Underline a Hierarchy after a specific level in crystal reports

hello,
i have a requirement to create a report in crystal from a BEx query with a hierarchy.
1) in the report, they want to show the first 3 levels of the hierarchy (total of 4 levels) on the report at startup, and after every 3rd level, they want a underline from one side of the report to the other.
2) the third level in the hierarchy is sorted in a specific way in that, the total field is last. i have the group sorted in the original hierarchical way, but yet it is still in alphabetical order.
andy thoughts on these two issues?
thx in advance.
erik

If I understand, Either
Draw a line across the bottem of the 3rd group footer
or
split the section for the 3rd group footer, make the last section narrow with a different backgroud color

  • Report using GL Hierarchy directly from a cube in crystal reports

    Hi,
    I am trying to build a crystal report showing GL account hierarchy ( a P n L report). When I am trying to source this field from the BW cube directly its not showing up on the report preview at all. 
    I built something similar with hierarchy using a Bex query which worked fine. I am curious what it is that could possibly be missing here.
    Let me know if you need more information from me to explain the issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Varun

    Hi,
    when you use the BW query you should have the hierarchy in Crystal Reports.
    When you connect to the cube directly you should see all the hierarchies from the cube.
    take a look here:

  • BW hierarchy variable not working in Crystal Report 2008

    Hi,
    I have created BEx 7.0 report which has hierarchy on 0customer object, the report is working fine whith hierarchy variable. I have created Crystal Report by using this query as source. I have followed below link to create grouping to get data through hierarchy variable.
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BWHierarchiesinCrystalReports
    But report does not work for hierarchy variable and report is blank. When I give filter of child node which has actual data then I get report output. For ex.
    Below hierarchy for 0customer
    11396
         - 737007
         - 123456
    When I run report for 11396 then no data display but when I run 737007 child node I get report output but with blank group name.
    Can anyone came accross this issue. Please guide me . Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Ingo for your reply..
    The word filter means, I have hierarchy node variable in the BEx report that has become Parameter in CR. When I give hierarchy node variable value of parent node then there is not data display but for the child node I get the data.
    For ex. In the info cube there is data for 730707 customer but in the customer hierarchy the parent node of 73707 is 11396. I am giving 11396 in the variable pop screen for hierarchy variable. I do not see any data but for 73707 I get data.
    User does not know 73707, he always enter 11396 customer no. and he gets data in BEx query that is source of CR. but crystal report is not showing data for 11396.
    One more point I want to tell here, I am saving CR at my local system not to SAP BW server.
    Hope this clear my issue.

  • Function Sequence Error -- After upgrading to Crystal Reports 2008

    Since we intergrated Crystal 2008 in our application, We are having the ODBC DRIVER ERROR "S1010, Function Sequence Error"
    The following steps reproduces the error.
    I open any crystal report(using my application) and close it.
    And then I try to close another dialog in my application.
    The destructor of that dialog has the DELETE FROM TMPRPT WHERE  etc... But actually the TMPRPT table is empty.
    But This Scenario in general, does not produce any error. Only after I open and close Crystal report, and when the TMPRPT table doesn't have any records, executing the above DELETE sql throws CDBException, Funciton Sequence Error.
    Is it because of the upgrade/mismatch of dlls? Can any one help how to work around this?
    Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    I would like to thank you for your helpful advice. your tips for odbc tracing really works.
    Just to simplify things, I have created a simple mfc dialog based application that opens a connection using CDatabase in the initdialog and closes the connection in the destructor(because that is how we do in our main large application). On the dialog i put a "Print" button and when i click it, I open a crystalreportform and fill the connectioninfo structure and then call SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument). on the Form_closed function, I close database connections  and close the report document.
    When I come back to mfc application I execute a Delete from table where 1 =0, basically any delete/update that return empty recordset and it throws function sequence error.

