Error in SQL Expression

Hello All,
I am having crystal reports XI and I am using OLE DB ADO connection for oracle driver to the DB.
I took a correct SQL expression from a previous report which is working fine and then paste it in a new created SQL Expression in the new report. The exact tables are there. But when clicking on the tick button to check of there are some errors, a message is shown that : ORA-00942 table or view does not exist.
Here is the SQl Expression:
(select MAX(intrates.RATE_DT)
FROM INTRATES,SECTYPE,DEALS,SECISSUE
WHERE sectype.thekey = "posnrpt"."SECTYPE"
AND SECISSUE.THEKEY = SECTYPE.SECISSUE_ID
AND LTRIM(RTRIM(UPPER(intrates.ISSUER_DETAIL_ID))) =LTRIM(RTRIM(UPPER('ID'||secissue.ISIN)))
AND INTRATES.RATE_DT <= "posnrpt"."POSN_DT"
I am wondering why it is working in a previous report which is created long time ago and now it is not working?
Is it from the driver or I have to do further modifications!!!
I am looking forward for your help.

Good question, Jason. The only officially supported use would be of the functions and operators explicitly listed within the editor. The SAP Note referenced in my presentation gives a little more information:
[1217871 - What is the intended use of 'SQL Expression' fields?|http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CBIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sdn.sap.com%2Firj%2Fscn%2Fgo%2Fportal%2Fprtroot%2Fdocs%2Foss_notes_boj%2Fsdn_oss_boj_erq%2Fsap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ%3D%3D)%2Fbc%2Fbsp%2Fspn%2Fscn_bosap%2Fnotes%257B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313337333833373331%257D.do&ei=FtWHTMrpCoTQ8wTutsHfDg&usg=AFQjCNFZG-Ta5JiZFAzXf2HC5GE7-QkJug]
I'm sure the reason the SELECT statements aren't officially supported is that they aren't written in Crystal syntax. What one is able to do with a SELECT statement depends on the database (Access, Oracle, MS SQL Server, etc..), type of database connection (Native, ODBC, etc..) the flavor of SQL being used, which is dependent on the previous two, etc.. Even the functions and operators available in the editor depend on the above conditions. What you see as available may not be what I see..
So, while SAP can support the feature as a whole, they can't necessarily provide syntax support, nor guarantee effectiveness. There's also very little documentation on them, as a result. A lot of what I've learned to do with SQL Expressions has been through trial and error.
Personally, I prefer to build reports against Views, if possible, and Commands or Stored Procedures, if necessary. SQL Expressions are great, though, in a pinch against existing reports with performance or design issues. In the case of the report above, I was able to dramatically increase performance and eliminate sub-reports in an existing report that was written by another individual. Without the SQL Expressions, I would have had to write even more complicated SQL and rebuild the report.
Since I can use them and I know how powerful they can be, I'll keep using them until I can't. At this point in time, they work with Crystal Reports 2008, which has a very low adoption rate, and I haven't heard of them being deprecated in Crystal Reports 2011, which I expect to be around for several years, so I'm not too concerned.

ORA-00936 error from SQL expression in SQL*Loader script

I am getting the above error on the following line in my SQL*Loader script:
DIA_CLM_RES_OID DECIMAL EXTERNAL
"SELECT N_ORG_ENTY_ID FROM TESTG4.ORG_ENTITY
WHERE N_USER_ID =
(SELECT UNIQUE WSR_NT_ID FROM CONV_CLM_RESOURCE
WHERE CLM_RES_OID = :DIA_CLM_RES_OID)",
What I am basically trying to do is a 2-table lookup of a value:
1. Find a row in table CONV_CLM_RESOURCE where the value in column CLM_RES_OID matches the value in the input file in field DIA_CLM_RES_OID.
2. Take the value of field WSR_NT_ID from that row and use it to find a row in table TESTG4.ORG_ENTITY.
3. Take the value of field WSR_NT_ID from that row and set it in the target table in field DIA_CLM_RES_OID.
In other words, I am essentially trying to translate the input value by using two other tables to lookup the value to translate to. However, no matter how I arrange it, I keep getting the "ORA-00936: missing expression" error on this statement.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong, or perhaps suggest a better way of accomplishing a two-table translation of a value?
Thanks!

Still not sure why this doesn't work, but I was able to create and use a function to do this instead, which is probably a better approach anyway.

