Crystal Reports Group Summaries

I've been away from CR for a while and need some help with a report. The database I'm reporting from has many tables and the ones I'm using are:
Workorders
Activity Detail
Activity Master
Labor Details
Parts
The report is based on a given Workorder with all the activity listed in ascending order (group #1) reporting subsequent activity information all of which is reporting correctly. I now need to pull from the Labor table listing the activity's total hours and amount, total parts cost, total contract labor hours and amount, total of all costs per activity (group subtotals). Then at the end of the entire report a totals of all hours, amount, part costs, contract hours, contract amount, grand total of all costs.
I was thinking I'd need to do a group subreport, but can't get it to work. Thank you in advance for your help.

did you try inserting the summary in a specific group footer?
regards,
Raghavendra

Crystal Reports grouping limits different then tree or tab menu limits...

Hi,This may not be the forum for this, but I figured that if I am trying to make a treemenu function as a replacement for the group tree in CR that it is somewhat relevant...I got a production system to run a test and it seems that the Crystal reports group tree control can easily display 3000+ items, no errors, warnings or any other abnormal behaviours. Why would it be possible for this to work, and not have that many elements in a treemenu or tabmenu without the page size limits? I've already discovered that in my case I need to break up the levels into smaller strings, but the page size becomes an issue. There are no ways that i have found to duplicate the group tree functionality with that many levels. Even the largest page size cannot display 3000+ items that I have been able to find.Thanks for any help you can give.   

this will work for viewing only in boe or in the crystal reports designer...<li>In Enterprise (CMC), navigate to the report you've just uploaded </li><li>From the process tab, select 'Print Setup' </li><li>In the 'Set the report's page layout' section, select the 'Custom Settings' option. </li><li>Choose a Height and Width for the report (for example - 40inches width, 10 inches high). </li><li>Click Update. </li><li>Go to the History tab and Click Run Now (assuming the report you've built doesn't have a massive quantity of data) </li><li>You should now be viewing your report with the screenspace chosen (40 inchs wide) - From the viewer, export the report to RPT and save it to your desktop. </li><li>Open the report in Crystal Reports and you will have the report with custom page settings to work with. </li>

Crystal Report Group section in new page

Hi all,
I have a program written in VB.Net 2005 which display a report. In this report, I have a group by Item type ascending.
When I run the program and load the report, it display the data correctly.
When I move my mouse cursor on Group Section Hearder on the report, it will change to Magnify icon.
When I double click on that Group title which is "Item Type" in my report, it will load a new page beside "Main Report" in Crystal tool bar.
Problem is it didn't contain Report Header/Footer or Page Header/Footer.
I like this feature but it only display the group section is not enough for me.
Why I like it is because my report will have different Item Type. Each type can list up to more than 1 page.
I want to print the report by Item Type. That means Item A may be total 2 pages, Item B may be total 6 pages.
All I need to do is load the page like I mention above, it will only contain that Item Type and click on Print to print out particular Item type.
Another issue is If i supress this Group Section in crystal report during design, when I run the program I can't double click to open up new page beside Main report.
Any idea and solution for my case????
Thanks.

Your report will need re-designing. What you are seeing is an expected behavior. Consider redesigning your report - possibly using subreports.
If i supress this Group Section in crystal report during design, when I run the program I can't double click
- again, an expected behavior. You suppressed the GroupSection. E.g.; you made it invisible / non functional / not needed by suppressing it...

Crystal report group by intervals on date field

I have a table which contains euipment related defects arranged on Date_Raised field. I have to grouped the records based on date_raised field and certain intervals like if date_riased field is < certifciate_complication_date, if date_raised falles between certficate_complication_date and final_certificate_date.
certificate_completion_date and final_completion_date field are parameters which are fetch from another table & pass onto report.
my problem is , crystal report in VS 2003 doesn't allows to enter parameters in specified group when you select this option. you have to enter fixed values.
Does anybody knows how to get around this, any quick help will be highly appreciable.
I have to do this in VS 2003 only.
Thanks,
Sunil

That version of CR is version 9 which does not have Dynamic Cascading Parameters. One option is to upgrade or possibly post your question to the Report Design forum and indicate you are using CR 9 functionality.
Other option is to use 2 Parameters with a start/end date prompt.

