Does Xcelsius support Cross Tab report via Live Office?

-Operating System: Windows XP
-OS Patch level: Service Pack 3
-Office Version: 2007
-Flash Player version: 10
-Xcelsius Version and Patch Level: Enterprise 2008 with SP2 (version: 5.2.0.0)
-Xcelsius Build number (Help>About Xcelsius): 12,2,0,608
-Business Objects Enterprise version/patch level (if applicable): Edge 3.1
-Issue Description:
I have a dashboard which collects data via Live Office from a series of Webi documents and Crystal Reports. I have found that if I create a report that has for instance sales regions down the left and months across the top using a cross tab in either Crystal Reports or as a Webi the data will only refresh within the current month, so for instance if I create the report in October the sales figure for October will update happily until the last day of the month but on the first of November no sales figures will show in the new month and I have to manually refresh the report in Xcelsius and issue a new Dashboard to my users. This makes me wonder whether Cross Tab reports are actually supported via Live Office. If I use formulas in Crystal Reports and manually build a report that looks like this but uses formulas it works fine, but is obviously a much slower process than simply building a Webi cross tab.
Your views and help would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,
You can bind cross tab reports from your WebI reports into Xcelsius using an integration tool called[ Xcelsius Web Intelligence Intregration Suite|http://www.antivia.com/products-xcelsius.stm].
This will give you the full functionality of Web Intelligence inside an Xcelsius dashboard- drill-down, cross tabs, even an ad hoc query panel, all bound into the Xcelsius interface.
This would remove the need to use QaaWs or Live Office, so you can probably realize some performance gains and handle larger data volumes.

Andrew

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Please see below answers to your question:
When you say that you are not able to connect from Word Live office to server - in this are you able to see Live Office tab in word document?
Yes, I can see the Live Office tab. When I try to connect to the server to insert a crystal report I get the message "constructor exception (error: WSE 99999) Unknown error "-1""
Did the installation process was done properly?
As far as I am aware, yes.
Which version of Live office you are using? because it will help to proceed further.
LIVE OFFICE XI 3.1 (version 12.1.0.882)
Where exactly you are not getting the Crystal Reports Options? Are you facing any error message?If Yes then what is the error message.
Please see above
Are you able to login to server successfully?
I can in Excel in Live office but not in Word. As per the first message, I cannot see an option in Crystal to publish a crystal report. Do you know how I can do this? As I understand I need to publish it to the server and then Live Office will be able to see it.

Cross tab reporting in Crystal 8.5

Post Author: KPetrey
CA Forum: General
I am trying to create a cross tab report for some data that will have varying number of columns.I am running into a problem where some situations are producing 25 or more columns. This results in the crossing over to a second page.My end-users are going to dislike this very much. I am trying to duplicate a report they had with their previous software system and it did not cross pages. All data stayed on one page. My questions are as follows:Is there a way to make the cross tab wrap so that data does not cross to second page?Is there a different way to do what I need other than cross tab?What I am trying to do is list a column for each store that will show the qty of a product that is ordered for it....the number of stores will vary depending on my end-users setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Crosstab is designed to grow wide-wise if the number of columns increases. How can you avoid splitting pages if the number of columns will reach, for example, 50?
You should probably first make a decision, whether your report must be fixed-column or variable-column. If you stick to fix-column, you can design the report to accommodate theoretical maximum of columns, and imitate dynamic columns by using groups, formulas and hiding columns not in use at run time. Pain in the a** with 25+ columns but still doable. Drawback - if actual data will exceed the maximum number of columns, you are out of luck. Or you could stay with crosstab to keep support for variable number of columns, using small font and "Show Cell Margins" option to squeeze as many columns as is actually possible before falling over to the second page. I would prefer the latter if you ask me.