Error in compiling SQL Expression

In the [Error in SQL Expression; thread, Kurt Reinhardt wrote "Please note, a SQL Expression can only return a single, distinct value per each record in the main recordset.", I tried this where my main Record Selection's SQL query is:
{GLF_LDG_ACC_TRANS.ldg_name} = {@&CH_LDG_GL_ACT_CURR} and
{GLF_LDG_ACC_TRANS.period} = {@&CH_PERIOD_GL_CURR} and
{GLF_LDG_ACC_TRANS.ACCNBRI} "99991103" and
{GLF_LDG_ACC_TRANS.DOC_REF1} "{%SundryCreditors}" and
{GLF_LDG_ACC_TRANS.DOC_TYPE} = "$APINVCE"
My SQL Expression %SundryCreditors is:
select doc_ref1
from glf_ldg_acc_trans
where ldg_name = 'APLED09'
and period = "GLF_LDG_ACC_TRANS"."PERIOD"
and doc_ref1 = "GLF_LDG_ACC_TRANS"."DOC_REF1"
and accnbri like 'SUNDRY%'
which essentially queries the same table as the main recordset using the same key fields, and returns one row only. However, when I click on the Check button in the Formula Workshop window, I get the error message "Error in compiling SQL Expression : Database Connection Error: '42000:MicrosoftODBC SQL Server DriverSQL ServerIncorrect syntax near the keyword 'select'. Database Vendor Code: 156 '".
Do you know what is my issue?

If you know what you're doing, you can add a full select statement into a SQL Expression... And Kurt is correct when he says that it may only return a single row of info. Don is also correct when he says that this not what SQL commands are designed for.
Here's what's happening...
When you link your tables in the Database Expert and drop fields onto the design surface (and optionally, add criteria to the Select Expert), CR builds out a SQL statement that can is to be sent out to the db server so that the data can be returned. You can view this SQL by going to Database > Show SQL Query...
When you add a SQL Expression, CR inserts it into the SQL Query as another data column. This is typically done to take advantage of functions that are available in the data base but not in CR.
A few crafty individuals, like Kurt, have figured out that you can in fact inset a full SELECT query into a SQL Expression and it will be inserted into the CR generated querie's SELECT list as a sub-query.
Bear in mind 2 things... #1) You have to be familiar with SQL syntax, namely you have to know the proper syntax for using sub-queries in a SELECT list in your data base. #2) CR doesn't officially support is behavior and they won't offer you any help if the current functionality is removed in later versions.

Trouble with SQL Expressions

Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble with this SQL expression that works in 8.5, and XI R2 runtime and designer, but I cannot edit the expression. As soon as I open the SQL Expression and click the X-2 check button, the error following
SQL Expression I'm trying to run:
(Select Distinct b1.CandEmploymentType
    from ceistaffing a1
    inner join ceisubmittal b1 on a1.submittalid = b1.ceisubmittalid
Where a1.Staffingchainid = CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID"
    and b1.createdate in (Select max(b2.createdate) from ceistaffing a2 inner join ceisubmittal b2 on a2.submittalid = b2.ceisubmittalid where a2.staffingchainid = a1.staffingchainid))
The Errror I Receive After Clicking the X-2 button:
Crystal Reports
Error in compiling SQL Expression :
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x
Source: SalesLogix OLE DB Provider
Description: The multi-part identifier "CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL.STAFFINGCHAINID" could not be bound.
Native Error: [Database Vendor Code: 181797304 ].
OK
This is the SQL statement passed to the database:
SELECT (Select Distinct b1.CandEmploymentType
from ceistaffing a1
inner join ceisubmittal b1 on a1.submittalid = b1.ceisubmittalid
Where a1.Staffingchainid = CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID"
and b1.createdate in (Select max(b2.createdate) from ceistaffing a2 inner join ceisubmittal b2 on a2.submittalid = b2.ceisubmittalid where a2.staffingchainid = a1.staffingchainid))
If I reverse the order of the where clause as follows, I do not get the error
(Select Distinct b1.CandEmploymentType
from ceistaffing a1
inner join ceisubmittal b1 on a1.submittalid = b1.ceisubmittalid
Where CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID" = a1.Staffingchainid
and b1.createdate in (Select max(b2.createdate) from ceistaffing a2 inner join ceisubmittal b2 on a2.submittalid = b2.ceisubmittalid where a2.staffingchainid = a1.staffingchainid))
This is the working SQL statement passed to the database.
SELECT (Select Distinct b1.CandEmploymentType
from ceistaffing a1
inner join ceisubmittal b1 on a1.submittalid = b1.ceisubmittalid
Where CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID" = a1.Staffingchainid
and b1.createdate in (Select max(b2.createdate) from ceistaffing a2 inner join ceisubmittal b2 on a2.submittalid = b2.ceisubmittalid where a2.staffingchainid = a1.staffingchainid))
FROM   "sysdba"."CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL" "CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL"
I figured I would just reverse the where clause statements, but then I came to this one that I couldn't get to work:
(Select case when tmp.restartcount = 0 then 'F' else 'T' end from
(Select Count(b.restart) as restartcount from ceistaffing a inner join ceihrprojectedactual b on a.staffingchainid = b.staffingchainid
where a.candcontactid = (Select distinct candcontactid from ceistaffing a2 where a2.staffingchainid = CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID")
and b.restart = 'T'
and a.createdate = (Select min(a1.createdate) from ceistaffing a1
               where a1.createdate > (Select max(a3.createdate)
                              from ceistaffing a3
                              where a3.staffingchainid = CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID")
               and a1.candcontactid = a.candcontactid)) as tmp )
I've burned an entire day trying to find some solution. Are there any patches out there that will fix this?
I'm running Crystal Report XI Release 2 SP2 - Version 11.5.8.826
Thank you, ...Rob

