How to stop to display the main report page header in the subreport!

Hello all,
I have an existed report that display the CR page header on every page of the report. Now I added another subreport into report footer without using link. How do I stop to display the main report page header and display the subreport in the new page with subreport header only? I really appreciate your time to help me out on this issue. Thanks.

Hi,
I tried to supress the page header with (onlastrecord and TotalpageCount > 1) condition, but the last page of main report without page header. I still like the page header display on last record, but not on the subreport only. How do I get it? Thanks in advance.

Not having to refresh the data in the main report but only in the subreport

Hi SAP,
I have a report that uses a stored procedure in the main report and uses regular database tables in the subreport. The data returned from the stored procedure reports information from the month-end database (a cutoff point from the previous month's numbers) while the subreport reports information from the live database. This report gets run everyday to show the changes in numbers from the live database. Obviously the numbers from the month-end database remainds static until the next month's cutoff database is created.
My problem is that everyday when I run the report, the data needs to refresh from both the stored procedure in the main report and the live database tables in the subreport. How can I leave the data returned from the stored procedure static or as is without refreshing the stored procedure returned data and just have the subreport data refresh itself? The stored procedure really puts a strain on the database and I would like to cut-out the time to process the report as well. Does anyone have any ideas?
Zack

Hi Zack,
Try the following under Report options.
1. Clear the check box of "Verify Stored Procedures on First Refresh" in the Main report.
2. Select the check box of "Verify on First Refresh" in the sub report.
Hope this helps.

How to use a subreport field as selection criteria for the main report

Dear All,
 I created a report with one subreport and im comparing information from both reports but i need to apply selection criteria in the main report using one of the fields in the subreport, the problem is that the subreport field doesnt appear in the select expert screen. By any chance, someone knows how make a subreport field be used by the select expert.
Thanks,
Martha Medrano

Dear Dom,
 I created the subreport table called IIM (748 items) in sql in the main report as you suggested with the below code:
SELECT "IIM"."IPROD", "IIM"."IDESC", "IIM"."IID"
FROM "S102F360"."BPCS405CDF"."IIM" "IIM"
WHERE NOT ("IIM"."IDESC" LIKE 'GEN%' OR "IIM"."IDESC" LIKE 'OBS%') AND "IIM"."IID"<>'IZ' AND "IIM"."IPROD" LIKE '3%'
and i have another table called ITEM_MASTER (3221 items):
SELECT "ITEM_MASTER"."ITEM_ID", "ITEM_MASTER"."DESCRIPTION"
FROM "WHSPRO"."dbo"."ITEM_MASTER" "ITEM_MASTER"
ORDER BY "ITEM_MASTER"."ITEM_ID"
and im trying to display all items in the ITEM_MASTER table that are not in the IIM file but i haven't been able to accomplish this, i am using as primary the ITEM_MASTER table with 'Inner Join' as Join Type, and '!=" as Link Type. Do you have any ideas on how can i display the requested items.
Thanks for your help

How to develp a subreport in the same page of the main report and processed when is called

SSRS 2012
Hi guys,
I am developing a report that includes a subreport.
therefore The report is made up by 2 sections:
1) Show a grid (several rows - may be 100 or more - and some columns). It represent high level info (Each row represent a specific item)
2) The user click on a Row/column (eg: Item1, to see details that must be shown as graph.
Here the problem: Searching info about SSRS reporting for subreports, drilldown, nested report and so on, no ones accomplish the requirements for the following reasons:
1) Subreports: NOT open in the same page. The user must <go back> to see detail for other items, such as Item 2....
2) Nested and DrillDown: Process data as the Main report (they are hidden and displayed after user action). In my case this leads to performance problem, because: if the main report has 200 objects (it means 200 graphs processed and hidden at the same time
for the main reports).
3) DrillThrough and Subreport: The detail data are processed only when the user select the interested item in the main report. Here the problem: the report is shown externally.
Please, it there any possibility to have a subreport (or anything else) to be executed in the same report as the main report and processed only when the user make action?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Fasttrack2,
According to your description, there is a main report with more than 100 rows of summary information, when users click the item of the row, the report need to jump to detail information shows as graph. The problem you are facing is that you are not sure
subreport, drilldown or drillthrough report should be used? You hope to set display detail information in the main report and keep high performance of report.
In Reporting Services, each subreport instance is a separate query execution and a separate report processing task. Subreports are recommended when there are just a few subreport instances. We should not use subreports inside a group when there are many
group instances, instead, consider using drillthrough reports. Drilldown reports process all data even when the data is first hidden. In order to improve the performance of the report, we can split drilldown reports into parameterized drillthrough reports,
because Drillthrough reports do not run until a user clicks the drillthrough link in the main report.
In this case, we can consider using drilldown or drillthrough report. In drilldown report, when we click a plus or minus button to expand or collapse a section of a report, the detail data will be displayed in place. By using drillthrough report, when we
click the link in the main report, the detail data will be displayed, we can come back to the main report by click return button in the drillthrough report.