  • Crystal report running total explodes after adding a low-level characterist

    I've profit center hierarchy, suppressed to show only level 5 of the hierarchy in crystal report and the report has Group1:Division, Group2:Company Code and Group3:Profit Center hierarchy and I have summary at each group level.
    and now when I click on  a profit center, I want to drill-down to show all customers for that profit center, sales document and few other characteristics.... that I want to add to the details.
    After adding these characteristics to the details, the Summary at group division is not right for the AR Balance and I've other key figures and Iam sure they are also not correct. Any help with fixing this issue will be appreciated. Thanks.

    To prepare a computer for sale or donation, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
    If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
    If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you paid for an upgrade OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall  the original OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.)
    The new owner will have to repurchase the software, if need be, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer them either.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

    Is what you're saying that you only want backups in TM of the state of your Mac from January 2015 to the current date and nothing before then? I'd think the simplest solution would just be to delete in TM all the backups prior to 1/15 and then let TM do its thing. The ultimate source for all things Time Machine is here. On this page, note the comment that "Time Machine will never delete the backup copy of anything that was on the disk being backed-up at the time of any remaining backup" which I understand to mean that if you delete all the backups in the TM file prior to 1/15, any file that wasn't present on your Mac as of 1/15 will no longer be represented in the TM file. Note that the second link also has instructions for how to delete TM files.
    If you were trying to accomplish something else, then as Emily Litella (Gilda Radner in SNL) used to say, "never mind."

  • Can I set a book created by iAuthor so that it expires after a specific time? I am concerned that company created books will be lost if the iPad is lost.

    Is it possible to have books created by iAuthor in an enterprise expire after a specific time? The books contain company intellectual property that might be lost if an iPad is lost. If the books could be "checked out" like a library book for a specific period of time after which it would become unreadable, it would minimize the concern.

    To the best of my knowledge, iBooks and the iBooks Author have no expiration date possible. At least it's not anything I can find mentioned in any of the developer documentation. Many libraries use OverDrive's services, but I don't know if they offer their services to companies.
    There are tools that can set an expiration data on a PDF, but whether any of those offer support in iOS I don't know; the couple I checked (PDF Security OwnerGuard and LockLizard) do not appear to.

  • Outputting a specific level of Content Parent

    I've taken a look at the Developer Guide and the Javadoc Reference but couldn't find an answer to my question.
    Is there a way to either:
    - Read Content Parent assets, but at a specific level (depth) only, in order to output them (e.g. in an HTML option list) or
    - When reading Content Parent Assets are you able to identify what level (depth) an item is, in order to only output a specific level
    E.g. if I have a 'Location' taxonomy of Region > Country > State and define this into a Content Parent structure of the same to create assets of: Asia Pacific > Australia > NSW.... how can I read the Content Parent assets and output a list of only Countries?
    Not sure on tag or API... but assume there is some way?
    Cheers

    You will have to use filed copier in parents i.e. in countries and regions.
    parentRegion- this attribute will hold the name value of region parent
    parentCountry- this attribute will hold the name value of Country parent
    This way your asset will inherit the both the values for Region and countries and then you can search state on Countries which have the same region giving you the list you require.
    For e.g.
    NSW will have country as Australia and region as Asia Pacific.
    Now you will apply search state for all countries having attribute Region as Asia Pacific
    You can also refer FirstSite for this. They have used this for Navigation instead of Dropdown.

  • Jump on breakpoint after a specific number of loop passes

    Hello,
    I want that the debugger in teststand 3.1 jumps on the breakpoint in a while loop after a specific number of passes.
    how can I configure teststand, that this is possible?
    regards samuel

    After placing a breakpoint on a specific test-step, you can make a right-click on the breakpoint (right-click directly on nthe "Stop"-Symbol). In the Dialog you can set conditions (in your case this condition could be "Step.Result.PassFail==true") and a Pass Count, that will define how often the condition has to be true before the breakpoint really breaks the sequence.

  • Crystal Reports in 8.5 not reporting correctly after upgrade

    Has anyone experienced issue running Crystal Reports after upgrading to BI 7.0?
    Specifically our finacial reports will not show detail level descriptions from BW queries created in 3.5 with hierarchies.
    All was functioning fine last time we checked prior to upgrade. We have tried setting the display level in the heirarchies from the queries and even creating from scratch but Cost Element Descriptions do not appear.

