Suppressing / Collapsing crosstab columns
If you have a column in a crosstab thats entirely conditionally suppressed, is it also possible to hide/collapse the entire column?
Say for instance, I have columns 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. If 2006 is entirely blank due to some conditional suppressing, is it possible for the crosstab to appear like 2004, 2005, 2007 without the blank 2006 column in between?
Thanks in advance,
Zack H.
Zack,
You probably already know how I'm gonna reply!
Base your report on an SQL command and perform the record selection there. Since no data will get to Crystal for 2006 in your example, no column will show.

Possible to hide but not supress Crosstab column totals?
The reason I ask is because I really don't want to show the whole crosstab column totals section.
Only reason I need the column totals of a crosstab is because I am taking some field values off of it by defining variables using a supression formula.
I then take the variable and make a calculation on the crosstab itself... just not on the column totals.
So simply put,
Any way to 'hide' column totals in Crosstabs? Supressing it in Cross-tab Expert would render my declared variables to zero.Hi Brian.
Unfortunately, the column that would-be hidden using your method would also be something I need to show in the actual Crosstab summary calculations.
Ultimate goal is to show all the summary calculations but just hide the "Column Totals" which also has a supression formula declared in order to use that variable in a display string within a Crosstab summary field.
A bit complicated without showing the Crosstab but that's the best way I can explain it I guess. -
FR Conditional Suppression on Formula Column
If I have 2 columns of data and 1 formula column taking the difference.
Row 1 is Base of Custom1, with conditional suppression on formula column if difference is <$5m
Row 3 is Total custom1
Row 2 is Other (ie [3] - [1].sum)
Row 1 suppresses fine, but row 2 returns zero as [1].sum is apparantly prcessed before the conditional suppression.
I've tried this before with suppression on Data columns and it worked fine. Is there a solution to this?For best practice you should put any calculated rows as the last row, in your example I suggest you move the row 2 (the calculation row [3] - [1].sum) below row 3.
FR seems to calculate each row in turn, moving down the report - therefore it can miss calculations which reference other values or calculations down the sheet. -

Crosstab column width in HTML output
Hi,
I have problem with column width in a crosstab report with html ouput.
I can not find a way to control the column width, and the more I try to control this either with word table properties or with xsl attribute, the more messy it gets!
Now the columns gets superwide and I dont have clue how to control this...
Ant ideas of how to set the column width in the rtf template fot html output?
It looks fine with pdf output...

MagnusThanks for your tip, but I did not do the trick exactly.
Can you get help for this in the User guide? I have read it thru without anything...
Anyway, I couldnt get it right with the Autofit to Window either, I need to set this for specific columns only, but when I do it on the first columns MS Word rearrange the whole table...
Do you use it on certain columns or the whole table?
I have to say, I have a quite complex template with several tables within other tables, and this maight mess things up...

Crosstab Columns Need to be two different date ranges
I'm fairly new to CR and don't know crystal or basic syntax or any coding really.
Using the crosstab expert, I need two columns that are based on a range of dates. Unfortunately the range of dates are not any of the choices I have when I just bring the date into that column box in the expert.
My two columns:
Column 1 = 11/01/2007 12:00:00:00 AM to 10/31/2008 12:00:00:00 AM
Column 2 = 11/01/2008 12:00:00:00 AM to 10/31/2009 12:00:00:00 AM
When I insert a crosstab and use the expert I have two choices for the columns box. I can either create two new formulas or use the group options. I've tried my very inexperienced hand at creating some formulas with laughable results. The group options, although lovely, don't meet my very specific date needs.
Anyone out there have the time to help me? It would be much appreciated.Hello Anne,
Try creating a formula similar to the following;
if in datetime(2007,11,1,12,00,00) to datetime(/2008,10,31,12,00,00)
then "11-2007 to 10-2008"
else if in datetime(2008,11,1,12,00,00) to datetime(/2009,10,31,12,00,00)
then "11-2008 to 10-2009"
and use this formula as the column field in the crosstab. -
NonStandard Month as Crosstab Columns - CR8.5
I have a crosstab report that currently shows items (rows) by customer (columns).
They now wish to use that report to show columns as months. This is easy enough with regular calendar months. However their months are non-standard calendar months, for example.
November-2010 = 29th October to 28th November
December-2010 = 29th November to 26th December
January-2011 = 27th December to 30th January
etc.
Does anyone know how I can set up a formula to allow the grouping of the order dates on these types of date ranges?
I have tried working with a select case statement as in the below example (mostly hardcoded and not really dynamic right now) but it gives the error
"A Cross-Tab column has been specified on a non-recurring field."
As far as I can tell, with all the orders in the system, these columns have recurring data.
Local NumberVar nYear := 2010
Select {Orders.OrderDate}
Case Date (nYear, 10, 29) to Date (nYear, 11, 28) :
sColName := "November-10"
Case Date (nYear, 11, 29) to Date (nYear, 12, 26) :
sColName := "December-10"
Default :
sColName := "Other";
sColName ;
Anyone with any ideas at all? Greatly appreciated. rasincThanks. I went back to basics and did get this working after I got the If statement to work as you suggested. But I hardcoded everything first, then added the variables back in.
Note the issue was the Shared NumberVar nYear := 2010 line. With local variables, it seems to work. Can't use a shared variable in this setup. I have some more work to do but at least I know why it wasn't working. Thanks.
Local StringVar sColName;
Local NumberVar nYear := 2010;
Select {Orders.OrderDate}
Case Date (nYear, 10, 29) to Date (nYear, 11, 28) :
sColName := "November-10"
Case Date (nYear, 11, 29) to Date (nYear, 12, 26) :
sColName := "December-10"
Default :
sColName := "Other";
sColName ; -
Hello. I am new to Discoverer and I had a question about formatting crosstab (outline) columns. The first column lists our employee names, while the subsequent columns have different pieces of information from the employees' expense reports (ie- lodging, transportation, etc). When drilling-down to obtain additional information (ie- destination), there is some blank destination information (showing as a "0'), that I want to format. Here is an example of what the report looks like:
Employee Transportation Lodging Meals
JOE SMITH $100 $200 $100
Miami, FL $50 $75 $25
Atlanta, GA $0 $75 $50
*0* $50 $50 $25
Is there a way to format just the employee/drill-down column to read as N/A instead of '0' without affecting any $0 data in the other columns?
I also tried to create a condition to replace any 0(null) information with something else, but the condition did not work. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you,
ErikSorry, tried that. It formats all of the columns to the same null value of "N.A." So, the $0 example shown above would show up as "N.A.", which I don't want.
I want to get the null drill-down (destination) data to show up as "N.A.", while keeping the rest of the columns as a "0" value for anything null.
Thanks,

