Drill down of manual cross tab reports with Multi variable subreports

I tried to make a subreport by setting the hyperlink on the group sum of a manual crosstab (http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1219) by setting Hyperlink to another report object.
The documentation said I should copy and paste the name of the report object in the sub report over into the field in the primary report.  As I don' t really know what a report object is this failed.  Further I found some code in a sample report to deal with subreports that have multiple parameters.  The code was unbelievable; it couldn't be right.  So, how do I link my subreports to my reports by passing two parameters to the subreports that represent the row and column label of a given sum.
Further what are the fields in the hyperlink another report object from for:
Select from: //do they want a query here?
Report title: //The don't let you type in this
Object Name: //This seems elective
Data Context:// No clue on this either
Thanks for any help you can provide
p.s. This forum doesn't seem to use traditional bit code

Thanks for the reply.  I looked through those samples and other samples.  The two cross tab samples I could find were CtossTab and Inventory CrossTab.  Neither has a hyperlink to a sub report and I believe those were actual cross tabs, not manual crosstabs.  When I scoured the web for an answer, all I could find was what was linked.  This is going 20 pages deep on google.
Crystal crosstabs are 98% better than the excel power pivot or pivot table.  However, with Excel, you can drill down to the details automatically.  With crosstabs you can't.  I was hoping to replicate this by making each summary in the manual cross tab a hyperlink to a sub report that filters the details based on the row and column just as excel does.  There is no sample for this.
Oh yes, I'm using CR XI

  • 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 .

  • Totals in a cross tab report

    I'm working with Crystal Reports XI.  We have an existing report that was created using the Cross-tab report type.
    There are 3 summary fields in the report:
    - direct cost
    - indirect cost
    - Total ( direct cost + indirect cost)
    Everything worked fine until now because both the direct cost and the indirect cost were being rounded to 2 decimal places.  However, I have a new requirement to round the indirect cost total to a whole dollar ( no decimal places) before adding it to the direct cost total.  This creates a problem for the third summary field because I'm only able to do:
    - create a formula field of (direct cost + indirect cost rounded to a whole dollar)
    - use that amount in the summary field
    The problem is that then the indirect cost is being rounded for EACH record separately.  But what I need to to calculate the Total indirect cost first and only after I have that total rounded to a whole dollar, add it to the direct cost total.
    So basically, I would like for the third row to simply show the sum of the first row and the second row.
    I can't take the current total ( direct cost + indirect cost) and then round this total because the rounding for the total direct cost needs to be done in a different way than the rounding for the indirect cost total.
    Is that possible with the cross-tab report type?  Is it possible to have 2 running totals in a cross tab report and then have a custom field in the report that rounds each using the appropriate rounding algorithm and then adds the two up.
    thanks

    Thank you for your suggestions.  I kind of suspected that I wouldn't be able to use the current cross tab report to achieve this but since I've never worked with a cross tab report before I wanted to make sure this is the case before investing the time to do it some other way.
    I will try using the manual cross tab report as you suggested.
    Thanks again.

  • Cross Tab Report Summaries

    I have a cross tab report with a row for loan type and another row for Investor Name.  The columns are for loan disbursements by month.  The summaries are for the loan count for loan type, loan count as a % of loan type, sum of loan amount for loan type and sum of loan amount as a % of loan type.  The monthly numbers and % are correct, as well as the final column for the totals.
    The total number of loans and total sum of the loan amounts in the total row at the end of each loan type are also correct, but I want the % of loan count and % of loan amount in this row to be based on the total count of all loans on the report, not just the % of the loans in that particular loan type.
    Can someone tell me how to modify the % count summary and % sum summary just on the total row printing for the loan type?

    Hi Diann,
    Try to use the display string by right clicking on total field>format Field>Common tab-->Display string
    and write the formula like
    currentfieldvalue/count(field)

  • 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.

  • Drill down on cross tab report

    I would like to know whether it is possible to drill down through groups in a cross tab report.

    go to your online help in crystal reports and in the index section, look up "report part navigation".
    read through the sections on report parts and go through each section (using the right arrow at the bottom left of the help page) until you hit the section that is titled "context Report Part option scenarios".

  • Help with formatting for Cross Tab Report Crystal 2008

    This is probably a simple question.  I have a cross tab report that displays sales by month for a period of 6 months.  These sales columns are formatted to be numbers with no decimals.  In addition to these columns, I have inserted columns that display the percentage up/down in sales over the previous month.  If I try to format the percentage columns, it changes every column to then display "##,##.##%" when I need to keep the sales columns at "##,###" with no decimal or percentage sign.
    1.  Is there a way to change the formatting of some of the columns but not all in a cross tab report?
    2.  If not, can I add a function that would change these in the calculation formula of the calculated member? 
    I tried to add "%" but it wants it to return a number.
    Here is the current code:
    //The calculation formula is used in place of the summaries in Calculated Members.
    // This calculation formula must return a/an Number value.
    If GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex) = 0 then 0 else
    ((GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-1,CurrentSummaryIndex) -
    GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex)) /
    GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex)) * 100
    Any help is appreciated. 
    Thank you,
    Tobi

    Carl,
    Thank you for your help.  I did try your method but still couldn't get it to ignore the fact that it wanted a number.  I changed my approach a litte and managed to solve the problem.  Here is the method that I chose which managed to solve the problem.  If this is a poor way to solve it, please let me know as I am always open for new ways.
    Format Field > Number Tab > Customize > Currency  Symbol Tab
    Checked Enable Currency Symbol Fixed, changed  currency symbol to %.  This is the same thing that I did before which changes it for all columns. 
    Beside Enable Currency checkbox, I added this formula:
    // This conditional formatting formula must return one of the following Currency Symbol Constants:
    // crNoCurrencySymbol
    // crFixedCurrencySymbol
    // crFloatingCurrencySymbol
    If GridRowColumnValue("InvoiceLine.TxnDate") = Date(0,0,0) then
        crFixedCurrencySymbol  
    else
        crNoCurrencySymbol
    My added columns have a null date field so they take the currency format.  My other columns do not so they do not take the formatting.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • 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,

  • How to create cross tab reports using RAS SDK api with Crystal Reports XI

    Hi Everybody,
    Iam generating reports in a web-based application with Crystal Reports XI using Report Application Server(RAS) SDK API. The columns in my report exceed that of an A4 sized page. So, when I export that report to pdf, only those columns that fit to a page are showing up. To solve, this problem, I thought of using cross tab. But, I donot know how to generate cross tab report using RAS SDK API. I have tried to get some code from the internet. But, I did not find any java code for that.Can some one give me some sample code.It is very urgent.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The easiest way I use is to create the worksheet as regular table and then when i verify the data I get (non aggregate) I duplicate it as a cross tab.
    In the duplication wizard I just need to define the axis (using drag and drop).
    if you want to create a cross tab from the beginning you need to define that in the new workbook wizard (check the "cross tab" rather then "table"), chose your fields and define the place you want them.
    The data point (the center of the cross tab) is aggregated as to your machine definition and will happen automatically.
    for example: to find the amount of receipt by months:
    On the left put the "Buyer Name", on top put the "Months" and in the data point put the amount.
    What you'll get is something like:
    months: jan feb mar apr ......
    buyer_name
    jhon_smith 100 50 30 250 ......
    jhon_doe 80 45 90 453 ........
    and so on.....
