Format with Multiple columns

Hi Crystal gurus.
I'm having the report which consist of more that 500 rows , so therefore I decided to implement "Format with multiple rows" feature, which is available in Section Expert area. Everything is just fine, I'm getting multiple columns, but how to suppress the header which is not needed for the last page, because the records are only in the first column.
I can easily copy/paste the header as such, but I do not know how to suppress it. Tried to search here, but found nothing.
Many thanks in advance Mcmerphy

If it truely is the last page of the report, you could try a conditional suppression where pagenumber = totalpagecount. But this would always suppress the header selected for suppression, and if you should get another column on the last page, it will still suppress.

I am working a report that has had the details section format with multiple columns selected. I want to change the report and remove the check box, but it is grayed out. How can I get the report details section back to default without the detail size constraints?

Bearing in mind that I'm a relative newbie to the report writing/Crystal world...the only thing I can think of is that maybe the report was written using an older version of Crystal and this option wasn't available. Another possibility, if it's a sub-report, you might try making a copy of the sub-report saving it with the same name, deleting the old sub-report, replacing it with the copy you made. I know that has worked for me when I've had problems with the re-import when opening is greyed out.

Repeat "Detail a" section when using "Format with Multiple Columns" layout

I am using Crystal Reports for .NET (VS 2008) and I would like to get the "Detail a" section to repeat at top of a second column containing additional data in "Detail b" section. Please see below for example, specifically "Detail a (2)". Any tips or help much appreciated.
Detail a (1)_____Detail a (2)
Detail b (1-1)___Detail b (2-3)
Detail b (1-2)___Detail b (2-4)
--Detail b (1-3)___Detail a (3)
Detail a (2)______--Detail b (3-1)
--Detail b (2-1)
--Detail b (2-2)
Thx, Scott

the format with multiple columns i dont believe will show you the value 2x, but allows you to display the values across instead of down.
i think you may want to use a sub report

Label Column When Formatting With Mutliple Columns

When creating a report with multiple columns (setting the Format With Multiple Columns property in the Details section), is it possible to put a label column on the left side of the page, followed by multiple data columns? The idea would be something like this:
             8/1/08 8/2/08 8/3/08 8/4/08 8/5/08
             ====== ====== ====== ====== ======
Metric Label 1   C1D1   C2D1   C3D1   C4D1   C5D1
Metric Label 2   C1D2   C2D2   C3D2   C4D2   C5D2
Metric Label 3   C1D3   C2D3   C3D3   C4D3   C5D3
Metric Label 4   C1D4   C2D4   C3D4   C4D4   C5D4
Metric Label 5   C1D5   C2D5   C3D5   C4D5   C5D5
The date on top will be a group 1 header. The metric labels to the left will be detail rows.
Fuskie
Who is turning once again to the CR Gurus...

Hi Fuskie,
A quick suggestion will be to use a cross-tab instead of multiple columns to generate the desired output.
Another suggestion will be to use a subreport. The main report will be used to type the labels on the left side, and the subreport will be used to display the multiple columns information.
1. Create a report that will be used as a container for your multiple column report.
2. Add labels in the Report Footer of the report.
3. Insert your multiple columns report has a subreport in the Report Footer on the right of the labels
you created in the main report. On the main report
In the subreport, if you want to see the Group to appear as columns at the the top, you will have to include the group in the multiple-columns, and I will suggest to format the Group Footer with the option "Print at the Bottom of Page". This will ensure that your Group Header will always appear at the top like in a cross-tab, otherwise, it might display your data like:
             8/1/08 C2D3
             ===== C2D1
Metric Label 1   C1D1   C2D1
Metric Label 2   C1D2   C2D2
Metric Label 3   C1D3   C2D3
Metric Label 4   C1D4
                        8/2/08
                        ====
                        C2D1

Selectively Format Groups with Multiple Columns

I have a bit of an obscure task I've been trying to hammer out to no avail. I've searched quite a bit but can't seem to find anyone else who has attempted this. I have two group by statements, one is a category and the other is a rank. What I'm trying to do is organize the report so that there are category rows and below each category row is a set of columns for each rank with their associated values as such:
category1
rank1     rank2     rank3     rank4
value1   value1    value1   value1
value2   value2    value2   value2
category2
rank1     rank2     rank3
value1   value1    value1
value2   value2    value2
I've tried using details>Section Expert>>Layout>Format Groups with multiple column. Unfortunately, this applies to both groups putting the categories into columns instead of rows, making a mess. Does anyone know of a way to selectively put groups into columns and ensure alignment? In the above example the user would be able to compare rank values from multiple categories since they all line up. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
Have you tried using a crosstab? Give this a shot:
1) Group the report on Category
2) Create a new group header section. Group Header b
3) Place a crosstab in this section
4) The columns would be the Rank field, I'm not sure about what you would like to show in the rows
5) The summarized field would be the Value field ofcourse
Let me know how this goes.

