Hyperlink Formula Correction

Hi,
I use BOXI r2 sp4.
I have a crosstab report with 3 tabs. There is a prompt on the Billing Year Month dimension which is based on "between".
I would like to hyperlink from the Summary Tab to the Detail for One Server Tab.
I'm receiving an error message in my hyperlink formula listed below. The error message says, "Unrecognized input "\" at position 359.
Will someone please correct it?
>=If([Item]=" ";"<a href=\"https://reporting.corporate.ge.com/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?

Hi ,
Can you try this please

Crystal Report 2008 / JavaScript hyperlink formula/ Issue

Hi,
We've developed the Crystal Report using the Crystal Reports 2008 software & integrated it in asp.net web page and also deployed in IIS web server. We have a requirement like opening the sub report in a new window. We have integrated the sub report also in a asp.net web page & passing the parameters in URL & acheived it..
For the above, we have used JavaScript code like "javascript:window.open('SubReport.aspx','...','..' ...)" in the hyperlink formula field of main report. It works fine while running using VS 2005 in the development box.
But in production serer (Windows 2003 server), the JS URL in the formula field is not working properly. Instead , it is rendered as a drill down JS url. Like javascript:bobj.event.publish('drilldown',........)
Can you please help us to resolve this issue?
(OR) Do we have any other approach to open the web page in new window from CR (same like a popup window)
Thanks

I understand that the point of this is to allow the URL link to open the Subreport.aspx page in a new window. This can be problematic due to cross-site scripting restrictions. A few years ago we found that it was possible for report writers to add JavaScript to reports. This isn't a problem if the report writers are honest and nice. However, it is possible for JavaScript to be malicious so that ability to include JavaScript was turned off when the app uses our webform viewers. There may be a way to turn it off in the registry though. This is documented for CR XI r2 [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do].
I am not sure if this reg key works for the .NET viewer, though the note specifies DHTML and .NET InfoView, so CR should work also. As you are using CR 2008, I suspect the key would be:
HKLMSoftwareBusiness ObjectsSuite 12.0Crystal Reports
You will most likely have to add the Export folder, then add the HTML folder, then add the EncodeHTMLForSingleLineFieldObjects and set it to "no".
Please note that this is a hack / workaround found for CR XI r2. The functionality you are looking to exploit was removed for a reason. As such if the above does not work for CR 2008, it will not be considered to be a "bug" and we will not be able to send this to R&D for a resolution.

I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation. It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0. How can I get this to work?

Oaky, at least we got that far. Next step is to determine if all those "numbers" are really numbers. Changing the format to "number" doesn't necessarily change the string to a number. The string has to be in the form of a number. Some may appear to you and me as numbers but will not turn into "numbers" when you change the formatting from Text to Number. Unless you've manually formatted the cells to be right justified, one way to tell if it is text or a number is the justification. Text will be justified to the left, numbers will be justified to the right.
Here are some that will remain as strings:
+123
123 with a space after it.

Getting hyperlink formula from field objects.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to extend the export to .pdf functionality in order to include hyperlinks. I have already ran some proof of concept programs, and I'm able to export to .pdf and add a hyperlink to a rectangular area of an existing .pdf document. The only thing left is to be able to pull the information regarding field location, size and hyperlink from the report.
So, that's my question; How do I loop through the fields of an existing crystal report, check for hyperlink formula field, then get the link text/field position and size?
I know that I'm asking for a lot here... I don't need full code samples, just some hints where to start... for example:
- Where do I find the collection of generated data field objects?
- Where do I find the hyperlink text on those objects?
Thanks, in advance, for any help that you may be able to offer.
- Scott

Hi Scott,
The first place I go is to the .NET Object browser. You have to add all of the CR Assemblies to get all of the info but it's a great place to start:
Just search on "hyperlink" and you get this first hit and a few more:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.ViewerObjectModel.ReportObjectInstance.HyperLink
CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.ObjectInfo.Hyperlink
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ISCRObjectFormat.HyperlinkText
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ISCRObjectFormat.HyperlinkType
Here's what I typically include in my projects for testing:
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommonControls;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommLayer;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommonObjectModel;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ObjectFactory;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportSource;
using CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms;
Then go to help.sap.com and get the latest SDK Help files. Or if you are using VS 2010 then use the local install of it.
Thank you

Variance Formula Correction

Hi folks,
I use BOXI r2 sp 4. I need to build a crosstab report with the following requirements:
1) Create a variance report structure
2) End user should select two periods to compare (i.e. 1Q08 vs 1q09),
3) The report should reflect the variance of the most recent period (a) compared to the older period (b), if a is greater than b, then the variance (difference) should be a positive number (a minus b = var),
4) A column should be created to reflect the dollar variance
5) Another column for the percentage change (var divided by b) and show one decimal place on the percentage (i.e. 10.1%)
6) There are two period prompts Billing Year Month using OR
7) There is one Business Segment prompt In List
The first 6 requirements can be met with 1 query and it returns the correct variance and percentage change.
In order to add the 7th requirement, I added another query but the variance and percentage change are no longer correct.
The queries come from the same universe and folders thereof.
Can someone please correct this formula and explain what I am doing wrong?
7 Requirements: INCORRECT
>=[FABR BYM].[Cost of Service] Where ([FABR BYM].[Billing Year Month] = UserResponse("Enter Recent Billing Year Month:")) - [FABR BYM].[Cost of Service] Where ([FABR BYM].[Billing Year Month]=UserResponse("Enter Older Billing Year Month:"))
6 Requirements: CORRECT