Okay, to simplify the illustration of the problem Iu2019m facing, Iu2019ve created a bare bones example as described below:
I've created a report that returns all contacts from our "CONTACT" table. On the report, I've created a SQL expression to return a count of all contacts with the similar last name, as shown below:
(Select count(a1.ContactID) from CONTACT a1 where a1.LASTNAME = "CONTACT"."LASTNAME")
When I try to save the SQL expression, I get this error:
Crystal Reports
Error in compiling SQL Expression :
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x
Source: SalesLogix OLE DB Provider
Description: The multi-part identifier "CONTACT.LASTNAME" could not be bound.
Native Error: [Database Vendor Code: 205193720 ].
OK
This SQL expression works fine in CRW 8.5, but no luck in XI R2 SP4 - As mentioned above in the thread, this seems to be an issue solely with how XI R2 is parsing the SQL Expression. If I remove the "A1" alias from my expression all is good, but that will not work for some of the more advanced SQL expressions I have that are using joins and sub queries.
What will it take to get this recognized as an issue worthy of a hot fix? I'm at a stand-still here, facing the unfortunate possibility of having to re-architect many of my reports. Please help.
Thank you, ...Rob

SQL Expressions in RAD -Getting error during runtime while generating rpt

Hi
We have just migrated from WSAD to RAD Version: 7.0.0.7.
The issue is: I am getting the error at the runtime when I am trying to use the SQL expression in my one of the report. The SQL Expression feature is not supported by this version of RAD. I checked the Help contents. It says
Field Objects: SQL expression fields
This report contains SQL Expression fields. These fields are not visible in this version of the Crystal Reports designer, but they will be evaluated by the system when the report is executed. New SQL Expression fields cannot be created by the designer. SQL Expression fields will remain in the .rpt file after saving and can be edited by other Crystal Reports designers
To me it seems you can use the 'SQL Expressions' in the report using some Crystal Reports designers and at the runtime it will be evaluated. So I edited my report with some Crystal Reports Designer and tested it on WSAD. It worked fine. Now since we have migrated to RAD, this is an issue since I am getting the following error:

Please let me know if somebody has faced the similar issue.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Error using presentation variable in SQL Expression

Hi all,
I'm receiving an error - '...Error getting drill information...' due to a presentation variable being used in a SQL Expression. It probably has something to do with a data type issue. I've narrowed the error to the use of the presentation variable.
I'm setting a presentation variable, pres_mth_nme_to, from a dashboard prompt. The prompt contains a month name.
I'm using the presentation variable as part of a SQL Expression in a filter. The gist of the SQL Expression is to use the
presentation variable in a CASE and set a value accordingly. For example:
Column: Month Sort Value
Operator: Between
Value: *10*
SQL Expression: *Case @{pres_mth_nme_to}{some default} WHEN 'NOV' THEN '10' WHEN 'DEC' THEN '11' WHEN 'JAN' THEN '12' WHEN 'FEB' THEN '13' WHEN...END*
The month name is character. If I were to hard code this, I don't recieve the error. For example:
CASE 'SEP' WHEN 'NOV' THEN '10' WHEN 'DEC' ...END
There something going on with the data type from the prompt and it being used in the comparison. If I use a CAST, the problem still exists.
CASE CAST(@{pres_mth_nme_to} as char(3)) WHEN 'NOV' THEN ... END
If I'm in Answers, the problem doesn't exist, I'm assuming because of the default values. If I'm on the dashboard, it does exist, I'm assuming because of recieving the prompt value.
I don't know what I'm missing. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

