How to create Custom shapes in Crystal Reports ?

All,
i need to create two thickish semi circles like half donuts... each of the donut needs to be conditionally formatted depending on some values. am wondering is it possible to create half donuts ? or custom shapes for that matter to suit my requirement.

here's what i would recommend and it's a bit of work:
create a bunch of formulas that you can populate dynamically.
@green
if yourcondition1 then 1 else 0
@red
if yourcondition2 then 1 else 0
@blue
if yourcondition3 then 1 else 0
etc.
as Abhilash mentioned you need to use a Donut type chart. you create 1 formula for every colour that you want to use in the chart. you then add all of them as Show Values. you'll get a message / warning about adding all of the values but you can ignore that warning.
now you have to manually colour each part of the chart. there is a Color Expert in the chart but i would not recommend using it as it is very limited. you are better off creating one series / show value in the chart for every colour that you use and populating those formulas conditionally.
when you run the report, you need to ensure that only 2 of the formulas meet a TRUE condition. that way you'll have two halves all the time.

How to create a lookup in Crystal Reports or SQL Server

I need to create an Operating Statement report. The problem is that I need to create a lookup or something to satify a requirement that even if there is no data in the system it will still bring back a description.
Example: 01 = Income, 02 = Expense, 03 = Labor.. ect(there are 31 of these)
If there is no data for 03 I still need Labor to print.
In my SQL I did a CASE statment that said when
Account = '3001' THEN 01, Account = '3002' THEN 02, Account = '3003' THEN 03 ECT
Then I created a formula a in Crystal that reads the case Statement to assign descriptions 01 = Income, 02 = Expense, 03 = Labor.
The problem is when there is no data for Account 3003 then the formula does not know to still bring back 03 as Labor.
Can I create a lookup to assign the description, I dont care about the values they can come back as zero.
Is there a formula or can I create a sql statement to pull back a derived table anything but to create a physical table?
Any help would be great.

Thank you Ludek for answering my post. That was just the information I needed. I inserted a formula field and then changed the font to Wingdings and that gave me my checkbox.    Not being familiar with Crystal Reports I had a devil of a time just figuring out how to insert a formula field as the field explorer is not easy to find. The following link will help any developers who might have that problem too.
http://aspadvice.com/blogs/rjdudley/archive/2005/08/09/2642.aspx
Lastly Iu2019ll add the part of my formula which gives you a checked or unchecked check box in a Windings font:
--For Check box checked
    Formula = Chr(254)
--For Check Box unchecked
    Formula = Chr(168)

Moved it to the Report Designer forum. If you are using code then specify what Report engine and version you are using and we can move it again.

Hi,
In your report footer, set it to create a new page before it is printed (In 'Section Expert', select the Report Footer -> 'Paging' tab -> Check 'New Page Before' checkbox). Throw your Terms & Conditions into the Report Footer section.
If you already have a Report Footer that you want to keep, just split the footer into two sections (Right-click the Report Footer section -> 'Insert Section Below') and follow the same procedure for the newly created section.

How to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata

Hi,
I want to ask for help on how to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata. My idea is to create a child region, a classic report and set the condition to never.
Then i will query the child report metadata from apex view and use it to create a custom report like using jquery jq-grid. Any idea how i can create a process that will use the child report
metadata? I dont know how i can create a process just like how apex work, how apex render report, coz i want it to be control using the standard apex report attribute. This plugin will
render according to the child report attribute.
Is there anybody here had ever done this?

Hi Nicolette,
Thanks for the reply. I know where to find the metadata, just asking for idea on how the rendering process will be.
Start from determining column heading, column order until finish rendering the report. The same way how apex
render the classic report.
Previously this imy my rendering process:
FUNCTION GETCOLUMN(P_REGION IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_REGION,
                     P_PLUGIN IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_PLUGIN,
                     P_VALUE IN VARCHAR2) RETURN SYS.DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB2 IS
    VSQLHANDLER     APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.T_SQL_HANDLER;
    VCOLCOUNT       NUMBER;
    VCOLNAMES       VARCHAR2(2000);
    VAJAXIDENTIFIER VARCHAR2(100);
    VPAGESIZE       TYPEATTR := P_REGION.ATTRIBUTE_04;
    VJSCODE         VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
    VSQLHANDLER := APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.GET_SQL_HANDLER(P_SQL_STATEMENT => 'select * from s_emp',
                                                    P_MIN_COLUMNS    => 1,
                                                    P_MAX_COLUMNS    => 999,
                                                    P_COMPONENT_NAME => P_REGION.ID);
    VCOLCOUNT := VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST.COUNT();
    FOR I IN 1 .. VCOLCOUNT LOOP
      VCOLNAMES := VCOLNAMES || '{name: "' ||
                   UPPER(VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST(I).COL_NAME) || '",';
    END LOOP;
    APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
    RETURN VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
      RAISE;
END GETCOLUMN;
So this is how i get the header for my report plugin. The same method is use to get the value / data for each column. This process is work. So now
i want to extend my plugin so that i will use all attributes from the child report to render my plugin. So the column header, column order, all will depend
on the child report. And the column display condition is set, it will also check the condition before render the column. Sounds like i want to reinvent
the normal apex rendering process but this is what i want to achieve.
I need help to find the correct logic for my render process. Don't want too much for starting, just want to render the plugin correctly, same with child report,
same columns alias, column ordering and column conditional display.
Thanks,
akulala

How can I disable the "create custom shape" window?

