Powerpoint report format issue

I am generating powerpoint from SAP Webdynpro . I am facing issue in that.
If variable is not having any value then its font size and font face changes , this will change the fixed format which is defined in powerpoint .
So if anybody have faced this type of problem , could you guess why it is reacting like this ??
Thanks
Ankesh

Hi Thomas,
PPTX --> Powerpoint
Yes you are right, I am using some methods to generate PPTX file from Webdynpro. That PPTX is having some slides which contain variables and graphs . So I am populating the varible value from my Webdynpro Application .
So in PPTX , the variable which is having some value then it is coming fine but if the variable which is not having any values then its font size and font face changes.
I have defined Font Face : Aerial and Font Size : 5 but on the above condition it will change it to
Font Face : Calibri (Body) and Font Size : 18
In Application 1stly the PPTX file is unzip and XML files are created and then after filling of values those unzip files are zipped again and gives as powerpoint as output.
I know it is very unusal type of error. I have also compared both XML file ( Before Generation and After Generation ) . They are same.
*Impact : If font size increases the block in which the variable is defined also increases that will lead to disturb the fixed structure of block and hence whole layout gets disturbed.*
If any other information required do let me know
Thanks

XI R2 To 3.1 Sp2 migration and report format issues

Hello,
is there a way to fix or troubleshoot report format issues after migrating to 3.1?
We have a heavy report that the format (the way the report looks) is very important. In crytal Reports 2008 sp2 the format is OK.
But from BOE CMC or from url reporting the report format have problems.
Thank you

Hi Ruhver,
Crystal Report documents are heavily dependant on the printer driver for formatting. If you design the report using a specific default driver than it will be dependant on that printer driver for formatting. When you publish it to Enterprise, the same printer driver may not exist so the report will be re-formated to fit the default driver on the server, or if no driver exists, it will use an internal method to format the report.
Try this as a test.
1) Open your report in the CR 2008 designer.
2) Click on the File/Page Setup.
3) Select the "No Printer" option. This tells the report to use this internal method to format the report
4) Save this document as "Title - No Printer"
5) Export it to Enterprise
6) Test this report again. Formatting should be identical in BOE vs CR.
Keep in mind that when you change the driver in step 3, the report in the designer will re-format. You may need to tweak the report again in order for the formatting to be as desired.
Test this out and if you require further assistance with this, I would suggest opening a message. This is a common issue and a support engineer could likely help you with this pretty easily.
Hope this helps,

Try by setting view properties like Table or Pivot table if this is not working then attach the report to a page and set the section properties and see how it works.
If this is not working then Notes might have trimming it ;)

Crystal Reports Formatting issues when exporting to Word Editable document

Version: CR XI, I am editing a document exported from CR to Word Editable
When exporting to a Word Editable (.rtf) document the formatting changes. For example: lines that were drawn in the report do not come across, there is a tab in front of each line and a carriage return at the end of each line and spacing and justification formatting are not the same. Is there a way to export to Word Editable and keep the formatting integrity? This report was developed by a third party but I can edit it if needed.

Pages 5 is, as an early reviewer put it, "an unmitigated disaster." Not only does it lack some 100 feautres that are present in Pages 09 (4.3), it is also VERY buggy, A quick look through these discussions will reveal a painful litany of data corruption, files that cannot be opened, lost data, and other anomalies. Links do not export reliably to PDFs, and, as you've discovered, export to .docx format is unreliable. Sadly, the best advice is to trash Pages 5.1 and use Pages 4.3 or — yes, it's come to that — Word instead.