I'm creating a crosstab report with a Current Year & a Last Year column. I've added 2 calculated columns to show a variance $ and a variance % between current & last year.
I have no problem coming up with the results. My dilemma is to format the 2 added columns as currency and percentage. When I try to change the percentage column's format to percent, all other columns in the crosstab also change to percent.
Can someone out there tell me if there's a way to create 2 different formats for the 2 added columns? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you very much for your help. I've been struggling with this issue for quite sometime.Hi Fione,
Here's what you need to do:
1) Assuming that the datatype of the field used in the 'column' of the Crosstab is 'Date', right-click the 'Variance $' header cell > Select Calculated Member > Edit ColumnValue Formula and use this code:
Cdate(1890,01,01)
2) To the same for the % column however, use this code:
Cdate(1890,01,02)
3) Right-click one of the summary cells in the 'Variance $' column > Format Field > Number tab > Customize > Currency Symbol tab > Check 'Enable Currency Symbol' > Click the formula button beside 'Position' and use this code:
if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,01) then
crLeadingCurrencyInsideNegative
else if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,02) then
crTrailingCurrencyOutsideNegative
4) Click the formula button beside 'Currency Symbol' and use this code:
if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,01) then
"$"
else if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,02) then
else ""
Note: In both the formulae above, replace "Date_field_used_in_column" with the database field you've used in the crosstab's column. The double quotes ARE NEEDED and make sure to remove any parenthesis that CR automatically addds when you add a database field in the formula editor.
Let me know how this goes.

I have a web intelligence crosstab report which contains 10 pages in the report.Once I select a column and insert a sum for a column the column sum is displayed in the last page footer.Is it possible to display the column sum in the first page in the header of the report so that the users can refer to the column sum as soon as they view the report?Is it possible to add a row beneath the column headers and display the totals there?
hi sridhar,
it is simple, go to last page and click on total, drag and drop the above of table where you see blue border....
it is like a MS WORD (ms office) Header type.
Thank you.

Use average of crosstab columns in a calculation in the crosstab.
Using XI R2 I have a crosstab where I need to have the average weeks sales i.e. the sum of one row divided by the number of columns. I've done this in two ways -
=Average([Forecast Weeky Qty]; IncludeEmpty)
=[Forecast Weeky Qty]/Count([Forecast Weeky Qty])
both of which return the correct value provided it is displayed in a cell outside the crosstab. The problem is if that variable is used in the crosstab it just displays the [Forecast Weekly Qty] for that column i.e. it's not doing the calculation at summary level as I need.
How can I create an average that will display in the crosstab as the same figure in each column (the overall average) and can therefore be used to calculate another row in the crosstab?
eg
Sales - 50, 50, 75, 25, 50 should give average of 50. What I get when I put it in crosstab is
Avge - 50, 50, 75, 25, 50 WRONG. What I want is
Avge - 50, 50, 50, 50, 50
Thanks
JohnNo, your query doesn't work as illustrated below. Your SQL returns views. Your SQL returns rows that have data that isn't null in them because it relies on the table analyze data which will be out of date when the query is being run.
select * from user_tab_columns u
where u.HIGH_VALUE is null;
no rows selected
SQL> CREATE TABLE test1
a NUMBER
Table created.
SQL> select table_name from user_tab_columns u
where u.HIGH_VALUE is null;
TABLE_NAME
TEST1
SQL> CREATE VIEW test_view AS
SELECT * FROM test1;
View created.
SQL>
SQL> select * from user_tab_columns u
where u.HIGH_VALUE is null;
TABLE_NAME
TEST1
TEST_VIEW
SQL> INSERT INTO test1 (a) VALUES (1);
1 row created.

