Scaling in Report

Hi Experts,
I have a column whose scaling is supposed to be in millions, but among this column, it is required that one of the rows (this is a formula) should be in percentage and scaling factor of 1. I have tried to change the properties of the row to be as follows:
Scaling Factor: 1
Number of Decimal Places: 0.0
Calculate Result As: Nothing Defined
Calculate Single Values As: Nothing Defined
Formula Collision: Nothing Defined
And properties of the column to be as follows:
Scalign Factor: 1000000
Number of Decimal Places: 0
Calculate Result As: Nothing Defined
Calculate Single Values As: Nothing Defined
Formula Collision: Nothing Defined
However, it still shows scaling factor of 1000000 in the row instead of 1. I have tried to define 'Formula Collision: Result from this formula' in the row but it does not work.
Pls Help!!!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have figured out the error.. The properties in the column shld be:
Scaling Factor: (From Key Figure: 1,000)
Number of Decimal Places: (From Key Figure: 0.00)..
Hope this will help any1 who might be having the same prob.

  • Scaling in reports BPC5 Versus BPC7NW

    I copied the BPC5.1 reports and using in BPC7NW.
    Though all 5.1 reports are working after copying to BPC 7NW  ..some reports are having issues with scaling. In 5.1 reprots the scaling is defined in reports in the 'scaling control' property in reports 'Control Panel' to show in 1000's. It was working well with BPC5.1 systems. Whe the reports are copied to BPC7NW  the same scaling property is not working.
    Is there any difference between 5.1 vs 7nw for the scaling control?
    Please share your experience ,opinion...

  • Wrong font scaling after Report exported2pdf?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to export a DIAdem report as PDF-document, but the Font is scaled wrong on my machine, because the width of the font is too big.
    By the way, I'm using DIAdem 11.0(German). Furthermore I tried to export my report on another machine and surprisingly the font was scaled appropriate.
    However it doesn't make a difference which font I'm using because every font is scale wrong. 
    Attached you can find the PDF with bad scaling.
    What could be the reason for that behavior? Are there any special settings?
    I would be happy about some hints on that issue.
    thx

    Hi Brad,
    First of all, thank you for the quick feedback.
    I'm exporting the PDF interactively.
    Enclosed you find a picture showing the differences in the Font scaling.
    The top picture shows the PDF I exported on my machine (a laptop-computer with Windows XP SP2/DIAdem 11.0) which delivers the wrong scaling.
    The picture below shows the way how the PDF should look like, hopefully you can see the slight difference. The correct PDF I've exported on my colleagues machine (Desktop machine with Windows XP SP2/DIAdem 11.0).
    Anyway, I don't have a glue what could be the reason for this behavior.
    If you need any further files please let me know.
    Many Thanks

  • 2D X axis Scaling on Reports

    HI,
    My time data comes in using the system time from the computer and does not start at zero.  It is often starting at 3000 sec or 6240 sec, etc..
    When I run my report I am constantly having to change the beginning and end times in order to capture the data.  I came up with a partial solution to my problem, but am still running into one issue.  Some of the report pages have 2 2Dgraphs on them, and others only have 1 2Dgraph.  With the solution I have found, I can change all the report pages that have 2 graphs, but as soon as I hit one that only has 1 graph it throws an error.  I'm sure that there is an IF statement I can use, but have been unable to get one to really work.
    I have tried using ObjectNoMax and I have tried using "2DAxis1" instead of ("Area : 1"), but I still can't figure it out.  Can someone please help?

  • 2D Axis Scaling Bug in Reports (DIAdem 2014)

