Need To Create CR Reports From Excel

Post Author: ExcelOnly
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hello all:
We're living in spread sheet you know what here! I'm trying to help out in the interim by rewriting some of these in Crystal Reports (I've never used it before). Can someone please give me some basic steps? Right now I'm using the version of CR that ships with Visual Basic 6. I can bring up a spread sheet in CR but CR does not find any tables to select from.
Thanks in advance!

When I start up VB, I click on Project, and click add CR XI, (I have CR XI on this same machine) Right Click in one of the sections (Report header) select database, database expert, create new connection, database files, browse to your spreadsheet and select.

Creating a Report from Excel

I'm trying to create a report from an Excel spreadsheet and am having some issues with how Crystal is reading in the data. I have 7 fields that are all the same, I want them to be Numeric fields. However, when I import the Excel sheet as the data source, 4/7 of the fields import as string fields into Crystal. At first I didn't think this would be an issue, but some of the fields, and it doesn't seem to be consistently the "string" only or the "numeric" only fields, do not seem to be printing to the report at all - the space where they should be ends up blank. I have gone back to the Excel sheet several times to change the cell format to Numeric, but that has not helped. I also tried changing the format in Crystal, using ToNumeric(fieldname) or ToText(fieldname), and neither of those functions seem to work either.
Has anyone had this issue before or know how to fix it?

Hi Jeremy,
Which Crystal Report version are you using?
Have you applied any service pack for Crystal Reports?
Which Operating system are you using?
Is the issue is with all the report or single report?
For testing purpose:
-Create new excell sheet with two columns one is numeric and other one string.
-Create report using thie excell sheet.
-Preview report and export.
-Now print report
Are you getting same results?
Have you tried to print other document through that printer is it working properly.

Generating webi report from excel sheet.

Hi to all.
can I generate the web intelligence report by excel sheets in info view,if yes how can I generate them or any alternative solution exist to this..
please reply
thanks in advance

Hi Rajat,
Starting from BOXI R3.0 version, Rich client is used for accessing WebI reports other than Infoview. i.e. Similar to Desk top intelligence, it can be installed in any local machine and using it we can access WebI reports.
If you don't have Rich client then install it in your pc, then start creating WebI reports from excel using Rich client.
Navigation: Open rich client -> select local source(browse to your doucment i.e excel sheet) -> select required tab in excel(for the report) -> ok
Cheers,
Suresh Aluri.

This is my very simple inventory. On previous program I could sort by those items that did not have any figure in the row across. Then I could print a report of open inventory. Such as 149 Lidded Vase has not sales amount in the four colums across, thus it is open inventory. How can I capture all those items in one report?

BO v5.1 - creating a report from an oracle stored procedure

Post Author: newrochelle
CA Forum: Publishing
hi to all,
im using BO 5.1 and i need to create a document from an oracle stored procedure that have only one IN parameter and ten OUT parameters.
Creating the new report I selected the database connection then I choose the stored procedure name from the list, I inserted the value for the IN parameter and finally I click on Run button.
I got the following error message:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 38: :PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol
"," when expecting one of the following: : : ( - + case mod
new not null others <an identifier> : <a double-quoted
delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> avg : count current
exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance : execute forall
merge time timestamp interval date : <a string literal with
character set specification> : <a number> <a single-quoted SQL
string> pipe : <an alternatively-quoted string literal with
character set specification> : <an alternatively-q :-6550
it seems to be caused by the OUT parameters!
i leaved them without any value.
it's the first time that I used a stored procedure to create a BO report, but I think the OUT parameters are needed to do that, otherwise what data will be presented in the report???
can you help me?
please answear me ASAP.
Thank's in advance
Regards
Andrea

Problem Creating PDF Files from Excel 2007

I am running WinXP SP2, Office 2007, and Acrobat v8.1.2. I have an Excel workbook with multiple worksheets. When I was using Excel 2003 I could create a PDF file using five of the six worksheets. Since upgrading to Office 2007 I am unable to create PDF files from Excel. I can create PDF files from Word 2007. When I attempt to use the Acrobat Plug-in to create a PDF I get a message saying the file needs to be saved first. It then attempts to save the file to a strange, somewhat random, file name (e.g. A234G53). When I say OK Excel just hangs and is unresponsive. The way that I can clear it is to stop Excel using Task Manager. I have tried reinstalling Acrobat without successfully solving the problem. Any ideas on how I can diagnose and/or solve the problem?
Thanks.

Is your Excel file on a location outside your machine's disk? If so, try copying to local disk.
Does the Excel file have any protection applied to it? If so, try removing the protection
If these don't work, can you post a sample file that demonstrates the problem.

Create a report from scratch, add Table and Datasource Problem

Hi,
I'm using the latest Crystal Reports Runtime supplied for eclipse.
I want to create a report from scratch, add a Table and then add a ArrayList of Pojos as the Datasource.
But unfortunately depending on the ConnectionInfo I supply to the Table I get different errors.
I looked through the samples and see that I have to supply properties
like
"Database DLL", "crdb_javabeans.dll" and ConnectionInfo.setUserName("");
     ConnectionInfo.setPassword(null)
I looked through the forums and find different set of properties.
Actually because I am just working with Pojos I would have thougth that something like the following
would be sufficient:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
            doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
            doc.newDocument();
Table table = new Table();
table.setAlias("reportTable");
table.setName("reportTable");
doc.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
doc.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(myCoolection, myClass, "reportTable", "reportTable");
So could someone tell me the right/minimum Set of Properties to make a Table get connected to Pojos?

With XI Release 2, you can come quite close to creating from scratch:

I would like to execute an existing BW report from Excel (using VBA).

I would like to execute an existing BW report from Excel (using VBA) and download the results into Excel. I understand that there is an Excel Add-In which (I believe) should allow me to do this. I am an experienced user of Excel / VBA but I have virtually no experience with SAP. If someone could point me to any source of information or specific instructions I would be extremely appreciative. I've done multiple searches on the internet but everything I find seems to assume more knowledge of SAP and SAP acronyms than I possess.

Paul,
If your company (or your client's company) has an SAP license (I assume this is the case, since there would be no other reason for you to want to access an SAP system using Excel), there is a person in your company who can request an ID for you. It is called a SAP Service Marketplace userid, more commonly called an 'S' number. This person in your company is usually a Basis Administrator. Go to your SAP Basis team and ask them for access to Service Marketplace.
The common solution for your Excel analysis problem is to install the Bex Analyzer on your PC. You will need these same guys (Basis Team) to help you with getting the required SAP access, and to install the associated SAP software onto your PC.
In the meantime, here is some bedtime reading for you.

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
Can anyone here help me?

Vincent,
If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):

Yes, but it only has one generic Date column, no start date and end date. I can't use that twice in the prompt. Although I can specify it to be 'between', but I'm not sure I can pass values to both variables like that.
Currently I have used Campaign Start Date and Campaign End Date to enter values in calender format to the variables.
