Grouping two sections in one report

Hello,
I am newbie to Crystal Reports.I have one doubt in designing a report.
The proto for the report is:
Date: XX:XX:XXXX
                                Sales Report - Value
S No     Item         Increase    Decrease
1           XXX
2           YYY
                                Sales Report - Volume
S No     Item         Increase    Decrease
1           XXX
2           YYY
Here, there is a hyperlink in Item in both Value Report and Volume Report, which opens a subreport about the item.
How can i proceed the proto. It is easy to group an item if it is only Sales - Value Report.
Here, both Value and Volume report should present in main report.How can i proceed with Sales Report - Value and Sales Report - Volume in a single report file, without subreport concept.
If i use the subreport here, i am not able to include a subreport- hyperlink in Item.
Thanks in advance.
With Regards,
Suresh M.

In the main report insert a group on Value and in group footer place a subreport that consist of data under Volume group. Pass the Volume field value from main report to subreport using change subreport links by right clicking the subreport.

Raghavendra

Two Sections in One Report

Hello All,
            I have a req wherein a Report Will Contain Two Different Sections.
Section A                                               |       Section B

All the fields are Similar in both the sections, Section A will show outstanding A/R. Section B Will Show Partial Payments. Any ideas?

Hi
Option 1: have two reports and then have a workbook for both reports
option 2: have a static column structure
                       Outstanding AR                    Partial Payments

How to separate report layout sections in one report

All,
I'm trying to determine how to separate report layout sections in one report using Report Builder 10g. My requirement is to provide a user the ability to display a report in PDF, excel, RTF formats. How can I assign LayoutA to 'PDF' and 'RTF', LayoutB to 'Spreadsheet'?
I've attempted to utilize the Header and Main sections in the paper layout, which contain unique layouts of the same report, but during generation, both sections are being displayed.
Thanks
Edited by: Jdavis on Apr 10, 2009 10:56 PM

Hi there,
How are you running the report? If you are selecting different types of output before calling the report then you could pass a parameter that is checked at runtime in the report and suppresses the layouts you do not want using format triggers.

How to add a field object to group header section in crystal report document?

Hi All, I have got two questions mentioned below, please share your inputs. 1)I want to know whether it is possible to add a field object to header section in crystal report document programmatically? I am using crystal runtime for visual studio. I know that using RAS we can do it, but I want to do it using managed library of crystal runtime. Please suggest. 2) I am doing a POC where I am using RAS (unmanaged library) to manipulated crystal report document. Please see code below: var dbTable = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables[0]; var dbField = dbTable.DataFields.FindField(item.ColumnName, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrFieldDisplayNameTypeEnum.crFieldDisplayNameName, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CeLocale.ceLocaleEnglishUS); CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject fieldObject = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject(); fieldObject.DataSourceName = dbField.Name; fieldObject.FieldValueType = dbField.Type; var groupHeaderArea = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.GroupHeaderArea[0].Sections[i]; _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Add(fieldObject, groupHeaderArea); In above code last line throwing exception : "The report field type is not valid." at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportObjectControllerClass.Add(ISCRReportObject ReportObject, Section Section, Int32 nIndex) Thanks, Jai

Hi Jaikumar
As per the SCN Rules of engagement, one question per thread please.
Re. your 1st question. Adding a field to a report is considered to be a report creation APIs (RCAPI). Only the RAS SDK has RCAPIs, so you can not use plain jane crystal APIs. For how to with RAS, see the examples here: NET RAS SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
Also, consult the Developer Help Files:
Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide
Report Application Server .NET API Guide
Re. your second question, please create a new discussion.

Is it possible to have a Summary section display above every grouped Details section in a report?

I'm trying to create a report that displays a "Summary" section above every grouped Details section.
Is this possible in SSRS? If so, what is the best way to do it?
Thanks!

Hi mmw_pdx,
In order to achieve your requirement, we can use two tables to separately display summary data and detail data. Then use a list to combine the two tables based on the Name group. For more details, please see:
Drag a table to design surface, add a group grouped by Food.
Right-click the first column to insert a column with Inside Group-Right, then insert the corresponding values.
Drag another table to design surface, insert the corresponding values.
Drag a list to design surface with current dataset, then drag the two tables in the list.
Add a group grouped by Name in the list.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Two queries in one report?

I have Three tables like
Device_table columns are
d_id, d_name, date
Software_table
sw_id, software, version, serial_no, sw_type, d_id(foreign_key)
hardware_table
hw_id, hardware, specification, d_id(foriegn_key)
now in reports i want to attach both hardware and software, I have made two quires like
SELECT d.d_name, sw.software, sw.version, sw.sw_type from
device_table d, software_table sw
where d.d_id = sw.d_id
and second query is
SELECT d.d_name, hw.hardware, hw.specification
from device_table d, hardware_table hw
where d.d_id = hw.d_id
Now my problem is that how can I add both queries in one report so that i can get a list of software and hardware attached to one device.