DJ,
if the formula presented by you is exactly true, i mean it was not fabricated to present as an example in the forum, you should include the presentation variable in single quotes.
i.e. your formula must look somthing like
Case '@{pres_mth_nme_to}{some default}' WHEN 'NOV' THEN '10' WHEN 'DEC' THEN '11' WHEN 'JAN' THEN '12' WHEN 'FEB' THEN '13' WHEN...END
let me know if it did solve the issue...

SQL Express 2008 R2 Error:15209 - An error occurred during encryption

I am trying to install SQL Server Express 2008 R2 but it keeps failing .
The computer is Windows 7 x64, all the latest service packs and updates installed.
The application is by Greatland, called Yearli (formerly called WinFiler).
Last year’s WinFiler, which was installed on this PC, used SQL 2008 Express (x86).
This year’s version is using R2 and attempted to install a new database.
I have since uninstalled last year’s database.
When I run the Yearli install, it first attempts to install SQL Express 2008 R2, but the install fails with this error at the end of ERRORLOG:
Error: 15209, Severity: 16, State: 1. "An error occurred during encryption."
I have been researching this for days. What I have done so far, based on MSKB and other user posts, is the following:
Changed the account for the SQL service from Local System to NETWORK SERVICE.
Add NETWORK SERVICE to the “Protect” folder with Full permission added.
Neither of these have worked. SQL appears to be installed, but the service will not start.
In the Windows System log I get this message:
The SQL Server (WFP_SS8E) service terminated with service-specific error The specified resource name cannot be found in the image file..
In the Windows Application log I get this message:
FileMgr::StartLogFiles: Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.) occurred while creating or opening file 'e:\sql10_main_t.obj.x86fre\sql\mkmastr\databases\objfre\i386\MSDBLog.ldf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error,
and retry the operation.
The App log error is interesting because there is no E: drive on the system.
SFC /Scannow came up clean.
I don’t have any other ideas, so if anyone else does, I’d appreciate it.

Hi dfosbenner,
According to your description, SQL Server fails to start and you get the error message (Operating system error 2……) in Windows Application log. To work around this issue, you might have to change the path of the files by running the following scripts from
the command prompt. The example is to put MSDB files in C drive, you can change the path of the files to other drives.
NET START MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS /f /T3608
SQLCMD -S .\SQLEXPRESS
ALTER DATABASE msdb MODIFY FILE ( NAME = MSDBData, FILENAME = 'C:\MSDBData.mdf');
ALTER DATABASE msdb MODIFY FILE ( NAME = MSDBLog, FILENAME = 'C:\MSDBLog.ldf');
go
exit;
NET STOP MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS
For more details, please review the following thread.

Error in filter with SQL Expression

HI Experts,
I have a sql query which works fine, but have to_date funtion() in the where clause as below :
and oe.ORDERED_DATE BETWEEN to_date('09-APR-2009 23:59:59','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
AND to_date('10-APR-2009 23:59:59','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
and (ol.ORDERED_ITEM LIKE 'abckdo%' OR ol.ORDERED_ITEM LIKE 'xysalnb%')
I am trying to create an OBIEE report with filter where the values of the filter are select as SQL Expression. and gave value to first variable as "to_date('09-APR-2009 23:59:59','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')" and the second variable as " to_date('10-APR-2009 23:59:59','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')"
But the report is giving me an error. If I remove the date condition, then the report works fine. Can anyone give some inputs in resolving the problem. The mentioning of the HH24:MI:SS is very import to get the right resultset.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi SVR,
I've had similar difficulties in the past with OBIEE and using the TO_DATE in the logical SQL expressions. I'm not sure if OBIEE recognizes TO_DATE or if it only recognizes TO_DATE is certain situations.
However, I believe OBIEE recognizes the CAST( AS DATE) in all situations. Here's what I would recommend doing.
1) Go into the connection pool associated with the report your creating and click on the second tab, "Connection Scripts"
2) In the "Execute on Connect" area, click the "New" button and paste the following code: alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT='DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS' ** this step changes the default DD-MON-YYYY format of Oracle, to the format you will be giving the data in.
3) Save the RPD and bounce the services if you made this change off-line.
4) Instead of using TO_DATE() on your formulas, use CAST('09-APR-2009 23:59:59' AS DATE). Since we changed the default DATE mask to be the format that you're passing in, you should no longer see any issues.
Hope that helps!

