Crystal XI report formatting question

I have a report specification where is data arranged in twelve months - Two rows of six months... Looks like two excel spreadsheets printed on the same landscape legal sized piece of paper.  There are three levels of drill down.  The twelve section headings and structure line remain on the report, but the monthly data populates only when there is data for that month, otherwise the data elements are supressed.
The problem is using the two rows of six months....I have the first level detail displaying correctly by having the first six months of data in the main report and a subreport in the report footer.  I need the drill down to work on both the report and subreport for all three drilldown levels.  My understanding is that the drill down for the subreport will only go one level?
I there some way to have the report twelve months wide and have a horizontal page break or wrap (at six months) to create the second six months below?
Any other formatting ideas for this one?
I am using Crystal XI
Thanks

Have you considered a cross-tab sized to only show the first six months on one page?  Or manually storing values to display into one or more arrays and hard coding the desired format?

Who is also thinking you could group by a formula that divides your records into one of two six month periods...

    New(ish) to Crystal, running XI and enjoying it.
    I have a simple landscape report showing the last 7 days summary of jobs from a database that records our daily production, and it simply reports 12 fields across the page, and has 2 groups - date and job name (for drill-down detail).  It also has 6 stats charts.  I have a drill-down set up, but is there any way of NOT reporducing the row of original data across the top of the drill-down page so I can display it portrait as a detailed view?  I will be adding a number of calculated fields and detailed charts as well, but it looks a bit naff at the moment.  I've tried sub-reports, drills-down etc, but it's not right.  Am I missing something?

    I did wonder about that.  Will just have to live with it. 
    Can I open a sub-report as a completely seperate report with totally different formatting as opposed to a drill-down section?  It's just that having a single row of data 5mm from the top of the page is REALLY irritating and I want to put it into the main body of the sub-rpt.

    Hi Neetu,
    Do you wish that at all customer site all concern involved in implemtation do the same work ?
    I believe ERP is meant for single entry system, and it should be true for implementation also, why to invest man hours for the same task ?
    I expect it standard reports should be released by SAP, so that speed of implementation improve, we have more nos. of satisfied customers.
    customised reports is all together different and it is understood that it is needed to be developed after study the exact requirement.

    I created several reports in ClearQuest v2003.6.15 using Crystal Reports v10. When a user tries to run these reports from his machine he gets the following error:"Problems executing ReportContact your ClearQuest administrator to verify that a supported version of Crystal Reports has been installed.Couldn't create Crystal Reports Engine for report format version 10.0"My version of CR is compatible with this version of CQ and he shouldn't need CR installed to run the reports so I'm not sure what the issue is?

    I have the same problem with ClearQuest 7.0.1.1, except the error contains 'version 11.0' instead of 10.0.This happened when I installed Crystal Reports XI Pro designer.  I followed the procedure to manually uninstall and re-install CR, which allowed me to to author report formats, but I still get this error when trying to view report in the ClearQuest for Windows client.  I tried to re-register all the CR viewer DLLs I could find, but still no luck.Any suggestions?  Thanks,Nate

  • Seeking help in converting Excel report to Crystal (Related to format)

    All,
    I'm trying to create the report found in this image into a crystal report
    http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/7/7/2/0/4/webimg/144238299_o.jpg
    I've got the data but I now stuck on the format.
    Col B = Application
    Row 1 = Report range (Lastweek, Last2week, last3week, last4week) - I've created a weekheader field within my data.
    Row 2 = Avail and Reponse
    How do I get my report to show Avail and RT side by side?
    I thought this would be a simple crosstab report but that doesn't work.
    Thanks

    My datasource is a Oracle DB.
    Let me clarify
    I'm attempting to automate a manual report.
    Manual method
    Query DB from Access and export into Excel for formatting
    Automation effort
    Query and format in Crystal
    Schedule report using Enterprise.
    So I'm trying to recreate the format that I was able to do in Excel in Crystal.

  • XI R2 To 3.1 Sp2 migration and report format issues

    Hello,
    is there a way to fix or troubleshoot report format issues after migrating to 3.1?
    We have a heavy report that the format (the way the report looks) is very important. In crytal Reports 2008 sp2 the format is OK.
    But from BOE CMC or from url reporting the report format have problems.
    Thank you

    Hi Ruhver,
    Crystal Report documents are heavily dependant on the printer driver for formatting.  If you design the report using a specific default driver than it will be dependant on that printer driver for formatting.  When you publish it to Enterprise, the same printer driver may not exist so the report will be re-formated to fit the default driver on the server, or if no driver exists, it will use an internal method to format the report. 
    Try this as a test.
    1) Open your report in the CR 2008 designer.
    2) Click on the File/Page Setup. 
    3) Select the "No Printer" option.  This tells the report to use this internal method to format the report
    4) Save this document as "Title - No Printer"
    5) Export it to Enterprise
    6) Test this report again.  Formatting should be identical in BOE vs CR.
    Keep in mind that when you change the driver in step 3, the report in the designer will re-format.  You may need to tweak the report again in order for the formatting to be as desired.
    Test this out and if you require further assistance with this, I would suggest opening a message.  This is a common issue and a support engineer could likely help you with this pretty easily.
    Hope this helps,

  • 3.0 Shared Component - Report Format - all PDF

    Greetings,
    Details
    I have been working with the REPORTS - REPORT QUERIES section of APEX 3.0
    The testing I have been doing is very simple, but I am running into a bit of a stumper.
    I have created 4 report queries on the EMP table (SELECT * FROM EMP) that all use the same REPORT LAYOUT. The RTF file which is the template is a very simple - show all columns and rows for the EMP table (14 rows).
    I have set each of the 4 report layouts to a different format.
    1 - PDF
    1 - EXCEL
    1 - WORD
    1 - HTML
    I am NOT using the ITEM to dynamically set the format.
    I can TEST each of the reports in the shared component area, and they test OK with a success rate of 75%.
    The EXCEL format does not export correctly. (using Excel 2002 on the client) It is a bit of a mess. (Works in the XML publisher template builder on the client.. so the format is not the issue.)
    More curious is the behavior when I put this application. I have created a LIST of the 4 report formats. All 4 return the PDF format when used.
    To see the Application:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=34096
    Question Summary:
    1 - Has anyone run with and tested the RTF style report layouts out to Excel?
    2 - The approach described usees 4 report queries against 1 layout. Is this a VALID use of the report functionality?
    3 - Why would all the reports try to use PDF when they test in the correct formats?
    Best Regards and Thank You.
    -- Tim

    Tim,
    The Excel output is not strictly XLS, it's actually HTML formatted in a way that Excel understands and through setting the MIME-types we make it open in Excel. I have to try reproducing your specific problem with Excel 2002. If you could send me your RTF layout and the end-result ([email protected]), I can take a look.
    Your approach using 4 different queries with the same layout is perfectly fine. Ideally of course, you would not have to replicate them same query four times, so we are considering a shared query concept for future version of Application Express.
    You specific problem with the output format being PDF at runtime appears to be a bug, I'll investigate further. Meanwhile one work-around would be to use a report region instead. If you're using the same SQL query as the source, you can associate the same report layout (on the report print attributes page). You could also create a "container" page for that report region, that's never actually called by the end user, and then have a button pointing to the URL below for printing. It would then work just like your report queries, only that you now would get the requested format:
    f?p=&APP_ID.:[REPORT PAGE ID]:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R[REPORT REGION ID]
    so if your app ID is 34096 and your "container" page e.g. 99, and on page 99 your report region ID would be 1234567890, then use this URL as the button target:
    f?p=&APP_ID.:99:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1234567890
    Hope this helps,

  • Advanced Report Formating and HTMLDB?

    Hello,
    I do have created a 'report' component type based on a SQL query with this output:
    Alien|1979|Ridley Scott|Sci-Fi|DVD|http://www.imdb.com/title/tt
    Alien|1979|Ridley Scott|Action|DVD|http://www.imdb.com/title/tt
    My desired output is this:
    Alien|1979|Ridley Scott|Sci-Fi|DVD|http://www.imdb.com/title/tt
    ____|____|__________|Action|____|____________________________
    The "|" is a column border. Basically I do have 2 rows where all column values are duplicated except for genre (Action, Sci-Fi). I would like to have noly one row, and Action right below Sci-Fi. In SQL, I can use BREAK ON NODUPLICATES, but how to achieve this in HTMLDB?
    In addition, I would like to have "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt" as an hyperlink (clickable).
    Thank you for any advice.

  • Help on report formatting

    Hi all,
    Ok dumb question but I am going to ask anyway.....
    I have a report that I want to break on emp supv so that each supv gets a separate page of their emps....
    is there a way to make my report break to a new page or a new block so that when I export to excel I can break.
    The report currenlty lists the supv then emp details then a new supv then emp details but there are no gaps in the report ( i.e. separation to a new page, line break etc)
    Currently we do not have printing setup in Apex to use pdf, etc and I have asked Dba to set it up. If I export the report to excel, while supv is grouped with their list of emps, there are no breaks and in excel I will have to manipulate to provide each supv their list.
    ...I am trying to provide an easy way for user to print each supv to their own page prior to print server config being installed inside of apex - is this even possible?
    I have been to the column breaks portion on report formatting of my report app and all I can see is to break by columns 1, 2 ,3 or all three but no way to tell it to separate.
    Regards
    Danny

    You can't really do a page break in an excel file download. You would have to go into Excel and do the formatting to do that..

  • Risk Analysis Reports Format

    Hello Experts,
    What is main difference between Risk Analysis Report Formats ....
    Summary
    Detail
    Management Summary
    Executive Summary
    Please explain in depth and which scenarios we are using these reports. Please give a one business example.
    Regards,
    Babu

    Dear Babu,
    trying to help you.
    Summary: gives you an overview of conflicts on action level. Can be used to discuss with business what is causing the risk.
    Detail: gives you an overview of conflicts on authorization level. Can be used to analyze how a conflict can be removed.
    Management summary: gives you an overview of risks on user level. Can be used to report how many risks are currently in the system on user level. E.g. userA has 3 risks, userB has 2 risks, etc.
    Executive Summary: gives you an overview of risks on risk level. Can be used to have a general overview of applicable risks in the system. E.g. riskA has no conflicts, riskB has 7 conflicts, etc.
    Best if you just analyze and you will see the differences. If you have a particular question do not hesitate to contact us.

  • Additional Results - ASCII Report Format

    Hello All,
    When using "Additional Results", and having an ASCII Report Format, how do you increase the "Name" beyond 26 characters?
    Its like there are 2 invisible columns, to accomodate for "Name" and "Value to log", but you can only use a 26 character Name, before you enter the second column.
    Any ideas?

    Hey kalachnik,
    This can be done, but it might take a bit of modification.
    The first thing I did was add the ReportOptions callback to my sequence file. In that callback, I added a Statement step with the following expression: Parameters.ReportOptions.LabelSize = 60    . This allows names up to 60 characters long in the results. 
    However, the downside to this is that the Value to Log of the additional results will no longer line up with the result of normal steps, such as an Action step. Since this makes the report difficult to understand, we should probably increase the space between the name and value columns for all report results. That will require modifying the report generation sequence.
    1) Go to Configure > Result Processing, click the Options button for the report, and on the Contents tab, set the report generator to Sequence instead of DLL. This allows us to make changes in a TestStand sequence file to affect the report generation.
    2) Navigate to <TestStand>\Components\Models\TestStand Models and open reportgen_txt.seq. This is the sequence file which controls ASCII report generation. Find the sequence called PutOneResultInReport_lmpl. This sequence puts a single result line into the report.
    3) One of the steps is "Get Gap String", and it has a statement of the following form: Locals.GapBetweenNameAndResult = Locals.StepNameLength >= 30 ? " " : Left("                               ", 30 - Locals.StepNameLength). This statement indents the result by 31 spaces if the step name is longer than 30 characters, or by 30-(length of step name) if the name is shorter than 30 characters. We need to change those thresholds.
    4) Set the expression to the following: Locals.GapBetweenNameAndResult = Locals.StepNameLength >= 60 ? " " : Left("                                                             ", 60 - Locals.StepNameLength).  I changed both instances of "30" to "60", and changed the blank string from 31 spaces to 61. This will cause the results to be indented further, which makes the Name column wider on the report.
    This should do it, and of course you can tweak the actual values for your specific needs. You might also consider using one of the other report formats, such as XML or ATML. These formats are a bit more dynamic and can more easily handle longer names. I hope it helps, and let us know if you have any more questions about it!

    Question #1: What is the source of this movie? Is it from a minidv camera via firewire? ..... USB 2? ...... or something else?
    Most of the time updates and most upgrades proceed rather smoothly when it comes to apple's i-apps / software (But not always). I prefer never to update in the middle of a project. I'll often wait, finish the project with the older version, and then update.
    Question # 2: Have you already tried exporting as a QT movie / file and then over to iDvd?

  • Crystal 10 Reports fail with error: "Load Report Failed"

    Hi,
    this seems to be a mystery. A client has Crystal 10 reports run from a Visual Studio 2003 application  (.NET 1.1) running fine on and old server.
    Once the .NET application is installed on a new Windows 2003 server, all Crystal 10 reports fail with the error message: "Load report failed" Source: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReport.Engine.
    I set the worker process in the application pool to "system admin" and all Crystal reports failed. I had thought it was a security issue. I even removed Crystal 10 and installed Crystall XI Developer Edition and all reports raised the exact same error message from CrystalDecisions.CrystalReport.Engine.
    Crystal does call the stored procedure to retrieve the data but cannot load the PDF. I have used 3 different physical servers, one Win 2003 64-bit and two Win 2003  32-bit and get the same error.
    Help!
