Extract Data in sub report to main report

Post Author: Karl1975
CA Forum: Formula
Hi I have written both a main and sub report in V10 that shows grouped data by Name with a total count on each Name:-
EG:-
Name                               Numbers
Tim Smith                         10
John Smith                        15
I need to extract the data from the sub report that matches each of the Name into the Main report. So I can calculate a ratio.
EG
Name                               Numbers              (Numbers from Sub Report)
Tim Smith                         10                       10
John Smith                        15                       12
Is this possible?
Many thanks.

you can use shared variables to pass the data from the sub to the main. in the knowledge base you can find instructions on creating these.
make sure you do not surpress the value in the sub or it wont pass through. place the variable in the main below the sub report.

Problem in Excel after extracting data from SAP Report

Hello,
I have a problem with Excel file after extracting it from one of the SAP report.
When my client extracted data from SAP in to excel he is coming across minus symbol on both sides of the number.
for ex: -447492177-
When i extracted same SAP report in to excel i didnt face any such problem.
Please share your inputs on what could be the problem.

1. Make sure your client and you are using the same version of Microsoft Excel
2. Let your client try to OPEN the exported xls file from a existed workbook instead of double-clicking the file directly.

Sub reports In Crystal reports XML as a data Source

Hi,
I am facing one problem related to Sub reports functionality in crystal reports as XML as a data Source. We are using CrystalReports XI for this.
I was generated PDF's using crystal reports from ruby on rails, by using the JAVA API to produce the PDF by taking the XML,XSD,and RPT files as parameters. I succeed in this case
and the way we are communicating with JAVA API using from my Ruby on Rails application by the following link.
http://rorataspire.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/how-to-integrate-crystal-reports-with-ruby-on-rails/
Right Now my problem is as follows.
The problem with the sub reports generation from crystal reports. We had one main report file(RPT), In that we are using the Sub reports,for that sub reports need to parse the XML's and XSD's dynamically based on the report encountered on the main(RPT)file,but to send more than one XSD's and XML's dynamically based on the sub report, to the JAVA API from Ruby on Rails application I am not succeeded. So as a result PDF with the Dynamic data for Sub reports is not fulfill.
Your help is appreciable, Thanks in advance.

Is this a coding question or a data source format question?

Use ODI to Extract Data from Hyperion Planning & Budgeting report to Excel

Hello
Can someone tell me please how to Extract Data from (Financial Reporting in) Hyperion Planning & Budgeting into Excel Using ODI?
Would the steps be the same as Creating an ODI Project and Interface: Exporting a Flat File to a Flat File? If not, why?
Best Regards.

Where do you think the financial reports get their data from? Financial Reports pull data from data sources such as Essbase, HFM.

Parameter in sub report

Hi,
How can I transfer data from sub-report to the main report with the parameter. For example, Total field in sub report should be transferred to Total1 in the main report
Thanks,
Olga

When sub-reports are exported or printed, then the complete report gets exported/printed instead of only the content of the sub-report.

I have got several (6-7) subreports in the m ain report. Several times client is interested in printing/exporting data of sub-report only for which when they try to export/print sub-report, entire report is getting export and print.
We have upgraded application from crystal 8.5 to crystal 2013 RAS API now. Earlier with crystal 8.5, client was able to export/print only sub-report.
It will be great if somebody can share his/her expertise with us.

Hi,
As per my knowledge, currently there are no APIs available to export only subreport.
See the RAS SDK dev guide and API Reference.

How to activate a different sub-report for each row in the data set as main report page breaks on each row of data in the main dataset

I am going to try asking this same question a different way as I have yet to find a working solution to my problem. I have a main report and then 8 sub reports. My main report has one data set and returns one row of data per account number. One
of the fields in the main data set is called AccountProf. My main report displays one page per Account number and then calls a different sub report based on that account's AccountProf value. The sub reports take in the account number as a parameter
and get multiple rows of data to display that accounts usage formatted differntly for each AccountProf (hence the 8 different sub report.
So far I can figure out how to do everything but setting the visibility property of each sub-reports when I have multiple accounts. If I use the following expression for the visibility property on each sub report, it makes all the applicable sub report
for all the accounts requested visible at once:
=IIF(Fields!AccountProf.Value= "USE_PLUS_DMD",False,True)
*The value in bold USE_PLUS_DMD is different for each sub report.
Here is a look at what the main report look like:
Here is the main reports data set:

