Exporting to Excel data only using sub reports in Crytal 9

Post Author: pmstar
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal 9 verision.
I have .rpt file that used 4 sub reports .In the main report I placed all the sub reports in the(detail section) row and using the data for some caluculation in the main report to generate report fields.I placed the main report fields in next row( in detail section).However when i export the report .Its generating 5 empty rows and 3 rows with 0. I have pretty much followed the solution from the article "c2017620" published in BO.
Since i used the sub reports only to get some value for main report calculations .Is there any workaround for the following issue
1.I do not want to print the subreport data when exported to excel data only.
2.how can i get rid of the blank rows
We have a lot of reports which has the same issue and we need to get the reports to work in Excel Data only .The reports works perfect when used in PDF format but its mandatory that we need to give the reports to the client using Data only.
If possible, when responding with your recommendations, please include detailed steps. It would be very helpful.Thanks in advance,
PM

Hi,
Of what i gather from ur scenario...this is what i did in one of my reports.
I had to use two subreports and they had to occupy one cell each, in line with other fields.
To obtain that,all the fields required in the subreport i put them into a text box.Therein restricting the fields to the txt box only...
Then import that sub-report as it is.
It worked for me....
try out...
All this only if've understood u right...

Cross Tab Grand Total Out Of Line When Exporting to Excel Data Only

Does anyone have a solution to this issue:
Setting up a cross tab report with a grand-total field at the end of it and exporting to Excel Data Only format, moves the grand total values one column to the right of where the should be.
eg:
Company    Month    Revenue    Total
Acme       200710   1000.00    1000.00
Indigo     200710   2000.00    2000.00
Total                          3000.00   3000.00
Thanx for any input - looks better in fixed font.
the 2nd 3000.00 appears to the right of the Total column and not under it

Column headings are mismatched when export to excel (Data Only)

Hi All,
We have an old Crystal Web Portal designed using CE10 in VS 2003.   The crystal viewer shipped with VS 2003 exports to excel (Data only) in correct order where all the columns headers are matched with the corresponding data.
We have re-written the entire new web portal in VS 2008 with using CE10 on windows 2003 server. Everything works we can view the report, page navigation, export to PDF, export to MS Excel 97-2000.   However when export to MS Excel 97-2000 (Data only) option, the column headings are mismatched with the corresponding data.   I don't understand what changed between VS 2003 Crystal Viewer and VS 2008 Crystal Viewer.   I think this has to be the crystal viewer problem because I'm exporting from the viewer tool bar.
Here is the API referencing in the code:
In Visual Studio I'm referencing all CE10 10.0.3300 version api's. Howerver since Crystal Viewer with VS 2008 is newer and has 10.5.3700 version I'm using CrystalDecision.Shared and CrystalDecision.Web are version 10.5.3700.   These seems to have no problem. The entire web portal works fine.
More about Web Portal:
-User is validated upon login with CE10
-use selects the report from the list
-Report ID is then passed to reportdocument
-reportdocument API loads the report and
-Viwer.reportsource= reportdocument.reportsource
We cannot update Crystal Enterprise 10 right now.   I'm in the middle of deploying new web portal with VS 2008.   I have to resolve the Export excel (Data only) option and have the column headers matched with the data in excel.   I have tried everthing.
Can some help here.
thanks

Hi,
The report saves the printer information and if it can connect to the exact same printer then the print options will get passed to the printer.
If the report is being sent to a different printer, Crystal doesn't know if this new printer will support the same settings, ie. duplex or color. In our case we were setting the report to print duplex printing and landscape. When our application went to print it actually crashed because some of the printers didn't support duplex.
What we did is disable the print button on the viewer and added the PrintDialog control to our form. Use the ReportDocument.PrintOptions method to set the properties for the PrintDialog control.
var printDialog1 = new PrintDialog();
printDialog1.UseEXDialog = true;
printDialog1.AllowSomePages = true;
if (myLink.Parent.SavedPrinterSettings != null)
     printDialog1.PrinterSettings = myLink.Parent.SavedPrinterSettings; //Use any saved printer settigns
     printDialog1.PrinterSettings.Copies = Convert.ToInt16(copies);
     dr = printDialog1.ShowDialog();
     if (dr == DialogResult.OK)
     myLink.Parent.SavedPrinterSettings = printDialog1.PrinterSettings;     //Save the latest printer settings
     nCopy = printDialog1.PrinterSettings.Copies;               //Get the number of Copies
     sPage = printDialog1.PrinterSettings.FromPage;               //Get the number of Start Page
     ePage = printDialog1.PrinterSettings.ToPage;                    //Get the number of End Page
     myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterName = printDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;     //Get the printer name
     myReport.PrintOptions.CustomPaperSource = printDialog1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource;
     if (printDialog1.PrinterSettings.Duplex == System.Drawing.Printing.Duplex.Vertical)
          myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex.Vertical;
     else if (printDialog1.PrinterSettings.Duplex == System.Drawing.Printing.Duplex.Horizontal)
          myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex.Horizontal;
     else if (printDialog1.PrinterSettings.Duplex == System.Drawing.Printing.Duplex.Simplex)
          myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex.Simplex;
Hope this helps,

