Filling cells of a cross tab with zero if null

Hi All,
I am using Deski 5.1.
We have a cross-tab, that show sales data like below for each week id and store.
Week_ID   Store1 Store 2 Store3
12             100                    150
13                          100       180
14              200      250       250
When there is no sales for a store in a week, the cross tab is showing a null in the cell. Can I show that as Zero using some formula?
Kindly help.
Warm Regards,
Chandran KCS.

Hi Chandran,
In a crosstab you can have cells that are not even null, but simply no data exists for that cell.
That combination of dimension objects is not in the database.
In this case you can use format cell to get a zero in these cells.
Right click the cell and from the Format Cell submenu, choose a number format,
then add a 0 (zero) under the heading undefined.
Now all empty cells will show as zero.
Good luck,
Marianne

Cross Tab with Calculated Member Fails in BO Enterprise

Hello,
I have a report (Crystal Reports 2008) that I created using a cross tab, with a calculated member field. This report runs fine on my desktop, but fails when published to Crystal Enterprise (Server 2008).
When scheduled, the instance history states Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error
When I remove the calculated member from the cross tab, it runs fine.
Has anyone come across this and if so, how did you resolve it? I believe this is a brand new feature in Crystal Reports 2008 - is it not supposed within Enterprise?
Thank you for your assistance.

Root Cause: I had built my report in Crystal Reports 2008 on the latest Service Pack/Fix Packs (which addressed the issue of calculated member). My Crystal Reports SERVER 2008 was on a lower version.
I opened a message with SAP support and they were unable to tell me how to apply service packs to my Server. They then pretty much abandoned my question, so below is what I came up with on my own to fix the issue.
There are no specific service packs/ hot fixes for Crystal Reports SERVER 2008, so I had to:
1) install Crystal Reports V0 on my CRS 2008 machine
2)Install all Service Pack/Fix Packs available for Crystal Reports 2008 (even SP1, even though all SAP documentation tells you not to do this, it is required before you can install SP2)
3) Reboot Server
If you do the same thing as me, just a warning that installing the Crystal Reports SPs will break InfoView/CMC until you apply them all and re-boot.

How to Get Text to Appear on in a Cell of a Cross-Tab

<p>Have you ever felt the pain of not having enough control over the content of the cells in the cross-tab? For instance, ever wanted to put text or even just round the numbers to the nearest thousands to save room? Did you know that the Display String formatting formula can help you accomplish this? </p><p>This sample will help you accomplish this</p>

sorry i got the answer.

Creating a header for rows/columns in cross-tab with syntax

Hi,
The issue is creating strings for rows or columns' headers. How can I create a formula field which contains more than one seperate string. Such as "aaa", "bbb" and "ccc" are headers and they should be in seperate columns. In short, they will behave like characteristics of one of my query's field but they are just headers of the columns.
..............aaa...bbb...ccc....
row1.......x.......x........x.....
row2.......y.......y........y.....
Also there is another issue about the formulation again. Is there any operator that does the same job as " \n" which is used in C languages to break the line?
before:
aaabbb
after:
aaa
bbb

Hi Carl;
Firstly, thanks for answering my question. To explain my problem there are two options ahead(for my first question); first one is writing down the actions step by step, the second one is posting an image file(jpeg etc) to visualize it. I think the first one will be enough. If not tell me
Step 1- Create a cross-tab and right click and select cross-tab expert.
Step 2- Click the button "New Formula" and write down any word(such as "Sales") between two -"- sign to make it string.Then save and close.
Step 3- Drag and drop the created formula to "columns" section and fill the other necessary sections with your database's(such as xtreme.mdb which is famous for crystal users) fields.Don't forget to add another column value to "columns" section, since our formula has no link to database.
Step 4- Then click OK to save the changes and lets preview the cross-tab.The result will have one top column and his child or children(that depends on your data). And this top column is behaving like a header not a field.
Now turn the second step but write down a formula for 2 columns or more.For exmple "Sales" and "Profit".So the result will have 2 top columns and their child/children.
My question is "what is the formula for 2 or more columns?"
Also I couldn't get the answer for my second question. What is the meaning of expressions "\c" and ChrW(13)?

Cross-tab with a lot of data causes fault in crpe32.dll when exporting to Excel

Hello. I believe I found a bug in the Service Pack 9. After upgrading my production to runtime 9, I found that cross-tab reports with large datasets crashed the website. Per the Windows Application Log, a fault happened in the crpe32.dll. So I uninstalled the runtimes for 9 and re-installed 8 and the reports worked again. My production uses the 64 bit runtimes.
I created a test site which includes a two datasets one large and one small with two reports, one cross-tab and another non-cross-tab. The site has four pages, one to open the cross-tab report using the large dataset, another with the same cross-tab report using the small dataset, another for the non-cross-tab report using the large dataset and the last with the non-cross-tab report using the small dataset. Only the cross-tab report using the large dataset causes the fault. I’ve attached the test site for you use as needed.