    Hello,
    I've run across a rarther annoying bug in the 2D axis scaling for Reports.  Here's how to recreate it:
    Load a dataset that has x and y components.
    Create a new layout in the Report tab
    On Sheet1, add a Simple 2D Axis System.
    Select x and y from the dataset and drag it into the 2D axis system.
    Change the scaling mode from "Completely Automatic" to "Manual."
    Change the "Begin" number to something close to the default DIAdem has set.  Do not touch the "End" number.  Click OK.
    Add Sheet2 and repeat steps #3 thru #6 on Sheet2 with a different dataset.
    Both plots look good right now...
    Go to Sheet2 and double click on the chart to bring up the Curve and Axis Definition.
    Don't touch anything...just click "Cancel."
    After clicking Cancel, the scaling of the 2D axis completely changes.  I believe what happens is that DIAdem takes whatever the previous "End" number was and uses that instead of the "End" number you want.  Also, you don't actually have to go into the Curve and Axis Definition to create this bug.  Press cancel while editing anything like text (for example)...bye bye plot.
    Moreover, if I go back in and set the scaling mode back to Auto, click preview to refresh the plot, then switch the mode to Manual, everything looks good.  However, if I copy Sheet2, the plot on Sheet2_Copy1 is messed up the same way as if I hit Cancel but Sheet2 is OK.
    Worst of all, the undo function does not work on this unwanted scaling change.
    This is a bug that makes plots in the Report files almost unusable.  I hope this is re-producable on other systems so a patch can be issued.  Let me know what you find.
    The only workaround I've found is to click OK instead of Cancel, which isn't always preferred.
    Thanks,
    Jacob

  • Custom Report: Actuals paid by Fiscal Year- multiple Columns

    Has anyone created a "time-scaled" InfoMaker report using "actuals paid"? We would like to create a report that shows actual payments made on each project broken down by fiscal year... so a single project may show actuals paid for FY 07-08, FY 08-09, and FY 09-10.. so "Actuals" would appear 3 times on the same report- based, on the approval date.
    I know that P6 can do this quite easily, but we are not linking CM to P6 schedule yet.

    Yes, I've created many reports of this nature including building a table that can be used to select a specific period for reporting on a given range. Have created these reports in several formats including tabular, crosstab, and graphical (and combinations of those).

  • Batch report of indesign docs

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if there is a solution for this scenario:
    I have about 2,000 indesign documents and I need to insure that horizontal/verticle scaling is not applied to any of the text inside text boxes. Is there anything that can interegate a folder full of indesign files and create a report with that (and whatever else) information.
    Regards, Tim

    Hi Tim,
    As far as I know, there's no such a script. But it can be written.
    Here is a sample script to get you started:
    tell application "Finder"
         set TheFolder to choose folder
         set TheFilelist to files in TheFolder whose name ends with ".indd"
    end tell
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
         set user interaction level of script preferences to never interact
         repeat with Doc in TheFilelist
              tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3" to open Doc
              set CurrentDocument to active document
              tell CurrentDocument
                   set DocName to name
                   set ScaledText to (every text of every text frame whose horizontal scale is not 100 or vertical scale is not 100)
                   if (count ScaledText) is not equal to 0 then
                        set TheText to DocName & " - has " & ((count ScaledText) as string) & " scaled items" & return
                        my write_to_file(TheText, true)
                   end if
                   close saving no
              end tell
         end repeat
         set user interaction level of script preferences to interact with all
         beep 3
         display dialog "Finished" giving up after 5
    end tell
    on write_to_file(this_data, append_data)
         try
              set the log_file to (path to desktop as text) & "Scaled Text Report.txt" as text
              set the open_target_file to open for access file log_file with write permission
              if append_data is false then set eof of the open_target_file to 0
              write this_data to the open_target_file starting at eof
              close access the open_target_file
              return true
         on error
              try
                   close access file log_file
              end try
              return false
         end try
    end write_to_file
    I tested it on a bunch of very simple documents, so I'm not sure if it would work for you -- this is just an illustration of my idea.
    The script, at start, offers to choose a folder with indesign files. Then it opens every document, without showing errors (missing fonts, links, etc.), checks for scaled text, if it's found, it writes a line into Scaled Text Report.txt file created on the desktop, e.g.:
    SomeFile.indd - has 7 scaled items
    Finally it closes the document without saving
    Although I prefer JavaScript, for this script, I would chose AppleScript, because a single line can find all scaled text in a document:
    set ScaledText to (every text of every text frame whose horizontal scale is not 100 or vertical scale is not 100)
    BTW, you don't say which version of InDesign you are using, which platform you are on --  it's important to know.
    Regards,
    Kasyan

  • Jasper Reports Alternative

    I need to determine the Crystal Reports version that is an equivalent to Jasper Reports. 
    We need to implement a very scaled down reporting component of an existing j2EE application.  This component is to produce  .pdf reports on the screen that are available for printing.   These are not statistical reports and are infact part of the workflow contained within the application.  We address similar requirements in another application with Jasper reports but have been told to use Crystal for this application.
    Might someone be able to lend some light on which version would be most applicable?
    And, yes, that's correct, I'm not a developer.
    Thx!

