Problems underlaying multiple detail sections

I'm having difficulty with Crystal XI - report has multiple detail sections, I would like to underlay them so they appear on top of each other, but I just can't get it to work.

Your explanation isn't detailed enough to allow someone to help. I'd suggest two courses of action:
1) Run the data and form through Central with tracing turned on. This will provide you with detailed information on what is happening when and why. You should be able to see what's triggering the subforms.
2) Post another note, this time with an example of your data and a more detailed explanation of your result (e.g. I have 3 details and 3 totals and they're coming out in the following order D1,D2,D3,T1,T2,T3 instead of D1, T1, D2, T2, D3, T3) and I'll try to help.

Multiple Details Sections in the same report

I'm trying to take two different columns from a fact table, and display them in one column on the report. So I'll then have the charge quantities (grouped and summarized) listed above the charge amounts (grouped and summarized) across months (columns).
Is there any way to have multiple detail sections in the same report, something like below? I tried sub reporting, but you can't subreport a subreport. I also tried cross tabs, but they're not flexible enough in the groupings I'm looking for.
Report Header
Group Heading 1
Details
Group Footing 1
Group Heading 1
Details
Group Footing 1
Report Footer
Thanks!!

How to combine multiple Details section rows in my report

Hello,
I am currently creating a report which will display employee details, which includes first name, last name, home phone, cell phone and Email.
I get my First Name and Last name from the "Employees" table but all other info is situated in the "CommunicationLinks" table.
The tricky part which I am having issues with is the Home Phone, Cell Phone and Email are all under the same field in this table, the field is called "DisplayAs".
These 2 tables are linked together by taking Employees.LinkID and linking it to CommunicationLinks.LinkIDParent, which are matching linkids.
The only issue that I have, is for example, if you look at the screenshot provided, I have 5 details section that gets populated for the same employee.
How can I combine all these 5 records to only one?
The homephone, cellphone and email field have formulas created for them, the formula is as follow.
This example below is for the HomePhone field, the others have different type assigned to them
If {CommunicationLinks.Type} =1 then
{CommunicationLinks.DisplayAs}
else ""
Homephone, Cellphone and Email are all different types but uses the same field "DisplayAs".
I also tried creating a subreport for each of these fields but seems to give me the same results.
Any help would be really appreciated.
If you have any other questions please let me know. See attached screenshots for reference.
Thank you in advanced.
Jocelyn

Easier way without working in SQL:
1. Group by a field that is unique to the employee.
2. Suppress the employee group header and the details sections.
3. Create a couple of formulas:
{@ClearVariables}
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar HomePhone := "";
StringVar CellPhone :="";
StringVar Email := "";
Put this formula in the employee group header - even though the section is suppressed, it will evaluate.
{@SetVariables}
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar HomePhone;
StringVar CellPhone;
StringVar Email;
if {CommunicationLinks.Type} =1 then
HomePhone := {CommunicationLinks.DisplayAs};
else if {CommunicationLinks.Type} = <type for cell> then
CellPhone := {CommunicationLinks.DisplayAs};
else if {CommunicationLinks.Type} = <type for email> then
Email := "";
Put this formula in the details section - it will evaluate even though the section is suppressed.
{@HomePhone}
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar HomePhone
(Do the same for Cell Phone and Email. Note that there is no semi-colon at the end of this one!)
Put these formulas and all of the rest of the employee data in one or more Employee group footer sections.

Hi,
I have to create a report from one master table and two details tables. (ie), the data from the master table should be displayed first line followed by the records from 1st detail table and then records from the 2nd details table. I am using business objects 6.5. Can you explain how to do this.

Set Range Start for Detail Section of advanced table

Hi All
I have the following requirement :
My page is a search page and the results region has a master-detail section which is implemented using a view link. Now in the detail section, there is an icon on which a PPR has been implemented and it navigates to a new page. Once we come back to this page, we are not retaining the AM due to some technical reasons.
Now when the page is displayed, we are re-querying and showing the results to the user. Before navigation, we are storing rangestart for the master section in a session variable and are able to assign it back.
Problem :
If the detail section has about 50 rows and the user has navigated to the 30th row using the naviagtion bar of the detail section, how do we assign it back for each master row once we come back to this screen?
Regards
Sriram

What is the source of your import? If your camera is attached, or if you copied s camera's card to your Mac or if you made a camera archive, Final Cut will see the file as a camera and you should be able to make elections in the import preview window - by using keyboard shortcuts, or the Range tool.,

Export to Excel - Multiple Tables in a single details section

Hi All,
I have a set of reports where I am using a single details section to show multiple tables stacked over one another. That is, i have a table with three columns and two rows, followed by some white space and then another table with 4 columns and 1 row, followed by white space and then other tables.
When I export it to excel, I am getting the data but the ordering is in a reverse pivoted fashion:
Excel output:
CR_column1_Heading    CR_Column2_Heading    CR_Column1_Data CR_Column2_Data
Is there a way to control the sequence of fields displayed in excel while exporting?
Thanks.
- Atif.