Hi Thomas,
What version of Visual Studio are you using?
What OS are you using?
What version of IIS?
I did a quick test using a simplied one liner WEB app and I see the same thing...
FYI, changes we've done is IIS recommends, actually it's a must, to load the report and viewer in the Page_Init section and not the Page_Load so you initialize all of the required dependencies, Page Load doesn't handle it properly...
I tried both, doesn't make any difference...
By the way your "large dataset" is not that big. I've seen people use a 10 meg xml files.
Try moving all of your code to the Page_Init section and test again to confirm...
I don't believe it has anything to do with the amount data directly, I believe it's the number of pages to render for a crosstab report.
I'll escalate this to DEV - ADAPT01726274
Set for SP 10 ( which means I set it to be fix in SP 10 but it does not mean it will be. All depends on DEV's work load )
Thanks
Don

Suppress Columns shift Cells Lefts in Cross Tabs

Hello All
I need some help getting a cross tab report to suppress data correctly.
I have the following reporting requirement
Based upon Fiscal Year Period Selection report should start from the input period back 24 months.
Example
For the following example I use selection criteria of FY 2008 and period 11
Report should look as follows
                                      2008
                                      11        10         9          8         7 ....
Account Receivable     100      200       300      4000   5000 ....
Where the starting column is the input period 11
The table structure is
Account Number, FY, Key Figure Period 1, Key Figure Period 2, Key Figure Period 3 .... Key Figure Period 12
Parameters
Fiscal Year
Period
Cross Tab Format is
                                 FY
Account Number      Key Figure Period 12, Key Figure Period 11, Key Figure Period 10, ... Key Figure Period 1
When conditionally suppressing the field I am using a suppression formual
Key Figure Period 12 = {?FY}="2009" and {?Period}<"12"
Key Figure Period 11 = {?FY}="2009" and {?Period}<"11"
Key Figure Period 10 = {?FY}="2009" and {?Period}<"10"
etc.
The problems is that when I suppress I just get a blank field
                                      2008
                                      12      11       10         9          8         7 ....
Account Receivable              100      200       300      4000   5000 ....
What I want is a complete suppression of the column and commence the report from Period 11 as follows.
                                      2008
                                      11       10         9          8         7 ....
Account Receivable      100      200       300      4000   5000 ....
Can anyone provide tips on how to achieve this?
Thanks
Phillip

Thanks for your help. Sorry for my wording causing confusion I am new at Crystal Reports. I think I may have caused some confusion for I am actually wanting to stop the summarized data from showing, and shifting the summarized data to the left based upon a selection criteria.
Some more details
The Cross Tab has a Column heading of Fiscal Year.
The summarized values report the contents of fileds GLTO_HSL12 etc and are shown horizontaly with the label showing.
I can suppress the summarized fields so that they wont show. What I am trying to do is get the summarized fields to move to the left if based upon a selection criteria the logic I am applying is as follows
If Fiscal Year is 2009 and period is 10 then show summarized data from field GLT0_HSL10 to GLT0_HSL1 with GLT0_HSL10 being the first summarized field reported.
Currently based upon the Fiscal Year is 2009 and period is 10 example I can only blank out the summarized data for GLT0_HSL12 GLT0_HSL11 the actual format of the cross tab remains static.
Cross Tab Layout
______________________________FY2009
Summarized Data Heading_______| Period 12_____| Period 11 _____| Period 10 | ....Period 1
Row 1_______________________| GLT0_HSL12__|GLT0_HSL11__|GLT0_HSL10__|...
using suprresion formula in summarized fields I can achieve the following
______________________________FY2009
Summarized Data Heading_______| Period 12_____| Period 11 _____| Period 10 | ....Period 1
Row 1_______________________| ____________|________________|GLT0_HSL10__|...
What I want though is
______________________________FY2009
Summarized Data Heading_______| Period 10_____ | Period 9
Row 1_______________________|GLT0_HSL10__|GLT0_HSL09__|...
I hope this explains my problem alittle better.

Convert cross tab with 2 summarized fields to a chart

Greetings,
I have a simple cross tab containing a date row and 2 summarized fields. It looks like this (see Figure 1)
When I convert (insert) my cross tab into a stacked bar chart, I only get one of the summarized fields to show up on the chart. It looks like this (Figure 2)
Is there a way for me convert this cross tab into a stacked chart so that both of my summary fields appear?
Many Thanks!

OK... Thank you.
I was using the cross tab in hopes of controlling graph labels for months (Customize Group Name field) . What I was doing was converting dates to month verbiage (Sep, Oct, Nov, etc) so that the month verbiage would appear on my graphs instead of the numbers while still maintaining proper calendar order . (thanks for showing me this technique by the way as it works great). Too bad it does not work when there is more than one summary field (thanks for explaining its limitations... I had not told you that I was adding a second summary field).
Given that I have 1 row ( Date_discharge) that I need to display as months (verbiage) in calendar order
and
Given that there are 2 summary fields: Vaccine Indicator (a sum) and Birth_date_Baby (a count) ...
(I am contrasting # of vaccine's given against total babies per month in a monthly stacked bar chart)
Is there a way to display 2 summary fields on a stacked bar graph grouped by month (where the month is listed in alpha format, (Sep, Oct, Nov, etc.) but still sorted by its calendar value? My initial attempts to do this in a graph (without a cross-tab) would display the month verbiage just fine, but it would order my months alphabetically.
Thanks again for your suggestions!