Concatenate data in a Sub-report then copy in the Main report

Hello,
I'm using Crystal Report XI R2, I succeed to retrieve data as decribe in SAP Note 1212454 - How to Share Subreport Data with the Main Report
But when I hide section A, my values in section B are empty
So my answer is, how to retrieve dataset from the subreport group Footer Group concatenated and show it as a Header group data in the Main Report

I'm currently trying was is explained in:
1218324 - How to suppress a subreport but still evaluate and pass a shared variable
Symptom
In Crystal Reports (CR), subreports are frequently used to calculate and pass data to the main report. In many instances the business requirement is that the subreports not be visible to the end users. However, suppressing the subreport object or suppressing the section of the main report in which the subreport is located causes the shared variables to display incorrect data when passed to the main report.
How can you suppress a subreport but still pass a shared variable with the correct data?
Resolution
In Crystal Reports 9 and later, you can suppress a subreport but still pass a shared variable with the correct data to the main report by following the steps below:
In the Subreport
1. Remove all conditional suppression formatting formulas.
2. Delete all drawing objects such as boxes, lines, etc.
3. Suppress all remaining subreport objects such as database fields, formulas, etc.
4. For all sections that contain no objects, select the 'Suppress' option in the Section Expert.
5. For all sections that contain suppressed objects, select the 'Suppress Blank Section' option in the Section Expert.
In the Main Report
1. Select the 'Suppress Blank Subreport' option in the subreport Format Editor.
2. Remove all borders from the subreport object in the subreport 'Format Editor'.
3. Select the 'Suppress Blank Section' option in the 'Section Expert' for the section containing the subreport.
Background Information
When working with subreports, the 'Suppress Blank Section' option forces CR to evaluate the subreport contained within the section to determine if the final subreport output is blank. The 'Suppress' option allows CR to bypass the subreport completely, because the section is suppressed. By forcing Crystal Reports to evaluate the suppressed shared variable formulas in the subreport, the data can be correctly passed from the subreport to the main report even though the subreport is not visible to the end user.

How to print new main report page based on number of records in subreport?

Hi,
I've a main report which prints on a pre-printed stationary with 2 subreports in the detail section. The subreport prints multiple records. If there are more than 6 records in the subreports, a new page should be printed with all the contents of the main report and the subreports should continue with the remaining records. How can I do this? I've tried incrementing a shared variable counter in the subreport and accessed that variable in the detail section of the main report to check the counter and reset the counter to 0 if it exceeds 6. But this does not work. All the lines till it can hit page footer are printing on first page and the second page prints only the remaining subreport lines without the other details of the main report page.
The main report page uses a view which returns only 1 record. The subreport returns multiple records.
I would certainly appreciate if any one can provide a solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Ram

hi Ram,
sorry, i misunderstood exactly what you wanted.
let me get this straight...
1) if there's more than 6 records in the subreport then show only the first 6 records
2) then (if there's more than 6 records) do a new page after the subreport
3) then (if there's more than 6 records) show the subreport's remaining records and the rest of the report
let know if i've got it straight.
if that is correct, you will have received another sample report that does this. in total 3 subreports are used...one is a dummy report that adds up the number of records which is used later. there's more info on the report's design mode.
cheers,
jamie

How To Pass Data Between A Main Report and a Subreport

Hello,
I'm working with Crystal Reports Professional XI.
I have a main report with two date parameters: BeginDate of Date type and EndDate of Data type. The main report has no details being printed instead it's grouped by a formula field and displays a summary count at the group footer. I have a subreport that is not linkable to the main report. The subreport is grouped differently. It has no detail records being printed and displays a summary count at the group footer as well. The two reports are using the same tables with the same linking relationship.
   I created the same two date parameters in the subreport but this isn't right because when I run the report then I get four Date prompts: BeginDate and EndDate parameter from the main report and the BeginDate and EndDate parameter from the subreport.
I'm not dong something right here. What do I need to change in the reports so that l have the same record selecton being passed from the main report to the subreport record selection based on the BeginDate parameter and the End Date parameter from the main report? Right now, the subreport is selecting all the records in the tables specified.
Have a great day. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ting

