I am working with Crystal Reports 11.5.10.1263 [CR Developer Type: Full].
I am familiar with Programming and SQL syntax in general and have worked with expressions in SSRS & MS Access but never in Crystal Reports.
Problem:
I modified the SQL in the Crystal report and it has had the desired effect - except in the last part of the report output - where the changes I made to the SQL do not have the desired effect.
The 'desired effect' is that when a field named 'FundNumber' has the values '2595', '2597' Then the field named 'Organization' should be assigned the value '41600'.
The Detail Record in the Report has the following three rows as part of its 'Formula':
+ IIf({Data.Payments} > 0, "+01W ", "-01W ")
+ Left({Data.FundNumber}+ SPACE(6),6)
+ Left({Data.Organization}+ SPACE(6),6)
I want to change the Data.Organization row to an IIF Statement that says [pseucode]:
IIf Data.FundNumber IN ["2595", "2597"] Then "41600" Else Data.Organization
I believe the Left() function is saying 'return the left 6 characters of [Data.Organization + 6 Spaces] ?? and that it has to do with the way the data is presented in the output.
I would appreciate help with creating the IIF statement for this.
I included the 'IIf({Data.Payments} ...' row in case that helps - as my google searches have turned up examples that use IF instead of IIF.
Thanks!
The syntax most of the time is the same as VB. Try
IIF({Data.FundNumber} = "2595" or {Data.FundNumber} = "2597", "41600", {Data.Organization})

Dynamic parameter of table name in Jasper [duplicate]
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have this problem with the JasperServer report I'm trying to create:
I have several db tables, named using a name and a date like this:
TABLE_NAME_YYYYMMDD
I want to be able to choose (and do a select from) the table which corresponds to the date submitted by the user from an ordinary Date input control.
I've tried creating a variable (called TABLE_NAME) which uses Java expressions for parsing the date like:
"MY_TABLE_" + new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd").format($P{RUN_DATE})
and when I print the value of the variable in the report it looks correct. But then I tried using that variable name in the SQL query like:
SELECT column1,column2.. from $V{TABLE_NAME}
but when I tried running the report in Jaspersoft Studio I got this Exception:
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Error executing SQL statement for: my_report_x.
at com.jaspersoft.studio.editor.preview.view.control.ReportControler.fillReport(ReportControler.java:511)
at com.jaspersoft.studio.editor.preview.view.control.ReportControler.access$20(ReportControler.java:486)
So it doesn't seem to be working.
I read about the case when the whole table name can be specified in a parameter, and you're supposed to use:
$P!{tableName}
First I tried using that '!' with the variable name like:
..from $V!{TABLE_NAME}
but I got the same Exception.
Then I tried creating a new parameter instead, where "Is For Prompting" is Not checked, and as default value expression I put the same expression as I used in my variable:
"MY_TABLE_" + new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd").format($P{RUN_DATE})
but I still get the same error when I try to run the report in Jaspersoft Studio.
Does anyone know if there is a way to solve this? -Preferably a way that doesn't take several days to implement since I don't have that time.
I'm using Jaspersoft Studio 6.1.1.final and running the reports in JasperServer 5.5.0.
You should be able to get this to work by wrapping the whole of your FROM expression in the parameter e.g.
<parameter name="pTableName" class="java.lang.String">
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA["from MY_TABLE_" + new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd").format($P{RUN_DATE})]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
And then using this in your SQL as a string literal:
SELECT column1,column2
$P!{pTableName}
WHERE 1 = 1
I just found out what I did wrong.
I admit it was rather stupid, but I only tried running the report in the Preview mode in Jaspersoft Studio. That's when I got the SQL error.
But I assume that the Preview mode does not support dynamic decisions about which table to read from, because when I ignored the Preview errors and published the report to JasperServer, I actually could run it there!
I ended up using the $P!{TABLE_NAME} parameter where the value is what I tried earlier:
"MY_TABLE_" + new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd").format($P{RUN_DATE})
I can print as much as possible of my SQL here (meaning that I have to replace names since this is a work report) if you want to see it:
select c.column1,c.column2, h.column3 from $P!{TABLE_NAME} h, TABLE2 i, TABLE3 p, TABLE4 ca, TABLE5 c
where h.P_ID = p.P_ID and h.A_ID = ca.A_ID and ca.C_ID = c.C_ID and ca.SOME_VALUE = 1 and ca.OTHER_VALUE = 1
and i.I_ID=h.I_ID
and i.OTHER_ID=1
and h.VALUE_X > 0
order by c.VALUE_Y
So my advice to others who create Jasper reports is not to let yourselves get fooled by the fact that some things don't work in Preview mode. -That might just be the "preview limitations".
I have a Form which will help me to filter out the records I want for my Report. The button will open the Report On Click.
This is the code in the button:
Private Sub Open_OEE_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "OEE_Report", acViewReport, , , acWindowNormal
End Sub
I keep getting the error:
I also have placed the query in my report under the Record Source as:
SELECT * FROM 3_OEE WHERE ((([3_OEE].RecordID)=Forms![3_OEE_Report]!cboRecordID) And (([3_OEE].Date_Recorded)=DateValue(Forms![3_OEE_Report]!Date_Recorded)) And (([3_OEE].MC_No)=Forms![3_OEE_Report]!cboMCNo) And (([3_OEE].Product)=Forms![3_OEE_Report]!cboProduct));
I want to search based on one criteria (text box or combo box) and not all four at once.
