Fun with Formatting/Formulas

I am trying to 'change' a Crystal Report into XML Publisher and am running into some issues.
When I create the RTF template in Word (using Template Builder 5.6.2), I am losing the formatting on the first line. This template is using a 'standard' word memo format with the applicable to/from and tabs for the person the memo is being sent to. Is there a 'trick' the doing this?
Also, I need to perform a calculation based on a field being pulled from the database. The field has approximately 10 different codes which can be used with that same number of calculations. How would one achieve such a task?
Anythoughts or tips would be appreciated.

Storing a conditional formatting formula in a variable

I have a conditional formatting formula that exceeds the 393 character limit for Word fields. I've placed the formula directly into the template table, and it works correctly. But now, of course, there are several hundred characters of formatting information in that cell, along with the data field. Not pretty.
Is there a way to store that long formula into a variable, and then refer to that variable as the conditional format? I'm getting stuck on the right-arrow tags (>). I can't figure out how to include those in the string and store them in the variable.
Here's a simplified example of what I'm trying to do:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'myvar',"<?if:number(Sales) gt 1000000?><?attribute@incontext:color;'red'?><?end if?>")?>
The inclusion of the right-arrow tags (>) in the string causes a failure when attempting to Preview. If I replace all of the right-arrow tags with something else, like the number 8 ...
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'myvar',"<?if:number(Sales) gt 1000000?8<?attribute@incontext:color;'red'?8<?end if?8")?>
... the string is stored in the variable, and I can refer to it in the template table by using <?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'myvar')?>. It's useless, of course, but it works correctly. The string is stored in the variable, and the contents of the variable appear in the template.
So how can I imbed the right-arrow tags in this text string? Use an escape character? Imbed the ASCII code? I'd do either of those in a heartbeat if I could figure out the right syntax.

Error while processing conditional formatting formula in crosstab

This conditional formatting formula must return one of the following Color Constants: ' A number, currency amount, boolean, date, time, date-time, or string is expected here. Details: errorKind
The above error is displayed on the the Business Objects Report Server when running my report.
The XI server version information is as follows:
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2
Business Objects
11.5.0.3135
20060628
Crystal Reports XI Release 2
Business Objects
11.5.0.31327
20060628
My IDE is Crystal Reports 2008.
The error is being generated for the following conditional formatting formula which is in my crosstab:
evaluateafter ({@concatAppTypeAppMethod});
if CurrentRowIndex = 1 then
    color(0,153,153)
else if CurrentRowIndex = 2 then
    color(168,146,101)
else if CurrentRowIndex = 3 then
    color(0,51,153)
else if CurrentRowIndex = 4 then
    color(204,51,51)
else
    color(153,153,153)
This formula is applied via the Crosstab "Format Field>Font" tab. In the report developer (Crystal 2008) the report runs without error. When deployed to the server it fails with the above error.
Heres the details of {@concatAppTypeAppMethod}:
whileprintingrecords;
"Designs filed " + {Command.APPLICATION_METHOD}
The crosstab is structured as:
Row = {@concatAppTypeAppMethod}
Column = {@getMonth}
Summary = Count of {@concatAppTypeAppMethod}
Details for {@getMonth}:
right(totext(year({Command.ACN_COMPLETED_DATE}),"#"),2) + totext(month({Command.ACN_COMPLETED_DATE}),"0#")
The above functions Row i.e. {@concatAppTypeAppMethod} and {@getMonth} use fields from the SQL command.
{@getMonth} parses the ACN_COMPLETED_DATE field, obtains the record month and year and concatenates these as a string which can be displayed as follows in the crosstab:
May-08, Jun-08 etc.
{@concatAppTypeAppMethod} parses the APPLICATION_METHOD field and obtains the application filing method i.e. Online or Internally and concatenates the pretext "Designs filed " to the filing method (also a string).
I have tried various combinations of whilereadingrecords, whileprintingrecords and evaluateafter() with no success. The problem occurs because the conditional formatting formula is being executed before the records being formatted are ready.
I believe this is a problem with the crystal reports software and/or XI server.
Please prove me wrong.

Hi Raghavendra,
Thanks for your prompt answer! Can you confirm? Is it because I'm using calculated members in the report and these are not support by the XI server specified in my error report above?
If so, do you have any suggestions with regard to how I might be able to create a graph with the following attributes:
Show summary (count) of records per month per application method (i.e. online or internal. this is a database field retruned by the SQL command). In addition I need to add a series to the graph that shows the totals number of records per month irrespective of the relative application method (i.e. sum of online and internal) and finally I need to show the total number of online applications (i.e. application method = online) as a percentage of the total number of applications for the month.

What's wrong with this formula?

What's wrong with this formula? Why am I getting 0?

