Crystal Reports- Filter field by specific word(s)

Hello,
I am not sure if this possible. I have a table memo text field called close description for service incidents. I need a report to only display records where the close description contains the words ( replaced, replace ,swap , UPS, Etc). I dont know how to code this in SQL. And if it can be done are the words case specific?
Any assistance would be greatly aprreciated
Thanks all

OK. Change the SQL Expression code to:
SELECT CASE
WHEN CHARINDEX('replaced',"Table"."Database"_Field") > 0
OR CHARINDEX('replace',"Table"."Database"_Field") > 0
OR CHARINDEX('swap',"Table"."Database"_Field") > 0
OR CHARINDEX('UPS',"Table"."Database"_Field") > 0
THEN 1 ELSE 0
END
Then, go to the Record Selection Formula and use the SQL Expression as:
{%SQL_Exp_Name} = 1

Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer

I have connected TABULAR Model to Excel, and in the pivot the filter is on multiple dimensions. When doing the drillthrough action it gives error - Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer
Is there any workaround to this error? so that drillthrough can be done even with multiple selection.

Hi Vikas,
The reason behind the error message requires the knowledge on what happens at the backend. When you perform a drill-through action, a query is sent to Analysis Services. This query is expressed in a query language called Multi-Dimensional Expression (MDX).
Since the MDX language doesnot support drill-through command against a set (collection of tuples) an error is persisted.
For now, there is no workaround as it is a limitation of the underlying language that is generating the query.
When multiple items are selected you lose the ability to drill-down on individual metrics. To resolve you must either:
1. Select a single Item.
2. Select all items.
Hope this helps!
Please mark as Answer if this helps! Thanks, Rajasekhar.

Crystal Report Formula field function on OLAP SAP BI/BW Cube

Dear All
We create OLAP Cube Report in Crystal Report 2008 (BO) base SAP ( DB2) BI/BW Cube, Grid report coming correctly. Crystal Report Formula Field functionalities are not avilabel or suporting. If any one explain or some kind of documentation available pl. help me.
Thanks, in advance.

Hi,
you are using the OLAP Grid which will only have limited functionality. You can use the BW MDX Driver and then connect to a BEx query and you will have the complete functionality in CR

Crystal report AS ole object into word

I've been searching the web on using crystal reports as an OLE object inside a word document, but all results have been about using a word document inside a crystal report.
I am trying to create a quarterly report document for a business. This document is built using MS word. The document needs to include various tables, charts and the like, which they want to build in crystal reports so that they can be used either as part of the quarterly or as standalone reports.
I would like to embed these reports into MS Word. Ideally, every three months the reports would be updated with new parameters, the word document would be opened, and the linked OLE reports would display the updated data tables and charts.
I'm not sure if this is possible. I just attempted to embed a crystal report inside a word 2007 document, but the OLE object only showed up as an object containing the report filename, not the actual report.
Can crystal act as an ole server for a word document to do what I want it to do, or will I need to programatically export the batch of crystal reports to images in order to have them show up in the word document?

if you have business objects enterprise & live office, you can use Business Objects Live Office to embed the following from crystal reports into word or excel or powerpoint:
1) charts
2) cross tabs
3) summaries
4) fields
to name a few.
you can also use prompts in the word doc to allow you to change up the above on the fly.

How to change crystal report data field at runtime ?

Hello everyone,
I have a Crystal Report file ,which i am using to generate report for my windows form project .
In that report i have a filed called as Quantity which data type is set as decimal, the requirement is like that the number of value those comes after decimal point that should be set according to the value which is given by the user at the run time .
For eg: If user gives 1 at the run time then the report Qty field value set one value after decimal point. Like 12.1
if user gives 2 then Qty field the value is 12.22 like tat but user can give from zero to any number.. and if it is zero it should not show decimal
Note: The main idea hear is how to change the filed in Crystal Report decimal point value by using code(or we say writing code we need to set manually as user input it will change)
Can any body help me how to solve this issue .
S.K Nayak

I think you could probably make the field you see a formula field and take a parameter as the number of decimal places.
totext converts a number to a string.
totext({decimalField}, 2)
That's 2 decimal places.
You could probably substitute a {parameter} for that 2.
If not then you could substitute an entire formula.
To explore formulas:
foreach (FormulaFieldDefinition f in rpt.DataDefinition.FormulaFields)
MessageBox.Show(f.Name);
// f.Text = your new formula
Where rpt is an instantiated report.
Or add another string field which you display in the column and do the calculation with the original decimal.
Hope that helps.

Capturing Interactive Report Filter Fields

I've a requirement where in a user can view data, apply filters to it, and then invoke an Oracle API by passing in the data set currently visible on the report.
If I can some how capture currently applied filters on an Interactive report, I should be able to recreate the same data on the server side before calling the Oracle API.
Is there a way to capture these Filter field out of the Interactive report?
Thanks,
Shikhar

Thanks again Jari.
I compiled Stew's package and setup a call like this:
DECLARE
   v_variable   VARCHAR2 (5000);
BEGIN
       v_variable := apex_ir_query.IR_QUERY_WHERE (app_id_in => 125,
                                    page_id_in => 2,
                                    session_id_in => 1058992121588043,
                                    base_report_id_in => 6902307847490674);
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Query: ' || v_variable);
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Exception :' || SQLERRM);
END;But this didn't return anything. Did some digging and ran the SQL below:
   SELECT * FROM apex_application_page_ir_cond cond where application_id = 125Which revealed interactive report id values different from the ones returned by $v('apexir_REPORT_ID'); $v('apexir_REPORT_ID') returns 6902307847490674 but in the table its 7.76121620735057E15 (My Apex version is 3.2).
I'm not going to pursue it further, as I've decided to implement custom filtering functionality using ape_util.ir_query package. Thanks for your valuable help with this issue. Closing the question.