Hi JasonDWilson77,
According to your description, there is a main report and 8 sub reports in the report, you want to set visibility of sub reports, if no value is passed to the parameter of sub report, the sub report will not be displayed. If that is the case, please refer
to the following steps:
1. Create a new parameter named NewAccountNumber, set its data type the same as @AccountNumber, select Allow multiple values, set Visibility to be hidden, then set all available values to default values.
2. Right-click the first sub report and open Subreport Properties dialog box, click Parameters in left pane, set name to AccountNumber, then click (fx) button, type the expression like below:
=Parameters! NewAccountNumber(0)
3. Click Visibility in left pane, select Show or hide based on an expression, then click (fx) button and type the expression like below:
=IIF(InStr(Join(Parameters! AccountNumber.Value), Parameters!NewAccountNumber.Value(0))>0 , false,true)
4. Modify parameter of other sub reports like step2.
5. Set visibility of other sub reports like step3.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Concatenate data in a Sub-report then copy in the Main report

Hello,
I'm using Crystal Report XI R2, I succeed to retrieve data as decribe in SAP Note 1212454 - How to Share Subreport Data with the Main Report
But when I hide section A, my values in section B are empty
So my answer is, how to retrieve dataset from the subreport group Footer Group concatenated and show it as a Header group data in the Main Report

I'm currently trying was is explained in:
1218324 - How to suppress a subreport but still evaluate and pass a shared variable
Symptom
In Crystal Reports (CR), subreports are frequently used to calculate and pass data to the main report. In many instances the business requirement is that the subreports not be visible to the end users. However, suppressing the subreport object or suppressing the section of the main report in which the subreport is located causes the shared variables to display incorrect data when passed to the main report.
How can you suppress a subreport but still pass a shared variable with the correct data?
Resolution
In Crystal Reports 9 and later, you can suppress a subreport but still pass a shared variable with the correct data to the main report by following the steps below:
In the Subreport
1. Remove all conditional suppression formatting formulas.
2. Delete all drawing objects such as boxes, lines, etc.
3. Suppress all remaining subreport objects such as database fields, formulas, etc.
4. For all sections that contain no objects, select the 'Suppress' option in the Section Expert.
5. For all sections that contain suppressed objects, select the 'Suppress Blank Section' option in the Section Expert.
In the Main Report
1. Select the 'Suppress Blank Subreport' option in the subreport Format Editor.
2. Remove all borders from the subreport object in the subreport 'Format Editor'.
3. Select the 'Suppress Blank Section' option in the 'Section Expert' for the section containing the subreport.
Background Information
When working with subreports, the 'Suppress Blank Section' option forces CR to evaluate the subreport contained within the section to determine if the final subreport output is blank. The 'Suppress' option allows CR to bypass the subreport completely, because the section is suppressed. By forcing Crystal Reports to evaluate the suppressed shared variable formulas in the subreport, the data can be correctly passed from the subreport to the main report even though the subreport is not visible to the end user.

How to pass the value from Sub report to main report

I have un report(mainreport) within a subreport(subreport).
With reporting services, how to pass the value from Sub report to main report?
thanks

Hi Alebet,
With reporting services to pass values from sub report in to main report is not supported directly.
But there are some workarounds through which you can get this .
There are two ways to get this.
1- Put your sub report query into some table. i mean to say through the subreport query get some temporary table.
2- Using this temporary tables data write some Scala function in the data base.
3- Now in your main report query return this scala function as a column.
4- Extract the column value where ever you want in your main report which is getting calculated from the subreport query. so you will be getting the values returned from the subreport in the main report.
This will definitely work fine as i have done some report in this way.
Another way of doing is that
1- prepare another data set with the same query as in sub report in the data tab.
2- then refer this 2nd dataset in your main report .
But better way will be the top one.
Anyway please let me know if you get the solution.
Thanks
Mahasweta

Using crystal report to extract data from Audit Log

I have a customised form which contains main fields (i.e 20 fields) and when a field is changed, it's being recorded in the audit log.
Would it be possible to use Crystal Report to extract data from the Audit Log? Ideally, i would like the report to show me all the latest field values in a spreadsheet type format (i.e. one field per column)
Has anyone try this and if so, what is involved?