Error using Filter with SQL Expression

Hey all -
New to Oracle BI, and getting a problem with Filters that use SQL Expressions.
The column I'm filtering on is a 4 digit year, expressed as a VARCHAR2(4 byte) in the physical database. My SQL Expression in the filter is:
Column: CAL YEAR 4 DIGIT
Operator: Is equal to/in
SQL Expression: TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -24), 'YYYY'))
when I click on the "Results" Tab I get the following error message:
Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <(>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
I've isolated the issue to the expression above. If I put in a literal value and supply a four digit year like below it works:
Column: CAL YEAR 4 DIGIT
Operator: Is equal to/in
SQL Expression: *2008*
Any ideas on what's causing my problem?
Thanks!
Mac

SQL View does not display unless data is returned by the query. Is that normal?
Also, none of these options shows the literal result of the expression we built, i.e.:
expression: CAST(YEAR(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -24, CURRENT_DATE)) as CHAR)
result: *2008*
Having the ability to test expressions and see their results would be very helpful in debugging. If anyone knows how to do that please share!
Thanks!
MacOk, Probably shoud have figured this out before, but in response to my own question, the way to view the result of an expression is to add the expression as a column and include it in the Table Presentation.

SQL Expression in Filter conditon Error in OBIEE 10g

Hi
I am getting an error while giving the sql in the sql expression in filter conditon.
The sql expression I am giving is:SELECT MAX("Task Runs"."Start Time") saw_4 FROM "Analysis"'
Error:
Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

But when I individualy select start time column and check max of it the data comes fine, but if I am giving in sql expression it errors out.
Please suggest.

Hi Sini,
I have tried taking the second suggestion but I get no result for that
"Task Runs"."Start Time" -->Filter->Advanced button->Convert this in SQL->
WHERE "Task Runs"."Start Time" >= MAX("Task Runs"."Start Time" by "Task"."Task Name")
Here I did not understand the code Task Runs"."Start Time" by "Task"."Task Name". If possible elaborate.
And 1st suggestion the query formed just looks the query u suggested.
Unable to figure out what exactly is the problem.
Try something as in with 2 queries
http://www.cool-bi.com/Tweaks/JoinsinAnswers.php
or else
"Task Runs"."Start Time" -->Filter->Advanced button->Convert this in SQL->
WHERE "Task Runs"."Start Time" >= MAX("Task Runs"."Start Time" by "Task"."Task Name")
not sure how it works but this is other way of your sql in BI

Weird Pl/SQL Expression Default error

I have a date field on one page that has a pl/sql expression default of:
IF to_number(to_char(trunc(sysdate,'dd')) < 2 THEN
to_char(trunc(sysdate,'mm'),'MM/DD/YYYY')
ELSE
to_char(add_months(trunc(sysdate,'mm'),-1),'MM/DD/YYYY')
END IF;
This works perfectly.
However, on a different page, I have another date field with the same code for the default, and it is set to pl/sql expression, but when I run that page, I get the following error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 27: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "IF" when expecting one of the following: ( - + case mod new not null avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute forall merge time timestamp interval date pipe ERR-9132 Error in PLSQL expression for item default code, item=P79_BEGIN_DATE
I have deleted and recreated the field. Changed it to static text, run the page, changed it back to pl/sql expression... Still no luck..
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JohnA

Don't know if it is just a copy and paste error, but beside the closing bracket I am missing two semicolons in this code:

IF to_number(to_char(trunc(sysdate,'dd'))) < 2 THEN
to_char(trunc(sysdate,'mm'),'MM/DD/YYYY'); <- one here
ELSE
to_char(add_months(trunc(sysdate,'mm'),-1),'MM/DD/YYYY'); <- one here
END IF;
Maybe this helps you out?