Column Headers are Jumbled when exporting to 'Excel Data only'

Hi,
When I am exporting a report to 'Excel Data only' the column headers are jumbled in the output,where as the data field are exported in the same order as it is in the report .
They are being exported as
Header:F3   F2    F1
Detail   :F1   F2    F3
Instead of
Header:F1   F2    F3
Detail   :F1   F2    F3
Is there a way I can over come this issue.

Can you explain how exactly the report was designed? Is it happening for every report or only for this report?

Export to PDF, Excel, Excel (Data Only) formatting issues

Hi Community
I have a report that consists of 5 subreports. Out of the 5 subreports, 3 of them have a similar format whereas the other 2 are different.
Iu2019m currently facing an issue whereby the exports to excel works fine, but excel (data only) has some alignment issues(i.e. the data appears below the correct columns). However, when the report is tweaked to make export to excel (data only) appear correctly, the export to excel had its data shifted out of alignment. There is no impact to pdf exporting at the moment.
Are there any people who are facing similar issues? Is there any resolution or workaround? I appreciate any help. Thanks.
FYI, the version of crystal reports is Crystal reports is Crystal reports 2008 and we are using the crystal report viewer interface to export into excel and pdf formats. The excel version is 2007.
Regards

DW, i've also run into issues with multiple sub reports. I resolved it by putting each sub report into it's own section, and then suppressing the sub report (Note, if ur trying to export subreport data to excel, I don't think its going to work. You'd need to create shared variables and then bring those sub report shared variables into your main report).
Once you bring your shared variables into the main report, suppress your sub reports, and then export to excel, you're still left with a dataset that has missing rows. This is ok. You can solve it easily within the excel file itself by sorting the data on a unique ID like Account #. This removes the extra rows.
Not the most elegant solution, but it works.

Export Excel Data only causes blank line between 2 lines of records

Hi,
I wrote a complete winform application using CR2008.
For information :
C# Framework 3.5
Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1
CR2008 SP1
Application allow to preview report. In the preview window (CR activx) there is a "letter icon" to export report in several format.
-RPT
-PDF
-DOC
-XSL
-XSL Data only
When I export with "Excel Data only" format, I always have a blank line between 2 lines of records in Excel.
Is there a way to supress them from VS2008 ?
Thanks a lot for your reply,

Hello, Jonik;
Do you see the same blank lines when you export to Excel Data only in the Crystal Reports designer?

Missing report headers when exporting to XLS Data Only

Hello all,
I searched for this topic and was unable to find a similar one!
I have a report that's very long.. (Page Setup:User Defined)
When I export to Excel Data Only, with option of: Custom: Data is exported according to selected options, the output shows some headers only and skips many.
I tried going into Design view and putting grids around each feild so that they don't overlap.
How can I fix this issue?
Thanks,

Go to FILE->Export->Report Export Options then select Excel Data Only option from the Format drop down window then press ok.
Check page headers and footer check box and press ok.
This should set the options to export report header and footers.
Hope this helps!

Export report Excel-Data Only works not,'not enough memory for operation'

