I am sorry before if the title is not too descriptive.
My goal is to create report like this (ignore the red line):
sample
In the Height (m) field, I create formula in the Formula Fields to check two values of height.
If IsNull({stored.RevisedHeight}) or {stored.RevisedHeight} = "" then
{stored.Height}
Else
{stored.Height} + ChrW(13) + {stored.RevisedHeight}
I need to set strikeout style for value {stored.Height} only in the Else condition.
Thanks in advance.
Use
If IsNull({stored.RevisedHeight}) or {stored.RevisedHeight} = "" then
{stored.Height}
Else
"<Strike>" + {stored.Height} + "</Strike>" + ChrW(13) + {stored.RevisedHeight}
Right-click the formula object on the report canvas,
Format Field... select Paragraph tab, set Text Interpretation option to 'HTML Text'.

I have a Text Object that contains a text string followed by a database field Max Weight {table.field}
I want to suppress all of the Text Object whenever {table.field} = 0.
I tried the following formula under Format Text > Common > Suppress
if {table.field} = 0 then true else false
What I get is the field value within the text object either on or off while the text is always suppressed. What do I need to do to make this work? Thanks.
You can try 2 different solutions:
1) Keeping your Max Weight label, create a new Formula in the 'Formula Fields' then enter this code:
if {table.field} = 0 then '' else ToText({table.field})
2) Supressing all text, you have to create a new Formula too, but type this:
if {table.field} = 0 then '' else 'Max Weight ' + ToText({table.field})
This second way, you will create a label that will only appears when your conditions happens, and you must replace the old TextObject with this new Formula. This will cause a blank area, because no text and no weight will show, but it looks like exactly what you need.
I just tested here and it's working. Note that both 'spaces' are in the document. Attached is an image that may help you find the formulas section. Hope you can use it.
How can I write the expression in order to change background color for each two rows in SSRS?
I need something like that:
I tried expression
=IIF(Fields!Type.Value="2016 Submitted" , "LightBlue",
IIF(Fields!Type.Value="2015 Submitted" , "LightBlue",
Nothing))
But because some months dont have values it looks like this:
If I try this expression I get below:
=IIF(RunningValue(Fields!Count.Value, CountDistinct, Nothing) MOD 2 = 1, "White", "PaleTurquoise")
Dance-Henry I tried your code
=IIF(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 4 = 1 or RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 4 = 2, "Aqua","White")
and this is what i got:
You can select the row in design pane and press F4 to setup property BackgroundColor as =IIF(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 4 = 1 or RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 4 = 2, "Aqua","White")
Captures are attached. Do it accordingly.
RESULT is something like this
After going thru the link https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/chrishays/2004/08/30/green-bar-matrix/
Tested and it works well for the Green Bar Effect for Matrix. I will show it step by step here as for later reference.
Step 1: Create the Matrix and add one more column under the innermost row grouping in your matrix. (ColorNameTextbox here)
Step 2: Select the textbox of ColorNameTextbox and press F4 to setup BackgroundColor property as =Value shown below.
Step 3: Select the textbox of Matrix cell and press F4 to setup BackgroundColor property as =ReportItems!ColorNameTextbox.Value shown below.
Step 4: Drag the inner grouping header (ColorNameTextbox) to be as narrow as possible.
Step 5: Preview Pane to check the result.
If you could add a hidden color_group column and populate it with a new number at each point you want to change the color (in your case 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4) then you could use something like the following (which works for varying size groups):
IIF(RunningValue(Fields!color_group.Value, CountDistinct, Nothing) MOD 2 = 1, "White", "PaleTurquoise")
I had a similar problem where I could not come up with alternating rows because my data has Column Groups that were the RowNumber(Nothing) method to fail. Learning from all the other posts here this is how I resolved it in steps.
I added the following code into the report properties, that provides a function to get the row number, each time it is called. The function increments the row count each time it is called. >>Right click space around the report >> Properties >> Code. Alternatively go to Code Properties Window, when the report is selected.
Add the following lines:
Public Row_Sum As Decimal = 0
Public Function Lookup_Sum( ) As integer
Row_Sum = Row_Sum + 1
Return Row_Sum
End Function
I added a new column at the beginning of the rows called No. that would calculate and show the row number.Right click the first column >>Insert Column>>Inside Group-Left.
On the expression for the new report add this line of code. Also take a note of the name of the TextBox that will have the No. Value. It will be needed in the next step. In my case the TextBox is called TextBox6 (Properties Window). >>Right Click Cell>>Expression.
Add the code:
=Code.Lookup_Sum()
I highlighted the entire row and went to the Background property and added the following expression to compute the row number.
Add the code(TextBox6 is the name Textbox name noted above):
=IIF(VAL(ReportItems!Textbox6.Value) MOD 2, "LIGHTBLUE", "WHITE")
I would like to find out information about the layout of text in a PdfPCell. I'm aware of BaseFont.getWidthPointKerned(), but I'm looking for more detailed information like:
How many lines would a string need if rendered in a cell of a given width (say, 30pt)? What would the height in points of the PdfPCell be?