Mismatch in data types.
Status, "=*Book*" is fine, as the content of the status column is text, and the condition is comparing it to a text string (with wild cards)
But
Event Date, "=*2011*" compares a Date and Time value in Event Date to a text string (with wild cards).
Here's a demonstration, using COUNTIF to stand in for COUNTIFS.
Note that the "book" counts are all correct.
Note that the first Date count counts both occurrences of Jan 2, 2012 in column A, despite the difference in format used in displaying the dates, while the second counts neither, due to the wild card forcing it to look for a text string, not a Date and Time value.
For your case, you'll need a COUNTIFS formula with three test-range, condition pairs:
=COUNTIFS(Schedule :: $A,"=*book*",Schedule :: $B,">="&B2,Schedule :: B,"<="&B3)

Displaying "N/A" in report fields where Number data is not valid using a formatting formula

Post Author: Horizon57
CA Forum: General
I have many reports which are populated by "Number" data. However, there are certain charts and tables where the number data is not appropriate and the summation of such data does not add value to the report. In these instances I would like to display "N/A", however the formula I am using keeps giving me an error that I need to use a "Number" data type. Please note this is a formatting formula.
Formatting Formula
DO{TREND.EPTP1} = 'N/A' AND{TREND.EPTP2} = 'N/A' AND{@Trend %} = 'N/A' WHILE {TREND.POS2} = 'TOTAL';
Can anyone assist me with displaying "N/A"?

Post Author: V361
CA Forum: General
Try this
DOtotext ( {TREND.EPTP1} ) = 'N/A' ANDtotext ( {TREND.EPTP2} ) = 'N/A' ANDtotext ( {@Trend %} ) = 'N/A' WHILE {TREND.POS2} = 'TOTAL';

Help with formatting for Cross Tab Report Crystal 2008

This is probably a simple question. I have a cross tab report that displays sales by month for a period of 6 months. These sales columns are formatted to be numbers with no decimals. In addition to these columns, I have inserted columns that display the percentage up/down in sales over the previous month. If I try to format the percentage columns, it changes every column to then display "##,##.##%" when I need to keep the sales columns at "##,###" with no decimal or percentage sign.
1. Is there a way to change the formatting of some of the columns but not all in a cross tab report?
2. If not, can I add a function that would change these in the calculation formula of the calculated member?
I tried to add "%" but it wants it to return a number.
Here is the current code:
//The calculation formula is used in place of the summaries in Calculated Members.
// This calculation formula must return a/an Number value.
If GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex) = 0 then 0 else
((GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-1,CurrentSummaryIndex) -
GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex)) /
GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex)) * 100
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Tobi

Carl,
Thank you for your help. I did try your method but still couldn't get it to ignore the fact that it wanted a number. I changed my approach a litte and managed to solve the problem. Here is the method that I chose which managed to solve the problem. If this is a poor way to solve it, please let me know as I am always open for new ways.
Format Field > Number Tab > Customize > Currency Symbol Tab
Checked Enable Currency Symbol Fixed, changed currency symbol to %. This is the same thing that I did before which changes it for all columns.
Beside Enable Currency checkbox, I added this formula:
// This conditional formatting formula must return one of the following Currency Symbol Constants:
// crNoCurrencySymbol
// crFixedCurrencySymbol
// crFloatingCurrencySymbol
If GridRowColumnValue("InvoiceLine.TxnDate") = Date(0,0,0) then
crFixedCurrencySymbol
else
crNoCurrencySymbol
My added columns have a null date field so they take the currency format. My other columns do not so they do not take the formatting.
Thanks again for the help.
Tobi

Chart (Graph) Font Name - Formatting Formula

Hi,
I am displaying chart in report, and I have requirement to select (format) font name with some condition (e.g.. As per database language, if database is english - Font Name: "Times New Roman", if database version is Spanish - Font Name: "Arial" etc.)
Currently I am trying to add "Font Name" formula for x-axis in Graph by "Formula Fields -> Formatting Formulas -> Report Footer -> Report Footer A -> Graph2" and Right click "New Font Formula -> Font Name -> Use Editor", but nothing happens. I tired and noticed It works for "Background Color" .
Please let me know, how can I add Font Name formula for Graph.
Note: I am working with Crystal XI

Vamsee,
Thanks for your reply.
You are right, I also want to format x-axis field values but how can I reach (access) to "x-axis" field formatting formula for Graph. In Formula Workshop I can find hierarchy upto Graph level only, I cannot find any node such as X-axis, Y-axis under it.

Help with formatting function

Hi
I'm new to constructing functions in Numbers so I don't know if this
can actually be done.
Basically, I'm trying to change the cell colour IF the string LEN is > 10
So for I've got:
=IF(LEN(Ad2 General>10),Ad2 General)
But not to sure exactly how to pull this off.
I've looked around the web, but can't find anything.
Thanks

For this kind of need, I use a tip described here many times.
I build an auxiliary table with the formula :
=IF(LEN(Tableau 1 :: B2)>8,1,0)
where Tableau 1 is the name of the main table.
I apply to this table the conditional format :
if cell contents equal 0 set text and background to white
if cell contents equal 1 set text and background to red
Then, I move the table behind the main one defined as transparent.
The result is :

Formatting formula help

I am trying to format a string that appends leading zeroes to a number based on it's value..... but I'm getting decimals in the final product, and want to format it to drop the decimals. Here is the formula:
if (Sum ({tblOutlets.Sun}, {@PBS_rt})<10) then "000"&Sum ({tblOutlets.Sun}, {@PBS_rt})
else
if (Sum ({tblOutlets.Sun}, {@PBS_rt})<100) then "00"&Sum ({tblOutlets.Sun}, {@PBS_rt})
else
if (Sum ({tblOutlets.Sun}, {@PBS_rt})<1000) then "0"&Sum ({tblOutlets.Sun}, {@PBS_rt})
else
if (Sum ({tblOutlets.Sun}, {@PBS_rt})<10) then ""&Sum ({tblOutlets.Sun}, {@PBS_rt})
if my output is "0021.00" and I want "0021"...... how can I accomplish that with formatting in the formula?
Thanks in advance for indulging the frustrated.....