Crystal report weekly summaries

=======
user_id number
username varchar2
orders
========
order_id number
user_id number
order_date date
select u.username,o.order_id,o.order_date
from orders o,users u
where o.user_id=u.user_id and order_date between '11-MAY-2011' and '30-MAY-2011'
i have the three columns in my crystal report and users will be prompted to enter date range they need to generate the report
when they do
it has to calculte the following
username,week_1_orders,week_2 orders,rest_orders
week_1_orders=first 7 days orders(in the above example ,its 11,12,13,14,15,16,17 of may 2011 total orders)
week2_2_orders=8-14 days of orders (in the above example ,18,19,20,21,22,23,24 of may 2011)
week_3_orders=rest of the date range
how do i get these summaries
any help is appreciated
thanks

Hello,
You can compare date field against your date parameter. So, it is OrderDate.
Also you can get summaries for your amounts by following same formula which was suggested by Lan
Also you can follow below formula to calculate summary on amount .
@Week1_Amt
if {Sheet1_.OrderDate} >= {?Startdate} and {Sheet1_.OrderDate} <={?Startdate}+7 then
else 0
Now insert a summary on this formula.
Thanks,

Crystal Report Grouping Formula

Experts,
In Crystal repot how can we have Grouping formula basis, i.e
there are two coulmns
1. GRPO Doc No
2. GRPO Doc No (Has GRNA)
now if column 2 has value it should do grouping with this or
if column 1 has value then grouping should be done on col1.
Now i have put one field on other in one single Column, so if GRPO Doc No is present it shows value or vice versa

Hi,
Insert Group in crystal reports for
1. GRPO Doc No
2. GRPO Doc No (Has GRNA)
Then supress the groups1 when GRPO Doc No is blank and silarly for other.
it will resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Neetu

Crystal Report grouping issue

I have a report with 2 groups. I first group by Profile then Location with there being 1 Profile and 2 Locations that exist within that profile. I have a subreport in the Location Group header that reports correctly with Location 1 on page 1 and Location 2 on page 2. I then want to summarize the data by profile. I currently have another subreport in the Profile footer that I hoped would accomplish this, but instead I only get the totals from the first location and not the second. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Any suggestions would be helpful.
DSmith

Do you want the sum from each locations? you can use shared variables to pass the values from subreport to main report. Also you mentioned that you placed the subreport in profile footer. Does this subreport consist of all the fields that you have in subreports placed in location1 and location2?

Crystal Reports Grouping Problem

Hello, I am using CRXIR2
I have a report of invoices that is grouped by PO Number. When I run the report, if there are more than one Invoice per PO. I can not see the second or third invoice. I can see the invoice numbers listed in the preview pane but when I click on the invoice number it will not show me the invoice in the report window.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jeff

Hey Jeff,
    Maybe you could show some data. Seems like my head is needing more data, and asking:
    Check the relationship between the PO and Invoice numbers.
    Group on PO, and then invoice numbers. If you can't do that, you might need to start over with the query.
    Try to "right join" the PO table to the invoice table. (If they are in the same table, that could be your problem). This will bring in all the PO's, and only the corresponing invoices.
    Check that the data returned is truely incorrect. Sometimes it IS correct for the way the query is written. (...well, always actually....:)

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

Hi,
I am new to the forums and posted a question which belonged to the .net - SAP Crystal reports group.
Can someone help me with my problem? following is the thread that I have started.
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?
Thank you in advance.

Looking at the original thread, you are connecting to the text file via the DAO database engine:
"I added the text file as follow, new connection -> Access/Excell (DAO) -> select the file and the database type as text"
Thus I would use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database. See Kbase [1218178 - Error: "Logon failed" when connecting to Access database in .NET application|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%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333133373338%7D.do] for more information. If that does not work, you may want to consider connecting via ODBC or feeding the data from the text file to and ADO .NET dataset and pointing the report at the dataset.