When I'm using the custom shape tool in CS6, it will often bring up a new window labeled "create custom shape". It's really disruptive and I'd like to know how I can disable it to prevent it from poping up.

OK I can now get the dialog window to pop up with a single click in a document with my mouse or intuos tablet. I had never seen that popup. Under normal conditions with the mouse I use and my old Intuos 2 now replaced with an Intuos 5 with default sensitivity setting I never saw that popup. Now that I know it exists and how to get it I can pop it up. Try changing your Wacom feel perhaps your getting extra single clicks.

You can create a calculated column using any Field (Presentation Column) in any Presentaion Table.
Eg: You want to calculate the difference between the Start and End Date of an Activity.
1. Simply Create a report on the Activities SA (Analytics or Real-time doe not matter here)
2. Add the required Coumns
3. To calculate the difference between the Start and End time.
- add the below fields from Activity
- Click the 'Fx' icon any field that you would like to display the calculated value in.
- Replace the existing formula in this field with TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, Activity."Created Date", Activity."Completed Date") - This is your calculated value
Activity ID Subject Created Date Completed Date Difference

Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports?

Hi Friends,
Can anyone send me a Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports? Pls help me. Thanks in Advance.
Vijay

It's also important to 'prep' the excel file prior to connecting to it.
Give the data tab a meaningful name
Make sure the column headers are unique and that every column has a header
Delete any blank tabs
If you have trouble with Excel changing the data type of a field (say, a social security number you want to be a string value rather than a number so you don't lose leading zero) an alternative would be to save the spreadsheet file as a CSV, create a schema.ini to specify the data types for each column (example below) and use the same steps to connect except instead of choosing Excel 8.0, scroll to the bottom and choose Text. You have to make sure the CSV file is in the same folder as the schema.ini file that defines the columns.
Schema.ini example:
200912PUSD.csv
ColNameHeader=True
Format=CSVDelimited
MaxScanRows=25
CharacterSet=OEM
Col1=SSN Char Width 9
Col2=LAST_NM Char Width 25
Col3=FIRST_NM Char Width 25
Col4=DOB Date
Col5=STDNT_ID Char Width 10
Col6=SORTKEY Char Width 10
Col7=SCHOOL_NM Char Width 30
Col8=OTHER_ID Integer
Col9=GRADE Char Width 2
The filename in the first line needs to have the [] brackets around it, but I couldn't get it to display in this forum correctly.

Custom grouping in crystal report

I have a requirement of creating a report off BEx query (BI 7.0).
I have database field which gives around 250 rows. Now with these 250 rows I need to create a custom grouping in crystal report having 2 groups and a detail.
Some info about database field: For ex: 'A', 'B' and 'C' are 3 sample rows of the database field. I want to arrange this in such a way that.
A will form Group 1 and B will form group 2 and it is sub group of Group 1. and C is part of Group 2.
A (group 1)
B (Group 2)
C.
But when I tried it it resulted in
A (group 1)
Others
Others (group1)
B(Group 2)
C.
In this method I was successful in creating report if there were only 2 levels. But when it comes to 3rd level i am facing the problem. Any solution from experts.

Hi Raghavendra,
You can create the superset group i.e Group A in ur illustration by choosing Insert -> Group from the pull-down menus and specifying the field name in the panel.
Next, in order to create the subset group i.e Group B and Group C you need to create a formula in the Formula Workshop-Formula Editor like the below syntax:
If <db_field_name> = "<value B>"
OR <db_field_name> = "<value C>"
then "Group B"
This formula can be used as your second group by choosing Insert -> Group from the pull-down menus and specifying this formula name in the panel.
Thanks,
Amogh.

How to create custom infotype for training and event management

hai freinds can any one tell me how to create custom infotype for training and event managment with following fields
PS No PA0000-> PERNR
Name - PA0001 -> ENAME
IS PS.No. PA0001-> PS no. of Immediate Superior
IS name PA0001 -> ENAME
thanx in advance
afzal

Hi,
Your question is not clear for me. Since it is a TEM infotype, it could be a PD infotype.
If you wish to create a PD infotype, use transaction PPCI to create the infotype.
But before that you need to create a structure HRInnnn (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.
If you wish to create a PA infotype, use transaction PM01 to create the infotype.
But before that you may be required to create a strcuture PSnnnn (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.

Srini
