I am working on a report in Crystal Reports 2016. The table used by the report, USER_ADDR, stores the addresses in its ADDRESS column, storing additional information about the address (ex: apartment #) in a second line.
USER_ADDR Table
ACCOUNT_ID
ADDRESS_LINE
ADDRESS
1
1
1234 Orange Ln
2
1
1259 Apple Dr
2
2
APT 209
3
1
4962 Kiwi Pl
I am using the field USER_ADDR.ADDRESS to show the address, but it only shows the first address line, which does not show the complete address if an account has an ADDRESS_LINE of 2.
How would I go about making a formula in Crystal Reports to show all lines of the ADDRESS column when an ACCOUNT_ID has an address where ADDRESS_LINE = 1 and 2.
or
How would I make a formula that only includes an ACCOUNT_ID's address where ADDRESS_LINE = 2
For reference, the report I'm modifying has the below columns:
Account
Address Line 1
Address Line 2
Thank you!
What I've tried: opened the Format Editor and selected the "Can Grow" option, hoping that would allow ADDR.ADDRESS to be multi-line but that did not work.
Use a detail-level formula to declare a global string variable and append the information using Chr(10) + Chr(13) to inject new lines.
Reset the variable in the group header.
Display the result in the Group footer.
Suppress the detail section.

im building a report that has multiple tablix in it and i am grouping each one by name. i want to display each table, grouped by the name so that all of the tables for a particular name are on the same page. for example on the first page of the report i should have something like:
name
address
city
bob
123 main st
los angeles
name
hobbies
age
bob
fishing
44
name
net worth
salary
bob
$2,400,000
$78,000
and then the second page of the report should have something like:
name
hobbies
age
felicia
54 gordon ct
atlanta
name
hobbies
age
felicia
yoga
33
name
net worth
salary
felicia
$750,000
$224,000
where the data for each of these tables comes from either one large query or multiple queries(I've tried it both ways). I have tried multiple approaches to solve this but the one that got me the closest was creating 3 separate subreports (each grouped by name and with page breaks) and putting them all in a main report. When i do this the main report does not respect the page breaks in the subreports and instead puts all of the data for each subreport in a clump like this:
name
address
city
bob
123 main st
los angeles
felicia
54 gordon ct
atlanta
I have also tried creating 3 separate tablixes and putting them one after another with page breaks but the tables dont show up on the same page, so i end up with everything on separate pages
I've tried tinkering with group settings and also tried to use rectangles but get the same output. Can this be done in SSRS?
There are a few ways to do this but my preference would be using a single sub report.
Create a report that takes 'name' as a parameter (e.g. pName). Build the report as normal so it handles just the data that relates to the name parameter, so make sure your dataset query only returns data for the 'pName' provided. Include all three tablixes and whatever else you want.
Test the report and then..
Create another report with a dataset that contains just a distinct list of the names you want to report on.
Add a tablix (table of list) to the report and set it's dataset to be the dataset containing the list of distinct names. This will generate one row per name. Inside the first textbox in the tablix, you need to insert a subreport. Go to the subreport properties, select the report you created at the start of this. In the subreport's parameters section set the pName parameter to the name field of the dataset.
Finally, in the rowgroups panel, go to the rowgroup properties (there will probably only a be a details row group- that's OK) and then set the pagebreak property to 'between each instance'
That should do it.
I am trying to convert an old Microsoft Access report into Crystal reports. I have everything working perfectly except for this last small detail. The Access report uses a DSUM function within an if statement for one of the fields on the report.
After much searching, I've determined that CR doesn't have anything similar.
Here's basically what I'm dealing with.
I have a proposal report. In the details of the report I print the qty, description, and a couple of price fields.
The data looks like something this:
Proposalnum Partitem RolltoItem Unitprice
18611.............1.......... NULL........0.00
18611.............2......... NULL.......17225.92
18611............3............ 2............156.90
18611............4............. 2............482.05
What I need to do is when I print a specific part, I need to query through the rest of the records to find the parts that have a matching number in the rolltoitem field and add the unitprice to the part I'm printing.
So in this example when I print partitem #2, I need to add the 156.90 and the 482.05 from parts 3 and 4 to the 17225.92 so I print a total of 17864.87.
Is there any way to do this?
As far as i know, there is no such function.
But I would try this.
The general idea is: group the data by ProposalNum and use a subreport to select the "children rows" and sum the "children prices".
Details:
Create an empty group section by PartItem.
If you want to show only items where RoolToItem is null, use a suppress function for this case.
In the details section, put a subreport. The data source of the subreport would be the same of the main report.
Change subreport links to select data in subreport based on fields: PartItem in the main report = RolltoItem in the subreport.
Pass other fields to the subreport without select data: ProposalNum, PartItem, UnitPrice. I think you need to create parameters in the subreports before doing that - example: ParentProposalNum, ParentPartItem, ParentUnitPrice.
Create a new formula: ParentUnitPrice + Sum ({YourDataSource.UnitPrice})
Put the formula in the subreport footer a long with the other fields. Maybe: ParentProposalNum, ParentPartItem, formula.
It is a theoretical solution. I hope it points out to the right direction.
If you are trying to sum the Unitprice column for all items that have the same value in Rolltoitem, you could do this with a SQL Expression Field. The code would look something like this. My Where clause may need tweaked though since I'm not sure what your database structure looks like.
(
Select Sum("YourDataBaseTableName"."Unitprice")
From YourDataBaseTableName
Where "YourDataBaseTableName"."Rolltoitem" = *currentRolltoitemValue*
)
Syntax can also vary for SQL Expression Fields based upon what type of database you are using. The syntax I provided is fairly general, but should work on SQL Server.
EDIT: Adding example with explanation of how it works.
