Field on report overlays field next to it

ISSUE: when running the report from within Business Objects, a field (that contains values longer than the displayed field on the report) continues to print out past the end-point of the field, causing it to overlay the field next to it. This ONLY HAPPENS from within Business Objects. The report works FINE when I run it from my desktop.
QUESTIONS:
1) What is causing this?
2) How do I fix it?
Thanks.
Dave

Try this
1. Open the report in in Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Designer.
2. Right-click the field then click Format Field.
3. Click the Command tab then select the Can grow check box.
4. In the Maximum number of lines text box, enter "1".
5. Save the report.

How to hide a report builder field if it is zero

I am using Coldfusion Report Builder. If the value of a feild is zero, how can I hide it or show a blank. Keep in mind this field is a DollarFormat() field.

When you click on the field in Report Builder, look near the bottom of the Properties window, in the "Print Control" section.
You will see an entry labelled "Print When Condition". Put an expression next to it that returns true or false.
For example, in your case, you would put something like the following:
MyField neq 0
Where "MyField" is the name of your field. This expression will only allow the field to be printed when its value is not zero.
Since you're targeting the value of the field you don't have to worry about the formatting that you used next to "Expression" in the "Data" section of the Properties window.

Chart report Condition fields and Data fields

Hi all,
i have tried chart report by adding two condion fields and one data field, the report is more meaning full in this scenario. the first condition field is taken as x-axis, the 2nd condition fields is taken as legend.
while adding more condition fields and data fields, i feel its not showing meaningfull data.
can anyone explain how the condition fields and data fileds are manipulated by crystal report.
i am using CR XI R2 Server.
Thanks
Padmanaban V

i am using Crystal Report XI R2 RAS Embedded in my server.
as we can add any number condition fields programatically using the method
ConditionField.Add(FieldObj), i would like to know how these fields are manipulated internally by the RAS server.
that means, what is the significance of condition fieldobject 1, condition fieldobject 2,condition fieldobject 3 etc...
if i add more than two condition fields , RAS Chart Report always returns 0 as legend value for all legends.
Thanks in advance

Padmanaban V

bill.when i give self join for history, it also add
other customer history .there is any possible way
that take customer id(report field) from report and
search it's records . plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzmay be you can use a child query and create a data link between
the original query and child query on customer id column.
I mean write a child query for searching records on customer id and then link
this customer id with your already existing query. I think this will solve your problem

Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer

I have connected TABULAR Model to Excel, and in the pivot the filter is on multiple dimensions. When doing the drillthrough action it gives error - Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer
Is there any workaround to this error? so that drillthrough can be done even with multiple selection.

Hi Vikas,
The reason behind the error message requires the knowledge on what happens at the backend. When you perform a drill-through action, a query is sent to Analysis Services. This query is expressed in a query language called Multi-Dimensional Expression (MDX).
Since the MDX language doesnot support drill-through command against a set (collection of tuples) an error is persisted.
For now, there is no workaround as it is a limitation of the underlying language that is generating the query.
When multiple items are selected you lose the ability to drill-down on individual metrics. To resolve you must either:
1. Select a single Item.
2. Select all items.
Hope this helps!

Crystal Reports XI - How to create a new field using a formula field

I'm quite new to CR, but have been learning quickly!
I would like to know how to automatically create a new record/field based on another field in that row...
I have a report showing the following data:
Run Code     Start KM    Stop KM    Status
H2                 100            150           Partial
H2                 150             155          Partial
H2                 155             160          Partial
S3                 120             150       Completed
The status is generated by comparing the 'Start KM' and 'Stop KM' against fields in another table called 'Start Odo' and 'Stop Odo'
In this example...
H2 has 'Start Odo' and 'Stop Odo' values of 90 to 160, therefore there is still 90-100 to check. The 'Start KM' and 'Stop KM' is equal to the 'start Odo' and 'stop Odo' for S3, therefore it shows completed.
My question is how do you create a formula field, which will add an entire row...displaying the values 90-100.
I've been trying to use a conditional check in the 'Start KM' column, that sees if status is equal to partial than if start km is greater than start odo (Which is the reference km) then display the value of start odo in the new row. I'm stuck at how to create a new row.
I want the final result to look like this...
Run Code     Start KM    Stop KM    Status
H2                  90              100         Partial
H2                 100             150          Partial
H2                 150             155          Partial
H2                 155             160          Partial
S3                 120             150       Completed
Any suggestions would be more than appreciated

Hi Adi
Looking at your examples it seems that you want to add a row to the existing recordset (rows fetched from the database).
If it is the case (even if based on a formula) then you can not do it within crystal. Crystal is designed to display data and ideally it should not generate the new data.
However, as per your requirement you can try to add this logic at database end. May be a command object within Crystal Reports can help you.
Let me know if you do not understand anything.

