How to build an 8.5 report where a single source repeats with each piece of data
I don't really know how to characterize this problem or if there is a short-hand for the type. Here is my dilemma:
I have a SQL table of tracking numbers which is custom to our version of Dynamics. The table contains both orders and invoices. Each invoice may have 1 or more tracking numbers, but each tracking number associated with an invoice or order is recorded as a different record under the invoice or order number. E.g.:
SOPNUMBE SOPTYPE Tracking Number
INV0001234 3 1ZA12341234
INV0001234 3 1ZA12341235
INV0001234 3 1ZA12341236
ORD005111 2 FedEx 123411
ORD005111 2 FedEx 123412
INV0001287 3 1ZA12349876
ORD005134 2 1ZA12345263
INV0001291 3 FedEx 165304
INV0001291 3 1ZA12345666
and so on ...
What I'm trying to do in Crystal, which is the only way I can access that table (nothing within Dynamics allows me to access that table) is create a page of labels, based on the date of the SOPNUMBE and the SOPTYPE, (IOW only invoices) that shows as the following:
INV0001234 INV0001287 INV0001291
1ZA12341234 1ZA12349876 FedEx 165304
1ZA12341235 1ZA12345666
1ZA12341236
I would be using 2 x 1.5 labels, 3 or 4 labels across and 6 down, approximately
Here is my problem: I cannot use the Mail Label format as it requires each line having a different Field Physical Name. However, if I use a standard Crystal format or an undefined format, I can get the right layout for one column only. If I try to use 3 columns across, it simply repeats the data in the first column. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to create 3 or 4 columns across with separate data.
The purpose is to be able to attach the appropriate label to the actual invoice for the information, which customers tend to call in for, anyway. Now, we have to hand-write the Tracking Numbers on each invoice, which makes for an increase in errors.
Any suggestions and/or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Laura Douglas
it could be that 8.5 doesn't have this option to do a group sort / top n.
if you're looking for the data to spill into a new label then that won't work for you anyways.
here are some options:
a) the group itself needs to repeat in order to have another label available. the only way to do something like this in 8.5 is for your database administrator to create a stored procedure that groups the sopnumber data into sets of N values.
e.g. each group would only have at the most 5 tracking numbers. if a sopnumber had 12, then 3 groups would be created by the stored procedure, e.g. INV0001234_a, INV0001234_b, & INV0001234_c this would be required to create the correct number of labels and to ensure that all data from each sopnumber was eventually displayed.
once a stored proc is created to break up the data into these groups, you need to create a new report off of the proc and use this new grouping field to base your group on.
b) another option would be based on whether or not your database had a specific field that indicated a running total counter for the tracking numbers which was reset every sopnumber. e.g. if sopnumber INV0001234 had 4 tracking numbers, there would be a field that indicated 1,2,3,or 4 depending on the record.
c) another option would be if the stored proc simply brought back the data that you have as well as a running total / counter that indicated / counted in a manner similar to the above. this may be a better option than a) or b)

Go to Solution.Dude,
Your way of asking questions sucks!
- Do not use such fonts!
- Try to find things out yourself first (apparently GovBob was able to find info, so could you)
- Have you asked GovBob if he likes it that you mail him for more questions?
You ask for a complete solution on a project YOU have to do. (you dont learn of it if you dont try it yourself first)
Hopefully you will ask questions in a less DEMANDING way next time.
Good luck with your project -
I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!
Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

How can i use link in report to go to new page with parameters??
Hello
I've created a report and have added a link (to a html url) to one of the columns. Whenever i click that column in a row, a new page appears. At this moment this page is static. However, i want to show the details of the selected row in the report. This means that somehow i have to pass a parameter to the second page with the primary key of the selected report row.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanx
BenYou can do this using SQL based reports.
Here is an example
select ''||empno||'' emplink,ename
from SCOTT.EMP
Here the link "http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?id=" takes a parameter whose value is the empno.
In the column formatting section of SQL reports you should display this column as HTML and not TEXT. -
I use Adobe Photoshop CS4_Bridge _Photo Downloader to import images from CF Cards into my 11" Mac Book Air. I have an issue with the Text files
that seem to accompany each and every image that I do not need. How do I stop Apple Script (which I assume is the culprit in this case) from interferring with this process.Your iWeb Site is stored not on your iDisk, but on a file named Domain.sites in your ~/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ Folder.
If , for whatever reason, you wipe your HD and/or lose this file (Get a new computer, Re-Install your OS, Stolen Laptop, Crashed HD, Etc.) without backing-up your Domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your iWeb sites from scratch again.
Of course you can edit your Published HTML files in a different program such as Dreamweaver or even Text Edit. You just can't edit Published HTML files in iWeb. Not at this time at least.
Use iWebBackup to backup your Domain file to a Blank CD or DVD. Backing up your Domain file to another folder on your computer is not fully backing it up. If your computer gets stolen you still lost the file but if you have your Domain file burned onto a CD you have a backup!
Download iWebBackup Here
You can use iWebExtender to automatically consolidate your files into one folder and delete multiple images.

My family has the same Apple ID, which is a problem when we don't have the same data on our products. Can we have separate Apple IDs for each person? If so, how can we change it and not lose what we currently have stored on our Ipod Touch/Ipod/Iphone? I just restored my son'e Itouch and it has Cloud. Will he delete my husband's contacts (from his Iphone) if my son deletes contacts on the Ipod Touch?

How to change database in crystal report design

What do you mean by this?
I have not yet installed the Crystal Addon for SAP (Using R1 Reports now) I would hope that Addon allows you to use a different database with Crystal, my current solution does and that is how I build most of my reports with views and sp's.
I hope this is not to far off topic.
