Multiple Column Report Question

Post Author: LCS213
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I'm creating a student transcript report that has multiple columns, and is three groups deep. The first two groups need to be in a columnar layout. However, I'd like the third group to contain a subreport that spans the width of the entire page.
Are there any options within Crystal XI to do this? I know in the Section Expert, i can format the detail level with multiple columns, and on the Layout tab, I can select "Format Groups with multiple columns". But that seems like it either formats ALL groups or NO groups. Am I mistaken? Is there a workaround I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!

Hi Dan,
According to your description, we are not clear about the “6 sections for each Additional task”. Do you mean six data records? If so, based on my understanding, there are three groups and eighteen records in your report. You want to make those records appear
on eighteen separated pages, right?
In Reporting Service, we can add a page break to groups within data regions to control the amount of information on each page. In your scenario, you should add page break to group “Sub task”, group “Additional Task” and details. As we tested in our environment,
add page break to these records, the report appears in eighteen pages. Please refer to steps below:
1.On Group Properties of Details1, choose “Between each instance of a group” option on Page Breaks page. Please refer to screenshot below:
Choose same option on Group Properties for group “Month” and “Name”.
2.Click drop-down button next to Column Groups, then choose Advanced Mode.
3.Click on Static under Row Groups, set RepeatOnNewPage as True in Tablix Member Properties.
4.Click Preview, the results before and after adding page break look like below:
If you still have any question, please post some detail information or screenshot about the report design you expect.

Multiple column report

Hi,I am designing a 3 column crystal report. Each column can hold 30 records. I would like the first 30 records printed straight down the 1st column and the 31 record printed on the 2nd column. I can't find a way to tell CR to do so. Thanks for any help.Joy Liaw

this is what I did when I needed multi culumns,
go to section expert on Detail section. on common tab,
at end of list is a chec for multiple columns, after that is checked a new tab is displayed,called layout, from there set up your columns.

Multiple page report question

My client would like to run a report by project. A project can have multiple sub-tasks and each sub-task can have additional tasks. Each additional task has 6 sections on the report which all need to be separated by page breaks. The report
need to separated by the additional tasks so in the example below I would have 18 pages of reports, grouped by Sub task and Additional task. How do I group this report to make it work correctly? Would sub-reports work better - still having trouble
with the grouping issue as well on those.
Project
         Sub task 1
                      Additional Task1
                      Additional Task 2
         Sub Task 2
                      Additional Task 1

Is there a way to have multiple columns of questions on my form?

I'm trying to find if there is a way to have a segment of my form in a two column format because I have a lot of one line questions to ask (of which many will be left blank) and I don't want to overwhelm our clients with an excessive amount of scrolling.
The format I am looking for would be roughly like this:
Item One      [text input]        Item Five      [text input]
Item Two     [text input]        Item Six        [text input]
Item Three   [text input]        Item Seven    [text input]
Item Four     [text input]        Item Eight     [text input]

That's excellent news! Everything else about Forms Central is perfectly intuitive and just what we need. Once the multi-column capability is out, I think we will be set for a long time to come.

Multi Column Report - printing Across and then Down

Is there any setup option for a multi column report to go across and then down instead of down & across as a default. The problem I am experiencing is that some where and some how the two columns are not horizontally aligned properly - neither in the
report view nor in the exported PDF.
The added difficulty is the problems created by this misaligned labels while printing on a custom paper that is smaller in size. Though I can setup the custom dimensions and get the desired 4x2 labels on the screen the printing doesn't sit in proper places
on a preformatted paper.
Is there any solution(s). Thanks in advance.

Hi Christal,
Based on my understanding, you want to make multi columns go across then down in the report.
For your requirement, on query level, we should add an additional field(DisplayColumn) in the dataset, the field indicates the column in which the corresponding records will display. When designing a report, we add a group in the report, then insert some
tablixes into the detail row. Within the nested tablix, we specify filter expression based on the value of DisplayColumn field. So that we can decide which data should display on which column. When previewing the report, you can find the report displays like
newsletter-style. Besides, if we design the report like this, the report can supports all renders. For detail information about how to design the report step by step, please refer to this article:
Creating Multiple-Column Reports [SSRS] .
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Multi Columns Report Switch replacement

