I am counting unique values in a crosstab, a blank value is also calculated as unique value.
For this purpose, an extra row is then correctly displayed in the crosstab. I would like to hide this row and can't find a way to do this.
For me, only the rows with a real number are relevant.
How do I suppress this complete row?
Crystal has no option to filter crosstab.
So you need to filter the report using a record selection formula.
If you can't filter the whole report because you need the blank cases in other areas of the report, place the crosstab in a filtered subreport.

I've made a crosstab in crystal report like below:
However, as you can see, the ordering is weirld (i.e. the correct one should be like below:)
And the ordering is stored in another field called order, I took a look in the crystal report's cross-tab expert sorting option, it doesn't allow me to order by another column, it only allows me to sort either ascending or descending, how can I set the ordering by another column?
Crosstab's sorting is based on the rows order, if you want to sort it in your on you have to add some extra rows and have to suppress subtotal and Label in Customize Style of Crosstab Expert
Example:
If you have 3 rows(A,B,C) to display and you have to sort it in order like B,C,A then you have to add 2 new rows(B,C) now your Crosstab looks like (B,C,A,B,C) now you have to suppress Rows B and C you meet your both requirements for sorting and display order
But This solution have some limitations like
if you want to export the report in Excel then it will add extra cells in grand total.
otherwise you are good to go.
Example:
If you have 3 rows(A,B,C) to display and you added one row and you suppress it to solve your sorting issue then in Excel its grand total looks like
A B C
a 1 3
b 2 2
---------------------------
Total: 3 5
Yes, you can not sort on another column. You must use any of one column as a header.
In Crystal report, sorting happened based on header column's value (That's why you see as per alphabetic).
I also face this issue and how I solved, that I am explain. You have to use a formula which have order, but either hide it or use a value like in this link.

Second option as per this link. (I think first you check this)

open crosstab expert, highlight the column that you want to reorder, go to Group Options and select in specified order. This will open another tab where you will have your available values listed there. Using the arrows on the right side you can move up or down your values and accommodate them in the order you want them to be displayed.
Simple way would be take order column from stored procedure to cross tab and set the order according to that column.
Then supress the order column and reduce the width of that column to minimum pixel so that it doesn't appear in cross tab.
Make the field you want to sort by a group field and hide it. To hide it, in the Crosstab Expert > Customize Style dialog select this group then use the Group Options area to Suppress Subtotal and Supress Label. Worked for me.
Use the order field as the grouping column and change the label for said column to show the actual sizes. The labels can be changed in Crosstab Expert, Grouping Options and then the tab Options.
Now it is a report with a tablix in which the records are like every row has some details rows under it. and the details row can have one or more records based on the main tablix rows
To elucidate the problem, plz have a look
Did some search here and there, but not able to figure out how to accomplish this.
Sub-reports inside the tablix cell, but how will it keep the track of the current row
One thing more : Do I need to create two separate datasets for this and bind accordingly or write query as a single dataset and do some grouping ?
any ideas !
P.S: SSRS r2 environment, native mode reports for web application
You can achieve this with one Dataset and one Tablix.
The Dataset will have all the columns in the report, with multiple rows for each BIL value.
The Tablix will have four rows and one group based on BIL.
The first row will be the Tablix header row, with the main column header details.
The next two rows will be group header rows. The first row will contain the group details, BIL, No Bayar, etc. The second row will contain the detail row header details.
The last row will be the detail row which will contain the COL1 and COL2 detail values.
You will see something like this (you'll need to fill in the TextBox details as appropriate):
create report with subreport will solve your problem
you can create one report with one dataset with (BIL NoB NoW Est TotalXYZ) columns.
Now link that subreport with the BIL
Now link subreport with main report the BIL (FK)
Hope this help
I have a cross-tab report which similar to this
Problem is when there are no data to one month that column won't appear in the report. I would like to keep the same number of column even there are empty values for the row data.
Is it possible to achieve in cross-tab reports??
Thanks
This is a problem more with the underlying dataset. You have two options:
Modify your query to always return data even for "empty" groups
Hardcode the columns into the cross-tab
Option 1 is probably the best approach. Take a look at this similar question: Handling non existent values in sql query expression for ssrs chart
I am using a crosstab in crystal reports that has 3 grouping levels this can create a lot of subtotals across the rows. Often the subtotal row is useless if there is only one row it is summing from. Is it possible to supress subtotals where there is only one row of data? Leaving the useful subtotals (I know I can suppress the lot).
Illustration below this is how I currently have it:
This is how I would like it to be:
Notice the sub totals for the Middle Grouping B and T have been removed leaving just C as it has two distinct rows below it. To me that looks much cleared and I would be surprised if this can't be achieved.
I recommend skipping the Crystal Crosstab and making your own:
Make a subreport where you want the crosstab to appear (you may not need a subreport, but I'll assume you do).
Group the subreport by your 3 levels.
Drag & drop your fields onto your design however you want them.
In the group footer sections, add some custom field formulas with the sum({number},{group}) for the custom formula.
Using the section expert, suppress the fields as you see fit. The count({number},{group}) would be useful here.
It'll take a fair bit of tweaking to get it right, and of course the columns in your manual crosstab will be fixed, but this allows for the most customization.
Is it possible to hide a row in a crystal reports crosstab?
I have two rows that are only used to calculate a third row and I would like to hide them so only the result is visible to the user.
I have similar problem. I want to display only rows that have specific values and ignore all others.
Here was my solution:
Open Cross-Tab Expert. In Cross-Tab under Rows select your row which should be conditional suppressed. Then select Group Options. This will open Cross-Tab Group Options dialog. Go to Specified Order and add filter. In this case, rows that match your criteria will be displayed in your cross-table all other rows will be placed in one row "Others". Then select tab Others and check Discard all others.
Not directly. I recommend grouping by a custom formula.
For example, let's say you have a crosstab that is grouped by StoreName. StoreName has values groups "A", "B", and "C". You want to combine "B" and "C".
Make a new formula field. Call it StoreName_Combined. In your new formula, enter:
If {StoreName}="B" or {StoreName}="C" then "B+C" else {StoreName}
In your crosstab, use StoreName_Combined instead of StoreName.
Edit
If you look around a little, you may also think about using Cross-Tab Expert->Group Options->Options->Use a Formula as a Group Name, but I couldn't get it to work. The rows stay separate, they just have the same name, which doesn't really help.
