Excel export in crystal report

Post Author: aravinthkula
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
          I have a requirement to open a new window from one of the reportviewer report columns, I know we have to use Navigation->Hyperlink Action->Jump To Url->="BLOCKED SCRIPTvoid(window.open('http://samplewebsite.com', '_blank'));"
        And then I try to export to excel, From excel I am trying to open the link, I am getting the message "This location may be unsafe" or "hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer and data. To protect your computer, click only those hyperlinks from trusted sources."
       Is there another way to open a link in new window which is compatible from Reportviewer and from Excel as well.

Try adding c:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to your windows enviroment variable PATH then restart.

How to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports

Hello,
I am new in Crystal Reports and I wonder if it is possible to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports with post-processing that would be applied to the Excel exported file.
By example, is it possible to freeze the window panes, so rows and columns are frozen in place on the screen?
Is there any possibility to obtain the file exported to excel to work with.
Or maybe there is some ways to parametrize the Excel export from Crystal Reports?
Any suggestions are welcomed.

If you are using Crystal Reports 2008 you can use the Report Application SDK that is now available.
It has a object called PrintOutputController that has an export method that allows you to get access to the exported file before you send it to the user.
Check the Developer library and the samples for details.

Invalid export DLL or export format when export with Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
     We have an serious issue while exporting the crystal report into excel. We are able to export into all type in our development environment. But when we tried to export from our server all exports working except the excel. However when we restart the IIS the excel export also working for sometimes and again we are facing the same problem.
Development environment:
.Net 2008
Crystal report 2008
SQL Server 2008
+Server Environment:+
IIS7.0 in Classical mode
Crystal report 2008 runtime without any SP
    We chosen Classical mode to avoid the error 'an error occurred on the server. printing will be stopped' after a successful print. It is an known issue and I'm curious to know is there any fix available to resolve this issue. Because we prefer Integrated mode.
    Earlier we dont face the excel export problem and we encountered after the SP3 installation. So we uninstalled it from server and we just installed only the run-time. But still we are facing the same problem. we could not able to conclude the cause of this issue because classical mode may create this issue?
This is a very critical issue to us, so if anyone has the solution please help me.
Thanks

Hello,
Not clear, did you mean when you install SP 3 it worked?
Use Process Monitor or Fiddler to see what is failing. With out an error message or any other error from IIS logs or Event Viewer logs anything could be the cause.
Thank you

Can we create Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
We want to create a Crystal Report which will export the output as multiple Tab's ( we can use sub reports). Can we create a Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008 ( not Crystal reports Basic 2008). Please share any information/links on how to do that.
Also if it is not supported please let us know which version supports it.
Thanks,
Vasu

At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides that functionality. It allows you to burst a single report so that each Group at level 1 becomes a separate tab. You can control the tab names (and tab colors) via fields/formulas inside the report.
You can also automate the process of exporting to (and also replacing or appending to) specified tabs inside existing workbooks.

Exporting a crystal report as PDF and Attaching to an email via code - Filename Issuses?

Post Author: alynch
CA Forum: .NET
I need to export a crystal report as a pdf and send it out via email. I have created a subroutine that works but the attached filename come up as "untitled.txt" so the receiving machine believes it is a text file. If I rename it on the recipients machine to a ".pdf" I can open it with acrobat and it looks OK. Does anyone know how to rename the file as a pdf prior to sending it out?
Thank You.
al
I have included a copy of the subroutine:
Dim repdoc As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
Dim diskOpts As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions()
Dim ExpOpts As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions
Dim MailOpts As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.MicrosoftMailDestinationOptions()
repdoc = Me.CrystalReport11
repdoc.Load("C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\WindowsApplication3\WindowsApplication3\CrystalReport1.rpt")
ExpOpts = repdoc.ExportOptions
With ExpOpts
.ExportDestinationType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportDestinationType.MicrosoftMail
.ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
End With
With MailOpts
.MailMessage = "Message"
.MailToList = "enter email adress here"
.MailSubject = "Attached is a PDF file - .net Export test "
End With
ExpOpts.DestinationOptions = MailOpts
Try
repdoc.Export()
Catch err As Exception
MessageBox.Show(err.ToString())
End Try
End Sub

Export Arabic Crystal Report To PDF

Hi,
I am using JRC component to build crystal reports in English & Arabic. All works well except exporting Arabic crystal report to PDF?
Crystal File Format Schema: 12.0.0
I was reading another 3 years old thread and this was stated there:
"If you are using the Java Reporting Component, you will not be able to see Arabic characters in your PDF document because the JRC does not support font embedding, and only works with a specific character set when exporting to Adobe" Any from SAP can you please confirm that does this still hold true? And are there any chances or plan to add support in future?
Regards
SC

Please disregard that part of the previous message.
As mentioned earlier, it depends on which of our products you are using to export the report. If you are using the Java Reporting Component, you will not be able to see Arabic characters in your PDF document because the JRC does not support font embedding, and only works with a specific character set when exporting to Adobe.
If you are using the Crystal Reports designer or BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK to export the report, you will need to ensure you have the character set installed on the same machine; for BOE SDK it needs to be on the machine with all of the services.

Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports?

Hi Friends,
Can anyone send me a Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports? Pls help me. Thanks in Advance.
Vijay

It's also important to 'prep' the excel file prior to connecting to it.
Give the data tab a meaningful name
Make sure the column headers are unique and that every column has a header
Delete any blank tabs
If you have trouble with Excel changing the data type of a field (say, a social security number you want to be a string value rather than a number so you don't lose leading zero) an alternative would be to save the spreadsheet file as a CSV, create a schema.ini to specify the data types for each column (example below) and use the same steps to connect except instead of choosing Excel 8.0, scroll to the bottom and choose Text. You have to make sure the CSV file is in the same folder as the schema.ini file that defines the columns.
Schema.ini example:
200912PUSD.csv
ColNameHeader=True
Format=CSVDelimited
MaxScanRows=25
CharacterSet=OEM
Col1=SSN Char Width 9
Col2=LAST_NM Char Width 25
Col3=FIRST_NM Char Width 25
Col4=DOB Date
Col5=STDNT_ID Char Width 10
Col6=SORTKEY Char Width 10
Col7=SCHOOL_NM Char Width 30
Col8=OTHER_ID Integer
Col9=GRADE Char Width 2
The filename in the first line needs to have the [] brackets around it, but I couldn't get it to display in this forum correctly.

Can we import extact Excel file in Crystal report in BO

an we import extact Excel file in Crystal report in BO
if yeh
den HOW

Hi Amit,
There is no functionality to import the data from MS Excel to Crystal reports. However we can connect to the Excel sheet as a data source and create Crystal reports against Excel.
Some popular choices in the Create New Connection folder are described here:
Access/Excel (DAO)
This option lets you connect to a supported database type (Access, Excel, Lotus, and so on).
I hope this helps you.

Exporting 'drillable' Crystal Reports

I have produced some 'drillable' Crystal Reports that I can export as Crystal Reports.
We would like to distribute these reports to wide audience so I've looked at exporting these as PDF but when I do the report is no longer 'drillable', is there a way around this?
I believe that there is a free Crystal Reports viewer that we could distribute to those receivieng this report but is this the best option for handling this if we need to export and distribute this report as a Crystal Report?

You can use Crystal Reports Server - or Enterprise to distribute the reports but exporting to other formats does not mean that those applications automatically inherit Crystal functionality (drill-down for example).
As for 3rd party tools that would be up to you to research.

When Exporting a Crystal Report to Excel format all of the dates get changed when viewed on Mac version of Excel

We're using Crystal Reports 10 and when we export a report from the Crystal Viewer using either the MS Excel 97-2000 option or the MS Excel 97-2000 (Data Only) option, the date columns on the report appear as expected on a PC version of Excel, however, most of the users at our company use Macs so when they open the same report on the Mac version of Excel all of the dates show up as 2011 or 2012 dates eventhough they are suppose to be 2008 dates. We've tried to just open the report after the export process and then do a "Save As" but get the same result. The date columns all appear to be formatted as Date. The dates on the Crystal Viewer appear as expected when viewed on a Mac. The users are running Excel for Mac OS-X Service Release 1.0. Any idea why this may be happening and is there a solution to this problem? Thanks!

Hi,
To clarify, are you currently using the Mac version of Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 which you downloaded from here?: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/viewer/index.epx

Enable Excel 2007 format export on Crystal Reports Server 2008 - Sharepoint

I'm trying to use Sharepoint's excel services to post some charts from an exported Crystal report to sharepoint. However Crystal Reports Server 2008 only exports excel 97-2003 format. How can I update the Crystal Reports Server 2008 components to support Excel 2007 format. Has anyone done this before?
Thanks,
Dominic

Unfortunately what you are looking for is not possible (At least as far as I know). Crystal is limited to the formats that it already has - and it is not possible to add additional export formats.
Sorry

RCIRAS0546 Error - Unable to Export a Crystal Report from BOE XI (SP3) 3.1

Hello,
We have just upgraded to Crystal Reports 2008 (from Crystal Reports 10) and BOE XI 3.1 sp3 (from Crystal Enterprise 10). The reports created in CR 10 open and generate just fine from within CR 2008, and they are saved to BOE XI. When I view the CR from within BOE XI web gui, the report displays fine in Crystal Report format. When I attempt to export the report to .pdf, I get the error "Your request could not be completed because a failure occurred while the report was being processed. Please contact your system administrator. [RCIRAS0546]" I tried exporting the report to Word, Excel, RTF, and CSV and did not get any error. Adobe Reader IS loaded on the server (we are running direct on server right now to test before deploying over web).
This does not happen with all of our reports, and we can't figure out why it happens with some and not others. Another thread on the forum led me to believe it may have been due to subreports, but this is not the case as the reports that error sometimes have subreports, sometimes not. Some reports have formulas, some do not. I can't find the common design between them to cause this issue.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
(FYI - I've changed the default Input and Output directory of the servers from the default C drive to the D drive as it is larger. I simply overwrote the placeholder and ensured the folder path existed - which it does. Not sure if this applies. I also pointed the temp directory to the same D location)
