL Command. Take the SQL that the report is currently using, and UNION it with another select statement that returns all of the rows that you are looking for with zero values; something like this:
UNION
select category, 0 as PY_Value, 0 as CY_Value
from categories
This will cause the data to be there, which will cause the rows to display on the cross tab.

Crystal Report issue : Error in file.. .rpt . Error in formula

Hi ,
I recently migrated a report from production to test environemnt and it throws me the following error:
Error in File C:\DOCUME1\oe_user\LOCALS1\Temp\packing instructions {4058873B-9756-4052-B479-EBD2D0A08E7D}.rpt:Error in formula <Object_Visibility>. '{Command.EXACT_WEIGHT_FLAG} = "Ne (No)"'
This field name is not known.
In production server is installed Oracle 9i database and in test server is installed Oracle 10g
The report has 1 main report and 2 sub reports.
1. The same report works fine in production server without any issues.
2. I had executed the report in Crystal reports 2008 and it runs fine displaying all fields without any issues.
3. I had also tried taking the query of both subreports and the main report and tried executing it in oracle and it runs fine without any issues.
However during the runtime in the test server, it throws the following error.
Can someone help me out with this issue..

Hi Siva,
What is the patch level of CR 2008?
Is it a win or a web app?
What is the server OS?
First, try to simply view the report. Let the report prompt for the database credentials and the parameter values if any.
See if it reproduces the issue.
ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();
rd.Load(Server.MapPath("CrystalReport.rpt"));
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rd;
Take a look at the SAP Note :
[1421867 - Error: This field name is not known|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333433323331333833363337%7D.do]

Crystal Report Issues

Hi Experts,
1) When creating new report, I normally go thru wizards and add multiple tables to my report. The report seems fine when I preview in SBO 8.8 After working on my report, I sometimes need to add extra tables for my report. I select 'Database Expert' and tried to add the extra table (share common fields with existing tables) to my report. CR issue a warning 'more than one db driver been used'. I then update datasource location. When I preview the report, all the fields are blank. So, what's the ideal way to add extra tables to CR when you are half way thru the designing process?
2) Hyperlinks work fine in CR viewer. However, after I export to Excel or PDF, they don't work. It gives me error 'cannot locate internet server'. The hyperlink in Excel looks like 'http://$b1$/link?table=OCRD&key=C90099'. I do have SBO open at the same time. I am hoping when I click the hyperlink in Excel, the SBO window will pop out. Is it possible?

Hello,
What is SBO 8.8? The errors/no data is due to linking, your original data source is using say for example ODBC and your second connection is using OLE DB and therefore 2 DB connections and thus no links between then so no data returned.
If SBO is a classic SAP problem with Crystal Reports installed then you likely need to post your question to the SAP Integration Kit forum.
One question per post.

Need more information:
1) What version of Crystal reports are you using?
2) What Crystal reports service packs have you applied?
3) Is this a web or win app?
4) I am assuming you are using .NET... what version of .NET?
7) What OS?
8) Does the report work as expected in the CR designer?
9) Are you seeing the issue on your development computer or after you deploy the app?
10) What SDK are you using? (CR, RAS, BOE?)
If you would like to share the screen shot, you can upload it to a web site of your choosing, then provide a link. These forums do not allow uploads. Alternatively, you can create a phone case here:

Crystal Reports-Issue

Hi,
When I am connecting to SAP-R/3 System through Crystal Reports, I could see only few tables. Most of the tables are not seen. What could be the reason behind this?
Thanks.

Hi,
If i understand you correctly, you are connecting directly to the R/3 system, so it's very unlikely you will get a response in this forum (as we are mainly dealing with BW here).
What i can suggest is the following:
1. Can you make sure the user you specified in Crystal Reports has the required read permissions on all the tables you need?
2. If this doesn't help - check the Business Objects forums (http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/search.php and www.businessobjects.com)
3. Ingo Hilgefort from Business Objects normally answers questions related to the Crystal-BW integration in this forum. Maybe he can help, but i am sure you will manage to solve it by yourself.

