Sort Formula Field
Hi
I have a similar issue....
I have a report that's looking for Turnbacks,Total Trips and Turnback Percent of total trips grouped by Vendor.
Report Layout
Date (Group1)
Vendor (Group2)
Under group Vendor I have summarized fields...
Date 20101119
Vendor Id Sum of Turnbacks T otal Trips Turnback Percent of total Trips
123 50 100 50%
456 10 100 10%
789 100 100 100%
Date 20101120
Vendor Id Sum of Turnbacks Total Trips Turnback Percent of total Trips
123 60 100 60%
456 20 100 20%
789 100 100 100%
I would like to sort the Turnback Percent of total Trips field in descending order. But it does not appear in neither(Group or Record) sort option.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Based on the Turnback field (DB value/number) the formula TB assigns a value of 1 or 0. This value is later summed at Vendor group level.
The percent formual is based on the previous sum value (at vendor group leve) and the total count of trips (at vendor group level).
for example:
If the Sum is 20 and the totla trips is 100 then the percent is 20.
Percent Formula
sum(turnback, Vendor ID) % Count(Trips, Vendor ID)
Thanks!

I am using CR Professional 11.5 on Windows XP/Progress platform.
I have a formula field that calculates the GM% on the Employee Group Footer level and want to sort the employees in descending order by GM%. I have gone in circles trying to calculate this field differently in order to be able to perform a Group Sort but this GM% cannot be summarized, which would allow me to use the Group Sort Expert.
The fact that GM% is used in businesses world-wide each and every day makes this unbelievable that it should prove to be this difficult. Is there something that I am missing as a newbie to CR design?
Any help provided is greatly appreciated!
Marlene HumanThat's so awesome! If only I knew how to use sql commands! Everytime I try to create one it has errors that I dont' understand. Do you know of a site for sql syntax that might help me to do this? I have looked and can't find what I need to make this happen.
So what I need to do is to use 'Formula Workshop' and create a new SQL Expression Field? Using the formula above, how would this look in SQL?
Thank you so much for your help...I am so grateful!!! I have been working on this for months and keep hitting this snag. I first started out using a cross-table and got confused because you can't summarize the GM% so I then changed the summary to 'weighted average of GM% with Tech/Rev' so that helped, but the Total per Employee has been keeping me stumped.
Thanks again. -

Frield 1 is group on Date (Group1)
Field 2 is group on workstation (Group 2)
Field 3 is a formula field Sum(Amt).
The Report will look like below when displaying the Group Footer #2 (workstation) line.
Date Workstation Amount
11/01/2010 A 2,550
11/01/2010 B 55,000
11/03/2010 D 78,200

Everytime I try to do a sort on the formula field below, I can't sort on the field. It doesn't even show the field in the explorer window to sort on. The formula is below.
Sum ({fct_CurrentSales.Cases}, {@upc}) /
(tonumber(Maximum ({vw_dim_Product.CA_MPN_JMelBoxesPerPallet}, {@upc}))) / {Command.Previous Fiscal Month}Sorting is done at record level and you're using a sum in your formula as well as a maximum value. Not sure about what is being done in the {@upc} formula but it may be affecting it as well.
Look at your user guide and look up the multiple passes CR makes and what is done in each pass.
(I used to keep a copy of the multiple pass flowchart on the wall above my computer as it contains good information on what can be done and when during the report generation.)
Sum ({fct_CurrentSales.Cases}, {@upc}) /
(tonumber(Maximum ({vw_dim_Product.CA_MPN_JMelBoxesPerPallet}, {@upc}))) / {Command.Previous Fiscal Month} -
Chart Expert - Why are some formula fields not available?
I have a report where I had to do Running Totals with formulas. Following what I learned long ago from the documentation, I laid in my formulas, and then setup some "Display" formulas to print out the results at the end of my report.
Now I am adding a chart to show a sort of 'summarized' version of the report - its a simple Pie chart...
But when I go into the Chart Expert and want to select those Display formula fields (there are 4 of them) - they do not appear in the list?
FYI - These four Display formulas are in the Report Footer of the report, and my chart is in the Report Header.
Why do some of my formula fields appear in the Chart Expert "select field" list - while others do not?
I checked the documentation on this, but it is very "lite" and does not indicate why this might be...
Any help is most appreciated!Read again - "Problem has been circumvented" NOT "worked around". In other words, when you pay a fortune for a poorly documented piece of software and you are dependent on answers from a Forum, where at times no one answers your question(s) and your boss is shouting at you as to how you selected such a lousy piece of software with such "lite" documentation and is hardly going to pay any more money for a support call to answer a simple question that should have been covered (and then some) in the documentation, (let alone support of the problem) - you CIRCUMVENT, i.e. give up and find some other way to do what you were trying to do.
Hence, problem circumvented, NOT worked around.

