Receiving an 'Error formatting cross-tab object' error when paging through preview

I have a report with two subreports in the group footer. One of the subreports contains a cross-tab report. When I preview the report as a whole, occasionally I get an error formatting cross-tab object and then no more pages of the report are displayed. If instead I choose to export the report to pdf, Crystal Reports crashes. Any ideas on what might be causing these problems?

Actually, you can search for them by entering the KBA number in the search box in the top right corner of this web page. KBA 1214209 comes up fine. KBA 1212875 does not, but it's not really applicable.
While we are at the search box, see if a search term like 'crystal cross tab' (or something like that) bring up other KBAs.

"Can Grow" property on Cross-Tab object can not be unlock

I am using Crystal Reports XI. My report uses a Cross-Tab object via SQL server. I am having problem making my data column (Field Row) to increase dynamically in height when my data size increases. Since the "Can Grow" property in the Format Editor is locked, it would not let me set the "Can Grow" to true to enable this function. How do I unlock the "Can Grow" function so I can set it to true?

The only other option I can think of would be to build a virtual cross tab, but in many cases, especially when the number of 'column' values is dynamic, this is not possible.

Is it possible to copy a Cross-Tab object and Formulars to a new report.

Afteroon all,
I have created a Balance Sheet report using quite a few formulars and items. They are listed in a cross-tab object. Everything is working fine except something has happened to the report at some stage and it is causing problems when I deploy my web app (the rpt file will not delete when I undeploy my web app, it gets locked, untill I shutdown tomcat)
So I want to try create a new rpt file and copy the cross-tab object and all its formulars across.
So is there a way to copy formulars from one report to another and also is it possible to copy a cross-tab object across.
Thanks
Darren
(PS Unless someone can tell me why my rpt file is being locked by tomcat)

I am running windows and the rpt file "locks" and I have just noticed the \WEB-INF\lib\derby.jar file also locks. I dont use the derby.jar file at all. (as far as I am aware - I got an oracle connection).
Maybe I am redeploying incorrectly or not clearing the report correctly.
What I do is, I copy the WAR file to the webapps folder, Tomcat unpacks the app and I can run my reports no problem, fresh data is displayed if different parameters are used. I then close my browser window and make changes to my report design. I delete the WAR file in the webapps folder and export my project to a war file again - to the webapps, Tomcat then tries to clear the old project folder so that it can deploy the new WAR. it clears out everything except the rpt file and the derby.jar files. And then of course cannot redeploy the WAR file. So I have to stop tomcat and delete the project myself and start Tomcat again.
Clearly this is not good as I dont want to have to stop and start my Tomcat server everytime I make changes.
So how should I correctly undeploy a current version of my webapp and then deploy the new changes. Or am I not doing something when I am finished viewing the report.
Sorry for going off Thread topic.
I have tried using copies of the report but the same still happens.
Thanks
Darren
Im busy reading the "CR not releasing the memory " thread, hopefully the answer is in there somewhere

Conditional Format in Cross-Tabs

Hello,
i have a problem with conditional formatting in cross-tabs(Word-Template-Builder)
My Cross-Tab looks like:
+++++++++++++++++++ColumnHeader1
+++++++++++++++++++ColumnHeader2
+++++++++++++++++++ColumnHeader3
RowHeader 1 | Row Header 2 | Data
First Problem: If "Row Header 2" has a certain value, the whole row should have a different background-color or borderthickness should be different
-i tryed it at "Row Header 2" with +<?if@row:...?><?attribute@incontext:background-color;'lightgrey'?><?end if?>+ but this will only effect the background-color of "RowHeader 1" and outside of the cross-tab. Formatting font-style works fine with this solution.
Second Problem: Similar to first problem. If "ColumnHeader3" has a certain value, the whole column should have a different background-color or borderthickness.
-i tryed it at "Column Header 3" with +<?if:...?><?attribute@block:background-color;'lightgray'?><?end if?>+ but this will only effect the background-color of "ColumnHeader 3".
In case i have to do the conditional formatting at cell ("Data"), how can i address the fields "columnHeader3"/"RowHeader 2" in the if-clause?
Thanking you in anticipation.

drop me mail to MY id in Profile Location, with template and xml.
i can help.

Top N sorting in a Cross Tab object

I am looking for information on how to sort a cross tab object using a Top N filter.