Creating Select List with multiple columns

I want to create a select list with multiple columns. I followed the demo application model described in the by Denes Kubicek (Currently my reference for APEX !!)
The code is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getcrops(p_cropid IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
v_cropid VARCHAR2 (400);
v_fcode VARCHAR2 (400);
v_product VARCHAR2 (400);
v_var VARCHAR2 (400);
v_fname VARCHAR2 (400);
v_acres VARCHAR2 (400);
v_style_start VARCHAR2 (400);
v_style_end VARCHAR2 (400);
v_return VARCHAR2 (400);
BEGIN
FOR c IN (select "CROP"."CROPID" as "CROP ID",
     "CROP"."FIELDCODE" as "FIELD CODE",
     "CARROTPRODUCTLIST"."CARROTPRODUCTNAME" as "PRODUCT",
     "VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYNAME" as "VARIETY",
     "FIELD"."FIELDNAME" as "FIELD NAME",
     "CROP"."SIZEINACRES" as "ACRES"

where "CROP"."CARROTPRODUCTTYPE"="CARROTPRODUCTLIST"."CARROTPRODUCTID"
and     "CROP"."VARIETYID"="VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYLISTID"
and     "CROP"."FIELDID"="FIELD"."FIELDID")
LOOP
v_cropid := TO_CHAR (c.'CROP ID', 'FML999G999G999G999G990');

END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'FIELD CODE')
LOOP
v_fcode := v_fcode || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'PRODUCT')

END LOOP;
v_return := v_cropid || v_fcode || v_product || v_var || v_fname || v_acres;
END LOOP;
RETURN v_return;
END;
I created this anonymous Pl/SQL function at a application level ..Then I followed up to create a select list with a function inside. However I could not create select list with the command suggested in the demo which is
select getcrops(cropid) d, cropid r from crop;
APEX (2.1) returns a error message. What am I missing ? Should the function be called from somewhere else after creating a regular select list..? Where the functions (Pl/SQL) should be ideally stored for application level access..? and for across application level access ? How can I check the function works good. Help is appreciated.

Still really one column.
If they need to be independent then you've got to have three selection lists.

List with multiple column

hello all ,
how to create a list with multiple columns ? can anyone share some examples or code snippets

GROUP BY with multiple columns.

I have little query about GROUP BY clause.
Sometimes we will give multiple column names in GROUP BY .If it behaves in the same way as ORDER BY (multiple columns) i would love to have an example where I can use GROUP BY multiple columns. Anyways howsoever it behaves it will be really appreciated if anyone can explain a scenario where GROUP BY with multiple columns can be used.
I know about the usage of aggregate functions with GROUP BY but using only one column.
Thanks..!!!

Hi,
Group by is used for grouping of same records. check this bellow scenario
SELECT registrationid, dateofbirth, age FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22;
22     1/23/1975     54
22     5/18/2011     66

22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66SELECT registrationid, sum(age) FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22 GROUP BY registrationid;
22     384SELECT registrationid, dateofbirth, sum(age) FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22 GROUP BY registrationid, dateofbirth ;

Treeview with multiple columns

I googled alot about creating a treeview with multiple columns similar to a listview in details mode with the added benefit of nodes and roots. I got some answers but I was wondering if visual 2008 itself has such an option, and if not what is my best
choice?
Debra has a question

I just wanted to know if in the visual studio 2008 itself there is an option to have a multi column treeview or a listview with nodes...
Debra has a question
Hi Debra,
>> a multi column treeview
As far as I know, the standard Microsoft .NET TreeView does not support columns, and if you want a tree control that supports columns, you could turn to the link from Tony:
#TreeView with Columns
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/23746/TreeView-with-Columns
>>a listview with nodes
I made a research about “a listview with nodes” and found no results. I checked the ListView Class and did not find information about nodes.

Format on multiple columns issue ...

Post Author: needhelptoo
CA Forum: Formula
I'm having issues with the way the data is displaying.I am using the Format Multiple Columns.I have 3 across set.I have the Down and Across checked.My report with the 3 columns is a custom labels sheet.I need to have the down part always be 8 columns.i can't set that anywhere like the 3 columns across.as the sheet used to print the info are labels and perforated for each label (column)I have the following:1.
Group Header #1 on InvoiceNumber. This have my invoice header
information related to the customer of the invoice. Keep Together
selected.2. Group Header #2 on a formula {@sort}. This is suppressed and as a {@reset} formula in it.3. Details section has {@accum} and section suppressed. Keep Together selected.4. Group Footer #2 as the {@display} formula with Paragraph Formatting. Keep Together selected.5. Group Footer #1 on InvoiceNumber has add'l customer related info for the invoice.so 5 sections in my design view with 2 groups.It'll display the information in InvoiceNumber order in ascending order down first.But the last one on the 1st column is only part of the invoice info and the rest of it starts from the top of the 2nd column.and
then shifts all the columns according to that. Which of course then
does not print on the allotted space of the actual label. part of info
is on one and the rest on another.obviously this won't work. I think i tried everything I can think of and I'm not expert. Barely a novice at this.any help would be appreciated!

Conditional order by clause with multiple columns

I would like to know whether it is possible to include multiple columns in a conditional order by clause.
Ex: I have written the following PL / SQL :
CREATE PROCEDURE GetProducts
@OrderBy VARCHAR(50),
@Input2 VARCHAR(30)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT Id, ProductName, Description, Price, Quantity
FROM Products
WHERE ProductName LIKE @Input2
ORDER BY
CASE
WHEN @OrderBy = 'ProductNameAsc' THEN ProductName
END ASC,
CASE
WHEN @OrderBy = 'ProductNameDesc' THEN ProductName
END DESC
END
Now I want to include when the Orderby - "Productnameasc" then order by productname, price, stdate
else
orderby productname, crdate, category
Could this be done? I tried it, but couldn't get this to work.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Since matching ORDER BY columns have different data types (first column for CLERK is sal - number, first column for MANAGER deptno is number but first column for "else" is a string) we need to convert number to string but preserve number sort order. Since DEPTNO is NUMBER(2) we will use TO_CHAR with format 'S00'. Since SAL is NUMBER(7,2) we will use TO_CHAR with format model 'S00000D00'. For EMPNO we will use TO_CHAR with format model 'S0000'.
select deptno,
        empno,
        ename,
        job,
        sal
from emp
order by case job
             when 'CLERK' then to_char(sal,'S00000D00')
             when 'MANAGER' then to_char(deptno,'S00')
             else ename
           end,
           case job
             when 'CLERK' then to_char(deptno,'S00')
             else job
           end,
           case job
             when 'CLERK' then job
             when 'MANAGER' then to_char(empno,'S0000')

PIVOT with multiple columns to add and multiple levels of grouping

Hi friends,
I got a table with the columns in the form of:
CRITERIA_A,
CRITERIA_B,
CRITERIA_C,
AMOUNT_A,
AMOUNT_B,
AMOUNT_C,
AMOUNT_D
Any way to design a pivot to present the table reflecting:
Sums of Amount_A, Amount_B, Amount_C, Amount_D
For Rows reflecting grouping levels on:
Criteria_B, Criteria_C
and Columns breakup for:
Criteria_A?
An example like:
Criteria_A1
Criteria_A2
Criteria_A3
Criteria_A4
Row Labels
Sum of Amount_A
Sum of Amount_B
Sum of Amount_C
Sum of Amount_D
Sum of Amount_A
Sum of Amount_B
Sum of Amount_C
Sum of Amount_D
Sum of Amount_A
Sum of Amount_B
Sum of Amount_C
Sum of Amount_D
Sum of Amount_A

Sounds like this to me if in T-SQL query
(best guess based on what you posted)
SELECT
CRITERIA_B,
CRITERIA_C,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A1' THEN AMOUNT_A ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A1_AMOUNT_A,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A1' THEN AMOUNT_B ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A1_AMOUNT_B,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A1' THEN AMOUNT_C ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A1_AMOUNT_C,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A2' THEN AMOUNT_A ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A2_AMOUNT_A,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A2' THEN AMOUNT_B ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A2_AMOUNT_B,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A2' THEN AMOUNT_C ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A2_AMOUNT_C,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_AN' THEN AMOUNT_A ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_AN_AMOUNT_A,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_AN' THEN AMOUNT_B ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_AN_AMOUNT_B,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_AN' THEN AMOUNT_C ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_AN_AMOUNT_C,
FROM Table
GROUP BY CRITERIA_B,
CRITERIA_C
to make it dynamic see
http://beyondrelational.com/modules/2/blogs/70/posts/10791/dynamic-crosstab-with-multiple-pivot-columns.aspx
However it would be much easier to build this in SSRS reports using matrix if you can use it.
In that case just bring data as is
then add a matrix to report
Add column grouping on Criteria A and Row grouping on Criteria B and then Criteria C .
In data portion add three columns with expressions as
=SUM(Fields!Amount_A.Value)
=SUM(Fields!Amount_B.Value)
=SUM(Fields!Amount_C.Value)
then you will get exact format what you're asking for

Convert multiple rows to one row with multiple columns

Hi
i have a table Match_1 with 2 columns 'Source' and 'target'.One source can have multiple targets and that number could be anything
CREATE TABLE Match_1
Source CHAR(1),
Target CHAR(1)
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'B');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'C');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'D');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'E');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'X');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'Y');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'X');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'W');
COMMIT;
i need to get my output in the below format
Source     target 1     target 2     target 3     target 4          target n
A     B          C          D
V     X          Y          Z          W
Could you please provide me the required SQL.

-Learnsequel

What is your database version (4 digit) ? also my example won't be generate columns for your information:
it will produce a result like that :
select source, listagg(target,',') within group (order by target)
from match_1
group by source;
A     B,C,D,E
V     W,X,X,Yps: in previos post, I wrote "with" word wrong in sql.
