First of all, my Crystal Reports is in Portuguese which is my mother language. So I am sorry in advance.
I am trying to use Mailing Labels from Crystal Reports to have multiple columns. I was able to set it up and I do it on the Design Mode, but when I change to the Preview Mode labels won't replicate.
This is how set it on the Preview Mode:
This is how it shows on the Preview Mode:
I think I've tried everything, changed all the properties, but I can't understand why it is not working. If you look at my Section Expert of Details and even though it is in Portuguese I don't think there is nothing wrong.
Here it is the Layout properties:
I don't know if there's any tip you could give me, but I would appreciate it so much.
Change the sort direction option from vertical first and Horizontal second to Horizontal First and Vertical Second.
Make sure your report has multiple records.

Others have asked this question before, but no one has provided an actual answer to it. I can't get all of the marks/labels to display in my Tableau visualizations.
Selecting "allow labels to overlap" does not fix the problem. That displays several hidden labels for the smallest of the areas, and it places those labels at the top of the bars, ignoring the formatting that sets the labels to the bottom. However, whether or not that option is checked, the empty areas in the screen shot stay empty. And those areas are clearly large enough to display the missing labels without encroaching on any other label.
I'm guessing this is a bug in Tableau because there's no reasonable explanation as to why this is happening, but I'm new to Tableau and unsure how to address this.
While I can offer no explanation, this has been a reported problem for several years. Tableau's own documentation states to check the Allow marks to overlap checkbox, yet that doesn't always work.
I don't know if it's a bug so much as it is a complicated calculation for the rendering engine to determine what will and won't fit into a space. To the human eye it will fit but it's possible the underlying calculations inside Tableau don't see it that way. I find that particularly on dual-axis charts (like yours) this happens more frequently. I've done two things to get around it when it comes up:
Change font family or font size
Put more info into the tooltips so the end user sees the data when they hover.
If you wish to pursue this as a bug, you will need to contact Tableau Support and file a case. They will ask you to submit a twbx file to reproduce the issue.
I hope that helps.
Label -> Font -> Automatic solved the problem for me
You can select individual marks, right click to pop up a menu, and specify whether to always hide or always show the labels for the selected marks (overriding the default behavior)
I'm trying to create a report as shown below with a logo touching header and detail band... Can someone please help me on where to start with... Even the header end is having a cross lines... do i need to take that as an image or is it possible in ireport tool to have such designs??
I'm new to jasper reporting... Please help me on how to create such report
I'm not sure about crossed lines since it's been a year since my last time using iReports, but I can't remember this kind of attention to the estetic part and I think you should probably use a background image.
Regarding the logo touching header and detail, since I don't think iReport can deal with overlapping bands, I would suggest you to organize your report as shown in the following image.
Header (red part): take care of the whole report non connected to the detail
Detail (green part): just your data
You can handle vertical lines in both bands in order to preserve a sort of frame.
I had to emulate several times this sample. and I've always reached my goal in this way.
Hoping it helps.

I have designed a report in SSRS 2008 with three tablix that display data from different SP. When I designed the report and then previewed it, the report looked perfect. I deployed the report to our report server and viewed it. The report displays the last table with several columns that are either too large or too small. When I then export the report to PDF after I run it on the report server then the report appears the way that I designed it.
Does anyone have an idea what could cause the report to display wrong when it is run but correctly when it is exported to a PDF?
This is pretty common. I struggle with this same issue.
Edit: double check CanGrow and CanShrink on both the cells and tablix. Maybe your is interpreted differently and therefore is larger in web view?
Firstly, you're just going to have to play with your settings until it looks like in all output formats. However, here are a few tips to help:
Don't use rectangles, ever. Everything should be in a tablix cell. You have much finer control and it is less likely to blow up in PDF and web viewer.
Stay away from your margins. I try to keep at least .25"
Watch your padding. If you have top and bottom padding of 4, and your text is 10, but your cell only allows 16, then you're going to have a bad time
Use Ctrl + Mouse Scroll to zoom in and check formatting. This won't show a lot of errors, but it's something to check.
Even though your top cell and top line of the tablix should be identical, they aren't always. I can't tell you why. However, don't put a BorderStyle on both. Sometimes the border doubles up and looks wider in some of the output formats.
Always check all output formats prior to handing your project to QA. If is very common for report formatting to blow up once deployed. I have to double check Portrait vs. Landscape formatting and my borders. I miss that sometimes.
Sometimes font sizes can be interpreted differently. There can be very slight differences that can change the sizes of your cells.
I hope this helps.
I'm working on a report. The sections look like the following:
Report Header
Page Header
PH1
PH2
Group Header1
Group Header2
Details
Group Footer2
Group Footer1
Page Footer
Report Footer
I have a couple of questions here:
On the first page, there are two complete group1(group-a, group-b), and part of the data from next group (group c). The vertical lines stop at the end of group-b. Group-a and group-b have grid but group-c has no grid at all. But all vertical lines look fine on the following pages.
I created a few summary objects under report footer, but nothing shows up, not even the text object I put there for testing. I've played around with the section export, but so far, no luck.
Please help me with the questions, thanks a lot. :)
As for line issue, one solution is to create separate line segments for each section. They need to be carefully positioned to line up vertically and sized to span the exact height. Use the editor dialog because mouse positioning just won't work right.
In old versions of Crystal there must have been a lot bugs because I could crash the app dozens of time before getting it right. Eventually I figured out how to avoid the crashes pretty well but I can't remember the details now. It's a big hassle all the way around.
Diagnosing the other issue is probably easier with a view of the designer.
Which version of Crystal? Is there a page break before the report footer?
I know you already tried the text object, but try adding a background color to the report footer to confirm that it's present in the output.
I want to have this layout in Crystal Reports:
How can I do this? If it cant be done in CR or SSRS, is there any other alternatives?
I don't believe this can be done with Crystal Reports. I'm not as familiar with SSRS, but after looking through the field options I don't believe it can be done with it either. In general field locations are set static in reporting solutions.
I think this would be best done with html/css or even XSL. I don't know the scope of the issue, but I'd assume that you should be able to output an html or xml file from your application which could be opened with a web browser. For html you should be able to use the align or even float attributes or text-align in css to accomplish this.
I hope this helps.
If you want to have multiple columns of static text in Crystal Reports, then you'd just have to get creative with multiple text boxes, i.e. create 2 text boxes side-by-side and add text to each one until it looks right.
If you want to have 2 columns of data, here's how:
Keep it simple and start with a blank report.
Add your fields of interest to the details section. Resize them so that they only use the first 4 inches of space.
Go into your Section Expert->Details and turn on the Format with Multiple Columns option.
A new tab will appear called Layout. For this example, let's set the Width to 4 inches and leave the Gaps at 0.
Preview your report. If you have enough data in your dataset, it will automatically flood over to the right side of your screen.
It'll take a few minutes of fidgeting with the measurements to get everything looking the way you want. You can even have more than 2 columns if you set the Detail Width small enough.
Also, there is also an option in the Layout menu called "Format Groups with multiple column". It's hard to describe in text, but play with this if you have any grouping levels.