Random Characters insterted into Crystal Reports string fields

I'm having a problem where random characters are being inserted into string fields in my crystal reports, I talked to a representative and they are unable to fix the problem, so I'm asking here if someone has a workaround. The characters are always outside of the normal set of characters, so I'd like to know if there is a way to only allow certain characters in a given field using formulas. (for example, at a very simple level, i would input a list of "legal characters" and the field in crystal wouldn't display anything but those characters)
thanks for your time and help

Sorry, i think I've been a bit imprecise so far
So these characters ONLY appear when printing the report and not when previewing the report in Crystal Reports?
They appear when previewing, when actually printing, everything after the characters is cut off
Are you printing directly from CR or from Enterprise/Infoview or another custom application?
From CR (both to PDF and paper)
When did you update your print driver last?
Not sure, although this may be moot since it also shows up in the preview?
Have you printed on another printer and does it too exhibit the same behavior?
Same as above?
Was the report created by you in CRXI? Are your regional settings set to English (language)?
Yes I created the report in CRXI, and in terms of the regional settings, I'm not sure but would assume so, how do I check/change this?

SAP Crystal reports formula fields

hi,
how to use formula fields in crystal report.
thanks & regards,vinoth

Hi Vinoth,
That's a very vague question.
You can create formulae via the Field Explorer > Formula option.
After you save and close the formula editor, you need to drag and drop the formula on the report for it to execute.
If you need help with a formula, please post the requirement.

Disable Crystal reports grey fields in the preview

Dear forum users, I've got an application not written by me (so I do not have source code) that displays a Report in a standard Crystal Report Viewer. In the preview when I click on a field it gets rounded with a grey border, filled with a grey background.
This is causing me some problems when I use the application via Remote Desktop Connection.
Since I don't like this feature the question is: can I disable this feature (maybe by changing an entry in the Registry Editor)?
Best regards
Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,
I think maynot be. whats the screen resolution of your system? If you change it probably you can see that particular grey box clearly.
or
try to export that file to excel or pdf. probably you will see the file with you vagueness.
Regards
Usama

Crystal Reports DataBase Fields

Hi,
I'd like to know if is possible to set the query string and the DataBase when you want to open a Crystal Report from SBO.
Thanks.

You cannot set the database connection string from the SBO connection information because the password is encrypted.
But if can grab the password from somewhere else you can do it like this:
    private void SetConnectionInfo(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo, ReportClass report)
      TableLogOnInfo crTableLogOnInfo;
      report.SetDatabaseLogon(conn.UserId, conn.Password, conn.Server, conn.Database);
      crConnectionInfo.ServerName = conn.Server;
      crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = conn.Database;
      crConnectionInfo.UserID = conn.UserId;
      crConnectionInfo.Password = conn.Password;
      foreach(Table table in report.Database.Tables)
        crTableLogOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
        crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
        table.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo);
        string s = table.Location;
        s = crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName + "." /*dbo." */ + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1) ;
        table.Location = crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName + "." /*dbo."*/ + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1) ;
Hope this helps,
Jurgen

Crystal Report: Show Field only in Print-Preview

Dear Experts,
is it possible to show a field only in the print preview (when the report is generated) without printing this field?
Thanks for Help.
Jacqueline

No, it is not possible to display a report object on screen then suppress it when printing.

Who thinks you would have to use 2 reports or use a parameter that offers the option of formatting for view versus for print...

Crystal Reports in other languages ...

Hi
I'm new to crystal reporting my question is can crystal reports (v10 to be specific) present data in other languages like for example Arabic even though your data source is English language? More like translate this data to that language, Is it just a matter of choosing the font when designing or its more complicated than that?
Thanks

New since CR 9 is unicode support: http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=http--supportbusinessobjectscom-communityCS-TechnicalPapersNoNav-cr9whatsnewpdfasp&sliceId=&dialogID=24286720&stateId=1 0 24288668
"Unicode support means that the program code level in Crystal Reports is able to recognize language
characters that are based on Unicode.
Unicode is used to display double-byte characters such as the Chinese and Japanese character sets.
This enables you to create Crystal Reports that can display right-to-left languages and multiple
languages in a single report."
So if your data is in unicode Crystal will be able to properly display the various languages.
If you wanted one single report to be viewed in different languages, then static strings in the report would need to be converted into formula fields which changes the text into the appropriate language based on a language parameter. Some strings could not be handled in this manner though such as custom prompting strings.

Purchase Order Crystal Report Layout Error

The stock Crystal Report Layout for Purchase Orders is giving me the following error:
A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array.
Details: errorKind
Error in File POR20002 {b89f97ad-bf1f-447b-8bb4-b3d2e5219269}

Error in formula N_Decimal_Places:
'// To get the length of decimals
A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array.
Details: errorKind
I looked in the Crystal Reports Formula fields and could not find N_Decimal_Places.
Has any one else had the problem with the PO layout that comes with Business One? If so, how did you fix it?

Couldn't find how to copy the PO layout over using copy express.
I did compare the RDOC fields for POR20002 in both databases and they are Identical.
In Crystal Reports, I did a formula search for N_Decimal_Places and it found nothing. Then I did a search for 'length' in all formulas and it finds length in N_Decimal_Places. When I double click on N_Decimal_Places it clears the screen and never shows the formula. This happens in both layouts for my test database and SBODemoUS.
Again, SBODemoUS works correctly and AAA_TEST give the error.