Am I missing out something?
MS-Access does tend to go a bit overboard with the brackets. Make the report's Record Source a bit easier to read by trimming out the unnecessary ones. You also need to get your date criterion in the right format - Access always uses US formatting in SQL queries and needs # signs around the date:
SELECT * FROM 3_OEE
WHERE [3_OEE].RecordID = Forms![3_OEE_Report]!cboRecordID
And [3_OEE].Date_Recorded = Format(Forms![3_OEE_Report]!Date_Recorded, "\#mm/dd/yyyy\#")
And [3_OEE].MC_No = Forms![3_OEE_Report]!cboMCNo
And [3_OEE].Product = Forms![3_OEE_Report]!cboProduct;
I would also suggest creating a named query for this and setting the report's Record Source to the named query. You can then test the query in isolation without having to run the report (but make sure the Form is open and the relevant controls are populated).
I asked for help from another source.
Answer to Question
We are using this function to filter data by program codes entered, if nothing is entered return all?
Can any one please explain this Crystal function, and how Crystal works with it? Mainly the last statement.
Here is some information that might be useful.
{?Program} ==> Parameter to accept different programs codes in the following form
303&410&110
{Command.program_code} ==> Field were program code is stored
if ({?Program} = "")
then true
else
(INSTR("&" & {?Program} &"&", "&"& {Command.program_code} & "&")>0)
Thanks...
I am a newbie at CR. I have a report that someone else created. When I use the Database -> 'Show SQL Query' command the WHERE clause has a bunch of names. How can I find out where this list of names is coming from?

I knew as soon as I posted the question I would find the answer :)
You've got some choices. It's either:
In the record selection formula (Report > Edit Selection Formula > Record)
Hard-coded in the "Show SQL Query" window (though not as likely)
In a parameter that was either saved with the report, or contains default values (even less likely)
I'm creating a invoice crystal report for sage mas 500 AR module. In it, I'm attempting to add the tarinvoice.balance field with the following formula:
if {tarPrintInvcHdrWrk.Posted} = 1 then
ToText({tarInvoice.Balance})
I'm assuming that when the {tarPrintInvcHdrWrk.Posted} = 1 conditional statement holds FALSE, it doesn't attempt to pull the invoice field because when I remove the formula from the report, the form displays correctly without it.
When the conditional statement renders true in the report, the balance fields behaves correctly. However, with the formula renders FALSE in the CR form, the entire crystal report bombs and displays blank. Any ideas why or what I'm doing wrong?
Just tried setting everything to zero and the report still bombs. I'm starting to think its more of a query error in the report. I wish there was a way to exclude the field in the query when posted = 0.
With tarinvoice.balance removed when the posted = 0, the report works fine.
With tarinvoice.balance included and posted = 1, report works fine.
With tarinvoice.balance included and posted =0, report bombs.
I believe the conditional statement fails immediately if you encounter a NULL, so your formula needs to test IsNull({tarPrintInvcHdrWrk.Posted}) before it tests equality with "1".
You can change the way Crystal handles a null value for a value in a formula. At the top of the Formula Workshop there is a drop down box that usually says "Exceptions For Nulls".
Change this to the other option "Default Values For Nulls" and your formula should no longer bomb out. You used to be able to specify the what the default values applied were, but more recent versions of Crystal have these hard coded.
Search the help for "Null Treatment" for a table showing them.
I modified the formula to this:
if isnull({tarPrintInvcHdrWrk.Posted}) = FALSE then
if {tarPrintInvcHdrWrk.Posted} = 1 then
if isnull({tarInvoice.Balance}) = FALSE then
ToText({tarInvoice.Balance})
else
"0.00"
else
"0.0"
else
"0"
The crystal report still bombs.. Nevertheless, it does show "0" in the appropriate space.
I saw a suggestion on Exp.Exch to try putting the field into a variable before converting it to text.
e.g.
NumberVar InvoiceBalance;
If isnull({tarInvoice.Balance}) then
InvoiceBalance := 0
Else
InvoiceBalance := {tarInvoice.Balance};
If {tarPrintInvcHdrWrk.Posted} = 1 then
ToText(InvoiceBalance);
I also tried to recreate your problem, since I have see similar things before.
No luck though trying with CR 8.5 & XI R2. Perhpas it has to do with linked tables as well, since I only tried on a simple single table.
I have also seen similar behaviour when using a formula within a Running Total - they do not like nulls at all!
If you put {tarInvoice.Balance} directly on report (into details "debug" section - often needed, don't forget supress it in production :)), what values it displays or does report become empty?
Maybe you have Suppress If Blank section on your report. Try to put: Else " "
if isnull({tarPrintInvcHdrWrk.Posted}) or {tarPrintInvcHdrWrk.Posted}=0 then
" "
else
if {tarPrintInvcHdrWrk.Posted} = 1 then
ToText({tarInvoice.Balance})
else
" "
I have trouble with this kind of field when making reports to export to excel. A field with no data in will pull all columns to the right of it over to "fill the gap".
