Formula assistance in crystal reports

Hello,
I have a report that has 2 groups, first is by category and second is by code and the report displays Quantity which is sum in group footer 1 and 2
I want to create a column ' %', how do I pull in the sum of quantity in group footer 1 in the formula to calculate % column?
Header 1
CODE
QUANTITY
GROUP 1 CATEGORY
GROUP 2 CODE
DETAILS SUPPRESSED
GROUP 2 FOOTER ( note any rows with quantity 0 are suppressed)
1111
6
(6/18)*100 = 33.33%
GROUP 2 FOOTER ( note any rows with quantity 0 are suppressed)
2222
3
16.66%
GROUP 2 FOOTER ( note any rows with quantity 0 are suppressed)
3333
1
5.55%
GROUP 2 FOOTER ( note any rows with quantity 0 are suppressed)
4444
8
44.44%
GROUP 1 FOOTER
18
Thanks

Try using a formula like this:
if Sum({quantity field}, {category group field}) > 0 then //prevent divide by 0 error
Sum({quantity field}, {code group field}) % Sum({quantity field}, {category group field})
else 0
Note that the "%" operator will automatically do the percent calculation for you.

Formula in the Crystal report 2008 R2

Hi Experts,
I want a formula in the Crystal report.
Scenario is that i want the sum of INV4.taxsum where INV4.Relatetype = 1 .(means, i want only sum of taxsum of lines having relatetype = 1 and not all ).
how to write the formula for crystal report filed ?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Dwarak

Hi Dwarak,
Go to the Field Explorer > Right-click Running Total Fields > New.
Choose INV4.taxsum as the field to summarize and in the Evaluate section, choose 'Formula' and click on the formula button beside it. Use this code:
INV4.Relatetype = 1
Drag and drop the Running Total field on the Footer section.
You can also do this using two formulas.
First formula goes on the Details section with this code:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar summ;
if INV4.Relatetype = 1 then
summ := summ + INV4.taxsum;
And another one to display with this code. This goes in the footer:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar summ;

Report Selection Formula Error with Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.5

Hello,
My name is Carlos, and I would like to report a defect found in the Crystal Reports 2008 SP 3 Fix Pack 3.5 Runtime that is affecting the majority of our reports. As well, I would like to ask if there is a simple workaround that does not involve updating hundreds of reports.
The issue is that the runtime engine incorrectly returns the report selection formula. I have included sample code showing what I mean.
To reproduce;
1. Create a simple report that has a date range filter like:
({Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE})
AND ({Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE})
2. Create a test app as follow that loads a report using the following code:
ReportDocument rpt = null;
try
rpt = new ReportDocument();
rpt.Load("TestReport.rpt");
this.txtMessage.Text = string.Format(
 "ReportSelectionFormula:{0}{1}",
 Environment.NewLine,
rpt.RecordSelectionFormula);
catch (Exception ex)
this.txtMessage.Text = ex.ToString();
3. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.5 Runtime [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006341772011E/cr2008fp35_redist.zip]..
4. Execute the app.
At this stage, the screen shows
ReportSelectionFormula:
( ( NOT {Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE} ) AND ( NOT {Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE} ) )
The expected value is:
ReportSelectionFormula:
( ( {Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE} ) AND ( {Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE} ) )
If we were to repeat the same test above but use the Crystal Reports 2003 SP3 runtime (i.e. no Fix Pack), which can be dowloaded from [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123592010E/cr2008sp3_redist.zip], we would get the correct report selection formula. A side-effect for this incorrect report selection formula is a runtime exception complaining about an errorkind and a boolean being expected.
Do you know if there is any workaround that I can apply in code, perhaps a different Fix Pack? Is there a Fix Pack expected to be released soon? It is not practical for us to update our reports and use a different style in the record selection formula because we have many such reports, and our customers probably have even more.
Thank you.
-Carlos.

Already a known issue, here's the [KB 1584095 - A boolean NOT is added at the beginning of a record selection formula when the report is loaded by the Crystal Reports .NET SDK |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533383334333033393335%7D.do]

How to set formula field in crystal report

Hello all,
I develope the code in C#.NET and use SAP B1 2004C. I have a problem with crystal report. I have in crystal report one unbound field. This field is string type. I need in my code change value of this field to another text ex. ("test").
I use this code:
FormulaFieldDefinitions crFormula;
            FormulaFieldDefinition crFormulafieldD1;
            crFormula = crReportDocument.DataDefinition.FormulaFields;
            //FormulaFieldDefinition test;
            //bool test = crFormula.IsReadOnly;
            string error = "";
            bool isCorrect = true;
            crFormulafieldD1 = crFormula[1];
            string ahoj = crFormulafieldD1.FormulaName;
            crFormulafieldD1.Text = " ""+OP.ToString()+"" ";
            isCorrect = crFormulafieldD1.Check(ref error);
            // Display the error message if the syntax is incorrect.
            //if (!isCorrect) MessageBox.Show(error);
The value of the field is set, but on the report isnt it. Why not. Can you help me. Send some sample.
Thanks