    Thanks for the hints.  I took out the databind() and it still throws the same error. 
    Also, I tried adding
    crReportDocument.SetParameterValue("pi_letters", "LETTERXXX")
    just before setting ReportSource and I get the following error:
    Failed to open the connection
    This confirms to me that the push method is not being used by the application/report since the report is still trying to open a connection with the database and is throwing this error when the logon credentials are not supplied.
    Can someone tell me why the push method is not working here?  I have a valid dataset, so my thinking is that I shouldn't have to go through the trouble of supplying parameters and logon credentials to the report.

  • BW-Hierarchy node variable in Crystal Report

    Hi crystal gurus,
    I am creating a report on top of BW-Query Using SAP toolbar. We are having a Hierarchy node variable for WBS Element in our Bw-Query.
    Now that hierarchy node variable is not behaving properly in crystal reports.
    When I execute Query at BW side it Provides me with proper result, say for example if i execute the query for a WBS element "X" and that element consists of other elements inside it like A, B, C etc then at BW side it gives me proper data considering all the WBS elements but in Crystal reports the Data returned is just for the Specified WBS element, i.e it return me data specific to WBS element "X" only.
    Any Ideas why this is happening and how to resolve this?
    Any help will be Appreciated.
    Thanks & regards
    Neeraj

    Hi Debi,
    thank you very much for your reply, but i am afraid that you may have misunderstood my Question.
    Actually I am using a hierarchy node variable, and as usual that hierarchy node has certain level. so when i m executing the report in CR say for node value/level  L1 then it provides me data specific for the node L1 only but logically it should provide me with data of node L1 and all other nodes below L1& that is not happening in my case. while whenever i m executing the same report with same values at BW Side it provides me proper result I.E. it provides me data for node L1 and all other nodes below it.
    Hope this makes my Ques clear.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Control User Specific button in ALV report

    Hi,
    Can anybody please suggest me how to control "USER SPECIFIC" button in ALV report layout using authorization object. I mean if you can tell me which authorization object is responsible to control the "USER SPECIFIC" button.

    additional info to what Lakshmi already said:-
    normally the restrictions for saving layouts/display variants are done at 2 levels:
    1) The developer of an ALV list first predetermines the authorization in the 'i_save' parameter within the code.
    I_SAVE = ' '     -
    layouts cannot be saved
    I_SAVE = 'A'   -
    user-specific and cross-user layouts can be saved
    I_SAVE = 'X'   --- cross-user layouts can be saved
    I_SAVE = 'U'  ---  user-specific layouts can be saved
    2) The second level comes to us restriciting the S_ALV_LAYO which gives access to users to save global layouts if I_SAVE for that particular transaction is A or X.
    for example, a report has I_SAVE= 'A', which means
    it will allow to save  User-specific  layouts without any restrictions.
    and if user has S_ALV_LAYO then he can save both User-Specific and Global Layouts(variants).
    it would be better to keep this object separate.

  • No link to the local .avi files after exporting Crystal report as .pdf

    Hello all,
    The overall scenario is like-
    My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report.  Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
          Now, I take one Text Object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
          "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
    EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2,  3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
         Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
         But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object , it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
    I stick to this problem. What should be done in this case?
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • No link after exporting Crystal report as pdf file

    Hello,
              If my Crystal Report contain link to the .avi file saved on the local hard disk and if I export the Report as .pdf file, pdf file does not contain that link. Why?

    Taken from CR Help File:
    "PDF format is a page-based format. The exported documents are intended for printing and redistribution. PDF format will export both layout and formatting in a manner that is consistent with how the report looks on the Preview tab. PDF format embeds the TrueType fonts that appear in the document. (Non-TrueType fonts are not supported.) This export format does not support Microsoft font-linking technologyu2014which is used to provide support for some extended character sets such as Chinese HKCS. Therefore, the fonts used in the report must contain all of the required glyphs. These URI types are supported for hyperlinks: "http:", "https:" and "mailto:".
    Therefore your hyperlink is not working as u are using File type when cr only supports http https and mailto uri types