Select records based on formula field
I have a formula field that I am trying to sort data by. I want to eliminate records that come up with a 0 in this formula field. I tried select expert, but it doesn't recognize the field.
Hi Steve,
You cannot sort on a formula field that uses printime functions or executes in the 'whileprintingrecords' phase - example would be running totals or formulae based on shared variables from the subreport.
What you can however do is, suppress records where the formula returns zero.
To do this, go to the Section Expert > Select the section you wish to suppress > Click the formula button beside 'Suppress' and use this code"
{@Formula_name} = 0

Hi,
I need help on system action "Sort rows". What format the field "sort formula" has?
Edited by: Eugene Balakhonov on Apr 15, 2008 3:17 PMHi,
the formula is of type string, and it represents the sorting order.
the expression is a string expression that is evaluated against each object in turn and returns the string value the defines the position of the object in the sorting order.
after passing on all the dataset's objects the infoset cursor points on the first object in the newly sorted infoset.
so far the technical stuff..
for example:
for objects:
FIRST_NAME | LAST_NAME
1 Kenny Smith
2 John Smith
3 George Bush
SORT(@LAST_NAME & "," & @FIRST_NAME)
this will sort all the object in lexicographic order, i.e. Smith, John before Smith, Kenny and After Bush, George.

How to appear a formula field for once at a fom-like report?
Hi All,
I have created a formula field and then set the property "Maximum Records per page" to the value 12 for the repeating frame containing this field and all other fields.
Now I want to make an exception for that formula field
I want it to be appeared only for one time not 12 times!
how to do this Plz?Hi,
I assume that your formula column is at a higher level than your repeating frame (in other case it's not clear which value you want to display). Bring the filed representing the formula column behind the repeating frame, then it's diplayed only once.

Error when embedding a formula field in a text box in a subreport
I am rewriting an application that merges data from a .net application into a Crystal Report template and displays it in the application. In VS2003, I have had no problems with the reports as they are written. In VS2010, I get an unusual error on some reports with subreports.
In one report I have multiple subreports. In those subreports, I have formula fields. If I take one of those formula fields and embed it into a Text Box and attempt to generate the report through the application, I get the following error:
This field name is not known.
Details: errorKind
Error in File Confirm {20564DCB-5CA4-4832-8931-DF1CC6C54784}.rpt:
Error in formula optionStrike:
'{Command.OPTIONSTRIKETIME}'
This field name is not known.
Details: errorKind
If I take the very same field out of the text box and put it directly on the report, the report will generate without error.
In the case above, OPTIONSTRIKETIME is a string field. This rules out any conversion errors from a date/number/etc to string for the text box.
Has anyone else encountered this error? If so, what can be done to avoid it?Hello,
Thank you for the info.
Which driver are you using for the dataset?
If you are using ADO.Plus add this to your App.Config file:
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
Thank you

Not able to clear out a formula field value when variables are equal to 0
I am trying to calculate the difference between a formula field from a main report and a formula field from a subreport. When i run the report i get a correct difference calculation only when both formula fields have a value different than 0. When both values are 0 then the difference calculation shows the last item quantity from the formula field in the subreport that had different values than 0. It looks like the difference calculation is not being clear out before jumping to the next value calculation.
try to clear the variable values once done with calculation like
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar i:=0;

How to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal Reports
I want to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal reports.
When i'm using it shows an error.
Please suggest me....Hi,
Use DistinctCount keyword directly for your calculation instead of count(distinct(....
Alternatively, if you want to avoid duplicate records, under "File" > "Report Options" make the 'Select Distinct Records' as True.