Hi
I've never tried to change a field of the report directly. Maybe it would solve the problem if you make a parameter field, which you can use in the formula.
You can set then the parameter field:               report.SetParameterValue("NameOfParam", valueOfParam);

Formula Issue in Crystal Reports 8.5

Hello, I am having an problem figuring out an issue I am having with a formula in Crystal Reports 8.5. What is happening is if there are 2 or more records on a specific table, the formula does some weird things. Basically what is happening, is the formula works, but if there are more then 1 record on the table, it double, or add numbers twice. Here is an example:1st record has two value, value 1A = 63.36, value 1B = 197.132nd record has one value, value 2A = 23.10So on the first pass, it takes 1A plus 1B plus 2B and sums them and loads that to a variable. Then because there is a second record, it takes the variable which now has a value of 284.19, adds the variable value back into itself for a total of 522.18 and then adds value 2A for a total of 545.78.
What I need it to do is only run through the formula once to get the value of...

Passing formula values to Crystal Reports from c#

in an old vb 6 application we used to be able to call a function called PESetFomula in the Crystal Reports viewer and pass it the name of the parameter and the value.
How do we do that now using Crystal Reports for VS 2013. I don't mean to set the criteria just to pass over parameters and values.
Bill

Hi Bill,
Moving the thread to Crystal reports for Visual Studio Space.
Using the .net SDK you could use the ReportDocument class to pass the parameter values to the report.
See the sample applications here:

Running Total Issue or Possibly Formula Issue in Crystal Reports 9

Post Author: Jeffs23
CA Forum: Formula
My issue involves two formula's - @TotalTime and @Converted Time and a Running Total (RTotal0).
@TotalTime{Data.ApptTime}/60@Converted Timenumbervar x := {#RTotal0};totext(truncate(x),0,"")" Hrs "totext(remainder(x,truncate(x))*60,0,"") + " Mins"Running Total (RTotal0)
Field to Summarize - @TotalTime
Type of Summary - sum
Under Evaluate Section:
"Use a Formula":
onfirstrecord or
{Data.ResourceStart} <> previous({Data.ResourceStart}) or
{Data.Resource} <> previous({Data.Resource})
) and
minimum({Data.ApptKind},{Data.ResourceStart}) = 1 AND
maximum({Data.Column},{Data.ResourceStart}) >= '1'
Reset on change of field {Data.Resource}
A little background:My report deals with a Doctors schedule. In the doctors schedule, a appointment is booked and is by default placed into Column 1. It always defaults to Column 1. If the provider elects to double book their time and schedule another patient at the exact same time, the second appointment hits column 2. It expands in essence. It is possible to have up to 4 appointments in one time slot. This is why we wait forever at the Doctors office - appointments get overbooked because patients cancel or no show frequently and the provider would rather have the patients wait then risk no appointment at all. My Client wants the "TOTAL TIME" a provider was "scheduled" to see patients, not the time they actually saw the patients. So if the Provider was scheduled to see patients from 8 am to noon and had patients doublebooked for every time slot, I only want to report the overall time he saw patients regardless of the doublebooking, triplebooking or quadruplebooking. So the total time for my example should be 4 hours not 8 hours. The good news is this is painfully close to being correct! What is currently happening, is if the schedule contains more than 1 facility the time calculates wrong. I think my issue may be in the running Total but not 100% sure. I need it to calculate time on each facility - {Data.Facility}.