How to change crystal report data field at runtime ?

Hello everyone,
I have a Crystal Report file ,which i am using to generate report for my windows form project .
In that report i have a filed called as Quantity which data type is set as decimal, the requirement is like that the number of value those comes after decimal point that should be set according to the value which is given by the user at the run time .
For eg: If user gives 1 at the run time then the report Qty field value set one value after decimal point. Like 12.1
if user gives 2 then Qty field the value is 12.22 like tat but user can give from zero to any number.. and if it is zero it should not show decimal
Note: The main idea hear is how to change the filed in Crystal Report decimal point value by using code(or we say writing code we need to set manually as user input it will change)
Can any body help me how to solve this issue .
S.K Nayak

I think you could probably make the field you see a formula field and take a parameter as the number of decimal places.
totext converts a number to a string.
totext({decimalField}, 2)
That's 2 decimal places.
You could probably substitute a {parameter} for that 2.
If not then you could substitute an entire formula.
To explore formulas:
foreach (FormulaFieldDefinition f in rpt.DataDefinition.FormulaFields)
MessageBox.Show(f.Name);
// f.Text = your new formula
Where rpt is an instantiated report.
Or add another string field which you display in the column and do the calculation with the original decimal.
Hope that helps.

How to add new fields in report painter without library

hi,
first i copied the report 12KST1G in my Y12KST1G with form. In CJE2 when i Click this report then in the whatever fields coming in the characteristics we can put it in 'variables' tab and these will be the fields which is displayed on the selecton screen. So after doing the wbove changes in the exit , I am not able to get the fields in characteristics vale so that I can put it in variable. or do we have to do some chnages in the screen for this z report which is like std. one.
FYI..The display of the fields was done in z-report with library but this is like a report without library and we did some chnages in the exit.
Pls Suggest

Custom fields in Report painter in CCSS table

Hello Experts,
I am in a processes of developing a report painter with custom fields in the selection screen.
The custom fields are available in PRPS table.
With hard difficulties I brought the custom fields in selection screen of the report painter.
I have added the fields in the structure CI_CC1S
Everything is fine. But if I enter a value in the custom field, the report is not fetching any data.
These custom fields are related to the WBS element.
For example if the value of the CUSTOM field is 'AAA', then I want to retrieve ony the WBS element which has 'AAA'.
Somewhere I am missing a procedure.
Could anyone suggest how to achieve this.
Thanks !!!

Custom report #value.FIELD# issue

I've created a report using the custom report layout option. This type of report has field tags #column_name.LABEL# in the heading section and #value.FIELD# in the Body section.
The layout of my report requires that some of the values, #value.FIELD# , be in the heading HOWEVER when I place them there they are returned literally. Values are only substitued when I place them in the Body section.
AND
If I place #column_name.LABEL#'s in the BODY section they are repeated for every row returned. How can I get the #value.FIELD# to return values in the HEADER section?

Dear All,
I have checked that for the company code which has COPA value field as zero there is no settlement posted in c088.
For other company codes there are postings on date 30.11.2010 but for this company code there is no poating on date 31.12.2010.
When I am executing co88 in test run its says:
Invalid posting period (please check your entry)
Message no. CK122
Diagnosis
You are attempting to update in a period that is locked against posting. This error can occur when you attempt to post to a period that is in the past.
Procedure
You can allow posting to the prior period in Materials Management. Choose Logistics -> Materials management -> Material master -> Other -> Post to previous period and activate this function for your company code.
If the posting is to be neither in the current period nor in the previous period, then you cannot change any stock data (such as goods movements, purchasing postings, invoice entries, or settlement to materials) because stock data can only be updated in two periods. Possible entries:
the current period in the material master record
the previous period
the last period of the previous fiscal year
Please suggest on the reason ofl error in order settlement how can I rectify

HOW TO ASSIGN F4_VALUE_HELP FOR A REPORT OUTPUT FIELD???

I don't think that you are get the F4 functionality by pressing F4, but maybe if you use a hotspot you could achieve it. Check this sample. When you click on a company code in the list, it fires the F4 help defined by the program.

      land1 type t001-land1,
      end of it001.

YESSSSS!!!!!! THAT'S IT!!!! Split function is what I need. THANKS A MILLION!! I have used CR for years and never once had i any need for the split function. It's perfect! I am working with MS-SQL database in which reference table records when selected are use to annotate another table field's information, so if you select red and blue records from the color table, for example, on the customer table record for color_type field for instance it will populate that record with red,blue...I think that's so silly the way the vendor designed the front-end instead of creating a relational customer color table with the information...oh well...this is why crystal reports is a godsend for stuff like this. Thanks again for your assistance!