Sort in Cross-Tab report

I have a cross-tab report that lists dates as headers and employees as rows. The data at every cell shows the qty (it is like timesheet report). The totals are shown for every row and column. The report layout looks something like this:
----------- <date> <date> <date> .... <Total>
<name> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
<name> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
<name> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
<Total> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
The report definition looks like this (I numbered the columns to make it easier to write about them):
01: <?horizontal-break-table:1?>
02: <?for-each-group@column:EMPLOYEE_TIME;./TRANSACTION_DATE?><?sort:TRANSACTION_DATE;'ascending';data-type='date'?>
03: <?TRANSACTION_DATE?>
04: <?end for-each-group?>
05: <?for-each-group:EMPLOYEE_TIME;./EMPLOYEE_NAME?><?sort:EMPLOYEE_NAME?><?variable@incontext:G1;current-group()?>
06: <?EMPLOYEE_NAME?>
07: <?for-each-group@cell://EMPLOYEE_TIME;./TRANSACTION_DATE?>
08: <?sum ($G1[(./TRANSACTION_DATE=current()/TRANSACTION_DATE)]/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
09: <?end for-each-group?>
10: <?sum ($G1/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
11: <?end for-each-group?>
12: <?variable@incontext:T;.//EMPLOYEE_TIME?>
13: <?for-each-group@cell://EMPLOYEE_TIME;./TRANSACTION_DATE?>
14: <?sum (current-group()/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
15: <?end for-each-group?>
16: <?sum ($T/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
The XML data is not sorted in any way and the report sorts it by employee and date. As you see at the line 02 I applied the sort by the transaction date. The sort works as expected, however the actual QTY are not showing at correct cells. If I remove sort it works fine but the dates are in random order. I suspect it is because I sort transaction date at header level and the QTY is not aware about it. I tried to apply the sort at line 07 but it does not help.
Does anyone has any idea how to get this report to display data correctly?

How to add an image or static text in the header of EACH page of a cross-Tab report

Hi, I use Crustal 11.0.
I have a cross Tab. I display the items on the left column and the months horizontally, the items are grouped by category field. The values are the sum of quantities are displayed for each month. Like this:
                         Items         Jan       Feb       March .....................Total

The problem, I want to add a page header for each page of the report.
When Crystal reports first displays my cross-tab in the designer, CR displays the cross tab in the Report header section. I d like to add text or image for each page and not only at the begining of my Cross-Tab.
If I just add an image or text at the top of the report designer, which is my report header, I get the image or text only on the begining of the 1st page of my report but never in the other following pages.
If I try to work around the problem and move the cross Tab to a group section instead, and then put the Image in the group header, I get what I want, but the problem is that:
The columns header: Jan, February....December are displayed for each group of my report and not only in the beginning of the report. I get something like this:
                         Items         Jan       Feb       March .....................Total
Category 1

You see the months get duplicated. Any way, my real need is to add an image or text in the header of EACH page of a cross-Tab report.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Divya,
you could do for example in the wdDoInit() of the view
wdContext.currentContextElement().setPicture("picture.gif");
Now you assign this context variable to the Tab using the Tab_header's imageSource-Property. When you click on its value column, you see a button with three dots on it. If you click on this button, you will get all context nodes and attributes for this View. Usable variables are clearly marked, you now choose the one named Picture or what ever name you prefer to use. But it must correspond to the one set in the wdDoInit.
I think setting a picture (not necessarily for the tab-page) is done in one of the excellent tutorials. If you are a newcomer I strongly recommend doing some of the tutorials. I have learned tremendously from them.
Hope this helped

Dynamically color to each column in Cross-tab report

Hello All,
I am a newbie in Crystal report,from last few weeks, i am working on cross tab crystal report.i have a requirement to show color dynamically for each column.i am adding an attachment how i want it. i tried dynamic coloring using object field formula but it is showing red color to all data.i want red color data when in 2nd cross tab report data is beyond upper or lower limit in first cross tab table. it will be very helpful if somebody will give me any clue on this.... i read so many articles now it seem like impossible for me..:(
i am using visual studio 2010 and sap crystal report version 13.0.0.99 for visual studio 2010.

Hello Manish,
I have attached a sample report that does this. You will need to remove the .txt extension from the attached file to open it as an .rpt file.
Please right click on one of the value fields of the first cross tab in the report > Format Field > Common > Suppress if Duplicated conditional formula.
The nested formula is as follows;
numbervar array l;
numbervar array u;
numbervar x:=CurrentColumnIndex;
if GridRowColumnValue ('@limit') = 'lower limit' then
(redim preserve l[x];
l[x]:= tonumber(CurrentFieldValue))
else if GridRowColumnValue ('@limit') = 'upper limit' then
(redim preserve u[x];
u[x]:= tonumber(CurrentFieldValue));
false
So it assigns each lower and upper limit value for each client (in the sample it is country) to an array using the cross tabs column index to index the array and it ends in False as we don't actually want it to suppress if duplicated. This nested formula is just used to generate the arrays of upper and lower values.
In the second cross tab if you again right click on one of the value fields > Format Field > Font > Color you will see the following conditional formula;
numbervar array l;
numbervar array u;
numbervar x;
if not(tonumber(CurrentFieldValue) in l[CurrentColumnIndex] to u[CurrentColumnIndex]) then
crred
else
crblack
So this compaes the current field value to range generated by the 2 arrays and assigns a color based on whether or not it is in the range.