Hi all,
we are using in our Software CrystalReport Version 11 Service Pack 5. Crystal report is intergated for .NET. We can not uninstall CrystalReport Version 11 Service Pack 5 to install another Version or another Service Pack.
We are haveing problems to export report as Excel 97-2000 Data Only, "not enough memory for operation" message pop up after you try to export report as Excel data Only.
Export Report as PDF is working fine.
This problems are on Windows XP Sp3 and Vista. On Windows 7 we have no problem.
Please, can somebody help me solving this problem, or to finde a workaround for Windows XP. Memory from PC is not the problem.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Also, just as an FYI, see the blog [What are these 'support' forums good for anyhow?|/people/ludek.uher/blog/2011/04/07/what-are-these-support-forums-good-for-anyhow]
Without phone support, you are left to do most of the foot work your self. On the forums, we can provide suggestions and guidance, but that is about it.
Couple of things to note though. If you do create a phone case, one of the 1st things that you will be asked is to update your app to SP6 - unless you can prove the same issue exists with SP6 (see more bellow).
Something I would recommend you try is to take an XP box, install SP6 on it, then install your app on it. If this works, your options are highly limited. E.g.; SP6...
One other utility that may be worthwhile to use is [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx]. Run that on the XP box. In the logs, look for "Access Denied" error messages. Look for load or other issues with crxf_xls.dll, exportmodeller.dll and crtslv.dll.
From your responses I am still not sure if you actually did run Modules and compared the results. This is much, much easier to do than working with ProcMon and I'd start there. To summarize, my troubleshooting plan (irrespective of the limits imposed on you) would be:
1) Use Modules as this is the easiest thing you can do
2) Try this with SP6 - more work that (1) above, but at least you are on the latest. If this works, banging your head into an SP5 wall will do you no good (like I said, irrespective of what ever limits...)
3) Use ProcMon - not too difficult, but time consuming as you will be looking over 100s, possibly 1000s of lines and not being familiar with details of CR, this will take time.

Exporting Cross Tabs to Excel - Data Only

I have a report with three cross tabs embedded in three report footers (RFa, RFb, RFc). The third cross tab in RFc, is actually in a subreport. When I preview the report and then export to excel in Excel Data Only there is no problem. Howeever, when I export the report (with the same export settings as before) without previewing it first, it truncates the data found in the first and third crosstabs. Anybody have any ideas on what could be causing this? I have played with the settings in the export options and have gotten it to export the first and second crosstabs without previewing but the third crosstab is still a problem.
I thought that Crystal reports would export exactly what is in the report and I do not know why previewing should matter or not?
Thank you for your help!

Athalia,
I tried to recreate the issue using the Xtreme sample database with 3 crosstabs in RFa,b,c with hours of the day as columns. First crosstab has rows for Region, second uses City, and third uses Country.
All 3 are summarizing Customer Credit ID and the 3rd has the sum of Last Years Sales and count of Address1.
When I export this I get the correct result whether the report is previewed or not. I am using the exporting options, Maintain Relative Object position, Maintain Column Alignment, and Simplify Page Header
I would suggest;
a) Ensure that the 3 crosstabs are left aligned and that the column widths of all 3 are the same
b) If there are any other sections in the report that are visible try suppressing all but the 3 sections with the crosstabs in them, will it export now?
c) Try recreating the 3rd crosstab adding just 1 summarized field at a time until it fails and then any formatting that you had done until it fails to try and narrow down what is causing the truncation
d) Try creating a similar report using the Xtreme sample database to see if you can recreate the issue and if so then document the steps so that I can recreate it.

Cross Tab export : Excel Data Only - Row headings are *bottom* aligned?

Hi All,
Having a problem with Crystal 11 / BOXI.
I have a Cross Tab working fine that has four Row groupings (labels on the left).
In Preview mode, it looks as expected. Row #1 label appears on line 1. Row #1 label shows blank on line 2,3,4 etc until it is ready to change.
The organization of the Row group is further made clear by a nice box that spans multiple rows. The Row label appears at the TOP of this box as you might expect.
In Excel-Data Only format, there is a problem. (I saved, scheduled, and ran on BO XI Enterprise CMC console.) The Excel file shows the Row 1 labels without any box (that's OK as it is "data only") however the text is bottom aligned. So the first label does not appear until the final row of the grouping.
Same thing is happening with Row 2, 3 groupings, they are all bottom aligned.
It's confusing for the users who would expect the Row grouping labels to be all top-aligned.
I have searched the forums and support site and read all technotes. I also tried several things including:
Format Field for Row#1 Name, choosing Left/Right/Center horizontal alignment (where is the same for vertical??)
Within BO Enterprise, try combinations of options under Excel - Data Only : export formatting, maintain relative object position, maintain column alignment, use options saved with report, etc.
Any ideas? Is there a way to force a top-alignment programmatically, for Excel Data Only output?
Help appreciated !

I found the answer to this question with help from SAP Support.
In the Cross-Tab Expert, Customize Style tab, click "Column Totals on Top".
Then, the Excel Data Only report will show the row titles Top-aligned for the row group.

CSV output (export to excel) don't use right code table

CSV output (export to excel) don't use right code table. We use code table
8859-2 (reports and forms are OK). Why export to excel don't use this code table.
Thanks for answers

You could also take the example from my blob that Denes mentioned and instrument it to output in either CSV or HTML. This way, you could have a single procedure that worked for both formats.
All you would need to do is handle each field differently - pad a TD and /TD (with proper brackets, of course) if its HTML or just append a comma if it's CSV.
Thanks,