Syntax Error when using SQL Expression

Morning all,
When I try to type any SQL Expression within Crystal I am getting syntax errors, even when I type only SELECT {field name} FROM {table name}.
Here is the query I did which gave me the following error:
Query
SELECT order_progress . date_created
FROM order_progress
WHERE order_progress . order_no = order_header . order_no
AND order_progress . order_status =77
ORDER BY order_progress . date_created DESC
Error
Error in compiliing SQL Expression
Database connector Error: 'HY000[Informix] [Informix ODBC Driver]General Error. Syntax Error[Database Vendor Code-11060]'.
Now this means, 1: I am getting a connection error with my db, for no apperent reason. 2: my syntax is not approved?!
Can someone explain why is this happening and how to resolve this?
many thanks

Morning Kyle,
Thanks for the informative answer, I have found out the formula which counts number of days however, I am not sure what you meant by the following:
>
Kyle McAdam wrote:

Done this, it counts the working days as in weekdays and takes bank holidays out as well
here is the formula:
WhileReadingRecords;
//{order_progress.order_status}= 77;
//{order_header.order_status}>=77;
Local DateVar Start := {order_header.date_entered}; // Starting Date
Local DateVar End := {order_header.act_despatch}; // Ending Date
Local NumberVar Weeks;
Local NumberVar Days;
Local Numbervar Hol;
DateVar Array Holidays;
Weeks:= (Truncate (End - dayofWeek(End) + 1
- (Start - dayofWeek(Start) + 1)) /7 ) * 5;
Days := DayOfWeek(End) - DayOfWeek(Start) + 1 +
(if DayOfWeek(Start) = 1 then -1 else 0) +
(if DayOfWeek(End) = 7 then -1 else 0);
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 to Count (Holidays)
do (if DayOfWeek ( Holidays) in 2 to 6 and
Holidays in start to end then Hol:=Hol+1 );
Weeks + Days - Hol;
You will then have a formula field that is evaluated to 1, if the status is 77.
you mean second formula? How I used,
If Order_header.Order_Status=77 then
1
else
2;
however this doesn't seem to be working.
> Now, sum that formula in each group footer. Suppress the detail lines...
which formula to sum up?
> **Don't use a cross tab with this solution. For a cross tab, you would have to calculate the totals in a different manner.
so far I used Cross tab and it is showing the right days, however not showing the correct jobs per day.
You might be right there that it calculates the totals differently, additionally how am I suppose to get the right Percentage if using the Cross tab. The percentage should be, count of number of jobs % Total jobs.
hence:
{#NumofJobs} % {#Total_Jobs}
however, when I create this formula it does not let me add that into the cross tab.
I also need to put a subreport in my report, can I use Crosstab to contain a link to my subreport?
Many thanks

Crystal Report Windows Form Viewer - Error in compiling SQL Expression

I am using C# and the Crystal Reports API to render reports in a windows application. Recently we decided to start using SQL Expressions in our reports. The reports developers are able to use them in development, but as soon as we deploy the reports to production, we are seeing the following error.
Why does this work when developing forms but not when using the C# API?

Hi Adam
I pinged couple of people here, but so far have not got a reply. I'll update this post as soon as I get anything.

Errors when applying sql expression on filter, please help

Hello guys
I was trying to put a filter on the date column and filter between timestampadd(sql_tsi_day,-31,current_date) and current_date
I was successfully able to define both field on sql expression of the filter and I selected "is between"
However when I run reports it returns the following errors:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22024] A comparison is being carried out between non-compatible types. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "Year"."Transaction Date" saw_0 FROM tranSale_cube WHERE "Year"."Transaction Date" BETWEEN timestampadd(sql_tsi_day,-31,current_date) AND current_date ORDER BY saw_0
When I using the same timestamp expression on the column formula and run report without filters, the report will return the correct date however though
I am using essbase as the data source.
Please help
Thanks

Thanks
However, the error still exist the same.. This error code returns when I run report based on this one single column
when I put this date column with measures and other columns then run report, I get a different error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 42043] An external aggregate is found in an outer query block. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT Product."Brand Name" saw_0, "Up Level"."Trial - level 12" saw_1, "Year"."Transaction Year" saw_2, "Year"."Transactoin Month" saw_3, "Year"."Transaction Date" saw_4, tranSale.count_of_transactions saw_5, Avg(tranSale.count_of_transactions by "Up Level"."Trial - level 12", "Year"."Transactoin Month", Product."Brand Name") saw_6 FROM tranSale_cube WHERE ("Up Level"."Trial - level 12" IN ('0', 'Product Upsell')) AND ("Year"."Transactoin Month" >= '2009 Feb') AND ("Year"."Transaction Date" BETWEEN timestampadd(sql_tsi_day,-31,current_date) AND current_date) ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2, saw_3, saw_4
I believe it must be something with the essbase that is not serving OBIEE well. Because I tried the same filter on a different environment not having essbase, it return me the right results..
Could anyone help?
Thanks