Crystal Reports and BW - spec requ'mnts

I have been asked how much more detail is required for a Crystal reports developer, if one is preparing a report spec. I don't know enough about Crystal reports to know. I can detail what is required for a BEx report, but the graphic nature of Crystal reports obviously would need more, I think.
can someone give me an idea of just how much more detail is required in a typical crystal reports spec. Is it mainly graphic and formatting detail, or what?
Thanks in advance for your kind contributions.

I would be very interested in ANY documentation on how to build a Crystal Report against a BW query. I have the BO XI R2 Integration Kit for SAP but it leaves a lot to the imagination. It was useful when I was adding a hierarchy to a group but it says nothing about what can be defined in the query and used by the report. It appears that free characteristics and properties (Expand to Level) are not available within Crystal. Note: I'm using the MDX driver because hierarchies are important.
The issue I'm faced with is related to grouping a hierarchy. I'm building a report that groups both the Division and a Customer Hierarchy. When I group the data in Crystal using a group to represent the Division and a group to display the Customer Hierarchy order everthing appears great. But when I group it By Customer Hierarchy By Division I see divisions in groups I do not see in BEx.
The Integration Kit states you should create a hierarchy by placing the Hierarchy Node ID as the Crystal Reports group field. Then select the Hierarchy Reporting Option and sort the data hierarchically by the Parent ID. This seems to work fine as long as you do not have additional groups below the hierarchy group.
I did print out the data in the details section of the Crystal Report instead of grouping it and noted that these obscure groups in Crystal have NodeIDs which differ from the NodeID of the group which I expect it in. So, does BEx group hierarchies differently. Do they use the UniqueID?
Any help would really be appreciated. Documentation even more so.

Sub report group tree in main report Using crystal report 12

Hi experts,
    I have a strange requirement like, same data needs to be grouped two different ways in a same report. Like
Store1:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
Store2:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
.....it goes like this
Department1(multiple stores)
      summary of sale on each item chart - store1
      summary of sale on each item chart - store2
     --........ it goes
Department2
      summary of sale on each item chart - store3
--........ it goes
   Its in single report, the first part is grouped only with store and in second part the store is under department. How to do this in same report?
    I achieved this by creating a sub report to display the first part of data and in the main report sup report data plus the second part of data will be displayed. And its working well but now the problem is the group tree, I'm not able to see the sub report group tree in the main report.
   How to get the sub report group tree in the main report, Or is there any other better way is there so i can get both the data as well the group tree. Please help me to solve this. CryCryCry
I'm using crystal report 2008(installed separately) with Visual Studio2008 (.Net3.5)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
    Yea both data source are same(Datasource is SQL Stored Procedure). I cant use like that, because my client needs the group tree also. In case if there is no group tree, we can create one more group and supress it conditionaly. But here the problem is there is no way to suppress any of the group item in group tree as we can do it in the detail section.
    So please me with some different ways and also , please clarrify the following doubts
1. Can we supress one or more items in the group tree.
2. Can we get the sub report group tree in main report(Everything is working when i used the sub reports except the group tree). So I'm trying for different ways to do, but none is helping me
Please help me

How to store the value of sum of group in Crystal Report at the runtime!

Hello all,
I creates a Formula Field that hold the value of Sum of Group in Crystal Report. I would like to know how to store it in a variable and pass it to store procedure. Is it an option in Crystal report to do it. I knew that Crystal Report can cache the report for sharing. My detailed issue as following:
- Created a Formula Field named TOTAL AMOUNT that calculated the complex expression. This TOTAL AMOUNT is dynamic based on group and variables.
- I would like to store that value from TOTAL AMOUNT and pass it to the stored procedure parameter IN.
Any helps are much appreciated. Thanks.

I doubt that this is possible since it would only calculate this value once the report has data. This sounds more like a report design question that should be asked over [here|SAP Crystal Reports;