Hi Jason,
   Thanks for replying to my posting. It's been awhile since I've worked on Crystal Reports so I'm getting reacquainted with sub-reports again.
    By linking the main report to the subreport by the BeginDate and BeginEnd parameters, will the date parameters be passed from the main report to the record selection for the subreport?
   Also by doing your approach when the user is prompted to run the report, will it display on the popup window four date parameters: the BeginDate and EndDate from the main report and underneath that the BeginDate and EndDate from the sub report? If so I'm trying to avoid that because it would be the same date range that I'm wanting to use for the main report and the subreport.
    I hope that made sense.
Thanks,
Ting

Visual Studio 2008 Crashes when I click on the [Main Report Preview] button

I started with Crystal Reports Basic that is bundled with Visual Studio, and then downloaded and installed the free trial of Crystal Reports Developer 2008, and the Visual Studio Integration Manager, the issue has not been affected.
After adding a crystal report to the project and using the wizard to set it up, and adding a Crystal Reports Viewer to a form I encountered these two (perhaps related) problems.
1)      When I click on the [Main Report Preview] button at the bottom of the report editor for Visual Studio crashes without any error message and needs to be restarted.
2)      When I set the viewer Report Source property to the report via the drop down the following error occurs:
a.       u201CUnable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please build the project and try again.u201D
b.      Building the project has no affect and the same error reoccurs repeatedly.

The original version of CR 2008 did not work with .NET 2008. If your version is 12.0.0.549, you need to apply SP0:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007528552008E/cr2008_sp0.zip
then I'd highly recommend SP 3:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
If your version is higher than 12.0.0.549, apply SP3 and try again.

Can a subreport select records based on values in the main report record?

Post Author: calvin
CA Forum: General
Perhaps my understanding of a subreport is incorrect as this is the first time I've used one, but it seems to me that the subreport should be able to use the values from the main report record in its (the subreport's) operations-but my subreport doesn't seem to be working that way.In my main report, I select a set of records from a 'request' table. I have a subreport in the detail section so the subreport is processed for each of the request records. That works, but I'm simply getting the same data reported multiple times. It's as if the subreport only uses the last request record rather than the current one. Stating it this way I can see that the problem might be evaluation time-it's processing the request records first, then processing the subreport, and only then printing everything. If this is correct then putting WhilePrintingRecords on the subreport should work-but the only way I know of to do that is in a formula. Can I call the subreport from a formula? Or am I totally off-track?Thanks.

Have you established a link(s) between your main report and subreport?When viewing the main report, click edit --> subreport links and link the 2 based on whatever values from the main report you want.

After changing a subreport I loose data in the main report.

Hi All,
I have a main report that has two parameter fields and two subreports linked to the parameter fields. The two subreports access the database and work fine separately. When I add the two subreports to the main report it works fine. As soon as I make a change to a subreport it works fine standalone. But as soon as I update the main report (reimport subreport) the subreport no longer returns data to the main report. To get the report to work after a change to a subreport I have to delete the subreport from main and then add it back in again.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am using Crystal Reports 10 and I'm totally at my wits end. I've been working with Crystal for about 5 years and this is the first time I've seen this. Maybe I'm missing something small but I just can't seem to find the answer.
Thanks for any help,
Jim

Jim:
I usually edit my subreports from within the main report. I right click the subreport and then click edit subreport. This eliminates the need to reimport the subreport. I've done a lot of work with subreports and this always works for me.
I hope this is not too late and helps you out.