An element with both text & a sub-element is a mixed-content element.
For example ElementA is a mixed content element.
<ElementA>
Text
<ElementB></ElementB>
</ElementA>
Extract just the Text from ElementA.
<xsl:template match="ElementA">
<xsl:apply-templates select="text()" />
</xsl:template>

Page break not applying when using sub report inside main report

I have a main report inside which there is subreport (using SQL Server 2012). I placed some page breaks inside subreport but they were not working. I read on technet forums that this is a a known issue with SSRS.
One solution I found is to put a table inside main report, then in first row add a rectangle and set its property "Add a page break after" and then add subreport after this rectangle in that table in main report. I did that and now in some cases
it does show sub report on a separate page but sometimes it shows subreport on same page.
Could it be because in some case sub report has no or less data (hence it cannot cover whole page) and in that case it will always show on one page? How can I show empty subreport on a separate page?

I fixed it by clicking both "Add a page break before" and "Add a page break after" in rectangle.

How can I have Main report with a sub-report with in a sub-report??

I have a main report that has about 5 subreports, almost like a dashboard. I need to make one of those subreports contain another subreport.
I don't have the option to add a sub-report with in my sub-report, so what I thought would work is remove my sub-report from my main report, then add my new sub-report, then add that report back to my main report.
Everytime I add the sub-report that has a sub-report to my main report I lose the second sub.
From what I've read on the internet is you can't have a sub-report contain another sub-report. What some say is you can hyperlink that second sub report.
When I setup my hyper link to open the second sub-report I'm prompted to re-enter my report parameters.
Can some help me link a sub-report to a sub-report or show me how to pass a date range parameter in my hyper link so the reports just opens up?
I'm using CR IX R2
Thanks

Nate,
You are dealing with a product limitation. Crystal cannot have nested subreports within a sub report.
You can generally use shared variables between sub reports to achieve your desired result

Sub report group tree in main report Using crystal report 12

Hi experts,
    I have a strange requirement like, same data needs to be grouped two different ways in a same report. Like
Store1:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
Store2:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
.....it goes like this
Department1(multiple stores)
      summary of sale on each item chart - store1
      summary of sale on each item chart - store2
     --........ it goes
Department2
      summary of sale on each item chart - store3
--........ it goes
   Its in single report, the first part is grouped only with store and in second part the store is under department. How to do this in same report?
    I achieved this by creating a sub report to display the first part of data and in the main report sup report data plus the second part of data will be displayed. And its working well but now the problem is the group tree, I'm not able to see the sub report group tree in the main report.
   How to get the sub report group tree in the main report, Or is there any other better way is there so i can get both the data as well the group tree. Please help me to solve this. CryCryCry
I'm using crystal report 2008(installed separately) with Visual Studio2008 (.Net3.5)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
    Yea both data source are same(Datasource is SQL Stored Procedure). I cant use like that, because my client needs the group tree also. In case if there is no group tree, we can create one more group and supress it conditionaly. But here the problem is there is no way to suppress any of the group item in group tree as we can do it in the detail section.
    So please me with some different ways and also , please clarrify the following doubts
1. Can we supress one or more items in the group tree.
2. Can we get the sub report group tree in main report(Everything is working when i used the sub reports except the group tree). So I'm trying for different ways to do, but none is helping me
Please help me

How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?

How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?Please eloberate with example if possible!Thanks... 

You can do a couple of things - one would be to pass the information using the data linking expert. Right click on the subreport, choose 'Change Subreport Links' and select the field(s) you are wanting to pass to the subreport. CRW will build parameters and a record selection formula for you in the subreport, and if that's what you want, then great. But you can also remove the selection formula from the subreport and work with the parameter fields in the subreport however you would like.Alternatively, you can look to passing Shared variables back and forth from the main and subreport. this link talks about the method to do this: http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/251