Report format issue.,

Hi all
I have below values to create report. can anyone provide any inputs to get the format which i given below please.
Chars:           customer, calmonth.
Key Figures: value, quantity, total (calculated key figure already defined)
*Expecting format:*
                         January       |                February      |                   March
                   value    quantity |         value    quantity |      value      quantity    |    TOTAL
customer

Waiting for any inputs.
Thanks

Hi Swetha,
Welcome to SDN !!!!
Put the 0CALMONTH in the cloumns (Which is on ur righthand side in the query designer) and restrict it with values Jan,Feb and March.In the default created structure put all your Key figures like quantity ,total (again on the riight hand side) and in the rows drag the customer .
This shud satisfy your requirement.The Colmonth and KFs n Column and Customer in Rows.
Also check the format what u want in the Query dsigner itself after u drag and dropt eh KFs and Chars,the system itself proposes the format ,just below the Column and next to Rows.Do try out this to get ur format.

BEx Reporting Format Issue

Hi,
I need to create a HR-BW BEx report in the following format.
For each employee number, i need to display following 3 rows of information:
For example, for employee number: Emp1, following 3 rowd should be present.
01 Year Of Experience
02 Years of service
03 Years in Entitlement for annual holidays
I am having required data is available in the InfoProvider from the source system. Can you please help me, how can i create the BEx report in the above specified format?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Venkata.

Venkata,
It is very easy to create such report.
1. Open the BEx Query Designer
2. IF you are using 7.0 you will see tabs with Filter and Rows/Colum
3. Goto Rows/ Column
4.You must be using KEy Figures for Years of Exp, Years of Service
drag those in the rows
5. SAve the query and execute it using the BEx Analyzer. Open Query.
Ask some ones help for the Name spacing standards you follow in your organization

Financial Reporting Formatting Issue

1st column have 3 character strings
2nd column have 30 character strings
3rd column have 60 character strings
And so on.... every column having different count of character strings
I can set columns width for each one but I am looking for an option like "auto fit"(what we have in Planning web forms) to set column width for all columns of
in my Financial Report.
Please let me know if there is such type of option in FR

Crystal 2008 for VS 2010 - Report formatting issues in viewer (extra space)

Hello,
We have a Windows Form application developed in VS 2010 using the Crystal 2008 for VS 2010 runtime. We are having issue with extra spaces in text objects. For example: in a report header we have an object that has text similar to this:
This report will print a list of all Serial Numbers in the Serial Table that are missing related Serial Meter records.
When we run it within Crystal 2008 Designer, it looks great; however, when we run it from the Windows Viewer we developed, it looks like this:
This report will print a list of all Serial Numbers in the Serial Table that are missing related Serial Meter records .
The viewer places extra spaces between records and the period (.). We also noticed it places spaces in phone numbers:
952 -555-555
There's an extra space between the 2 and the dash (-).
One thing we noticed is, if you change the viewer zoom to 98%, then the extra spacing goes away.
We just upgraded to SP1 for Crystal 2008 for VS 2010 and still the same issue. We are referencing these DLLS: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll, CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, CrystalDecisions.Shared, and CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms all version are 13.0.2000.0.
Any help would be great.
Thank you,
Tyler

Hi Tyler,
I copied the text from your other post into a new report and changed the fonts and previewed in my C# test app and I don't see the problem.
"We have a Windows App that we just converted to .NET 4.0 and updated the viewer to the Crystal Reports Viewer in VS 2010. When we 952-555-555 open a report that has a large block of static text in paragraphs left-aligned the spacing around punctuation is awful - there's almost a tab's worth of space between the last letter and the period. U.S. looks like US. This happens both with reports that were created in VS2008 and ones that were created in VS2010. It is only a problem in the viewer's display - if we print to a printer or export to PDF the spacing around punctuation is fine. It's also not a problem on our development workstations which are running Windows 7, but is a problem on our test servers which are running Windows 2003 Server. I ran the modules tool and found that the version of usp10.dll does match what the previous thread said it should be and it's coming from the c:\program files\sap businessobjects\crystal reports for .net framework 4.0\common\sap businessobjects enterprise xi 4.0\win32_x86\ folder. On my development machine when I run the modules tool I notice that a second instance of usp10.dll is called which is the version installed with Windows 7. We've tried changing fonts but none of the ones we've tried (originally in Times New Roman, 12, tried Arial, Times and various sizes) have made a difference. We also tried changing the print options with no improvement. The only thing that makes it slightly better is full-alignment but our customer insists that it be left-aligned."
I threw in the telephone number also you noted in this post.
I created a new report and copied the text above into a text object and then previewed. I then changed the fonts to various types and I don't see the problem.
I also used Courier New because it's a fixed font layout, meaning the same letter always uses the same amount of space, and it shows just fine also.
I've seen issues where the Video driver and screen size can affect the spacing. Usually updating the Video driver or changing your screen resolution resolves the problem.
What Video Drivers and Monitor are you using?
And What OS?
Thank you
Don