Cross tab formatting issue

Post Author: forumguy
CA Forum: General
Hi Guys,
I am using crystal 10. The cross tab is in the group.
It was giving me a blank page in the middle of the report. So, unchecked the "Keep together" in the section expert in the group. And the Blank page was gone. But now with "Keep together option" unchecked, it gives error " Error formatting the cross tab" after one particular page.
Is there any other way to remove that blank page ?
Appreciate ur comments.
Thanks

Create a manual crosstab report

Cross tab column issue

I have a cross tab report that has three column fields. I want to design the report such that when the outer most column (1st column) field get repeated again it should appear at a certain gap from the first one.
By default crystal report shows all the columns joined together with no space in between.
e.g lets say that column has three values A,B and C. I want to have the cross tab report to have gaps between these three matrices that get displayed. i.e. A with its sub columns and summary values then a slight gap followed by B with its sub columns and summary values and so on.
Please Help.

Is the show cell margins option checked or not.If unchecked please check it and see the results.
If this doesnot work you can right click on the summary field and in the Display String add formula
" "+CStr(CurrentFieldValue)+" "
Hope this helps

Crystal Reports Issue in VS2005

I have a real problem trying to get my report connected to the project data source. I have been using the 'Wizard' to make to connection, however, when I Browse data for a field all it returns is the field size i.e. no data. I have prepared a Word file with screen shots showing the problem but as far as I can see I have no way of posting this here.
Can someone please offer me some assistance as I am at my wits end with this and desperately need to solve the problem as my VB Project, which needs to include reports, as part of my last OU course for a Computing and IT Honours Degree and, at the moment, I cannot create a report at all !
Am using VS2005 and VB2005 database is in MS SQL Server 2005

No, put it on a public share somewhere. Other option is to purchase a support case.
I assume you are suing a data set of some sort then?

Crystal Report viewing and Printing Issue

Hi Experts
I use crystal Reports for PO,AR Invoice,Delivery and many other documents.It takes more than 5 mins to view layout from crystal report and print sequence printing takes more than 10mins.Please Help me to rectify this issue..
Regards
Naresh Kumar

Hi Naresh,
What is your SAP version and Patch Level ?
I believe in new version this issue has been addressed by SAP. Also note SAP B1 8.81 PL 07 has some issues in crystal Report, it asks for SQL user id and password, SAP is aware of this issue. So if you plan upgrade to latest PL then ensure that Crystal report issue is resolved, otherwise you will be in trouble.

Crystal Reports and JobBoss issues?

Iu2019m hoping someone can help find a solution to a problem we are having with Crystal Reports when using the program with JobBoss.
We are using JobBoss version 11.3.8 along with the trial version of Crystal Reports XI. Our PC uses Windows XP. We had a Consultant develop a custom report and he uses Crystal Reports 9.
Our problem is when we tried running the report we get an error that says: Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer: File not found
Can someone suggest a route for us to take to resolve this issue? Is it a Crystal Reports issue or a JobBoss issue or something completely different?
Thanks

Hello,
Moved your post to the legacy forum.
Likely what is happening is the application is specifically looking for the file craxddrt.dll version 9. CR XI puts that file in a new location.
Likely the only way to fix this upgrade issue is to have the consultant look over the code or if you have the source code then find the updated dll and redirect your app to use it rather than the old one.

Problems printing pdfs generated by Crystal Reports X

The printers in our office area were recently upgraded to Xerox Work Centre 5632 printers using Managed Print Service. We are now having issues printing reports from within the application to any of these newly defined printers. The Arial font, which is commonly used on the majority of our report templates, is displaying as a series of squares with readable letters or numbers thrown in randomly. I don't know if the issue is limited to Arial, or if other fonts behave similarly. I have tried to print several different reports to several different print servers and printer combinations, all with the same result. When viewing the report online, or saving as PDF and viewing, it looks fine. If we save the report as a PDF, then select "print as an image" (on the advanced tab of the print menu), the report will print correctly.
Is there any way to either change the report design or a setting in Crystal Reports to prevent this from happening ? This problem did not occur when using a different printer.