    Go for the latest Crystal Reports 2008.

  • The CR 2010 for VS engine changes the margins and scales the report

    The CR 2010 for VS engine changes the margins and scales the report but only when printing.
    Environment:
    OS: Windows 7 x64 / Windows 2008 x64
    VS: VS 2010 x64
    CR designer: CR 2008 SP3.5
    CR engine: CR 2010 for VS SP1
    We have upgraded the Crystal Reports engine from version 10 to u201CCrystal Reports 2010 for VSu201D and are now having major issues with printing reports to preprinted papers, giro forms etc. because the report margins are changed and the reports are scaled (when report elements are in non-printable area?). Reports with elements in non-printable area are shown correctly in print preview (CR 2010 CrystalReportViewer) but moved to printable area when printed. This behavior was different in CR 10. Changing the PrintLayoutSettings in code is ignored when printing.
    Error u2013 The printed reports are scaled:
    -     Print in the CR 2008 Designer SP2
    -     CR 2010 for VS SP1
    OK u2013 The reports are not scaled:
    -     Print in the CR 2008 Designer SP3.5
    -     Print in the CR 10 Designer
    -     CR 10 engine
    Test:
    1) Crystal Reports Designer 2008 (with SP 3.5)
      a) Create a new blank RPT file.
      b) Set report margins to 0,0,0,0 in Page Setup.
      c) Add a box in the upper left corner (x=0, y=0).
      d) Select "Print preview" and validate that the box is located in 0,0 in preview window.
      e) Select u201CPrintu201D and validate that the box is located in 0,0 of the paper. Some of the box borders might be outside of the printable area but that is ok.
    2) Visual Studio 2010 and u201CCR 2010 for VSu201D with SP1:
      a) Create a new Windows Forms Application project (.NET Framework 4.0). Set project to u201C.NET Framework 4.0u201D and platform target u201Cx86u201D.
      b) Add the CrystalReportViewer control to Form1.
      c) Add the RPT file to the CrystalReportViewer control
      d) Run the application
      e) Validate that the box is located in 0,0 in the CrystalReportViewer control.
      f) Select the "Print" icon in the CrystalReportViewer
      h) Click the "Print" button and validate that the box is moved to the printable area which is wrong.
    Notice: In the print dialog (CR 2010 for VS) select the "Layout" tab page and see that "Scale u2026" is selected and cannot be changed. This is different from the CR 2008 Designer even though that it is the same report file and printer.

    I have done the requested test (and more - see below) and can not reproduce the issue.
    Tests done
    1) Crystal Reports Designer 2008 (with SP 3.5)
    a) Create a new blank RPT file.
    b) Set report margins to 0,0,0,0 in Page Setup.
    c) Add a box in the upper left corner (x=0, y=0).
    d) Select "Print preview" and validate that the box is located in 0,0 in preview window.
    e) Select u201CPrintu201D in the CR designer. Results in the box printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
    f) Repeat all of above with a text field report
    g) Select u201CPrintu201D in the CR designer. Results in the text printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
    2) Visual Studio 2010 and u201CCR 2010 for VSu201D with SP1:
    a) Create a new Windows Forms Application project (.NET Framework 4.0). Set project to u201C.NET Framework 4.0u201D and platform target u201Cx86u201D.
    b) Add the CrystalReportViewer control to Form1.
    c) Add the RPT file to the CrystalReportViewer control
    d) Run the application
    e) Validate that the box is located in 0,0 in the CrystalReportViewer control.
    f) Select the "Print" icon in the CrystalReportViewer
    g) Click the "Print" button
    h) Text filed report test results in the text printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
    i) Box report test results in the text printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
    3) VS2010 IDE
    a) Create a new blank RPT file.
    b) Set report margins to 0,0,0,0 in Page Setup.
    c) Add a box in the upper left corner (x=0, y=0).
    d) Preview report in the ID designer and validate that the box is located in 0,0 in preview window.
    e) Select u201CPrintu201D in the IDE designer. Results in the box printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
    f) Run above report in code
    g) Preview report and validate that the box is located in 0,0 in preview window
    h) Select the "Print" icon in the CrystalReportViewer
    i) Click the "Print" button
    j) Text filed report test results in the text printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
    k) Repeat all of above with a new report that uses a text field rather than a box.
    None of my reports have the option "No Printer" checked.
    All of my reports have the option "Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size" checked
    From the above, you can see that all of the printing tests result in consistent printing, be it a report created in CR 2008 or CRVS2010, useing a box or a field. No difference in printing.
    Suggestions:
    1) I am not sure if you have followed the steps you recommended. E.g.; are you creating a new report or using your existing report? See if following the steps described reproduces the issue (it may be there is something specific to your existing reports)
    2) Make sure you have the latest printer driver available for your printer
    3) Try a different printer
    4) Add a report to the VS2010 IDE and preview the report in the IDE of VS2010
    5) Compare the "No Printer" and "Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size"  options
    6) Consider creating a phone case so a support technician can troubleshoot the issue with you

