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...

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}.

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?

Text justification issue in crystal report

Hi,
I have MVC application with crystal report in it. I am exporting crystal report to PDF, everything except text justification (as we do in MS-Word) is not working. Even in crystal report viewer itself it's not working.
I have been trying since few days to solve text justification problem in CR. Well I have goggled a lot for this and found different available option to get the thing done. But that didn't solved my problem, I have read many replies on the crystal report discussion regarding the same but no result. I have tried four different versions of crystal report (13.0.5,13.0.6,13.0.9,13.0.13) as I found on the web that justify could work in these versions, but I was shocked when I didn't get anything useful.
For me it's like justify doesn't work in crystal report by any means. Can any one here tell me who has solved the text justification problem in crystal report. I have attached sample screen shot of word document where in I have specified my requirement of text justification.
Any positive reply would be highly appreciated.

Out of Memory issue in crystal report 2008 SP1

Hi ALL,
I am facing serious issue in crystal report 2008 SP1.
When i am click the page setup in crystal report 2008 ,it is prompting like "Out of Memory".
Because of this i am not able to see the default printer in the page setup.
Please give the suggestions to resolve this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Vinay

Hi Ed,
What printer are you using as your default printer?
What happens if you change your default printer to Microsofts generic print driver? Only as a test to remove the printer being the cause.
Also, Go into Page Setup and check on Dissociate Printer..... and see if that fixes the issue.
Also, include all your OS version and patch level, Status of DEP, anti-virus turned off ( disconnect from your network while doing this test ) and Windows Firewall or any third party firewall and close all other software running.
Thanks again

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]

Hi Experts,
Am using sap business one 9.0 PL 11 in my Local system. and using Crystal Reports 2011. I created some Layouts and imported to SAP. Now, I opened again the same from SAP to Edit. When am using Add-ins -- save / save as, that's showing an error. (Attaching the screen shot below). I checked for a solution in forum and all. There are some old discussions and followed some methods like re-installation and all but not helped anything to solve my issue.
So please help me to get out of this issue.

How to overcome the Memory leakage issue in crystal report 2008 SP2 setup.

I have developed the small windows based application tool with help of Visual studio 2008 for identify the memory consumption of crystal report object. It helps to load the crystal report objects in the memory and then released the object from the memory. The tool simply does the u201CLoading and Unloadingu201D the objects in the memory.
The tool will be started once u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D executed. The u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D consumes u201C9768 KBu201D memory before load the crystal report object in memory. It means, 9768 KB is normal memory consumption for run the tool.
Crystal report object initiated by the tool and object help to load the report in memory once the tool initiated the crystal report object. Now u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D consumes u201C34980 KBu201D memory during the crystal report object creation and report load process. The actual memory consumption of crystal report object is 34980u20139768=u201C25212u201DKBu201D.
The memory consumption u201C34980 KBu201D will be continued till the end of the process. The memory consumption will be reduced to u201C34652 KBu201D from u201C34980 KBu201D once report load process completed. It means, u201C328 KBu201D memory only released from the memory consumption. Tool enables the Release command for the crystal report object. But crystal report object does not respond to the command and will not release his memory consumption.
The memory consumption u201C34652 KBu201D will be stayed in the memory once job ends. If i again initiate the crystal report object then it crystal report object start to consume the memory from 34652 KB.
Database objects and crystal report objects are properly used in the tool. The object release commands properly communicated to crystal report setup. But the u201CCrystal report service pack 2u201D setup unable to respond the commands which has enabled from .Net Tool. Crystal report objects are properly initiated and disposed in the tool. But the crystal report unable to release from the server.
The memory consumption will be reduced once the server restarted or kill the application.
Crystal report 2008 and crystal report 2008 SP2 setup available in the server.
Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 SP2, Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 SP2 and Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 are available in the server,
Could you please suggesst how to avoid the memory consumption keep increasing and how to release the memory consumption once the crystal object disposed???

Hi Don..
My case is different one. I hope, the problem with Run time Installation setup file (Crystal report 2008 Serivce Pack2 installer) which we installed in the server.
Let me explain with Live scenario which our client faced in crystal report 2008 Service pack2 Installer.
Our client is using a application to help to print their reports. The application is developed with Windows service.
Windows service keep on running in the server. Windows service executes the client 's crystal reports( Labels Report, Stock report) which designed for clients need and the reports will be printed from printer.
10 Same type report (Label Report) will be printed in 1 minute. Reports are not printing during non business hours. But the windows service keep on running. Memory cosumption of application will be 160 MB in business hours.
For Example, On Monday the application memory consumption starts with 160 MB. The Memory consumption will be reached 165 MB in peak business hours. Then the memory will be ended in163 MB in the End of Monday. It means, The memory consumption will be in 163 MB during the non business hours. Reports will not be printed in non business hours.
On Tuesday, the application memory consumption starts with 163 MB and it will be reached 168 MB during the peak hours. The Memory consumption will be ended in 165 MB in the end of Tuesday. The same process contiues till friday. End of friday, the memory consumption of the application will be ended with 170 MB.
Application Memory Consumption slowly increasing in the server. In 5 days, Memory consumption reached Threshold value (170 MB) of the server. Application gets hanged up once the memory consumption reached 170 MB. We got the error messages as "Attempted to read write protected memory " / "Not Enough memory for process". If we restart server / If we restart the service then memory consumption of application get reduced to 160 MB.
From the above scenario, We came know that the either the problem with Application object or the problem crystal report object. In the application, We have checked dispose methods of application objects completly. I am sure that application objects are properly disposed in the application. I hope the problem not with application objects. The problem with Crystal report objects.
Application properly communicates the dispose methods to crystal report objects. Crystal report objects are not released from
the memory.
Crystal report 2008 Serive Pack 2 setup installed in the server.
As you said, If Crystal report runtime is not released from memory then memory consumption keep increase??? In service oriented architecture application, how to unload the crystal report runtime??
Do you any fix for this kind of issue??
Willl Crystal report 2008 service pack 3 help on this issue??

Issue with Crystal Report export to PDF

Have a report in Crystal Report 2008. The report runs fine, but would like to export it to PDF/EXCEL, but nothing happens when I select the Export type(i.e. PDF,Excel, etc).
Steps to replicate:
1. Run Crystal Report
2. Click on EXPORT button.
3. Select the Export type (PDF).
4. Click on EXPORT - Nothing happens nor does it return any error.
Would someone be able to provide some tips on this issue
Thanks

The problem is that the 3rd party is using some CR SDK. We don't even know what SDK that is. They should be coming here and asking us to help them on your behalf. It is almost impossible for us to help, not knowing how they implemented the SDK, which SDk, etc..