This is not a Crystal Reports issue. It is a printer (or printer driver) issue. Does the printer support Arial font???
HTH,
Carl

Export from Crystal Reports to .ttx takes long time

We have multiple sites running the same Crystal report. The report can run and present data in an hour resulting in thousands of records. Then we need the report to be exported into tab-separated text. The export can take 10-12 hours for some of the sites. Could this be a Crystal Reports issue?...Some are running CR10 and some CRXI? We are not sure if it is a systems issue or a Crystal Reports issue. Can anyone help?

Multiple things could be causing this. If you go to the fastest machine, does it have better network access, more mem, etc...
Or, is it just closer to the data source, than the slowest. I would take the quickest, and the slowest and try to isolate
the differences between those two. Honestly, could be anything. Patch levels of CR, Operating system, ODBC Drivers, maybe even printer drivers.
if you find your self exporting to tab delimited quite a bit, it might be worth redesigning the report,
you could add the tabs between the fields in one huge formula. our several smaller ones,
{Item 1} & chr(10) & {Item 2} & chr(10) & {Item 3} & chr(10) & {Item 4}....
anyway, then you could just output standard txt, and your tabs will already be imbedded.
That may buy you some speed.

Cross Tab issue , Need a Help

HI Expery
In BO Webi report need to show dynamic columns in Report after transposing rows to columns.
Data in Table is like below:
Col1     Col2     Col3
101     Abc     801
101     Abc     802
101     Abc     803
101     Abc     804
101     Abc     805
102     RNM     2009
102     RNM     2010
102     RNM     2011
103     RYZ     3465
In Report It should be as
Col1     Col2     Col3     Col3     Col3     Col3     Col3
101     Abc     801     802     803     804     805
102     RNM     2009     2010     2011
103     RYZ     3465
We have tried implementing the same using cross tab , but issue is in Cross col3 grows with all values present for all records. Here, if we use cross tab we are getting result as below:
Col1     Col2     Col3     Col3     Col3     Col3     Col3     Col3     Col3     Col3     Col3
101     Abc     801     802     803     804     805     2009     2010     2011     3465
102     RNM     801     802     803     804     805     2009     2010     2011     3465
103     RYZ     801     802     803     804     805     2009     2010     2011     3465

Hi Ahmed
You can use the below logic.
col1 & col2 u can keep it as columns in a cross tab. Now keep col3 as row but here you need to do one thing . Click on the formula button for col3 field and then write the following syntax in it.
= col3 IN ([Col1];[col2])
By using this calculation context it will fetch only the data which is related to the first two columns. so the extra data which u were mentioning about will got to the next row.

Creating a crystal report using excel

I have an excel spreadsheet that I would like to access to create a crystal reports. But it seems that I have to first save it as an access or other database file. But this information changes frequently so I it would be more efficient to access the excel file directly. I tried using the crystal wizard addin in excel, but then when I run the report I get the error message "Server has not yet been opened". Any other ideas on how to create report of excel data directly?

Hello Guys ,
I have something similar problem ,but not exactly.
our requirement is We are scheduling one crystal report to generate excel and sent to FTP location.This Excel file (in FTP) should be the input of new Crystal Report using ODBC (RDO) connection.
I am able to create the ODBC connection,but that ODBC connection is not showing me the selected excel sheet in the Crystal Report ODBC Connection.I tried with Remote as well as local drive Excel also.
I tried on different machine (thought ,it could be Driver specific),but all machines does have same issue.
Is there any settings or driver upgrades require for CR XI R2 /2008 in order to use ODBC (RDO) for EXCEL FILES.I didnt find any comments /resolution in Google too.
My steps -
1) Create a sample Excel file - only few records
2) Created a System ODBC connection pointing this excel file say "TEST1"
3) Opened A Blank Crystal Report
4) Create a New connection
5) Select ODBC RDO
6) Create new connection and selected the newly created SYSTEM DSN "TEST1"
7) check the selected excel is displayed in ODBC RDO connection??
If it is a Crystal Report issue or ODBC Driver issue ,please let me know if anyone have came across similar issues.
thanks in advance.