Crystal Reports - Two Tables in one report, grouped by machine.

I have two tables for machine schedules. One is a Current Job Table, and the other is a Que Job Table. I do have tables joined to a definition table for the machine name.
Cur Job Table - Def table
Que Job Table - Def table
I want to report the information from the current job table for each 13 machines in sequence. Some machines may have more current jobs than qued jobs.
...Machine 1 (Machine Name)
.....Current Jobs (Cur Job Table)
.....Qued Jobs (Que Job Table)
...Machine 2 (Machine Name)
.....Current Jobs (Cur Job Table)
.....Qued Jobs (Que Job Table)
Etc.
Is there a way to do this easily? I have tried grouping and sub reports. Seems like I end up with duplicate records due to the SQL joins.

Sharon,
Select distinct will not work here, as select distinct checks all fields in the record, and when joining the two detail tables, it will not clear out "duplicates" on only one side of the join.
I would also humbly suggest that using Select Distinct to try to "clean up" a query is rather dangerous. You may end up dropping some data that should appear on the report. (In fact I recently had to fix a report due to this issue - coded by someone else, of course! :->) If you are getting duplicate records and you don't want them, the query should be coded to produce the desired result set WITHOUT the Distinct clause being the reason duplicates are dropped. (This is not to say that select distinct is not useful, or should never be used. If you need a distinct list of customers over a date range, using Select Distinct custcode from sales where date between {?start} and {?end} is perfectly OK.)

Two layouts in one report

I have a requirement where I have two queries giving two different outputs, I want these two in one single report with two layouts, I was able to achieve this with Concatenate option and there by build by RTF templates based on the Groups of each query, The problem I found is the performance because everytime view is hit by choosing the required report layout both the queries are running and ther by affecting performance, Is there anyway that when I choose the layout only the query related to that layout is run and other when I choose the other layout?
Regards

Hi Srini,
Thanks for your response!
I am not using my "back button".
Clicking the report first time in a session (or viewing the report after modifying it) opens "html" and next time onwards it opens last selected template layout and output format. I am not sure whether this is a bug or intended behavior.
Thanks,
Ashok

Joining two datasets for one report

Hi All,
I have 2 datasets i want to joing together.
The 1st is a mysql query and 2nd is a mssql query, I have set a parameter which is the userid from the mysql query and added this to my mssql query.
If i execute the mssql query and add the parameter my self then the report will run.
I want to be able to set the mssql query to pull the userid from the mysql query and then output the information in another table. Is this possible? or is there another way to do this.
Thanks

I want to be able to set the mssql query to pull the userid from the mysql query and then output the information in another table. Is this possible? or is there another way to do this.
Hi Phil1988,
According to your description, there are two data sources in your report, one is mysql database and another one is mssql database, now what you want is that get the userid from mysql database and use this values to filter data on mysql dataset, right?
In this case, what you have done is exactly right. (I have set a parameter which is the userid from the mysql query and added this to my mssql query.) Create a paraemter, get available values and default value from the mysql dataset, and then use
this parameter to filter data on mssql dataset.

Two statements for one report (Analysis)

Hi all,
please help me understand the behavior of OBIEE.
When I open my Analysis, it asks for input parameters. These parameters are collumn prompts with checked "require user input". Sure, user can't run Analysis without any parameters.
Now what is strange. In Administration -> Manage sessions I can see TWO statements, created by me. I didn't run this report twice. This happens often. It's not all. These two statements are not equal. One of them has WHERE clause with my parameters I've set, but another statement DOESN'T have any WHERE clause. Actually, the first statement runs for a minute or like that. But the second statement can run for an hour and longer. But this is not just my observation, users complain about slow performance. The Analysis DOESN'T return any result untill both statements end their work although the first statement with WHERE clause is already finished.
How I deal with it... I perform cansel in Administration -> Manage sessions and then run Analysis again with the same input parameters. It returns result in few seconds, it seems like using cache (but repository object is not cashable).
What is wrong here? This looks like inappropriate behavior. This is not huge problem for business, because we have only few users at this stage. Most of users still use SAP Business Objects. So I can waste my time for canselling of statements for these few users. But the question is what will be in the future. Please, help me.

Remove a column at a time, and see if that makes BI fire only one query. Once you identify column forcing query to split, check RPD model for the logical table for that field. Check content level, logical sources, physical and logical diagrams etc. Also perform consistency check.

Read aloud EPUB. Group two spans with one id.

I want two words, each on its own span (each has a different style. That's why it has to be two spans) to light up at the same time.
I tried grouping them on one span, or div with the same smil id. But it only lights up the first word.
Any idea how to make this work?
Thanks a bunch!