Give me the prefix or suffix of a string that fits in a cell of a given width and height. That is, if I have to render the text "Today is a good day to die" in a specific font in a PdfPCell of width 12pt and height 20pt, what portion of the string would fit in the available space?
Where does iText break a given string when asked to render it in a cell of a given width?
This is with regard to iText 2.1.6. Thanks.
iText uses the ColumnText class to render content to a cell. This is explained in my book on page 98-99. This means that, just like with ColumnText, you need to make the distinction between text mode and composite mode.
In any case, ColumnText measures the width of the characters and tests if they fit the available width. If not, the text is split. You can change the split behavior in different ways: by introducing hyphenation or by defining a custom split character.
I've written a small proof of concept to show how you could implement custom "truncation" behavior. See the TruncateTextInCell example.
Instead of adding the content to the cell, I have an empty cell for which I define a cell event. I pass the long text "D2 is a cell with more content than we can fit into the cell." to this event.
In the event, I use a fancy algorithm: I want the text to be truncated in the middle and insert "..." at the place where I truncated the text.
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont();
Font font = new Font(bf, 12);
float availableWidth = position.getWidth();
int contentLength = content.length();
int leftChar = 0;
int rightChar = contentLength - 1;
availableWidth -= bf.getWidthPoint("...", 12);
while (leftChar < contentLength && rightChar != leftChar) {
availableWidth -= bf.getWidthPoint(content.charAt(leftChar), 12);
if (availableWidth > 0)
leftChar++;
else
break;
availableWidth -= bf.getWidthPoint(content.charAt(rightChar), 12);
if (availableWidth > 0)
rightChar--;
else
break;
}
String newContent = content.substring(0, leftChar) + "..." + content.substring(rightChar);
PdfContentByte canvas = canvases[PdfPTable.TEXTCANVAS];
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(canvas);
ct.setSimpleColumn(position);
ct.addElement(new Paragraph(newContent, font));
ct.go();
As you can see, we get the available width from the position parameter and we check how many characters match, alternating between a character at the start and a character at the end of the content.
The result is shown in the resulting PDF: the content is truncated like this: "D2 is a c... the cell."
Your question about "how many lines" can be solved in a similar way. The ColumnText class has a getLinesWritten() method that gives you that information. You can find more info about positioning a ColumnText object in my answer to your other question: Can I tell iText how to clip text to fit in a cell
I have a crystal report field with name 'Comp' which will contain the text 'correct' or 'not correct' according to some formula. what i want to achieve is, if text is correct i want to make it green color, otherwise red.
Got it after some search, here is the answer
if{Comp} = "correct" then crGreen else crRed
you can create formula in your program too:
FormulaFieldDefinitions definitions = MyReport.FormulaFields;
string formulaText = "IF " + MyReport.Database.Tables[1].Fields[1].Name
+ " = correct THEN crGreen else crRed";
definitions.Add("Test", formulaText);
MyReport.Sections[1].AddFieldObject(definitions[1], 0, 0);
There are 3 properties that I want to set for some VBA form comboboxes and I don't know if it's possible.
I don't want to let the combobox editable. Right now if the user types something in it that it submits the form it will send that value... I want to let him choose only from the values I added in the Combobox.
I want to make the list of items in the combobox scroll-able. Right now I'm able to scroll through the list if I use the scroll-bar but I don't know why I can't scroll with the mouse scroll.
And I want to jump to some item if I start typing. Let's say I have the months of the year in one combobox... if I start to type mar I want it to jump to march. I know that for the html forms this properties is by default but I don't know about VBA forms...
Thanks a lot
Of the behaviours you want, some are possible with settings on the Combo, others you will need to code
List of Months: Put a list of entries on a (hidden) sheet and name the range. Set .RowSource to that range
Match as you type: Set properties .MatchEntry = fmMatchEntryComplete and .MatchRequired = True
Reject non list entries: A Combo with these settings will allow you to type an invalid entry, but will reject it with an error message popup when you commit. If you want to silently reject invalid data as you type, you will need to code it.
If you want the selected value returned to a sheet, set .ControlSource to a cell address (preferable a named range)
By "...scroll with the mouse scroll..." I assume you mean the mouse wheel. Unfortunatley Forms don't support mouse wheel scroll. You will have to code it yourself. There is a Microsoft patch for this at here (not tried it myself yet)
Sample code to silently reject invalid entries
Private Sub cmbMonth_Change()
Static idx As Long
Dim Match As Boolean
Dim i As Long
If cmbMonth.Value = "" Then Exit Sub
If idx = 0 Then idx = 1
i = idx
Match = False
For i = 0 To cmbMonth.ListCount
If cmbMonth.List((i + idx - 1) Mod cmbMonth.ListCount) Like cmbMonth.Value & "*" Then
cmbMonth.ListIndex = (i + idx - 1) Mod cmbMonth.ListCount
Match = True
Exit For
End If
Next
If Not Match Then
cmbMonth.Value = Left(cmbMonth.Value, Len(cmbMonth.Value) - 1)
End If
End Sub
Set the propertie MatchEntry of combobox to 1 (fmMatchEntryComplete) and MatchRequired to true for example
combobox1.MatchEntry=1
combobox1.MatchRequired=True