Hi, I have a multiple columns report with 2 fix columns and 10 selectable ones.
I'm selecting the columns with a checklistbox an it works
The Header is easy just have to put "=Parameters!Columns.Label(0-10)" as an expression in each columns heading
The hard part that I'm not getting is that I'm currently using a Switch statement in the fields values and I want to put it into Custom Code.
Why Custom Code is that I was ask to insert 15 other fields value in my selection list. I just don't want to be ask to add more fields x 10 columns.
Here's part of my Switch, I have 10 of them (0-10) for each columns.
=Switch(Parameters!Columns.Value(0)="Phone"
,Fields!Phone.Value,
Parameters!Columns.Value(0)="FirstTime"
,SSRS.Utility.TimeFromMilliSeconds(Fields!RingTime.Value),
Parameters!Columns.Value(0)="ProcessTime"
,SSRS.Utility.TimeFromMilliSeconds(Fields!ProcessTime.Value),
Parameters!Columns.Value(0)="TalkTime"
,SSRS.Utility.TimeFromMilliSeconds(Fields!TalkTime.Value),
Parameters!Columns.Value(0)="Transferred"
,Fields!Transferred.Value)
Notes that some of the fields are FIELDS and others are call in function (assembly's)
Here's one of my many variation of custom code
Public Shared Function FixColumns(Byref Colonne as String) As String
SELECT CASE Colonne
CASE "Phone"
Return "Fields!Phone.Value"
CASE "FirstTime"
Return "SSRS.Utility.TimeFromMilliSeconds(Fields!RingTime.Value)"
END SELECT
End Function
in the value columns fields
=CODE.Fixcolumns(Parameters!Columns.Label(0))
I would greatly appreciate any help
Denis B.

Hi Denis B,
If I understand correctly, you want to use custom code replace Switch expression in your report. Please refer to the following custom code:
Public Shared Function FixColumns(Byref Colonne as String, A as String, B as String, …… , F AS String) as String
Select Case Colonne
Case "Phone"
Return A
Case "FirstTime"
Return B
Case Else
Return F
End Select
End Function
Then, we can use following expression to calculate the values:
=CODE.Fixcolumns(Parameters!Columns.Label(0), Fields!Phone.Value, SSRS.Utility.TimeFromMilliSeconds(Fields!RingTime.Value), …… , Fields!Transferred.Value)
As per my understanding, Return Statement in a Function, Get, or Operator must return a value, we cannot return an expression via custom code. So, we use this fields or assembly as a variable in the custom code.
Hope this helps.

Crystal Report multiple columns

I'm having trouble with Crystal Report's multiple columns in the detail section.
The details section, the multiple columns is checked then the printing direction is across - down. Since the form I am using is a pre-printed form, by estimation it can only allow at best 30 records in one page, that is 15 in the 1st half of the column and another 15 records on the next. For visual:
Invoice No    Invoice Date        invoice total                                               Invoice No    Invoice Date        invoice total
1                                                                                16
2                                                                                17
3                                                                                .
.                                                                                28
14                                                                                29
15                                                                                30
For some reason there is this giant space after the last set of rows before it prints out the page footer. This giant blank section disrupts the layout of the page footer section.
Here are some info on the details section as configuration is involved:
Format with Multiple Columns - checked
In Paging: New Page after 30 visible Records
In Layout: Width: 3.5 in       Height: 0.0 in
                 Horizontal: 0.0 in      Vertical: 0.0 in
Printing Direction: Across-Down
Anyone knows how to suppress it or have the page footer move upwards?
P.S To see actual pre-printed form, please download this [http://www.mediafire.com/i/?csu0q75mjynys2k]
Edited by: Khristine Angelei Basilla on Mar 1, 2012 8:34 AM

Now why didn't I try that out. Actually, initial plan was 2 subreports.
So when I added the second subreport in the group footer section, it only prints the details on the last page, which should not be the case as I need to be printed on all pages.
I'll test it out. I'll post an update soon.
Thanks.

What could be causing my multiple response survey question to show a non-response in LMS report?

I have a 10 question survey that has been running fine and providing accurate responses in reports generated from my LMS. I made a property change to a multiple response type question that is now causing the reports to show a date/time (2003-01-01 18:00:00) response instead of the actual multiple responses the user made. The change I made to the question was to change the "Numbers property from" [ a), b), c) ] to [ 1), 2), 3) ]. This property change did not affect the reported responses for the single response questions, only the multi-response. This problem occured Using Captivate 4. I then tried using the same properties in Captivate 5.5 thinking it was a bug in CP4, but got the same results. Has anyone else run into this issue? I'm going to bring this to the attention of my LMS provider, but want to make sure CP is clean first.
Thanks,
Dave

First things first. I am not an LMS expert, so this is not about troubleshooting.
However, to ensure that your course works fine on a SCORM-compliant LMS, you can upload it to cloud.scorm.com and test it out. If the course works fine there, rest assured that it will work fine on any SCORM-compliant LMS. If your LMS team comes back with an issue after this, you can counter them with this evidence that the problem is with the LMS and not your course.