@Carl,
It is printing like this.
HEADER1   HEADER2    HEADER3     DATA 1     DATA 2     DATA 3
I am getting all the columns and fields in excel, that is not a problem. However, the problem is whether i can control the order the fields are printed onto Excel.
Like what Ben is commenting:
HEADER1   DATA 1     HEADER2    DATA 2     HEADER3     DATA 3
However, I dont want to reorder the fields on the canvas as the format layout is predefined.
I tried searching through the Cystal SDK if there is a finer level of control but to no avail.
A work around under the above constraints would be simply amazing!
Thanks again and appreciate your response.
Regards,
Atif.

Edit box length size problem...at Detail Section.

hi.
Plz have a look on below image.
This is my problem.

but the size of the filed is more than the size of the Edit box..
i all ready checked can grow option in format field common properties.
but horizontal line is not adjusting ....
what should i do...

Hi Srini,
You can't place another object directly below an object that 'grows'.
Create another section and move the line to this new section.

How to force multiple columns in the Details section

Hello,
My report has a lot of data in the Details section, but it could fit on one page if I could put it in three columns. Is there a way to do this?
The Details section has setting: Force the new page after certain number of visible records. This would be perfect for me if instead of multiple pages I could use multiple columns.
Thank you,
Peter

Thank you.
I think I see now how to format the columns.

Problem in creating reports with one multiple detail tables

hi,
i tried to create workbook in the discoverer user edition with ONE MASTER TABLES AND MULTIPLE DETAL TABLES. but it does not allow . is there any solution ?
NAresh

I've given up on trying to do this in the user edition - the 2 masters to multiple details. Instead, I create custom folders in the admin edition. They never complain about masters and details. If anyone ever figures out how to do this in the User Edition, I'd sure like to hear about it. I do agree that the original problem - 1 master to multiple details works fine in 3.1.44.

Single Master, multiple details add-rows problem

Hi, hope to get a replay at least this time (last threads have gone unreplied :-( )
We've built a master-multiple details table. Everything in visualization has worked OK until we've got the need to add rows to each
detail table separately (i.e. for same master row, one could add N rows to one detail and M rows to the other).
Keeping the standard "addRows" table buttons doesn't work because the same addRows event is fired for both the subtables, so
adding a row in one just adds a row also to the other, until a dedlock situation is reached.
So we tried to set a different button so we could intercept the originator table (SOURCE_PARAM) in the processForm but here we're facing
some big problems.
First at all, the methods and names are correct: we've tried to use the same code (cut and paste) for the table putting the inner table "outside"
and buttons are working as expected.
But when the detail table is put back "within" the master, what happens is that the AM method called by pFR in the Controller is executed, so
we reach the end of the processFormRequest, but at this time something happens and we get the exception error message reported more below.
I've read that via the VL it is not the original detail VO instance which is showed, so wonder if the error has something to do with that...
So to summarize:
1) all the objects exist and are ok, and the VL is defined OK; and indeed the standard AddRows management works (as said, the problem
is that we need to differentiate two different details...)
2) the methods are OK as they work as soon as the details are put outside the master table.
Any suggestion ? Do we need to refer to a specific details VO instance ???
Thanks in advance. Rgds.

Add Multiple Detail Items Using the Same Query String Parameter

I am using InfoPath 2010 and SharePoint 2010.
I have 2 forms libraries - Expense and Expense Details.
The 2 libraries are linked via a custom site column Expense ID.
The Expense form contains the main header type info you would typically find on an expense report; e.g., name, purpose, department, etc.
The Expense Details form contains multiple detail expenses related to the main expense report such as airfare, rental car, etc.
I have created a page that displays an expense report with all of the related expense detail items.
The page contains a link to add a new expense detail and passes the Expense ID of the Expense form to the Expense Detail form.
This all works fine. The problem comes in after the first expense detail form is submitted.
I can successfully submit the first detail item. However, the expense detail form loses the Expense ID that was passed to it after the first expense detail form has been submitted.
The parameter still shows in the URL but the detail form no longer shows the value of the parameter.
What do I need to do in order to be able to add multiple expense detail items using the same Expense ID that was passed to the form?
I have tried using a Submit Behavior of Open a new form, Close the form, and Leave the form open.
None of these options give me what I need. Thanks for your help.