Graham

Discover group problem with cross tab report

Hi, I'm working on a cross tab report in discoverer 4i and I'm having a problem with two of the colums. I'm doing a count on one field but because they are called something different they are being shown as two seperate columns rather than 1.
I have one called 101 -AVG and another called 101-AVG. My condition pulls every result back that starts with 101 in the table. So because in the table the values are different it breaks the count into totals for 101 -AVG and 101-AVG.
Is there some way I can group these results together into one field?
thanks,
Ian

Drill down in cross tab report.

Is it possible to have drill down in a cross tab report. e.g. in first view the main groups are the rows and when clicked on the main group the same design but with sub groups as the rows get visible as a drill down.
If it is possible then which version of crystal report supports this and how can I achieve it.
I currently have crystal reports that comes with visual studio 2008.

thanks for the suggestion sjain ... but I've seen ppl here on the forums saying that it doesn't work in cross tab...So I'm not sure if that can be done but I'll try .

Cross-tab Report field representation

I need to display a field (Abandon Rate) in my cross-tab report - Abandon Rate is not a field in the database. The field is a result of a formula:
100*(AbnCalls/InCalls)
How do I go about doing this? I've tried to type the formula into the Display String but get an error "The Formula result must be a string".

The only way Display String will work here is if the two variables in your formula are Global variables. In that case, just add CStr to your formula to turn it into a string:
CStr(100*(AbnCalls/InCalls), "0.00")
If the two variables are from the database, create a formula field and use that in the cross tab.

Cross-tab report: need to SUM field and present as HH:MM:SS format

I am creating a cross-tab report and several of the selected data fields I need to summarize are time-based fields, which are stored as seconds in the database. When I create a standard report, the formula to convert the seconds to HH:MM:SS and SUM works just fine, but when I try to bring that formula field into the cross-tab report, it does a COUNT on it rather than a SUM.
How can I get it to SUM that data and present it in an HH:MM:SS format in the cross-tab report?
Here is the formula I'm using in the Standard Report to convert from seconds to HH:MM:SS and SUM the data.
totext(abs((Sum ({wagent.acwtime})) / 3600),"00") & ":" &
totext(abs(remainder((Sum ({wagent.acwtime})),3600) / 60),"00") & ":" &
totext(abs(remainder(remainder((Sum ({wagent.acwtime})),3600),60)),"00");

In the cross tab, do the sum on {wagent.acwtime}. In the cross tab on the page, right click on the field for the sum, select Format, press the X-2 next to Display String, and enter your three line formula, replacing {wagent.acwtime} with CurrentFieldValue.
HTH,
Carl

Visual studio cross tab report design problem

I have visual studio 2008 and its default crystal reports.
I have created a cross tab report that has a lot of columns and only 3 rows.
So the total number of pages that get printed are 34. (with 12 columns at the top of each page since the xtab is in report header).
My client wants me to utilize the space left at the bottom of the page by having 12 columns at the top and 12 columns at the bottom of the page.
I don't know how this can be achieved.
If the problem is not clear then let me know I'll try to explain more.
I am on a deadline here so please help me.

Hello,
I suggest you also search Forums, there are multiple posting on how to add multiple Xtabs.
This is a public area for all to use and not a case management system. If you are in a hurry I suggest you contact Support after purchasing a support incident and have a dedicated Engineer help you directly. You can get one from this link:

Crystal Reports 10 Cross Tab Report Issue

I created a Cross Tab Report with multiple rows of data. It has two columns to return data for Year 2008 and Year 2009. When reading the database the report does not return data for rows that have a result of 0 in both columns even though Suppress Empty Rows is NOT checked in the Cross Tab Expert Customize Style Tab. Any suggestions as to how to get all of the rows to display including those with results of 0?

I'm guessing that your issue is that "results of 0" is really a lack of data, not that something is there and is summing to zero.
In that case, you need to base your report on an SQL Command. Take the SQL that the report is currently using, and UNION it with another select statement that returns all of the rows that you are looking for with zero values; something like this:
UNION
select category, 0 as PY_Value, 0 as CY_Value
from categories
This will cause the data to be there, which will cause the rows to display on the cross tab.

Carl
