Not sure if this is possible, but I thought I would put this out there and see what anyone thought.
Report: I need to track by classroom the parents that have given vs. those that I have not. I had created this awesome report with those that had, but I could never figure out how to pull the parents who hadn't yet in to the report. I need those that have not as well to create a sum and percentage of parents each class. (first query was too narrow, the next one gave too many dates and gifts, which duplicated the names in the report)
So I'm trying a different route and took the data from an Export instead of a Query, but now the "Classroom Guide" field is in a separate column for each child they have at the school.
I need to combine the 4 Guide fields somehow so I can group by them to create the classrooms in the report.
Makes sense?
Example data is like:
first.name;last.name;Guide1;Guide2;Guide3;Guide4;Gift.Date;Gift.Amount

Looking for some advice related to data grouping and printing in Crystal Reports.
I'm working with an order confirmation form. Ideally I would create separate report pages based on a specific field value change for the 'warehouse' field. So, if any given line on an order comes from warehouse A, it prints together. Then we'd get a page break, and we'd see the form repeat for any lines coming from warehouse B.
I've inserted a new group for "warehouse" and configured the group as 'New Page Before.' But when I attempt to print I'm getting an error related to "There must be a group that matches this field". So there must be some pre-existing grouping that I'm not considering. I'm hopeful I can figure this out.
I am interested to get thoughts on overall design, and if the grouping approach I am trying to take is even the correct one.
Somewhere in your report you probably have a formula such as:
Sum({some_value}, {some_field})
where the {some_field} used to be -- but is no longer -- grouped upon.
Fix that expression to set the desired aggregation level (the 2nd argument) to a field you are actually grouping on.
I am working on a crystal report like in the sample image. it has some limited attributes and some attributes that will be repeated. like item id will be repeated for each item and invoice id will be only one in the whole invoice. I am trying to use two different tables one for repeating elements and one for single time elements.
I am facing problem in setting the datasource of the crystal report. how can I set it so that it may fetch data for repeated elements from datatable one and other from datatable two.
Or if you know any other approach for such problem please share.
Problem Solved.
We can use as many datasources as we want. We just need to add them through database expert options.
besides while giving it actual data we can do that like this:
objRpt.Database.Tables[0].SetDataSource(list_of_objects_of_data_sources);
objRpt.Database.Tables[1].SetDataSource(list_of_objects_of_data_sources2);
this also shows that we can provide data to crystal report through list of obects instead of datatables. we just need to set the references in the database expert as those class objects.
like in the figure
In our system, it shows each charge as a record, despite the account being the same.

How would I go about doing this?
Also, is there a way to show it like this even though they are all seperate records?
Option 2
You can solve this using sub reports.
In main report take distinct record and place the fields Account and city in detail section.
Now take sub report and place it after the first 2 columns in detail section but take care that you won't select the option distinct records that means you retrieve all records. In sub report place Charge type, charge fields
I have a master report (using iReport 5.0.4) with a subreport that uses grouping by a field called "Group Number" (sorry, but that is the actual column name).
My report works fine when there are more than one group, but it generates each group result scrolling down the page vertically.
I would like to be able to have each group go across vertically, but when I tried using columns, it simply forces each group's data into columns, and not the entire group 1, followed by group 2 in the next column, etc.
There can be up to 8 groups, so I was hoping not to have to create 8 individual sub-subreports with a "print when" expression to show/hide them.
Can anyone tell me if this should be possible?
Thanks,
Mitch
I think making subreports is the easiest and obvious way. But if you want to make it in other way, I can only suggest to use scriptlet, and form dataset manually (Transpose it).
Another suggestion is when you generating report directly from database (i.e. passing connection into jasper) you can modify query and transpose the data (PIVOT table).
Anyway provide more info about your case. I will try to help you.
I'm using Crystal Reports 10 right now and I have my report almost finished. I have a group of customers and for each customer, I have multiple lines of customer information. The one thing I'm still trying to figure out though is how can I get a running total of one column's distinct values.
So, for example I have a customer Bob who has 6 different items. For each item, there is a manufacturer. It might be the same for all 6 items, it might be one for 3 of them and another for the other 3, or they might all be different. What I want is to have a field at the bottom of the group for Bob that would say:
Man1 - 3
Man2 - 1
Man3 - 2
with the manufacturer being on the left side and the number of items they make for that customer on the right side.
Is there anything in Crystal Reports that can do this right now? Or can someone give me some advice on where I would get started on a formula to do this? Thanks for any help you guys can give.
Need more information:
What kind of data structure are we talking about? How are the manufacturer and item data found? How are these related to the customer? How many manufacturers/items are typically found per customer?
If the manufacturer and items are two different fields, that might be simple (cross tab in customer group). If they are free form, that might be a problem. If there are separate fields for every manufacturer (I've see it happen), then that might be a problem.
Best scenario:
One field for manufacturer, one field for item, distinct relation to customer.
Possible solution:
Group by customer, sub-group by manufacturer, count of items.
Not best scenario:
Table for customer, separate table for each manufacturer.
Possible solution:
Main report, group by customer. Linked subreport on Manufacturer/items.
Worst scenario:
Free-text entry of manufacturer and items in a memo field.
Possible solution:
Redesign your database (grin).
If you have to, you can do this using logic tests through formulas, but if you have many manufacturers/items, it would get exhaustive.
Best answer: More information.