  • Forte reporting

    I was just looking into this last week. Aside from Crystal, here are the
    options I know about.
    1. Actuate -- is an enterprise-scaled, OO reporting system and there is a
    shareware interface to Forte available off the Forte home page. There is
    also a ReportBridge product available from JHB Soft which is a more robust
    Forte-Actuate link.
    2. Indus has a Forte reportwriter, I think currently in beta. You can
    download an evaluation copy from their website.
    3. Brahmasoft is working on / nearing completion of a report writer also,
    and you could ask them for more information.

  • Server has not enough memory for operation (Some .rpt files not removing from Temp folder )

    We have web application developed in ASP.NET 4.0 ftramework and published on IIS. And we are using 13_0_8 version of CR.
    I am creating report files and exporting these as pdf. And I am disposing streams and report documents at the end. Initially, there wasn't any problem and temporary files which are created by CrystalReport were deleting all. But, now requests to the web application increeased to about 50.000 in a day and now some .rpt files are staying in Temp folder and I can't delete them. After recycling application pool all files are removed by IIS. Then, after 1 or 2 hours new .rpt files are creating in Temp folder. And after somewhile, application throws Server has not enough memory for operation. And, IMHO the reason is temp files. Here is the code I am using to export report as pdf.
    Questions:
    1. Is the reason of this exception is temp files in Temp folder?
    2. What is wrong in that code?

  • Printer output incorrect/too small after upgrading to VS 2010 Crystal

    I have a Windows Form application that was originally written using .net 3.5 and the version of Crystal Reports that came with Visual Studio 2008. When the VS 2010 release of Crystal Reports came out, I upgraded the application to .net 4/VS 2010 and the new Crystal release.
    This application prints checks on blank check stock, so alignment of the output has to be very exact to print the checks correctly. It prints the reports using the PrintToPrinter() method of the ReportDocument class.
    In the original version of the program, I had everything aligned correctly in the check report. After updating the application to the latest Crystal release,but making no changes to the report itself, I noticed that the alignment of the checks report was incorrect.
    After comparing the output, I was able to determine that the new output is slightly shrunk compared to old output, almost as if it is scaling the report in some way.
    I opened the report in the new report designer and verified that all page size and margin settings were correct/the same as before, and they were. The printed output is smaller than it should be based on how the report is designed. I tried adjusted the paper size, and also tried the "Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size" to see if I could somehow adjust for the scaling, but nothing I tried was successful.
    Our check printer is a HP LaserJet 5Si. During my investigation into the problem I discovered that if I printed the report to a pdf printer (PDFCreator) the resulting pdf did not have the same scaling/shrinking problem that I get when the report is sent directly to the LaserJet. I also printed a page from the pdf to the LaserJet using Acrobat Reader, and the output was as I expected it to be.
    I only seem to be seeing the scaling/shrinking problem when I send the report directly to the LaserJet. Is there some new setting that I'm overlooking that would be applying some sort of report-wide scaling? Any other ideas as to why this is happening?

    Looking for HP LaserJet 5Si at the HP website:

    I notice that there are several different types (hm, mx, nx, ...). Also, there are different drivers, depending on the OS.
    Ensure that you are using the correct driver (hm, mx, nx, ...) for your printer and for your OS and that the driver has the latest updates from HP.