ASO Formula Correction

Hi,
Trying to convert a BSO formula to an ASO but getting an error like
Error(1260052) - Syntax error in input MDX query on line 4 at token 'CASE' Membername1. could you please correct this formula. Thanks, UB
BSO formula:
"Membername1"
(IF (@ISMBR (@IDESCENDANTS (Member5))) "Membername1" = Membername2/52*13*"Membername3"*-1;
ELSEIF (@ISMBR (@IDESCENDANTS (Member6))) "Membername1" = Membername4/52*13*"Membername3"*-1;
ENDIF;)
Converted the above BSO formula to below ASO one:
CASE WHEN IS([Year].CurrentMember, [Member5]) THEN
[Membername2] / 52*13* [Membername3] *-1]
CASE WHEN IS([Year].CurrentMember, [Member6]) THEN
[Membername4] / 52*13* [Membername3] *-1
END

You only need one CASE statement, the format should be
CASE
WHEN IS(......) THEN
WHEN IS(.....) THEN
END
Cheers

Help getting a formula correct

Help please, essentially I want to know how to use the formula editor to calculate a number like 6^0.5
Specifically, I want to insert a number (let's say it's in cell B5) and have it raised to power 0.5. Obviously using Insert\Formula\More functions\POWER but I cannot get the syntax right. Even better, let's say I am getting the 0.5 as a variable in cell B6.
The manual and Help menu could do with giving one or two specific examples like this beyond the simple ones they cover.
Thanks

Hello
For years spreadsheets are using the ^char as the power operator.
So you may also use the shorter formulas:
=B6^0.5
=B6^B7

Hyperlink using formula in Crystal Reports 8.5

Is there a way to create hyperlink formula to link to nth page in the report (in the exported pdf file)
for example:
i want to created a link to a text and when clicked on the link it should take me to page 8 in the same report.
Thanks
-Vivek

Hi Navin
Thank you so much for your response.
Is it particular to any one single report or all the reports which contain hyperlink.
basically it's just one report that should have filer names and pages numbers in the first page followed by the detailed report of all filers
Also let us know to what type you are linking to, Is it any email address else a website or a file type.
The table of contents is loaded from a sub report which is connected to a temporarty table with filer names and page numbers.
it's a database field

I've responded to you in another thread too. Reposting here for others.
You are correct. A pre-formatted top row just applies the formatting to make the urls appear clickable but are not truly clickable. Also, using a derived column transformation to form the HYPERLINK formula string just puts it as normal text.
I've written a blog post with a workaround. Could you see if that suffice your requirement?

Export to .PDF, hyperlinks issue

Hello,
I've been working with Crystal Reports 2008, and so far it all seems to be going well. There is only one issue that I've come across, and I was hoping for some direction.
For some reason, when I export my form to .PDF, all hyperlinks are removed... I've found that I can export to RTF, then to .PDF, but this sometimes causes some formatting issues.
Is there any way for crystal reports to keep their hyperlinks when exporting to .PDF?
- Scott

Hi, thanks for your reply,
You know, I've never tried it just out of Crystal Reports 2008 until now. I ran the report, then in the preview tab, I clicked on the field that had the hyperlink formula in it...
Clicking it just selected the textbox. I tried the same thing in CR2008 Viewer, with no success. The odd thing is that, if I export the report to rtf, excel, word, html, etc. the hyperlinks are there. It's just not there in the viewer, or in the exported .PDF.
I'll explain how I did the hyperlink, and hopefully you can tell me whether I'm doing something wrong.
I have a field in our database with the full path to the document that I want to link to. The path is similar to
xx.x.xx.xx\subfolder\subfolder\filename.PDF. This path will work so long as the report is being viewed on a PC connected to our local network (which it is).
Then, in my query, I select the path as one of the database fields. If I just put the field into a text-box, the value is printed correctly, so my query is grabbing the correct path.
Then, on the text-field that I want, I right click, select 'Format Text...' and select the 'Hyperlink' tab. Then I set the hyperlink type to 'A file', and under hyperlink information, I select the formula button. I then bind the formula to the field with the path in it, save changes and retrun to my form.
Within CR2008, it doesn't look like there are any hyperlinks, and clicking the field just selects the text. If I export it to .rtf, excel, word, html, etc. the link is there, and it works fine. As I've said, it's just the CR2008 viewer and exported .PDF files where the hyperlink doesn't appear.
Now, on a whim, I decided to just type the path into the 'file path:' field in the hyperlink tab. Doing this manually allows the link to be clicked in CR2008, but I still can't get the exported .PDF file to recognize the hyperlink. Even if setting the static path allowed my links to be maintained in an exported .PDF, I need the Path to be set based upon the field in our database.
So, that's where I am now. If you can see something I've done wrong, or something that I haven't tried, please let me know. This is the only thing that I've come across that is causing me any trouble so far. I would appreciate any help that anyone could offer, Thanks.

Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION

“594” MB
“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File
Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
- When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
“ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
“View Objects…”
Here’s a list of all the program files that appear:

Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

Pass the results from a selection formula to the default values for a parameter field

Post Author: kevans
CA Forum: General
Crystal 10 u2013 SQL 2000
I want to create a parameter field that will display all of our IT Departments so the end user can select the one they want to run the report against, such as IT-Security, IT-Network, etc. about 40 in all. BUT I donu2019t want this to be a static list where I type in all 40 depts in the default list, I was hoping I could do something more dynamic such a formula field that says u201C if {group.name startswith u2018ITu2019 then {group.name}u201D and then have the parameter field pull from this source.
Iu2019m sure this has been answered in a previous post but Iu2019m not finding it. I see stuff on creating a record selection formula such as u2018if {?group} like u2018IT-Secur*u2019 thenu2026u201D but this leaves too much room for error if people donu2019t type the name correctly. Maybe Iu2019m not using the record selection formula correctly? Sorry if I offend anyone but I just upgraded from 8 to 10 and thought for sure this option would be in 10, perhaps built right into the parameter default value page where you can place in select criteria but NOTHING has changed.

Post Author: sharonmtowler
CA Forum: General
if you are creating the parameters in the rpt file, it will only pull values you enter, or directly from the database
in the record selection you can do something like this, so if they only enter the first 2 characters it should pick up only the IT etc.
(if eft(,2)={?parameter} then true else ={?parameter})

Download to Data option for Hyperlinks on Reports

Hi,
There is a column called OrderNumber which will display its values in the form of hyperlink. On Master Report Page, it is taken from a fact called Orders.OrderNumber which when clicked leads to Details Report on a new window where the value need to be passed to another factOrderDetails.OrderNumber. This was only possible by using Dashboard Url in the column formula field of Order Number. The problem is with Download Data option which shows hyperlink formula instead of value in that column.So the original value is lost. This doesnt happen when it is downloaded to Excel or Downloaded to Excel 2000.
Is there any possibility that when using Download to Data, the hyperlinks shows it values rather than formula of the hyperlink.

Think about why Excel was created. In the old days, you could only pass data files in their simplest form and applications were need to parse the data. Text files, csv files, etc. were without format. Just data. Excel came along because people wanted all the formatting to go along with it, including being able to know what a hyperlink is. The files are larger because they include more information about the source file. Today, when passing Excel files are too large to do, one option that may still be available is to download in a csv file for the very reason that the file is smaller. It is smaller because you don't get any fancy stuff like nice formatting. But that is why your hyperlinks aren't coming across either.
If you want the hyperlinks, use Excel.

Problem with combination of two working query formulas

Hey guys,
I have a problem in building a formula correctly with the BEx formula logic. I am sure, you can help me with this.
Right now I have four columns in my query. The first column (Actual) displays actual amounts either in local (10) or reporting (25) currency type depending on the optional selection either in the variable screen or in the free characteristics filter. The second column (Actual with Budget exch. rate) always shows the actual amounts with the budget exchange rate of the reporting currency. The third column (Budget) is build in the same way as the first column, but shows budget amount data. In the fourth column (Variance) the variance between budget and actual data should be calculated, but here lies the problem:
The formula should differentiate the chosen columns for the calculation depending on what currency type is selected either from the optional variable selection before the query is executed or from the free characteristics filter. So if I select currency type 10 it should calculate the variance by subtracting the budget column from the first column, but if I select currency type 25 it should subtract the budget columng from the second column.
I have implemented a formula which works already, but not for both selection possibilities (variable screen or free characteristics filter). Either the formula works when I input a currency type in the variable selection screen or when I select a filter value in the free characteristics filter. However, I need to combine both formulas in one working formula so that the user can choose if he wants to filter the currency already in the variable screen in the beginning or in the filter after query execution. Here are the two formulas which I need to get combined into one formula:
Used Variables:
VScreen_Selection --> value from the key of the optional Currency Type Variable from the Variable Selection Screen
Filter_Selection: --> value from the key of the InfoObject Currency Type
Formula for Variable Screen Selection:
(VScreen_Selection == 10) * (Budget - Actual) + (VScreen_Selection == 25) * (Budget - Actual with Budget exch. rate)
Formula for Free Characteristics Filter Selection:
(Filter_Selection == 10) * (Budget - Actual) + (Filter_Selection == 25) * (Budget - Actual with Budget exch. rate)
Can you help me to combine both Formulas? I can't believe that this is too difficult. Many Thanks in advance.
Best Greets,
Norbert

Hello.
Did you try this:
