Crystal Repts XI - Adding labels to summary fields in crosstab report

I have a crosstab report where
Columns
first-level are priority or non-priority schools
second-level are priority type
Rows
First-level: month
second-level: count of calls opened this month; sum of time spent; opened prior to reportstart and still open, closed this month
The row label for sum of time spent specifies that the time is in hours.  However, our Curriculum and Instruction department wants each data cell in that row to include the abbreviation hrs.  In other words, the row label would say Time spent on requests closed this month(hrs) and each cell would say 10.5 hrs  2 hrs, etc.  Can anyone help with this?

Thank you!  This solved my problem.  It took me awhile to find where I could change the currency sign to display on the right but once I did it worked like a charm (we're and educational system, we rarely get to report on money).
For others who don't know where to find this:
- right click the field and select Format Field
- on the Number tab of the format editor, select Display Currency Symbol
- click Customize
- click the Currency Symbol tab of the Custom Style Editor
- in the Position menu choose the selection with the currency symbol on the right
- in the Currency Symbol box type hrs.
Save, save, and done!

  • How to avoid the Summary Fields in CrossTab

    Hi all,
    I have created a report using crosstab view,,,in that i have selected two fields in the value column..but in the summary field i need to select only one column....
    but i cann't select only one field in the summary..Is that possible....if so please help me on this.....
    Thank You,
    Katchsathish

    Hi Kuldeep,
    Condition 1:
    If you try to take one Dimension and one measure like Year and sales revenue using e-fashion demo universe then new column inserted will be nested when using cross tab where the measure values will be spread across multiple columns.
    In this case you have to use condition to refer individual column names like
    =[Sales revenue] Where([Year]="2001" )+ [Sales revenue] Where([Year]="2002")
    and calculate the sum.
    Select the measure column in the cross tab then click  the u201CInsert Sumu201D button it will display the sum in the last column of the cross tab then you can modify the formula generated to specify the condition which columnu2019s sum you want o display in that column.
    Ex:  Use e-Fashion universe and take Year and sales Revenue turn it to cross tab and follow the process I mentioned.
    Condition 2:
    However if you use one dimension and multiple measure like the one you are using where you are trying to calculate sum of col1+col2 and so on. In this case you can directly insert the column and calculate the sum of column referring their names.
    Ex: Use e-Fashion universe and take objects Year, Sales revenue. Quantity sold, Discount, margin here you can directly sum individual column values like sales revenue, quantity sold and discount +margin by inserting the column in between the columns using u201Cinsert Columnu201D
    I  Hope this helpsu2026

  • Hyperlink from summary field in crosstab??

    I want to enable a hyperlink on a summary field in a crosstab so that clicking on it will produce a subreport of the detailed items that are included in the count displayed in the summary field.
    Keeping my username in mind ;-> I have tried everything I could think of and haven't found the magic incantation yet. I was expecting to be able to select a drill down, but that radio button is greyed out for the field I want to hyperlink from. I've tried a multitude of sane and insane things within all of the hyperlink tabs I could find, but no success.
    I've read as much of the documentation as I could find, both from the CD and online, and I'm stumped.
    Has anyone done this, and if so, could you please offer some tips??
    Thanks!!!!

    One thought I have is to right-click on the field in the cross-tab and select "Format Object".  I'm using CR for VS2005 and I have a Hyperlink tab that allows me to configure a hyperlink.  Using this hyperlink, you could navitage to another webform with another report to display the details for that summary.  Just a suggestion!

    Please provide your vaulable suggestions.

    Hi Alexandro,
    The changes what you need to be done is in the standard screen. Obiviously we all know changing the standard things are not a good practice. if you need you can have separate header tab and line item tab in the Purchase order.

    Your screen shot shows that you have nothing selected as a summary. So, there is nothing to display in the layout. What is your exact problem? The available fields don't look like you can SUM them, so the option is not available.
    we founded Creating summary / formula columns in data model does not show them in paper layoutIf you add them later on, you can manually add them in the layout.