How to add a sub report at the end of the main report whilst grouped

Hi!
I have a main report that is grouped by the Customers name and then details of transactions they did with the company.
I need to add a letter at the end of each group for each customer (With their name displayed in the letter). I tried adding a sub report in the report footer, but it only appears once at the end of the report, rather than at the end of each group for each customer.
How can I achieve the desired result?
Regards
Vik

Vik,
You are on the right track with the sub-report.
1. Create your letter in a separate report.
2. Add the Letter Report to your original report as a sub report in the group footer.
3. Set the report links on the "Group By" field.
This will give you a letter record for each report record with the same grouping as the main report.
Hope this helps,
Jason

How to activate a different sub-report for each row in the data set as main report page breaks on each row of data in the main dataset

I am going to try asking this same question a different way as I have yet to find a working solution to my problem. I have a main report and then 8 sub reports. My main report has one data set and returns one row of data per account number. One
of the fields in the main data set is called AccountProf. My main report displays one page per Account number and then calls a different sub report based on that account's AccountProf value. The sub reports take in the account number as a parameter
and get multiple rows of data to display that accounts usage formatted differntly for each AccountProf (hence the 8 different sub report.
So far I can figure out how to do everything but setting the visibility property of each sub-reports when I have multiple accounts. If I use the following expression for the visibility property on each sub report, it makes all the applicable sub report
for all the accounts requested visible at once:
=IIF(Fields!AccountProf.Value= "USE_PLUS_DMD",False,True)
*The value in bold USE_PLUS_DMD is different for each sub report.
Here is a look at what the main report look like:
Here is the main reports data set:

Hi JasonDWilson77,
According to your description, there is a main report and 8 sub reports in the report, you want to set visibility of sub reports, if no value is passed to the parameter of sub report, the sub report will not be displayed. If that is the case, please refer
to the following steps:
1. Create a new parameter named NewAccountNumber, set its data type the same as @AccountNumber, select Allow multiple values, set Visibility to be hidden, then set all available values to default values.
2. Right-click the first sub report and open Subreport Properties dialog box, click Parameters in left pane, set name to AccountNumber, then click (fx) button, type the expression like below:
=Parameters! NewAccountNumber(0)
3. Click Visibility in left pane, select Show or hide based on an expression, then click (fx) button and type the expression like below:
=IIF(InStr(Join(Parameters! AccountNumber.Value), Parameters!NewAccountNumber.Value(0))>0 , false,true)
4. Modify parameter of other sub reports like step2.
5. Set visibility of other sub reports like step3.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

How to make a common parameter for two subreports in the main report.

Hi,
I have a crystal report which has 2 subreports in it. Both the subreports have the same code and I need to create a parameter for Project Cost in both the subreports for filtering the data.
When i create the same parameter in both the subreports, i see two parameters with same name on my prompt page while refreshing the report. however I just want 1 parameter on my prompt page and data should get filtered in both the reports.
Can anyone please suggest something, How can I do that? is there a way for sharing same parameter between two subreports?
Thanks!
Neha.

hi Neha,
here's how to do this:
1) create a new parameter with the same name on the main report
2) right click on your first subreport and choose Change Subreport Links
3) in the Field to Link To list drag over your new main report parameter
4) open the Subreport Parameter Field to Use select menu and choose your subreport parameter
5) repeat steps for the 2nd subreport
now you'll only get prompted once.
cheers,

Crystal 6.0 : How to hide the Page footer and Page Header of the Main Report on the Sub report.

Post Author: pranay
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi ,
I have a Main report and a Sub report . When a subreport spans across multiple pages , the page header and page footer of the main report gets displayed along with it . I want to hide the Page Footer and Page Header of the main report when a sub report is displayed . Is there any way it could be acheived in Crystal Report 6.0.

I am assuming you are talking about the JSControl dropdown menu navigation. The easiest way to hide Community pages is to disable the Below Banner View for that navigation scheme, although it also disables the Subcommunties, Related Communities and Go up to Parent Community links. If you still want these in below the banner menu you could not display Community Pages in the "In this Community" tab and only leave the "Community Members and Knowledge Directly" link in there.
You would think that it would be better to remove the "In this Community" tab althogether but it is tricky to remove it due to the fact that there needs to be a default horizontal menu displayed all the time. Not all Communities will have a Subcommunities or Related Communities tab so these communities would not display any below banner menus at all if there is no "In this Community" tab, which could be confusing.

How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?

How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?Please eloberate with example if possible!Thanks... 

You can do a couple of things - one would be to pass the information using the data linking expert. Right click on the subreport, choose 'Change Subreport Links' and select the field(s) you are wanting to pass to the subreport. CRW will build parameters and a record selection formula for you in the subreport, and if that's what you want, then great. But you can also remove the selection formula from the subreport and work with the parameter fields in the subreport however you would like.Alternatively, you can look to passing Shared variables back and forth from the main and subreport. this link talks about the method to do this: http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/251