Crystal for VS 2010 - formatting issues in viewer (extra space) again

We're having the same problem as the one in this thread link:[Crystal 2008 for VS 2010 - Report formatting issues in viewer (extra space);. There's no resolution in the thread and it's been closed. I'm hoping that creating a new thread may cause someone to answer this problem.

Re. the other thread. I never did receive a sample of the report to test with. Perhaps I can get one from you? I need you to ensure that the issue occurs with a "saved data" report. If it does, let me know if you can share it and I'll contact you via email. My comment in the other thread re. available time, priorities, etc., still applies. Also, just to be clear. Service Pack 2 for CRVS2010 is closed now. Thus if I am able to reproduce the issue the fix will be targeted for October \ November time frame - no guarantees though...

Reports exported to Excel - Formatting issues

We have two Business Objects Enterprise servers (boxi r2 and boxi r3.1 sp3) running side by side. We find that reports created using boxi r2 and exported to Excel format look fine. When we run the same report and export to excel using boxi r3.1 sp3, we encounter the following formatting issues:
<ol>
<li>All columns do not fit on pages. The last 2 to 3 columns spill over onto extra pages.</li>
<li>There are some columns where most of the values are blank, but when a row is exported that has a value in that column, all subsequent column positions for that row shift.</li>
<li>All rows do not fit on page. The last two rows flow onto a new page, then there seems to be a page break.</li>
<li>On some reports dates are displayed as ######.</li>
<li>On some reports column headings are not centered.</li>
<li>I would appreciate any input that would help us determine a fix for the formatting issues we are encountering.</li>
</ol>
The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.
Here is the code from the application that does the export:
                            ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                            DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
                            diskOptions.DiskFileName = filename + ".xls";;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOptions;
                            ExcelFormatOptions XLOptions = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                            XLOptions.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                            XLOptions.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatOptions = XLOptions;
                            rptDoc.Export(exportOptions);
Please note the following details about our environment:
<h5>Report Designers:</h5>CR Designer version: xi Rel 2
<h5>Developer environment</h5>Has the following installed:
- Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 2
- VS .Net 2008
- Crystal reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008
- Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP3

Umm, the code you provided has nothing to do with Business Objects Enterprise...(?). So, I'm a bit confused by the mention of BOE and "The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" in essentially one paragraph.
Can you pls explain?

Migration from crystal reports 8 to 11 - Formatting Issue(Criticial)

Post Author: DJ Gaba
CA Forum: General
I have migrated my crystal report version from version 8 to version 11 (evaluation version) but I am seeing some formattiong issue
My entire report data has moved little bit toward right so my rightmost line (table) wraps up in next page and hence leaving every second page blank.
is it that I am using evaluation version that is casuing problme. Report is opening up properly but it's the formatting issues
Or it's something else
Let me know
DJ

Post Author: DJ Gaba
CA Forum: General
Well I will definately try that. Currenlty I am in process of downloading licensed version to observe the behaviour
But just looking at font sizes in both pdf's (version 8 and 11), it seems that font sizes are same in both pdfs. But I will confirm that once I open the crystal report 11 designer
Probably you can send me your e-mail ID so that I can send you both pdf's
I am also planning to compare property/obect values in crystal report 11 designer to see if anything else got changed that needs to be reverted as it was in crystal report 8.
Thanks