  • Functions in Calculation and Summary Fields

    Hi,
    I'll give a bit of background to my situation before describing the advice I'm looking for here.
    I am experienced Mac user and I have used AW a fair bit in the past, but since I've been working in a job which has Windows machines and uses a complex custom-written relational database for its main tool, I use it less often than I did, so I am a little rusty. It is the shortcomings of the complex relational database (which I do not have admin rights to) that has led me back to AW and its database module.
    Essentially, I am a complaints investigator, and the relational database provided by my employer is used to keep track of correspondence and various metadata associated with the investigation of the complaint. However, although it is called a Complaints Management System (CMS), it does not help me manage my caseload very well. I've previously tried to create an Excel spreadsheet that would help me manage my work, but it is not a database (or I am not sufficiently skilled with Excel) and I cannot get it to provide me with what I want.
    So, my problems.
    I have complaints (cases) assigned to me to investigate. These cases have differing priorities, which means differing time limits for completion of the investigation. The priorities and time limits are set out below:
    J (jurisdictional issues) - time limit = 1 month
    D (discretion not to investigate) - time limit = 3 months
    1 - time limit = 4 months
    2 - time limit = 6 months
    3 - time limit = 12 months
    The priority field in my AW DB is currently a 'pop-up menu' field, but I could change this to another type if this would be advisable.
    I have a date-type field in which I enter the date the complaint was received. I have an calculation-type field in which I calculate the age of the complaint using the function:
    =(NOW()-'DateReceived')
    This returns an age in days, which I input into a separate calculation field that divides the result of 'age in days' by 30, to give a rough approximation of the number of months old the complaint is (If AW has an equivalent to Excel's 'workdays' variable, I'd love to hear about it). This latter field is the one that I display in the main data entry view of the database.
    Given the priority assigned to the complaint, and the age of it, I am either 'On Target' or 'Over Target' for completing the investigation.
    Each month I have a meeting with my manager to review progress, and since the reports that can be extracted from the CMS are not very useful for this purpose, I want my AW database to help me generate reports that can form the basis of discussion in these meetings.
    Part A of My Query
    At present, I have a manually operated field, in the form of a pop-up menu, to indicate for each record (complaint) whether I am over or on target for completion of the investigation. I would like to make this a calculated field, so that the database keeps track of this for me automatically. Unfortunately, I'm either too dense, or not good enough with the syntax of AW functions, to be able to write a function which essentially does the following:
    IF 'Priority'=1 AND 'Age in Months'<4 THEN 'On Target' ELSE 'Over Target'
    - and then repeats that for the other priority possibilities.  It seems likely that the 'IF' function is what I'm after, but I haven't been able to get the syntax right to combine 'Priority' and 'Age in Months' in the format spelt out in the AW help, which is:
    =IF(logical,true value,false value)
    Getting the syntax of one part of this function right would be a good start. However, I suspect that I have a larger problem, in that I have 5 priorities to measure against and I need the overall calculation (that produces the 'On Target' or 'Over Target' results) to report in one result field. This means nesting the functions that look at the 5 priorities and 5 age limits. I've tried and failed to get the syntax of such nesting right, so advice on this is doubly welcome.
    Unfortunately, I have a sneaking suspicion that unless the answer is much more concise than I imagine it to be, there will be an additional problem: AW appears to have a character limit for the length of a function string in a calculation field which may be too short for my needs.  If you think this is an issue but that it can be solved through the use of intermediate fields (which don't need to be displayed in the main 'data entry' layout), I'm happy to give that a shot.
    Part B of my Query
    Even if the problem above cannot be solved, and I have to manually enter whether a complaint is 'On Target' or 'Over Target', I have a separate but related question for the reports I have to present to my manager.
    On these reports, I would like to have a summary at the top of the first page (in a grand-summary part, I assume) which gives a count of how many complaints are 'On Target' or 'Over Target' for each priority. Below that is a sub-summary part, ordered by the type of action that must next be taken in the investigation. (Getting that right may be a subject of a separate post at a later date.) The report must, of course, only report on those complaints that are still being investigated ('open complaints') and not those which have been completed ('closed complaints'). So, I need a function in a summary field which will present an accurate count of the number of open complaints that are 'on target' for priority J (with separate summary fields that do the same thing for priorities D, 1, 2, and 3), and a separate set of summary fields that will present a count of open complaints that are 'over target' for each type of priority.
    It might look a bit like this table below, with figures from the summary fields populating the cells in the third row:
    Priority
    J
    D
    1
    2
    3
    In / Out of Target
    In
    Out
    In
    Out
    In
    Out
    In
    Out
    In
    Out
    Number of Complaints
    My guess is that it is easier to have the summary field simply count all the complaints that are on or over target for a given priority, regardless of whether they are open or closed, since the report could be based on a saved search (match) which strips out all closed complaints. But if I'm off-beam with that idea, I'm happy to have another way of cracking this nut.
    Many thanks in advance to any Community members that take the time to try and help me with this.
    Andrew
    PS Cross posted in AWUG forum too, if people prefer to answer there.

    Hi Andrew,
    Part A:
    I've done some restating of the question, and distributed the calculations among several fields, not all of which need to be included on the visible layout. Other than formatting the Date fields and moving the 'Completed Date' field and its label, I've left this in the default "Layout 1" produced by AppleWorks.
    Field List:
    Priority: Popup menu with six items: 00, J, D, 1, 2, 3  Defaults to 00
    TL (time limit in months): Calculation:  CHOOSE('Priority',0,1,3,4,6,12)
    Received: Date. Option: Automatically insert today's date (ie. Date Record created) (may be edited)
    Target Date: Calculation:
    DATE(YEAR('Received')+INT(MONTH('Received')+'TL')/12,MOD(MONTH('Received')+'TL', 12),DAY('Received'))
    Remaining (Days): Calculation: INT('Target Date'+1-NOW())  (see revision below)
    Completed: Checkbox. Set default value to Unchecked.
    Completed Date: Date: Entered manually
    OnTarget: Calculation: IF('Completed',IF('Completed Date'<'Target Date',"On Target","Over"),IF(INT(NOW())>'Target Date',"Over","On Target"))
    The On Target field shows the current status of the case while still open, and the state on the closing date when it was closed.
    Having done that, I was unhappy with the Remaining field continuing to calculate an ever larger negative number after the case had been closed. Hence this revision below:
    Remaining: Calculation: IF('Completed','Target Date'-'Completed Date',INT('Target Date'+1-NOW()))
    Shows the number of days remaining while the case is open, the days remaining at completion if the case has been marked Completed and the completion date entered.
    Rsults (and some further formatting of the Layout) below.
    Part B:
    You will need Subsummary parts when sorted on Completed and on On Target. Fields can appear on  a Layout only once, so each subsummary part will need a separate Summary type field for each field to be summarized.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Is there a limit to no. of summary fields that can be used in a cross tab?