How can we pass a formula field of Main report to SubRepor's Parameter. in CryastlReport 11
Post Author: Nikhil
CA Forum: General
Hi
Crystal Report version : 11.0.0.1282 Standard
There is MainReport1. Other is Subreport1
Scenario :
MainReport1 having paramater PdateMain1 as dateTime.
SubReport1 having parameter dateSub1 ,dateSub2.
datesub1 is used for One datasource1 (DataSource- XML -from webApplication) , dateSub2 is used for datasource2 (DataSource-SQl Procedure ) ( This is requirement as i need to used two datasource )
Value of datesub1 and datesub1 is same (it is created automatical as it is part of SQLProcedure and XML Query ) but get prompted twice for the same valuewhich is not desirable. so for that i have created main report and calling this subreport in main report.
Now i want's to pass PdataMain1 to Parameter datesub1 and datesub2. I am able to pass PdataMain1 to datesub1. through Change Sub report link ( Option on right click of report).and it is working fine,
Problem :
But Subreport link Menu does not allow to bind PdateMain1 to datesub2 as it is allready bind with datasub2.
to overcome this i created one Formula field in main report as fMaindate1 which copy date from Parameter PdateMain1.and bind ( link) the fMaindate1 to datesub2. when i link this , subreport does not display any thing at all. It it a limitation of crystal report or i am missing some thing , Is it like that we can pass formula of ,main report to subreport Paramater in Crystal 11 Standard , if we can anyone please Provide help on this.
This can be easily achieve through application programming but my need to get this done in Report itself.Thanks

Working with 3 Reports -- How to Display Summary/Formula field in Each Repo
I have 3 Report that represent three Company.
Each Company/Report has their report Details and field totals at the bottom.
Now what I am trying to accomplish is that I need to add all three companies grand total and sum it up and display at the bottom of each reports.
FYI, I have created matrix report and i pass user parameter where user can choose which company's report him/her would like to run so for example: if user run Company_1 then at the bottom i want to display all the companies Grand Total.Each reports have 6 columns and all the columns are same in each report except the data change by company. and with the same thing with Company_2, and Company_3
Now, I tried to use create a separate query and tried to use DATA LINK but it didn't work due to very awkward report design.
Is there a way where i can create a formula field and write PL/SQL and display at the bottom of my report.
Please let me know if its possible I will very appreciated.
Thank YouThanks for your reply,
Actually, I would done that before taking Company's parameter off but i have to send out this report to all three companies thats resoan why I put companies paramters.
Also, I have solved that problem by creating new query that will give me total off each company so in my Data Model. I have Q_1 (main query), Q_2 (Company 1 query which give me total for each field), Q_3 (Company 2 query....), Q_4
and call those all fields and RESET AT REPORT level.
so, no mather which company i choose in my parameter field it will give me final total at the bottom of my report for all the departments.
Thank You, -
Crystal Reports XI - How to create a new field using a formula field
I'm quite new to CR, but have been learning quickly!
I would like to know how to automatically create a new record/field based on another field in that row...
I have a report showing the following data:
Run Code Start KM Stop KM Status
H2 100 150 Partial
H2 150 155 Partial
H2 155 160 Partial
S3 120 150 Completed
The status is generated by comparing the 'Start KM' and 'Stop KM' against fields in another table called 'Start Odo' and 'Stop Odo'
In this example...
H2 has 'Start Odo' and 'Stop Odo' values of 90 to 160, therefore there is still 90-100 to check. The 'Start KM' and 'Stop KM' is equal to the 'start Odo' and 'stop Odo' for S3, therefore it shows completed.
My question is how do you create a formula field, which will add an entire row...displaying the values 90-100.
I've been trying to use a conditional check in the 'Start KM' column, that sees if status is equal to partial than if start km is greater than start odo (Which is the reference km) then display the value of start odo in the new row. I'm stuck at how to create a new row.
I want the final result to look like this...
Run Code Start KM Stop KM Status
H2 90 100 Partial
H2 100 150 Partial
H2 150 155 Partial
H2 155 160 Partial
S3 120 150 Completed
Any suggestions would be more than appreciatedHi Adi
Looking at your examples it seems that you want to add a row to the existing recordset (rows fetched from the database).
If it is the case (even if based on a formula) then you can not do it within crystal. Crystal is designed to display data and ideally it should not generate the new data.
However, as per your requirement you can try to add this logic at database end. May be a command object within Crystal Reports can help you.
Let me know if you do not understand anything.