You're making it too tough. Try this...
ToText({@YourFormula}, "0000")
This will yield a minimum 4 digit integer number with no decimal places. Bear in mind that no rounding will occur. It just drops the decimals.
12.3 = 0012
1.3598 = 0001
112548.25 = 102548
112548.85 = 102548
If you want additional leading 0's just add them between the ""
ToText({@YourFormula}, "000000000")
12.3 = 0000000012
1.7598 = 0000000001
112548.25 = 0000102548
112548.85 = 0000102548

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell without having to check the can grow option. When the can grow option is checked it does wrap the text however it spans multiple rows, which causes complications when trying to sort.
It worked in:
ProductVersion=10.0.0.533
ProductName=Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded
Doesnt work in:
Crystal Reports 10.0 Service Pack 6
After the upgrade the reports did not autowrap, b/c the "can grow" option was not checked. I believe this was fixed by "ADAPT00305137 Patch ID: 36479914
Description:
When users export to Excel 97-2000 with the page-based format, text fields are wrapped, even when the "can grow" feature in the
Designer is turned off." . After we turn the option to grow on it does wrap however it spans across multiple rows. So I guess my question is there a way for it not to span multiple rows when wrapping text?
Edited by: dforde on Jan 27, 2010 11:12 PM

I could be wrong, but I believe the export to excel option exports the database values, and the export to HTML exports the values seen in the sheets. If the database values are stored as seconds, the Excel will see them as seconds, and the data will have to be formatted properly in Excel.
I haven't toyed around with Excel exports that much, but it might be possible to set up a template or macro in excel that would have the proper formatting, and use it when opening the Disco export.

Application Express 3.1 + BI-Publisher + problem with formating numbers

Hello together!
I use the Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word (10.1.3.4) to generate RTF-Templates. I upload these templates in Oracle Apex (Advanced support-->BI-Publisher/OC4J as print service).
It works well, but I have a problem with formating numbers.
In Template Builder I define following number formats, for example: #.##0 for numbers like 1.454.234 and #.##0,00 for numbers like 54,80
In Template-Builder Preview it looks well.
But whatever I do, in use with Oracle Apex dots and comma are allready interchances in the printout.
That means,
1.454.234 become 1,454,234 in PDF-Report
54,80 become 54.80 in PDF-Report
Other than that, the layout is exactly the same like in Template Builder defined.
What's wrong?
Do I have to change any country parameter?
Juliane

I also had the same problem. I tried with normal formating of 99g99g999d99 instead of ##,##,##0.00 and it has resulted correct way.

Copying data to member with member formula

Hi All,
How do I copy data to a member with member formula? For example, I have a member called "Opening_Balance_Rooms" this member has member formula so storage property is Dynamic Calc. It has data value of 1300 in local currency for post0+12 (Post0+12->Local=1300) and I want to copy the same to USDForecast0+12Rates. Below will explain my requirment clearly. Using Essbase V11.1.1.3.
Column1........... Column2
Post0+12.............. Post0+12
Local.................... USDForecast0+12Rates
Opening_Balance_Rooms 1300.............. 0 (I want to populate 1300 instead of 0 here)

Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form

Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form in Numbers for iPhone or is it impossible and thus a serious bug?(Rating stars and numeric vales seem to work.)
Those bugs happen both for new speadsheets as well as existing onces, like the demo. When you are in the form only the numeric keyboard shows up.
Pat from the Apple Store Rosenstrasse/Germany approved that it looks like a Bug during the Numbers Workshop I was in: It is not possible to add new columns with format "Text". I reported the error for Version 1.4 but there is no update nor do I get statement of understanding the issue.

Hi Knochenhort,
I see what you are talking about now. Without knowing how the program actually works, I think this is what's going on:
When you add a new column to an already existing table (with already existing formats), the new cells come already formatted like the previous column. So when you add a column to the end of the demo table, the cells are already formatted like stars, and when you add a column to the beginning, they're already formatted like number.
I think this is why it's different when if you add columns to a table with blank (unformatted) columns. In that case, the new cells aren't already "tainted" with a set format, so you can change to text format without issue.
It seems like the problem is that you can't format cells that are already formatted as "number" as "text" format (even if it doesn't look like they are, because they are blank). IMO, this is a bug! This is why you don't see this issue when adding columns to a new table, because the new cells don't already come with a format.
To workaround, you can highlight the body cells after adding the new column, and delete the cells. This will "clear" the formatting, so you can then go in the inspector, format them as text, and the correct keyboard will pop up.
Hope that helps!