Multiple Column Header in Report (BEx and Web Reporting)

Hi All,
 I've a requirement where my reports is having multiple column header.
 To be precise the column header is further divided into many sub-columns (upto 4 levels).
Structure cannot help in this case since we have more than 2 such columns and we are using web reporting as well.
Here is how it looks
 Header-A
Header-B1 | Header-B2 | Header-B3 | Header-Bn
Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2 |Hdr-D1 |Hdr-D2 |Hdr-E1 |Hdr-E2 |Hdr-Fn..
The above is a sample header structure.
This report will be a Web Based report and I need to know whether its possible to do it in BEx also.
We are not using Crystal Reports.
If there is any document related to this, please mail to
[email protected]
Thanks & Regards,
Chandran Ganesan

Hi Chandran,
I hope i am getting your problem right.
If your
Header-B1 | Header-B2 | Header-B3 | Header-Bn
Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2 |Hdr-D1 |Hdr-D2 |Hdr-E1 |Hdr-E2 |Hdr-Fn..
are a set of key figures, then there is an option.
For example:
You drag Header-B1,Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2
into column section.Right click on Hdr-C1, Hdr-C2 and select down under. So your Hdr-C1, Hdr-C2 will be under
Header-B1.
Like wise drag Header-B2,Hdr-D1,Hdr-D2
Right click on Hdr-D1,Hdr-D2 and say Down under and these two will fit below Header-B2.
You can repeat the above steps for Header-B3... Header-Bn
The output will be same as the one you have specified above.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Parth.

Fill multiple columns of the report at once ???

I have been told that when coding a Report, there is some way to fill multiple columns of the report at once.
Instead of
select
field1,
field2....
You could do
<????> filling field 1 and 2
My source was vague as to what kind of thing it would be that could give a value to more than one column at one time.
Can anyone help me here? Sorry to not have any more specifics.
Thanks, Wayne

You can have placeholder columns and assign the output of your select statement to the place holder columns.

APEX Interactive Report - sum multiple columns table1 X with table2 value

I have a challenge in oracle apex, were i want to sum multiple columns to give 3 extra rows namely points, Score, %score. There are more columns but chose only few for now.
Below is an example structure of my data:
Town | Sector | Outside| Inside |Available|Price
Roy-----Formal----0----------0----------1------0
Kobus Formal--0 ---------0--------- 1------0
Wika ---Formal----0----------0--------- 1------0
Mevo----Formal----1----------1---------1------0
Hoch----Formal----1----------1---------1-------1
Points--------------2----------2----------5-------1
Score-------------10---------10---------10------10
%score-----------20---------20---------50------10
Each column has a constant weighting (which serves as a factor and it can change depending on the areas) in this case the weighting for this areas are the ones in the first row for the sector Formal:
Sector |Outside| Inside |Available|Price
Formal----1----------1 ----------1-----1
Informal--1----------0 ----------2-----1
I tried using the aggregate sum function in apex but it wont work since i need the factor in the other table. Which is where my challenge started
To compute the rows below the report:
points = sum per column * weighting factor per column
Score = sum of no of shops visited (in this case its 5) * weighting factor per column
% score = points/Score * 100
The report should display as described above. With the new computed rows below.
I kindly ask anyone to assist me with this challenge as i tried searchin on the internet for solutions but havent come across any.
Thanks a lot for your support in advance!!

It would be much easier to do this in a standard report where you've complete control over the query SQL and the report structure.
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

Multiple Columns in sub-report

Post Author: Marcotte
CA Forum: General
I am creating an Inventory Disposition form. At the top of the report, I want to list all of the Reason Codes the user may select. There are currently 30 Reason Codes, but this could grow in the future. Therefore, it is impractical to list all the the Reason Codes in one column. I would like to list them in two columns at the top of my report (perhaps as a sub-report in the main Report Header).
I know how to create a multi-column report via the Section Expert, however what I can't figure out is how to force it to start the second column after a pre-set number of records or inches. Here's the layout of the report I'm looking for:
What happens is that it lists all 30 records in the first column because it doesn't reach a page break. How do I insert a page break into a report?
There is a Reason Code Group field in the table which I can use to break the Codes into smaller groups (there are about 6 groups), if that helps.

Aha! "Across Then Down", under the Layout Tab.

Multiple columns per report page

I've created a simple one-column report and would like to display more than one column per page (reducing the # of pages to scroll through). This would seem to be a simple task yet I'm having difficulty locating the supporting documentation. I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Hi there Otto... If I understand you correctly, you might need to look into the LEAD function.
Here's an example:
with table1 as
(SELECT ROWNUM rn, 'Line ' || ROWNUM text
FROM all_objects
WHERE ROWNUM <= 10)
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT rn, text AS text_col1,
LEAD (text, 1) OVER (ORDER BY rn) AS text_col2,
LEAD (text, 2) OVER (ORDER BY rn) AS text_col3
FROM table1)
WHERE MOD (rn, 3) = 1
outputs
RN,TEXT_COL1,TEXT_COL2,TEXT_COL3
1,Line 1,Line 2,Line 3
4,Line 4,Line 5,Line 6
7,Line 7,Line 8,Line 9
10,Line 10
Cheers,
Vidar