Hi Lee,
In the cross tab report, just insert a chart, with in the data tab when you insert the data base available values then you can observe on change of record values and summary field values.
In the record sort values we can give the sorting with the order level or Top N level.
Let me know if you have any queries.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Conditional Formating Issue - Cross Tab

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a cross tab with some conditional formating of background colour..
eg
i have a background formula of:
if {@concat} like "*1" then crGreen else
if {@concat} like "*2" then crYellow else
if {@concat} like "*3" then crRed
my cross tab looks like:
                         Subject
Name           {max of concat}
But when previewed its not displaying colours correctly eg:
                          Art        English       Maths
Joe Blogs           ??1           ??2           ??3
Art result should be highlighted GREEN
English result should be highlighted YELLOW
Maths result should be highlighted RED
Instead every subject result is GREEN? Has anyone seen this before? Have any ideas to resolve ?
Thanks Again,
Slash

ABSOLUTE GENIUS. Works like a charm!!
Many Thanks,

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.
Tobi

Conditional format in cross tab

Post Author: RobotSlave
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hello All
Crystal 2008 12.0.0.549
I have a crosstab report in that repeats in each GF1 that displays values for several variables over an eleven month span, for instance a shortened data set might look like this:
                       FEB     MAR      APR       MAY ....
Claims             1233     876         666         888 ....
sold                 987       987         7 7         8 888 ...
etc...
I want to display conditional formatting such that if a value in the claims row is over 800, make the font RED for that column only. When I use a conditional formatting formula in the format editor font dialog, it makes the whole row red, when the values clearly do not all meet the required "800". I have experimented with making certain my value is a number and not a string, and I'm stymied. Does anyone have any input?

use formula field. Write your condition in that formula field and in select the display string option of the column in the report.Make the display string output as the output of formula field.for eg. @formula -
Formula Field if e>800 then   conditionelse    condition; Number -
column in field. Display string option (at the bottom of the field format object --general tab) map the output of the formula field

Data Format in Cross Tab and Parameter window about numeric and date

Hello,
I got a problem to show Year 2008 as 2,008.00, it's rediculous...
My PC and Notebook both show "2008", but my three co-workers' PCs all show "2,008.00"
the group field is: CStr(Year({SJ_Inv;1.TaxDate}))+ ' Sales Analysis'
How to convert such a numeric into text without decimal? CStr looks not workable.
also,
the numeric var in parameter window, sometimes I don't want it to show up comma and decimal, how to format it?
And, the datetime var in parameter window from store procedure, can it be a "Date" without Time for user to entry only?
I will be very appreciate for your helping.
~Michelle

Hi, Raghavendra,
The reason to use stored procedure is to save server room -- limited data for output; this is why we declare variable in Store procedure, and got problem there -- datetime but not date.
On the other hand, if we declare variable in Crystal report, it's allowed date type, but how to defaut the Date-from as 1st day of current month, and Date-to as Today in Crystal Report parameter setup ?? And then how to pass the parameter to store procedure to limit the data output volume?
(I am also trying to get this done in Store procedure right now..)
The pros and cons exist in Store procedure and Crystal report, which is better is not definite!
Best regards,

I have a simple crosstab report column A + column B = column C (total). Rows 1 - 24 and a total
1 4276 5553 9829
2 4132 5383 9514

I would like the maximum value in each column to be highlighted in Yellow.....
thanks
I'm using CRXI Rel2

You can do that in single table itself , as one of our friend mentioned above, still you want to do it in multiple table.
You can change the line spacing from single line spacing between the table to exact and can give 1pt
try this. otherwise
send me your xml data and template to,

i will have glance at it,and see if i can help.

Cross tab formatting issue

Post Author: forumguy
CA Forum: General
Hi Guys,
I am using crystal 10. The cross tab is in the group.
It was giving me a blank page in the middle of the report. So, unchecked the "Keep together" in the section expert in the group. And the Blank page was gone. But now with "Keep together option" unchecked, it gives error " Error formatting the cross tab" after one particular page.
Is there any other way to remove that blank page ?
Appreciate ur comments.
Thanks

Create a manual crosstab report

Cross Tab Size and Formatting

Good Day To All,
I have 3 Cross tab that fit perfectly on one page, but when it was created the user used an incorrect field as its columns.
When I change the column field to the correct field the Cross-Tab increases in size shifting the last cross tab to another page.
How can I keep the original size. I've tried To lock position and size but that does not work. I also tried using format painter but that only works on fonts size. I am unable to re-size the cross tab in design mode. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
David

hi David,
unfortunately there are no properties in a cross-tab to keep it the same overall width if the number of column instances changes. the Size and Position dialogues for Width and Horizontal Position (X) also do not apply to cross-tabs.
the only thing that you can do is to decrease the width of the column cell and if the output no longer fits in the width of the cell then you'll also need to decrease the font size.
there is another workaround by limiting the number of records returned to a group. please see my blog post here in particular the section "Formatting a Cross-tab to Have N Rows & M Columns". this is not an easy task either as the data coming in must be a precise match for the number of rows X the number columns that are required. this is explained further in the blog.
