Pass along Crystal Report file name on export to Excel

Hello, I am using Crystal Reports 10 and create numerous Crystal reports, all of which end up being exported out to Excel. Is there a way to export the name of the Report or its file name out to Excel as well? I work with so many reports that I can't always trace back the Excel version of the report back to its Crystal report roots.
Thank you.

Hi
In field explorer Use Special Field called File Path and Name drag and place it in Report Header
If you want just the report Name then use Report Title.
Cheers

Overwrite crystal report file name with new version but keep history

I am writing a Crystal Reports .NET SDK in C# code to upload a crystal report files from its destination to CMC folder on BO XI R2 Platform.
On "Upload Button" click_event, validate the two check boxes controls named "Keep History", and "Remove History". Once "Keep History" check box is selected, check If the SAME report file name exists in the same destination CMC folder, if Yes, overwrite it BUT Keep the History and all its associated objects like "recurring objects". If "Remove History" is selected, then remove the existing report and upload the new report file name.
Please provide me some codes on how to do this task. This is definitely a "WIN" - "WIN" effort and contribution to my Team Goals.
P.S. This is a similar scenario when you are uploading report on BO Enterprise R2 CMC.
When Uploading a new report to a folder but same report file name exists, the BO System will promt message "Report File Name" already exists. Do you want to Overwrite it?" If Yes, then system will overwrite the file but it will keep the history and recurring objects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bien

Crystal Report Viewer | Issue Default Exporting to Excel

hi,
if any 1 of the column is empty in the report then when exported to the excel the null valued column value is printed by the next column.
For example if i have columns such as A,B,C and B has null values, then B is replaced by c.
Is this a bug?
Thanks and regards,
Dhinesh B

Editable RTF, because of the static nature of header and footer information, has restrictions on field display mapping Crystal page numbering to Word page numbering.
RTF export does not, since header and footer information is not placed in header and footer, but in the body itself as static text.

Crystal Reports XI: formatting and exporting to Excel (VB 6)

Hi.
I have a VERY simple report that all I want it to do is display the numbers from a table EXACTLY as formatted and be able to export them to Excel, as NUMBER (not STRINGS).
Example:
My fields may contains the following values in a single column:
45.02
0.04454
215
And I want them to be displayed as entered in the source table.
Initially, to maintain the formatting, I set the field's data type to a STRING.
The problem is that when I then export the data to Excel, all the numerical values are treated as TEXT and we need to "Convert Text to Numbers".
When I changed the field's data type to a DOUBLE, the data in the table is correct, but the report formats all the numbers in one way. I want to be able to retain the formatting of the field (as-is) but have them exported as numbers, rather than text.
Can this be done?
Please advise!
Thanks.
AK

I actuallly found my answer elsewhere (http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1235276&page=4).
The Decimal formattion (x=2) for the fields can be set as follows:
If CurrentFieldValue = Int(CurrentFieldValue) Then 0Else If CurrentFieldValue * 10 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 10) Then 1
Else If CurrentFieldValue * 100 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 100) Then 2
Else If CurrentFieldValue * 1000 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 1000) Then 3
Else If CurrentFieldValue * 10000 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 10000) Then 4
Else If CurrentFieldValue * 100000 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 100000) Then 5
Else If CurrentFieldValue * 1000000 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 1000000) Then 6
ElseDefaultAttribute
Basically - this works.
Hope this helps someone else!
Thanks.

Report file name as parameter

There's probably a simple answer to this but I can't figure it out...
I have made a jsp-page to view my report using CR4E's Create Viewer JSP wizard. Instead of hard-coded report file name, I'm taking the name from URL parameter like this
myviewer.jsp?report=myreport.rpt
The report shows fine until I click any of the controls (next page, print, export, etc.) in HTML-viewer. This seems to run some javascript code that calls the myviewer.jsp again, but loses all URL parameters! How can I preserve those parameters?