Here is one of my SQL Expression Fields from a crystal report that prints a Bill of Lading for shipped goods.
(
Select Sum("SHIPMENTS"."PALLET_COUNT")
From SHIPMENTS
Where "SHIPMENTS"."BOL_ID" = "BOL"."ID"
)
In my database the BOL table is the starting point. A single BOL can contain 1 or more SHIPMENTS, and a single SHIPMENTS can contain one or more PRODUCTS.
Top level grouping is on BOL.ID. The PALLET_COUNT is found once and only once on each SHIPMENTS. I also had a sorting requirement for the data in the details section that prevented me from using a Running Total Field.
This allows a BOL with 2 SHIPMENTS that contains a total of 3 products to look like this:
BOL.ID SHIPMENTS.ID SHIPMENTS.BOL_ID PALLET_COUNT PRODUCT.ID
1 10 1 2 XXX
1 9 1 1 YYY
1 10 1 2 ZZZ
The correct PALLET_COUNT for this BOL should be 3, since PRODUCTS XXX and ZZZ are in the same SHIPMENTS and the PALLET_COUNT is duplicated because of its relationship to the PRODUCTS.
I'm currently using the report to print out the information of all the employees using the same format.
For example, here is the employee table in my database.
EmployeeID NAME AGE
----------------------
1 Tom 28
2 John 30
3 Tony 32
I just want to print out the information of the employees using the same format whenever there is other employees in the table. (first employee in first page, second in the second page.....)
Is there any way like that?
You can use PageBreak for each row so you can have a page
To implement this solution:
add the table component to your report
open the DataSet associated with this report and add to it the Group
set Group expression to
(int)($V{REPORT_COUNT} - 1)
check 'Start on a new page' property
see the link for more detail

Crystal Reports Ver 10.5
I have a crystal report which shows up to 9 fields, but user can choose between 1 to 9 fields. I have implemented this using check boxes on a form and user can select any box from 1 to 9 and generate a report. So the report can show from 1 field to 9, and any columns can be any field at a given time. (for eg. the user might select ID, Name, Phone from the form and view report. So the first column in the report becomes ID and so on. If he selected Name and Phone, the first column becomes Name and so on. I have done this using Parameter fields.
Now I would like to bring a vertical separation between columns and Only if the columns has data (Remember there can be 1 to 9 columns having data). I can't put the lines beforehand because they will be shown regardless of the number of fields shown.
Anybody has an idea of how to bring this vertical line between ?
Thanks in advance.
Ok, this might be a weird request, but is it possible to essentially flatten my dataset inside a crystal report?
I have a datatable in C# that was created with a join, so when it hits the report its 2 records. Most of the columns have identical data, with the last few displaying a different address.
Instead of printing the detail section multiple times with mostly similar data, I need to display 1 'record' with the common data printed once, and each records address arranged next it. As in, all the common fields displayed in one area, and then next to that the address fields from the record where 'AddressType = 1', then next to that the address fields where 'AddressType = 2'
Is this a subreport thing? Because even with subreports I can't get it to only print 1 detail section with the data from just the first record.
Is this even possible with crystal? For long drawn out reasons, I can't flatten the data before it gets to the report.
Ok, someone here in the office showed me the way, so I'll put this out there.
Given data with cols A,B,C all common and D,E different across multiple rows, this is how I 'flattened' the dataset in crystal:
Create a group based on col A, and put A,B,C inside that group header - get rid of the details section entirely
Create a subreport in the group header for each row of data, in my case 2 subreports
Inside each subreport, put fields D,E. Important: There are NO links for these subreports!
For each subreport go into the Select Expert and create a condition that shows only 1 particular row of data. This conditional will have the same field for each subreport, but different values. In my case it was AddressType='A', and AddressType='B'
This will produce 1 report, with A,B,C listed once, and D,E listed once for each subreport(once for each row of data)
This was confusing, time consuming, and I hate crystal reports now more than ever.
It would be pretty ugly, but you could add a group for each common field in Group Expert and then display the data for the common fields in the last group header. So if your common fields are field1 through field5, you would create five groups and put all five fields in the group header of field5. Then you would put the unique address fields (call them field field6 through field8) in the details section.
Now the trick is getting everything to line up correctly. You can set "underlay following sections" on the group header for field5; this will cause field1 through field5 to "fall down" into the details section. You just need to make sure that field6 through field8 are all to the right of field1 through field5 so the text does not overlap.
Now, if you want the two address records to print horizontally, I think you will need a subreport with multiple columns for that. But the same principle applies -- just make sure the subreport is to the right of field1 through field5 so the data doesn't overlap.
Have you tried the suppress if duplicated option on each non-address field?
Otherwise, you could group by the common id, put the common fields in that header, and then display the multiple addresses in the details section.
Or, you could remove the addresses from the datasource and use a subreport to fetch this data for each record. This would bypass the join and be the slowest option performance wise, due to having to select the addresses for each record.
Ok, firstly let's see if I understand this right :
You want a report that would be in the format
MainDetails Address(type1)
MainDetails Address(type2)
to instead be in the format
MainDetails Address(type1) Address(type2)
?
Assuming there are only two address types, you can do the following :
1) Group by Main details (whatever the unique entry is
2) Put the address details in the group header next to them, on the right
3) Also put the address details in the details section, but positioned as if they were in the Address(type2) column positions, so it looks like :
GH MainDetails Address
D.......................................Address
4) Next, add a sort to the report on the AddressType field, so that AddressType=1 shows first.
5) Add a conditional suppression formula to the Details section saying {AddressType=1}
6) Using the Section Expert, in the Group Header tick the 'underlay following sections' box
This should work as long as the number of addresses is either 1 or 2.