Laura Rogers Blog
In case anyone stumbles upon this looking for an answer. Laura Rogers has the answer found in the comments section of her blog above. It’s not the best but it
does work. You have to add an extra Info Path Web Form for it to work. I know, you can roll your eyes.<o:p></o:p>
Steps.<o:p></o:p>
1. Add Query String<o:p></o:p>
2. Add the extra Info Path form to the page. This form will be a hidden on the page and will receive the value from the query string.<o:p></o:p>
3. Add your original Info Path form and have it receive a parameter from the hidden Info Path form.<o:p></o:p>
Now, when you hit save and it opens a new form the 3 Info Path form will function properly. <o:p></o:p>

Blob dictates duplicate items in details section-based on supression

I was orginally having issues with my supression on this. I think I have it figured out. But..
I have parts that I request that sometimes have drawing with them. I created a table in Access with 3 columns - number, .bitmap., nameof drawing
I brought this table in. I place 1 drawing in the reports and this changes based upon the Paramter{drawing.id} that I have beeing selected. The problem is that I get duplicate fields produced in my details section. Now the blob sits in my report footer C. Can anyone suggest why or help with why my data is duplicating in my details section?
all items in my details section are duplicating
here is my sql if it helps:
max40385
SELECT "PR"."PRNUM", "COMPANIES"."NAME",
"COMPANIES"."ADDRESS1", "COMPANIES"."ADDRESS2",
"COMPANIES"."ADDRESS3", "COMPANIES"."ADDRESS4",
"COMPANIES"."PHONE", "COMPANIES"."FAX", "PR"."SHIPTOATTN",
"COMPANIES_1"."NAME", "COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS1",
"COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS2", "COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS3",
"COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS4", "PR"."ISSUEDATE", "PR"."CONTACT",
"PR"."REQUIREDDATE", "PRLINE"."ITEMNUM", "PRLINE"."ORDERUNIT",
"PRLINE"."ORDERQTY", "PRLINE"."DESCRIPTION",
"PRLINE"."UNITCOST", "PRLINE"."LINECOST",
"PRLINE"."PONUM", "LONGDESCRIPTION"."LDTEXT"
FROM   "MAXIMO"."PR" "PR", "MAXIMO"."COMPANIES" "COMPANIES",
"MAXIMO"."COMPANIES" "COMPANIES_1", "MAXIMO"."PRLINE"
"PRLINE", "MAXIMO"."LONGDESCRIPTION" "LONGDESCRIPTION"
WHERE ("PR"."VENDOR"="COMPANIES"."COMPANY") AND ("PR"."SHIPTO"="COMPANIES_1"."COMPANY") AND ("PR"."PRNUM"="PRLINE"."PRNUM") AND ("PRLINE"."LDKEY"="LONGDESCRIPTION"."LDKEY" ) AND "PR"."PRNUM"='25334'
C:\Documents and Settings\kpowell\My Documents\Drawings.mdb
SELECT `Parts_Drawings`.`ID`
FROM   `Parts Drawings` `Parts_Drawings`
Edit here-
Ok - I have 3 parameters
1- sets pr field ={?pr.num}
2.- mandatory answer determines a supress on fields(blob, and section blob is in) - supress statment is   - {?yes/no}=no - for both areas
the parameter is {?yes/no}
3. sets up the blob to put into the document base upon a field in the table
that I made in access (based upon column 1 in acces table) - user makese selection based upon yes or no above if no then just leave it as ......
The wired thing is when I have multiple line items in my Pr (purchase request)
if I included a drawing there are no duplicate details
If I dont include the blob (meaning I supress it based upon the answer in my parameter - all items in the details section duplicate ( i suppress these if duplicated but it leaves huge gaps in my report.... any help would be great!
Ok i figured it out. In my access table i created the 1st entry and left the bitmap entry empty and put a descrition of not needed. I selected this as my drawing in my 3rd parameter and it satifies the report as thinking it has a drawing in it even though there is not. So all my duplicate line item in my details section disappear. thanks all

Remove Multi columns in Detail Section

I'm converting reports from Crystal 8.5 to Crystal 2008. My old report has a detail section with multiple columns, and I want to remove this formatting. The check box in the section format window is grey and can't be changed. What is the magic combination to get the detail section back to no columns?

I'm struggling with the same problem, only I'm currently working with a report in version 8.5. The report was originally designed years ago using the Label wizard, but now the client wants to change it to a regular report.
I decided to "peek under the hood" and this is what I found:
The Crystal Report Object has a property "Kind" which will have a value corresponding to the application constant CRReportKind. The possible values are these: 1 (crColumnarReport), 2 (crLabelReport), or 3 (crMulColumnReport). Versions 8.5 and 10 are the same. I'm thinking that this property is what's preventing us from getting to that grayed-out checkbox. However, it is a read-only property, meaning, obviously, that you can't change it.
The report I'm working with is a 2 (crLabelReport). This is the VB6 code I used to find that:
Dim reportname As String
Dim oApp As CRAXDRT.Application
Dim oKind As CRAXDRT.CRReportKind
Dim oRpt As CRAXDRT.Report
Dim oSection As CRAXDRT.Section
Set oApp = CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
reportname = "(put the complete path and filename of the report here)"
Set oRpt = oApp.OpenReport(reportname, 1)
Debug.Print oRpt.Kind
Set oRpt = Nothing
Set oApp = Nothing
It doesn't look promising. You will probably have to redo the report, or, it may be possible to recreate the report in VB only setting the Kind property to 1. If someone else can verify that this is doable, it may be the best solution.

CR10 problem with printing details using Across then Down option

Post Author: roundedge_81
CA Forum: General
Hi,I have a sub-report that contains details with 'Format with Multiple Columns' and 'Across then Down' printing option enabled. My problem is when it prints if a column detail has more information than it could fit in the current page towards the end of the page. A page break is done and the remaining column detail is offset to the beginning of next page.for example: col1 col2 col3 X X X X X X If the data in row 2 and col 2 couldn't be fit into the current page this is what I seepage1 col1 col2 col3 X X X X page2 col1 col2 col3 X X can anyone suggest how can I stop this from happening.-Thanks

hi Ravi,
have a look at the attached report. extract the contents and change the .txt extension to .rpt.
this is not a report that was designed as a Label report, but is a multi-column report. see the section expert for the Details section if you're not familiar with multi-column reports. note in the Layout tab the options used.
also note that there are 3 groups in the report to make this happen. each of the group headers are conditionally suppressed based on the parameter. the groups are 'fake groups' and not based on any database fields. this is also important. the fake group formula is whilereadingrecords; ''
i hope this helps,
jamie

Generating multiple details from a single input row

Post Author: dhay
CA Forum: General
I'm using Crystal Reports Developer XI.
Each input row from the database contains a starting serial number and the number of serial numbers to be generated. The detail section of my report consists of a form containing the serial number. I want to create a form for each serial number that is to be generated. For example, if the database supplies a starting serial number of 11, and the number of serial numbers to be generated is equal to 3, my report would create three forms, the first containing serial number '11', the second form contains serial number '12', and the third, '13'. The next input row would then be read, and multiple forms would be created for that input row. And so on.
So, I want each input row to create as many instances of my report's detail section as is specified by the input field 'number of serial numbers to be generated'.
In my prior experience, each input row generates a single detail section instance on the report. Can I do what I described above in Crystal? Alternatively, is there a way to do this using SQL (possibly generating an intermediate table or view) so that the Crystal Report would receive one input row per serial number (and would thus work in the normal manner)?
Thanks in advance,
Don

assume you have a check box at column no 1. and print button
create a hidden item on page zero
create a PL?SQL page process on submit - after computations and validation with condition when button press is print
and put this code
FOR i in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.count
LOOP
if i = 1 then
:p0_invoice_selected := APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i);
else
:p0_invoice_selected := ::p0_invoice_selected ||','||APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i);
end if;
END LOOP;
create page branching to zero page and call the report on the request field
PRINT_REPORT=print_invoice and condition when button press is print
in your invoice print query put the condition
where invoice_id in (:p0_invoice_selected)
in your report template insert a group with invoice_id at the top and select page break.
Now about your page no select the section-page no not the normal page no.
but you have invoice-id as a character then i would suggest you create a type
CREATE OR REPLACE type list_table as table
of varchar2 (500);
add a function
function in_list_table( p_string in varchar2 ) return list_table
as
l_string long default p_string || ',';
l_data list_table := list_table();
l_instr number;
begin
loop
exit when l_string is null;
l_instr := instr( l_string, ',' );
l_data.extend;
l_data(l_data.count) :=
ltrim( rtrim( substr( l_string, 1, l_instr-1 ) ) );
l_string := substr( l_string, l_instr+1 );
end loop;
return l_data;
end;
and call the function in your sql query
invoice_id IN
(SELECT list.COLUMN_VALUE
FROM table(CAST (
in_list_table(:p0_invoice_selected) AS list_table
)) list))
hope this will solve your problem.