Page navigation with the viewer works by post-back to the page where you've defined the viewer - the viewer interprets the postback GET parameters for the action required.
This means that the ReportSource must be available for every postback - usually, it's stored in HTTP Session.
Check out the following sample codes:

Help required in embedding flash file object into Crystal Report file.

Hello,
      I use the default version of Crystal Report (i.e.'Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 - version 10.5' ) which is the part of 'Visual Studio 2008', to create and display the Report. Further, as a requirement, I have to show 'Event Video' into the Report. But, as this default version of Crystal Report does not support Flash File, I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed the 30 days trial version of the Crystal Report (i.e. Crystal Report 2008 - version 12.0).
      Then, I created a new Crystal Report File using 'Crystal Report 2008 Designer', embedded the video as a Flash File(i.e. SWF file) into it. Now, when I add this newly created Crystal Report File into my sample application, which is created using VS 2008, it does not shows the embedded video.
      So, can anybody please tell me, how can I embed the Flash File into Crystal Report, so that it will be visible in the sample application?
I would like to appreciate your help and support.
Thanks,
-Yogesh.

Symptom :
When embedding a pdf document into a Crystal Report, only the one page shows.
Reproducing the Issue
Environment:
Crystal Reports OLE object
Cause
An OLE object only displays the first page.
Resolution
Embed multiple objects, one for each page
Or
Use a hyperlink to the object instead
Hope this helps!

Creating crystal report file dynamically.

Hi, everybody.
I have one problem.
How to create crystal report file(*.rpt) in php dynamically.
I mean, I want to create the "*.rpt" file with php code.
Please help me. thanks everybody.

Post Author: PWilkens
CA Forum: General
It sounds like you're defeating the power and purpose of Crystal Reports, or replace it with pure PHP (which I suppose could be done... but why?)
What exactly are you trying to do?
If you're trying to make certain parts of the report hide or reveal or change depending on variables settings in the PHP file, that's easy enough to accomplish by sending parameters with your PHP values into the report. But the dynamic actions really need to be done within the report itself, accomplished through ample use of the section and field settings provided within the Report Designer.

Crystal report files created, but why not all?

I am using several (total 19) Crystal report files (*.rpt) in my project as report or subreport. When I delete these rpt files under my "...\bin\Debug" folder and run the application I see that some (exactly 14) of them are automatically retrieved back into the "...\bin\Debug" folder.
But there are several other reports (remaining 5 of them) I also want them to be created at the application start. I have debugged the application from tha main entrance and saw that the rpt files are generated even the first line of code is executed. Also checked my "App.config" file (where I hold the paths for these report originals) and added the most recently created report that is not retrieved into the file, but the file is not retrieved.
I have also checked the contents of "XXXXX.exe" (XML Configuration file), "XXXXX.vshost.exe" (XML Configuration file) under "...\bin\Debug" folder and "XXXXX" (Microsoft Visual Studio Solution), "XXXXX" (Microsoft Visual Studio Project file), "XXXXX.csproj" (Visual Studio Project User Options file), "XXXXX" (XML Configuration file) under the project folder but I still can not figure out how the Visual Studio determines which ones to retrieve and leave others
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards.

This could be related to the Build Action property for the .rpt file. Compare the settings for this property to see if the files that are not copied have a different setting.

Good morning,
I am trying to print on the footer of the report the report file name and path as well as the report last modification date.
Anyone would know how I can do that? I have checked the doc but found nothing.
Thks. Philippe.

Did you ever determine how to print report name and report last mod date?
Thanks

How can I change the report file name depending on which seq file is run in the main seq?

I'm using TestStand 3.0.
I have a main sequence file with a menu option to select one of several sequence files to run.
How can I get TestStand to change report file name to the selected sequence file rather than the main sequence file name?
Thanks

Hi Harminder
Try RunState.Root.Locals.ReportFilePath = "PathToMyFile.xxx"