Post Author: Jeffs23
CA Forum: Formula
I had some minor issues with my formulas and Running Total so I modified them alittle:
@TotalTime
If {Data.ApptTime} = 0 then 0else {Data.ApptTime}
@Converted Time
If {#RTotal0} = 0 then "--"else ToText(Truncate({#RTotal0}/60),0,"") + " Hour(s), " + ToText(Remainder({#RTotal0},60),0,"") + " Min(s)"
My running total stayed the same.......
Field to Summarize - @TotalTime Type of Summary - sum Under Evaluate Section: "Use a Formula":(onfirstrecord or{Data.ResourceStart} <> previous({Data.ResourceStart}) or{Data.Resource} <> previous({Data.Resource}) ) andminimum({Data.ApptKind},{Data.ResourceStart}) = 1 AND maximum({Data.Column},{Data.ResourceStart}) >= '1' Reset on change of field {Data.Resource}
Some fake sample data:
Resource = Francis, William MD
Facility 1: River Oaks Main Clinic
Facility 2: Western Medical Hospital
Date of Service = 10/25/2007
From 7:15 am to 11:45 am, Patients were treated at Facility 1: River Oaks Main Clinic *** (total time = 4 hours 30 min)
From 12:15 pm to 1:00 pm, Patients were treated at Facility 2: Western Medical Hospital *** (total time = 45 min)
From 1:00 pm to 3:15 pm, Patients were treated at Facility 1: River Oaks Main Clinic *** (total time = 2 Hours 15 min)
The report should tell me Total time at River Oaks Main Clinic = 6 Hours 45 min and 45 min for Western Medical Hospital. What it currently is doing, is reporting the 6 Hours 45 min on the River Oaks Main Clinic and 7 Hours 30 min on the Western Medical Hospital. The time for this facility should be 45 minutes, yet its taking the full provider time and throwing it into this second facility. I am assuming its because the Running total tells it "Reset on change of field {Data.Resource}". Somehow, I need it to evaluate on both the Resource and the Facility. Any suggestions?

SAP Crystal reports formula fields

hi,
how to use formula fields in crystal report.
thanks & regards,vinoth

Hi Vinoth,
That's a very vague question.
You can create formulae via the Field Explorer > Formula option.
After you save and close the formula editor, you need to drag and drop the formula on the report for it to execute.
If you need help with a formula, please post the requirement.

Need formula assistance

I need assistance converting a formula field from Crystal Reports to a logical column in Answers.
The current formula is:
(90 - (trunc(sysdate)- greatest(NVL(trunc(logondatetime),to_date('01/01/1980','mm/dd/yyyy')), trunc(createdate), trunc(modifydate))))
Thanks!

hi
use evaluate function for greatest and for difference use timestampdiff function
for greatest values.. use the following formula
evaluate('greatest(%1,%2,%3)', date1,date2,date3))
and if you want to calculate difference between dates (i.e. days), you can use.. timestampdiff(sql_tsi_day, date1, date2).
this is easy method... i hope

Print Crystal Report directly from C# without using Report Viewer

I need to print a crystal report directly to the printer without using ReportViewer in C#. I've a CrystalReport2(belowCode) which requires a query (Select * from JobHeader where JobNumber='J012345') to display all the data. I'm stuck with database connection
and putting all the data to DataAdapter in C# (Below Code). I also have 8 subreports in my CrystalReport2. Can somebody please give me hand on this? I'm struggling with it. Thanks.

Crystal Reports - Some Basic Questions

Hi I am a student from Germany and I need to try Crystal Reports for a couple of days for my diploma thesis.
My first smal question is: Whats the basic programming language that CR is based on?
As far as I can judge it - its VBA right?
The focus of me thesis is the chart creation ....
Question 2: Is there a better solution from SAP to create Charts ... the Chart-Assistent from Crystal Report is pretty nice to work with - but imagine i dont want to create a report but just visualize some data in a chart for a quick overview of - lets say my market situation - is crystal reports the most edvanced way, that is also available in a trial version - to create charts.
Please please help me and answer my questions.
greetz
till
ps: please excuse my english, i may make some bad mistakes from time to time =)I)

Hi
About the charts: Depends on your requirements what exactly you want to implement.
There are Xcelsius, Crystal Reports both that you can create charts with.
I would sugest you to go through the docuemntations of Crystal Reports and Xcelsius first. So that you can be sure what all you can do using these tools.
Please download the product documentations from help.sap.com
Hope this helps!!

Secure PDF from Crystal Reports

What's the best way to secure a .pdf from Crystal Reports? I'm using reportdocument.exporttostream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat) in vb.net(VS2005) to create an IO.MemoryStream which is then sent via email. I'd like to add a password to this file before it's sent by email.....is it possible?

At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal report Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html
provides this functionality. It even allows you to dynamically control the password via a field/formula inside the Crystal report. It can also take care of the emailing part. You can call and request the processing from your own application (via a command line API).

How to make Crystal Report Document from MS Word document?

Hi
Is it any way to use MS Word document as template for Crystal Report document.
I can Insert document as OLE Object, but I want to disassemble it to Text Objects.
Thanks.

You can insert 1 page at a time as background (Insert in page header and elect to Underlay following section).
There is also 1 3rd-party tool that can use formulas from a Crystal report to fill a template MS Word document and save/email to a new MS Word document.
If you explain the actual end-product required by the user, it may be easier to suggest a solution.