    Hi,
    While creating a cross tab is there a limitation to number of summarized fields that can be used?
    - The cross tab when uses 184 fields as summary fields leads to Crystal report application to crash at the time of export to excel.
    - Tried with two Datasources: XML and excel
    - If we reduce the number of summary fields used to 102 exactly, export works fine in excel.
    - If 2 cross tabs are used each containing 92 summary fields(in order to show 184) export to excel works fine.
    Please let me know if there is any such limitation which leads to CR application to crash when exporting in excel?
    Thanks

  • Selection criteria are not applied to summary fields on group footers.

    I wonder if anyone can help me with this problem.  I am using Crystal reports version 11.2, and my data source is a Sql Server view.
    The records on the view have a date field, and I have selected all records within a given date range in "Selection Formulas".
    The records are then grouped, and the Crystal summary facility used to summarise number fields on the group footers.
    So for example, if my view contains four records, one with field "amount" = 2, one with field "amount" = 8, one with field "amount" = 6, one with field "amount" = 3, but only the first two records are within the valid date range, you would expect to see the first two records listed out at detail level, then field "amount" summarised at group level, with a summarised value of 10.
    ie ....                record1                      2
                           record2                      8   
                           group level total         10
    This works fine when I run the report using Crystal's "print preview" facility.  However, when the report is run from within an application written in C#.NET, the selection criteria are not applied to the summary field, so you get ..
                           record1                      2
                           record2                      8   
                           group level total          19
    I tried putting the date selection criteria at both record and group level, but that did not work.
    I googled the problem and found an article explaining that Crystal first performs the record-level selection, then it creates the groups and totals up any summary fields, and only then does it apply the group-level selection criteria, which can lead to problems like the one I have described above.  However, since I have put my date selection criteria at both record and group level, I do not understand why I still get the problem.
    In one report I got round this problem by creating a formula that returned zero if the record date was outside of the valid date range, and returned the number field to be summarised if the date was valid, then summarising that formula, instead of summarising the number field directly.
    In other reports I created one formula to set a shared variable as zero, then another formula to accumulate it at detail record level, then another formula to display the variable at the group footer.  In other words, I did not bother with the Crystal summary facility at all, but created my own summary facility.
    While googling the problem to see what other people did in this situation, I noticed that most fixes used variations of the "shared variables and formulae" fix to get round the problem.
    The problem is that I have lots of complex reports and it will take ages to replace the summarised fields with shared variables and formulae.  The reports were initially tested with "Print Preview" so we did not notice this problem until the C#.Net application was ready to use them.  And I can't believe that you are simply meant to ignore the summary facility and re-invent the wheel by doing it all manually.
    Please tell me that there is something simple that I have been doing wrong!!!  If I have not given enough information for you to answer, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Anne-Marie

  • Ordering of formula and summary fields - Reports6i

    Hello,
    I want to know if it is possible to make certain order of field (XML tags) in XML.
    If I have ordinary field that I get from SQL I can put it in the place that I want it to be and position in xml is OK, but when I put formula or summary field on certain place in xml file it is always on last place.
    For example:
    I have sql with 3 fields (one, two, three) and two formula fields (fo1, fo2). In report they are in this order:
    1. one
    2. fo1
    3. two
    4. fo2
    5. three
    but in xml file I get this order:
    <body>
    <edp:bodyContent>
    </one>
    </two>
    </three>
    </fo1>
    </fo2>
    </edp:bodyContent>
    </body>
    and I wish to have this order in xml:
    <body>
    <edp:bodyContent>
    </one>
    </fo1>
    </two>
    </fo2>
    </three>
    </edp:bodyContent>
    </body>
    Is this possible and if so how?
    Thanks for your help

    Finally, I got the fix.
    Here is what I did: Instead of the format mask '000' or '099' or '0nn' I used '000Y'
    adding a Y supresses the extra space that is reserved for + or - sign. And supression need to be added at the end like I showed, not like 'Y000'.
    Now my data looks like this, which is what I wanted:
    04/23/20120020123.451234.5610/24/2008
    If you look close, there are no spaces now as compard to my previous data line.
    Thank you all both for spending some time and giving me pointers.

Maybe you are looking for