How to display a row in Cross Tab when the count summary is zero

My customer wants a row for all possible data, even when the count is zero. How can I get a row to display when there is no data? Using an example: Display status for incidents - possible five statuses, but selection only results in four statuses because no incident were cancelled. Customer wants all five statuses to display in cross tab with cancelled showing '0' (zero))
Open
WIP
Cancelled
Pending
Closed

This worked for the last guy who had a similar issue.
Take a look at what it's doing. You should be able to use the same principal to meet your needs...
I'm assuming that you'll only need to show 4 weeks at a time on your report.
The easiest way to do it is by creating 8 separate formula fields:
W1A
W1RT
W2A
W2RT
... and so on
I don't know how your data is coming across but the formula should go something loke this:
W1A... IF datepart(ww,currentdate) - datepart(ww,) =0 THEN
W1RT... IF datepart(ww,currentdate) - datepart(ww,) =0 THEN
W2A... IF datepart(ww,currentdate) - datepart(ww,) =1 THEN
W2RT... IF datepart(ww,currentdate) - datepart(ww,) =1 THEN
... and so on
If I got you weekly criteria wrong, sorry. It's just a best guess.
Anyway you should be able get the idea. It gives you the effect of a crosstab without the headaches of a crosstab.
Hope this works for you,
Jason

Changing cell height in a cross tab

Hi,
I want to reduce the height of rows in a cross tab. The help index says to click a cell within the cross tab to activate the sizing handles, and to then click and drag them to change the height. But the only size handles I see are the one for the data itself within the cell, and not the cell itself.
And if I right click on the cross tab, I get the Size & Position option, which seems like what I want. But when I change the height there, it saves my change, but the height of the cell doesn't change.
Ideas?

I have CRXI, you can try, crosstab expert, customize style, look for ShowCellMargins,
uncheck that box, now you may need to adjust things to add a little extra room.

Cross-tab cell padding: how to change

Post Author: EnRoute
CA Forum: General
I am trying to minimize the height of the cells of a cross-tab object. I can re-size the text, but that doesn't change the padding between the text and the cell border lines. There is more padding than I want. If I reduce the text height any more, the bottoms of the letters g, j, p, q, and y are truncated, even though there is a significant amount of whitespace below. Is there a way to change the amount of cell padding?

One way to do it in CR XI is to right click on the cross tab and then Cross Tab Expert and in the Customize Style tab, uncheck Show Cell Margins. That will eliminate the cell padding of white space.

Suppress values in Cross-Tab and Cross-Tab Chart if null

I am developing a cross-tab report that has no-values contributing to the summary in a number of cells. For instance, if I were to display the average value for the testing of particle-counts by the day of the month, and no testing was performed on a particular day, then I would hope that the cell would be blank and a plot of the cross-tab would just omit that data point. However, Crystal interprets this as a 0.00 instead of NULL, and the plot (incorrectly) includes the zero-datapoint.
I can suppress the datapoint in the cross-tab if it's zero, but that isn't correct either (as, sometimes, zero will be the correct answer). Even then, though, I cannot suppress the datapoint on the plot.
Anyone have experience with a workaround for this?
Thanks - Tim

BTW...I found that I can work-around the plotting issue if I convert the chart to a "Group" type (instead of cross-tab). It will then ignore the null-values. Still thinking about cross-tab displaying zero for a summary value when it is working with no data.
Suggestions?

2 Cross tab summaries divided by each other

I have a cross tab report that summarizes 2 fields, sum of amount paid and distinct count of customers. The rows of the cross tab are grouped by revenue category, the columns are grouped by month. Within each cell I would like to divide the total amount paid by the distinct count of customers. See the attached image, I would like the quotient of the top number divided by the bottom number displayed to be displayed in each cell of the cross tab.
Any help is greatly appreciated. FYI, I am fairly new with Crystal Reports so I apologize if this is not making sense or if I am not going about this the right way.
Thank you,
Matt

Hi Matt,
Here's what you need to do:
1) Right-click the second summary field in one of the cells (example would be number 166 for Row = 01) > Select Embedded Summary > Insert Embedded Summary
2) Next, right-click the 'Edit this formula' > Embedded Summary > Edit Calculation formula and use this code:
If GridValueAt(CurrentRowindex, CurrentColumnIndex, CurrentSummaryIndex-2) = 0 then 0 else
(GridValueAt(CurrentRowindex, CurrentColumnIndex, CurrentSummaryIndex-2) /
GridValueAt(CurrentRowindex, CurrentColumnIndex, CurrentSummaryIndex-1) )