Hi Jeremy,
The access point only supports to have one BVI1 interfaced configured with an IP address since it is a basic layer 2 device.
Since it is IOS based you can try to configure an Ip address to more then one BVI1 but this will not work since the AP only supports an IP address configured on the BVI1 interface for managment of the unit.
Know the access point allows us to configure VLANs and for VLANS to work we need to link each VLAN to an specifc bridge group leaving always the bridge group one that is linked to the BVI1 for the VLAN the access point has an IP address of and set as native VLAN.
Here is the link that explains how VLANs work on the access points.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps4570/products_configuration_example09186a00801d0815.shtml
If you work with VLANs you can have different subnets or VLANs linked to each SSID and each SSID with an specifc security method.

Information from two views in one report

I posted a thread earlier but I think I was little amibiguous about my problem and posted too much info. on the background of the problem maybe I can clarify.
I have a report on a view TRK_CALLS_VIEW. This is dblinked to a table. Columns include
User_
Assigned_to
Problem
Solution
Status
Here is my region source code:
SELECT webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.ID, webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.USER_, webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.ASSIGNED_TO, webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.PROBLEM, webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.SOLUTION, webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.STATUS
FROM webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW
WHERE
( STATUS = 'Open' and :P2_REPORT_SEARCH is null )
or
( regexp_like( USER_ || '#' || ASSIGNED_TO || '#' || PROBLEM || '#' ||
SOLUTION || '#' || STATUS, :P2_REPORT_SEARCH, 'i' ) )
I want to include columns from another view in the report. TRK_USER_VIEW.
Columns include:
id
lname
fname
User_ from TRK_CALLS_VIEW contains the same number as id in TRK_USER_VIEW.
How would I add this to my existing code and have the names corespond to the correct id
Thanks

so in the above code you can see that both the webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW and webb.TRK_USER_VIEW have some column that are named the same. eg/ "USER_","id". That is fine as SQL has provided a means to uniquely identify the columns. When you join these two views together and try to select or reference either the USER_ or id column without specifying which view you want to get the information from then that creates ambiguity and the compiler does not know if you want the USER_ form view 1 or view 2 and thus there is an error.
To solve this issue we need to use . (dot) notation to specify the object (in this case view) which holds the column we want. We will also alias columns which share the same name. Here is how we would modify the above SQL statement:
SELECT
------ View 1 ------
       tcv.ID          "TCV_ID", -- ID has been aliased to a unique name.
       tcv.USER_,
       tcv.ASSIGNED_TO,
       tcv.PROBLEM,
       tcv.SOLUTION,
       tcv.STATUS,
------ View 2 -------
       tuv.id          "TUV_ID", -- ID has been aliased to a unique name.
       tuv.lname,
       tuv.fname
-- also i used the alias tcv and tuv so that i could refer to the views by just using the alias rather than the lengthy view name.
FROM webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW tcv,
     webb.TRK_USER_VIEW tuv
-- This is where we JOIN the views on a key value. In this case USER_.
-- Always make sure your joins are the first portion of your where clause.
WHERE tcv.USER_ = tuv.USER_
-- I have explicetly referenced the view i want the column to come from by putting
-- "tcv." infront of each column name. This tells the compiler to use TRK_CALLS_VIEW
AND ( tcv.STATUS = 'Open' and :P2_REPORT_SEARCH is null )
   OR ( regexp_like( tcv.USER_ || '#' || tcv.ASSIGNED_TO || '#' || tcv.PROBLEM || '#' ||
      tcv.SOLUTION || '#' || tcv.STATUS, :P2_REPORT_SEARCH, 'i' ) )
{code}

How to create an action that will crop two sections from one scanned image?

I'm trying to create an action that will automate the process of cropping the left and right pages from a series of two-page book scans.
I tried to create a 2 step action which first crops the left half of a scan (by setting the left margin to 0in and the right margin to 6in) and then the right half of the scan (by setting the left margin to 6in and the right margin to. 12in), however when executing, only the left half appears to be cropped.
I imagine this is due to the fact that once one side of the initial scan is cropped, the other side disappears.
Is there any way around this?

Basically i need to create a new document out of a folder full of images.
You may have to look into Scripting to achieve something like this.
You could ask in the Scriptimg Forum
Photoshop Scripting
But maybe it would suffice to insert the Menu Item
File – Scripts – Load Files into Stack
into the Action and then iterate through the Layers with [ or ] and reset the opacities and Blend Modes – but as Actions would not be able to change the number of repetitions of the operation conditionally a custom Script would still seem preferable.

Can Grow Fields in Group Header Section Overlap

Does anyone know of a size limitation to can grow fields on a group header section?   I have 2 fields in a group header section of my report. They are defined as varchar(3000) and varchar(6000).   However, on my test case, the contents of each has lengths of 1,113 and 572 respectively.   The fields are listed vertically in the group.   The one that's listed on top, overlaps the one on the bottom.
   field_varchar(3000)
field_varchar(6000)
Thanks in advance for any help or information you can provide.

Thank you SO MUCH!   That worked!!   I should've thought of that myself - but I'm pretty new to Crystal.