Help...
In my HTML based crosstab, how can I change the column widths? I have experimented with HTMLColumnSizing and cellMaxWidth, but I can not get my display to behave as I wish.
What I'd like, is each column to be the same specific width, where column headings have their text wrapped.
I've set cellMaxWidth to 1, but I do not get the deired results.
Thanks in advance
Dylan.I tried the following code and this worked fine...
<%! public static final String CROSSTAB_ID = "untitled1_Presentation1"; %>
<%
Object ct = pageContext.findAttribute(CROSSTAB_ID);
((ThinCrosstab) ct).setHTMLColumnSizing(oracle.dss.gridView.GridViewCommon.ABSOLUTE_COLUMN_SIZING);
((ThinCrosstab) ct).setCellMinWidth(05);
((ThinCrosstab) ct).setCellMaxWidth(10);
The previous posting suggested using:
((ThinCrosstab) newView).setHTMLColumnBlockSize(10)
however this is used to control the navigation process for scrolling left and right across the columns.
Hope this helps

Hello,
I'm searching for same advice, hint ... I need to make column subtotals in crosstab
I have crostab like this
january 2011 February 2011 March 2013 December 2014 TOTAL
product1 5 6 7 8 26
product2 1 2 3 4 10
Product can be more, and usualy I have data from every month this abowe is only example, also time interval is set by user (report parameters)
everything works OK but now I need to make a subtotal after every year :
january 2011 February 2011 subtotal March 2013 subtotal December 2014 subtotal TOTAL
product1 5 6 11 7 7 8 8 26
product2 1 2 3 3 3 4 4 10
I thing it must be done by adding calculate member, but I can't reach data from dataset since I have crostab in header.
Could someone explain me how to do this ?
Thanks for any helpHi Jakub,
Here's what you need to do:
1) While in the Preview Mode, right-click the header cell of the first column in the crosstab (In the example above, it is the January 2011 column) > Select Calculated Member > Insert Column.
A blank column with zero values is inserted.
2) Right-click the header cell of this Blank Column and select Calculated Member > Edit Header formula and type in this text:
"Subtotal"
3) Right-click the header cell again and select Calculated Member > Edit Insertion Formula. Type in this code:
GetColumnGroupIndexOf(CurrentColumnIndex) = 1
AND
if CurrentColumnIndex <> GetNumColumns - 2 then
Year(GridRowColumnValue("Date")) <>
Year(GridRowColumnValue("Date", CurrentColumnIndex + 1))
else
Year(GridRowColumnValue("Date")) = Year(Maximum({Date}))
AND
Month(GridRowColumnValue("Date")) = Month(Maximum({Date}))
Note: In the above code, replace "Date" with the Date field used as Column in the Crosstab. The double-quotes are necessary and make sure to remove any parenthesis that CR automatically adds when a field is used in a formula.
Similarly, in the part where it reads Year(Maximum({Date})), replace {Date} with the Date field in the Crosstab however, this time use the parenthesis as in the code.
This should insert the Subtotal Column before a new year starts.
4) Next, right-click one of the zero values in the Subtotal column > Calculated Member > Edit Calculation Formula and use this code:
local currencyvar x;
local numbervar i;
local numbervar cindex := CurrentColumnIndex;
for i := 0 to cindex-1 do
if year(GridRowColumnValue("Date",i)) =
year(GridRowColumnValue("Date",cindex-1)) then
x := x + GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, i, CurrentSummaryIndex);
x;
Let me know how this goes.

Also, I'd like to show column headings as mmm yyyy instead of yyyymm. I tried a formula but got Feb 2010 in all columns althought the tool tip showed the same field after applying the formula as before.
Finally, I'd like the grp2 total label to be the row value in grp1. Does this make sense?
Thanks.

As of right now I have a cross tab which displays data with years from 2008-2018 as columns. Sometimes we have data for only 2 or 3 of these years where the cross tab dynamically displays columns only for the years available.
However, what I would like to happen is to statically control the column fields so by default it displays 2008-2018 as columns, and not what is in the data.
Thanks,
EvanWhat V said is correct: If you want a column in a cross tab, there has to be data in your data source to create it. You therefore have to "force" the data to be there. In SQL, it might look like this:
select distinct year, 0 as sales
from calendar /* assuming you have a calendar table */
union all
select year, total as sales
from sales