  • CF 8 - pdf format changes with page count

    when crating a cfdocument as pdf format when we create a
    document approx. 500 pages or less everything is fine. when we go
    over that number the font size and some formatting changes. we are
    at a complete loss as to why this happening as we have checked and
    rechecked every option possible. even going as far as scaling the
    report down to only 1 or 2 lines. very bizarre. any thoughts on why
    this is or a direction to troubleshoot this would be great. thanks
    -Ralph

    I'm not sure if this helps, but we've noticed formatting changes when the PDF writer considers the items in the cfdocument page too big for the layout (fonts resizing, inconsistent styling, etc).  We shrunk our content down (especially images) to make sure everything fit on screen.  also, if you are using images, make sure you are placing images in the cfdocument at the same height/width as the actual image file.
    Not sure how helpful that's going to be - sounds like your issue is more about raw file size than anything else, but thought I would mention it.

  • Settings- "Allow visitors to download photos" my butt!

    I am so confused why in the settings of this new version of iPhoto it allows us to check or uncheck the "Allow visitors to download photos" option but when I publish my Web Gallery to my .mac account, any one who is able to view the album can easily just grab the image and drag it to the desktop.
    I work in a photography studio and we are trying to be able to post senior sessions to our .mac account website but won't be able to do this if web-savvy seniors can just drag the image onto the desktop and print off the image for FREE!?!?
    Please help if you know how I can "lock" so-to-speak the image to keep them from dragging it to their desktop...

    What's the 'easy way' of grabbing all the images if you've not ticked the box to allow visitor downloads?
    AlisonM said she felt that these galleries are really 'just for fun' - I think that's their prime aim.
    If you look at the way Apple seems to be going with iLife 08 (iMovie being dumbed down being the prime example), it really does seem to be promoting 'Sharing' be it of photos/movie clips/blogs or whatever.
    If you want a good 'sharing' user experience then that has to be simple and accessible or the user's audience won't bother to view their web pages/galleries. The 'sharing' model is not really conducive to promoting your business wares when that happens to be images. As I said, for straightforward web page galleries, there are a multitude of workarounds to grab images. There may well be professional internet image viewing technologies out there which do all possible to prevent image captures but I don't think that we can expect that from a consumer 'sharing' gallery model.
    I strongly suspect that these Galleries are in an early stage of development however and how they end up may well be determined by user feedback. So if you feel strongly send feedback direct to Apple.
    It is already apparent to me that some content in the galleries is rendered when viewing and not at time of publishing - when you initially publish only 2 images go to your iDisk per photo, one is large.jpg (the 3054 size image) the other web.jpg (the one displayed and not downloaded - it is sometimes scaled and reported larger than 800 wide, but the image you can drag to save is 800x600 at most). Other things like reflections and smaller images are generated when you view the gallery. The actual web page HTML and presumably scripts/CSS etc is not in your iDisk, and is probably assembled dynamically when viewing. The beauty of this is that Apple could and probably will add functionality to the Web Galleries over time which may not require you to republish anything. Any new view options/locks could be provided by an iPhoto update.
    Undoubtedly, many would like to re-arrange the order of things in the galleries, or perhaps the ability to lock down the view options to a Flash based Carousel view might deter casual image grabbers. My wish would be to have multiple galleries for different things/hobbies.
    So if you feel there's something you would like send feedback direct to Apple, they might listen they might not.

  • "server agent has time out "issue

    Hi,
    I am developing a report app to generate thousands of report using ReportClientDocument. most of the reports can be successfully exported, but a few hit this error: server agent has time out", when I invoke the following line of code:
    ByteArrayInputStream byteIS = (ByteArrayInputStream) clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
    clientDoc is a instance of ReportClientDocument. is it because clientDoc is time out? when this error is thrown, I checked the status of the clientDoc using clientDoc.isOpen(), and the value is true. any idea why this error happened?

    Do you need to use RAS?
    Can you use the Page Server via the Viewer SDK (ReportExportControl) to get the export instead?
    With regards to scaling for report processing throughput, the Page Server is more efficient than RAS, and the Job Server is more efficient than the Page Server.
    So if your throughput bandwidth exceeds RAS, the recommendation (if you don't want to deploy more RAS servers) is to use the Page Server.   If throughput exceeds the Page Server, then to schedule-wait-stream using Job Server.
    RAS has more overhead, since it's meant primarily for report creation/modification/introspection, where the Page Server is for viewing and export.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda
