Date field in Reporting

Hello all ,
We need to display the Start date and the End date along with the time taken to complete the project in a report. I have created a measure called date and the type is a text field. I was able to load data into the date field. But , I am unable to bring the date field into the report. There is a error which is coming. Is it possible to display the date field in the report / KPI ?
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Ricardo ,
I am trying out both the methods. My client is a infrastructure company. It has a number of projects . The client wants to monitor the performance of each of his projects and the overall Delay. My requirement is to display a report which has the actual start date , planned start date , actual end date , planned end date , actual , budget and delay.
I tried to load the date fields into the PAS as a text field. The data load was successful. But when designing the report , I am getting an error. Is it a problem related to text variables ? Is it possible to bring the text variables onto the UI ?
Is there a way to build a report on the data from initiatives in SSM ? Do we need another reporting toll to achieve the same ?
Thanks
Vijay

Discoverer 2000 : Problem in sorting date field on report

Hello,
I am not able to sort on date field on report
it is giving error as
( illegal operation).

Thanks Savitha.
I found one more way of making that code work, just want to share this.
If we add the following statement, the same code works without having to add the time part along with date.
"DBMS_XMLSave.setdateformat(updctx, 'yyyy-MM-dd');"
note the format is case sensitive. Instead of MM, if you give 'mm' it won't work, it uses java format.

Hyperlink on data field crystal report vs 2005

Please help!!!!
I can not set the hyperlink on a data field in *.rpt.
I also set the hyperlink type was A website on internet and filled the website address. But when report display i can not see any link.
Thanks in advanges,

Hello,
(from CR Help file)
You can select a report object on the Design or Preview tab and create a hyperlink to another location.
The hyperlink is saved with your report and is available to other users as a way of viewing additional information.
Note:    Crystal Reports also lets you create hyperlinks with Relative URLs, so your web reports retain independence from their location on any particular server.
To create a hyperlink field
Select a report object on the Design or Preview tab.
On the Format menu, click Hyperlink.
The Format Editor dialog box appears with the Hyperlink tab active.
Click the type of hyperlink you want to create.
The available types in the upper area are:
No Hyperlink
This is the default option. There is no hyperlink associated with the selected report object.
A Website on the Internet
Select this option if you want your report object to be linked to a static web address. Use the formula button to create a URL based on a field value. For example, you might enter the following formula if your Customer Name field contained information that would create a series of meaningful URLs:
"http://www." + {Customer.Customer Name} + ".com"
Note:    You can also use this option to connect to Business Objects, Web Intelligence, and OLAP Intelligence documents (this is also known as report linking). Use the openDocument function to create these hyperlinks in Crystal Reports.
Current Website Field Value
Select this option if you want the program to create a hyperlink out of the field you selected. The field must be stored as a proper hyperlink in your data source.
An E-mail Address
Select this option if you want to create a "mailto" address from the field you selected. Use the formula button to create an address based on a field value.
A File
Select this option to create a hyperlink to a file on a specific computer or networked computer. Use the formula button to create a file path based on a field value.
You can also use a hyperlink of this type to run an EXE with a command-line parameter. Enter the path and application name, and follow it by the parameter for the command.
Current E-mail Field Value
Select this option if you want the program to create an email hyperlink out of the field you selected. The field must be stored as a proper email address in your data source.
The available types in the DHTML Viewer Only area are:
Report Part Drilldown
For information about how to use this option, see The Report Part Drilldown option.
Another Report Object
For information about how to use this option, see The Another Report Object option.
Note:    Not all hyperlink types are available at all times. The object you select and its location on the report determine which types are available.
After you have chosen a hyperlink type, enter the appropriate hyperlink information (the URL of a web site, for example).
Click OK when you are finished.
The hyperlink is inserted as appropriate. Click it on the report to go to the web site, to send an e-mail, and so on.

Posting date field in reports S_SMC_47000016 / S_SMC_47000017

Hi all,
We are using the serice desk function for monitoring the support tickets. I have one quert related to List of notification transactions S_SMC_47000016 / S_SMC_47000017.
In the service desk whenever we run the report of all open notificaitons (S_SMC_47000017) Or Find Support Notifications (S_SMC_47000016), in the list output we do not get any data in the field "Posting Date". We do get the date in field "Valid From", but no information is getting populated in posting Date column.
If we try to search the notifications using the T Code " CRMD_ORDER" and try to get the list of notifications in the find Tab, then here the posting date gets populated.
Could you please let me know if there is any setting which is preventing from Posting Date to be populated in the T Codes S_SMC_47000016 / S_SMC_47000017.
Thanks and Regards,
Narendra

Hi,
We have chnaged the layout already, my question is that in the layout the posting date column is appearing, but the posting date is not getting updated for any notification in the output. The column remains blank.
Thanks and Regards,
Narendra

Data field in Report Designer

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a report. I have used a query as data provider. I was wondering if I can use formulas(adding, multiplying...) in report designer as user wants to see calculated values in the report. Could you please let me know how to achieve that in Report designer as I have noticed that all cells are identified as texts.
Many thanks in advance
Regards
Shanthi

Hi Vachan,
this is where i am confused. So you are saying that I can not do any manupulations(like dividing a value by 1000) in Report Designer then??
Just to be clear,
Say in Excel, while formatting, we can perform functions using one cell referrence in another. cell2=cell1*1000 where as cell1 is part of the query result and cell 2 is calculated after cell1 does.
Regards
Shanthi.

Date field - Hourly report

Hello All,
If I have a table 'TMP_LOGING' with a date column 'Created' and a number column 'LOGINS', how can I pull hourly logins from these table?
Thanks!

Hi,
If you pass a 2nd argument to TRUNC (dt), it (basically) returns the DATE that is like dt as far as the 2nd argument specifies, but with all the smaller time divisions set to their lowest possible values.
SELECT        TRUNC (created, 'HH')     AS hour
,        COUNT (*)                  AS total_logins
FROM        tmp_loging
GROUP BY   TRUNC (created, 'HH')
ORDER BY   TRUNC (created, 'HH')
;If created is
June 18, 2010 14:09:48, then TRUNC (created, 'HH') returns
June 18, 2010 14:00:00.
That is, since the 2nd argument was the format specifier for hours, the hour of the two DATEs, and all the larger time divisions (day, mont, and year) are the same, but the smaller time divisions (minute, second) of the value returned are as low as they can possibly be.

Chart report Condition fields and Data fields

Hi all,
i have tried chart report by adding two condion fields and one data field, the report is more meaning full in this scenario. the first condition field is taken as x-axis, the 2nd condition fields is taken as legend.
while adding more condition fields and data fields, i feel its not showing meaningfull data.
can anyone explain how the condition fields and data fileds are manipulated by crystal report.
i am using CR XI R2 Server.
Thanks
Padmanaban V

i am using Crystal Report XI R2 RAS Embedded in my server.
as we can add any number condition fields programatically using the method
ConditionField.Add(FieldObj), i would like to know how these fields are manipulated internally by the RAS server.
that means, what is the significance of condition fieldobject 1, condition fieldobject 2,condition fieldobject 3 etc...
if i add more than two condition fields , RAS Chart Report always returns 0 as legend value for all legends.
Thanks in advance

Padmanaban V

System date format in reports (winnt)

Hello All,
I am using oracle report bulder 6.0.5.35. on winnt
i have to show all the date fields in my report in the system format (as specified in the regional settings in control panel)
i couldn't find a direct solution, so what i did was to create a user defined parameter and pass the system date format as a string to the report at runtime (this report is invoked from VC++, so i can pass the local setting as a string at runtime)
after this, in BEFORE REPORT trigger i use the following code
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format',:dat);
--where dat is the user parameter.
shouldn't this change the date format for the current session. but this is not happening. (i have not set date formats for any date fields in report)
i am not getting the output in format that i passed, but always i am getting in 'dd-mon-yy' format.
can anybody please help. is there any other solution.
thanks and regards,
Pinto.
null

hello,
the DBMS_SESSION changes the settings on the database side. as reports has it's own client-side NLS settings this does not have any influence on the output.
the client-side settings are defined by the NLS_LANG settings in the registry on the client.

Mandatory field in report

Hi,
I have a date field on report.
Now this needs to be mandatory and report should be run in batch mode with a variant.
Also when the report is run the first time the date should not be taken from the selection screen input but from TVARV, this is fine, logic can be written for this.
However since date is a mandatory field and the only way to check whether user input or TVARV needs to be selected is the FIRST ot the subsequesnt runs of the report.
How to find out if the report has run first time, it is being scheduled as a batch job with a variant.

Hello,
As you want to make the DATE field in your report as mandatory and will be picking up the last run date (DATE) from the same table whenever your run the table then while you are fetching the date from TVARV table , for the first time as there is no data stored in TVARV table for your program your query will fail. In this case i.e. sy-subrc = 4, please create a enrty in the same table.
I am assuming that you will be updating the DATE (last run date) in TVARV table everytime after the successfull execution of the program.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Jayant.

How do I apply filters or limit the rows on my report using a Date field in SQL report builder 3.0?

I have a status of completed and a date field in the dataset. The date field is either empty or contains a date. All 2015 dates are holding dates.
So how can I limit the report to only pull completed status with an empty date or a holding date?
I have not been able to set an OR option on a date field filter and if I add two filters on the date column one for empty one for > 12/31/2014 then it treats it as an "and" and pulls nothing from the list I have in sharepoint.
any help will be appreciated.

Hi MB,
In Reporting Services, the relationship of filters is “And”, and there is no option to change the relationship from “And” to “Or”. While we can use “or” operator within the expression to create one filter to integrated all filters to work around this
issue.
We can add a filter as follows in the dataset to limit the rows in your report:
Expression: =Fields!date.Value is nothing or Fields!date.Value>"12/31/2014" Type: Boolean
Operator: =
Value: true
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

CRVS2010 beta - Date field from database does not display in report

Hi there - can someone please help?!
I am getting a problem where a date field from the database does not display in the report viewer (It displays on my dev machine, but not on the client machines...details given below)
I upgraded to VS 2010
I am using the CRVS2010 Beta
My development machine is Windows 7 - and so is my fellow developer's
We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2000
We run the queries within VS and then we send the data table to VS using .SetDataSource
We have a few reports which display the date on our dev machines (whether we run the EXE or from within Visual Studio)
When we roll out to the client machines (running Windows XP SP3) then everything works, except that the date does not display (on quite a few reports)
This is the only real issue I have had - a show stopper for me
The rest works well - any input will be greatly appreciated

Ridwan

Hi Ridwan,
After much testing I have it all working now using CRDB_adoplus.dll as a data source ( XML )
Alter your Config file to look like this:
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
</startup>
Then using the code below, and CR requires the Schema to be able to read the date format.
private void SetToXML_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
ISCDReportClientDocument rcd;
rcd = rptClientDoc;

string sqlString = "Select * From Orders";
OleDbConnection oleConn = new OleDbConnection(connString);
OleDbDataAdapter oleAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(sqlString, oleConn);
//OleDbDataAdapter oleAdapter2 = new OleDbDataAdapter(sqlString2, oleConn);
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable("Orders");
oleAdapter.Fill(dt1);
System.Data.DataSet ds = new System.Data.DataSet();
// We need the schema to get the data formats
ds.WriteXml("c:
sc.xml", XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema);
//Create a new Database Table to replace the reports current table.
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table boTable = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table();

//boInnerPropertyBag: These hold the attributes for the QE_LogonProperties
//In the main property bag (boMainPropertyBag)
PropertyBag boInnerPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
//Set the attributes for the boInnerPropertyBag
boInnerPropertyBag.Add("File Path ", @"C:\sc.xml");
boInnerPropertyBag.Add("Internal Connection ID", "{680eee31-a16e-4f48-8efa-8765193dccdd}");
//Set the attributes for the boMainPropertyBag

boMainPropertyBag.Add("QE_ServerDescription", "NewDataSet");
boMainPropertyBag.Add("QE_SQLDB", "False");

//Create a new ConnectionInfo object
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo boConnectionInfo =

boTables = rptClientDoc.DatabaseController.Database.Tables;
//For each table in the report:
// - Set the Table Name properties.
// - Set the table location in the report to use the new modified table
boTable.Name = "Orders";
boTable.QualifiedName = "Orders";
boTable.Alias = "Orders";
rptClientDoc.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(boTables[0], boTable);
//Verify the database after adding substituting the new table.
//To ensure that the table updates properly when adding Command tables or Stored Procedures.
rptClientDoc.VerifyDatabase();
MessageBox.Show("Data Source Set", "RAS", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
Thanks again
