So, I'm much more familiar with Transact-SQL than I am with Crystal formulas. What I would like to do is convert something like the following SQL where clause to be used in Crystal to conditionally suppress a section:
.
.
.
AND (osAddressUse.Description <> 'Conservator Address'
OR (
ISNULL(bcDocumentDetail.PrimaryStreet,'') = ISNULL(osaddress.PrimaryStreet,'')
AND
ISNULL(bcDocumentDetail.SecondaryStreet,'') = ISNULL(bcDocumentDetail.SecondaryStreet,'')
)
)
.
.
.
Basically, the section should only display if the osAddressUse.Description = "Conservator Address" OR both the Primary Street and Secondary Street within both tables bcDocumentDetail and osAddress are not identical.
What I came up with so far is the following, but it doesn't work 100% of the time:
{osAddressUse.Description} <> "Conservator Address"
OR
( {bcDocumentDetail.PrimaryStreet} = {osAddress.PrimaryStreet}
AND
{bcDocumentDetail.SecondaryStreet} = {osAddress.SecondaryStreet} )
There are some situations where the data in these fields can either be NULL or "". If it's a NULL value, I want it converted to "", that way, they technically match, and the section will be suppressed.
Nevermind. I was able to figure it out:
TRIM ({osAddressUse.Description}) <> "Conservator Address"
OR
(
(IF ISNULL({osAddress.PrimaryStreet}) THEN "" ELSE {osAddress.PrimaryStreet})
= (IF ISNULL({bcDocumentDetail.PrimaryStreet}) THEN "" ELSE {osAddress.PrimaryStreet})
AND
(IF ISNULL({osAddress.SecondaryStreet}) THEN "" ELSE {osAddress.SecondaryStreet})
= (IF ISNULL({bcDocumentDetail.SecondaryStreet}) THEN "" ELSE {osAddress.SecondaryStreet})
)

I am using FMP 14 and would like to auto-populate field A based on the following calulation:
If ( Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v1" ; "1st" ) or
If ( Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v2" ; "2nd" ) or
If ( Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v3" ; "3rd" ) or
If ( Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v4" ; "4th" ) or
If ( Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v5" ; "5th" ) or
If ( Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v6" ; "6th" )
The above code is supposed to auto-populate the value 1st, 2nd, 3rd ... in field A depending on the name of the object the Get (ActiveLayoutObjectName) function returns. I have named each of my tabs, but the calculation is only returning 0.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
The way your calculation is written makes very little sense. Each one of the If() statements returns a result of either "1st", "2nd", etc. or nothing (an empty string). You are then applying or to all these results. Since only of them can be true, your calculation is essentially doing something like:
"" or "2nd" or "" or "" or "" or ""
which happens to return 1 (true), but has no useful meaning.
You should be using the Case() function here:
Case (
Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v1" ; "1st" ;
Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v2" ; "2nd" ;
Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v3" ; "3rd" ;
Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v4" ; "4th" ;
Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v5" ; "5th" ;
Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) = "tab_Visits_v6" ; "6th"
)
Note also that a calculation field may not always refresh itself as a result of user switching a tab. This refers to an unstored calculation field; if you are trying to use this as the formula to be auto-entered into a "regular' (e.g. Text) field, it will never update.
Added:
Here is our situation. We see a patient a maximum of 6 times. We have
a tab for each one of those 6 visits.
I would suggest you use a portal to a related table of Visits instead of a tab control. A tab control is designed to display fixed components of user interface - not dynamic data. And certainly not data split into separate records. You should have only one unique record for each patient - and as many records for each patient's visits as may be necessary (potentially unlimited).
If you like, you can use the portal rows as buttons to select a specific visit to view in more detail (similar to a tab control, except that the portal shows the "tabs" as vertical rows). A one-row portal to the same Visits table, filtered by the user selection, would work very well for this purpose, I believe.
With 1. .... it would be easy:
Right (Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) ; 1) & "."
Thanks for pointing out, that my first version does not work.
I'm working on a report in Crystal Reports XI that allows someone to filter help desk tickets using a number of optional dynamic parameters. If I make a selection for each parameter it returns the expected results, but if I leave out any of the parameters it doesn't return anything and when I look at the SQL query it says, "No SQL Query is used because the record selection formula returns no records." I currently have the following code for Record Selection:
{Incident.State:} = "C" and
{Incident.Close Date & Time} in {?BDate} to {?EDate} and
If HasValue({?Group}) Then (
{Groups.Code} = {?Group}
)
and
If HasValue({?Category}) Then (
{Incident.Subject Description} = {?Category}
)
and
If HasValue({?Staff}) Then (
{Incident_Details.Login ID} = {?Staff}
)
and
If HasValue({?Community}) Then (
{Incident.Company Name} = {?Community}
)
To me, this seems like it should work and if I leave out the If statement to verify the parameters have values I get an error so it seems like the HasValue is working properly. Any ideas?
Your problem stems from not explicitly handling the optional parameter configurations. It's easy to run into this problem when using if-statements in the record selection formula. Instead, explicitly handle the cases where the parameters DO and DO NOT have values. Something like this:
...
(not(hasvalue({?Group})) or {Groups.Code}={?Group})
and
(not(hasvalue({?Category})) or {Incident.Subject Description} = {?Category})
and
(not(hasvalue({?Staff})) or {Incident_Details.Login ID} = {?Staff} )
and
(not(hasvalue({?Community})) or {Incident.Company Name} = {?Community})
Doing it this way effectively tells CR to just ignore the parameter if is doesn't have a value, otherwise select records based on what was entered in those parameters.
The Record Selection formula indicates whether a record must be used, or not, by returning true or false. With that in mind, if some value is informed, the formula must return True if it meets some criteria. If nothing is informed on the filter, the formula must always return True.
Try something like this:
{Incident.State:} = "C" and
{Incident.Close Date & Time} in {?BDate} to {?EDate} and
(If HasValue({?Group}) Then (
{Groups.Code} = {?Group}
) else
(True))
and
(If HasValue({?Category}) Then (
{Incident.Subject Description} = {?Category}
) else
(True))
and (
If HasValue({?Staff}) Then (
{Incident_Details.Login ID} = {?Staff}
) else
(True))
and (
If HasValue({?Community}) Then (
{Incident.Company Name} = {?Community}
) else
(True))
I have a Crystal Report which has two paramaters: {?EmailVerifyStatus} and {?Company}. I want it so that when the two paramaters are blank the report gets all the records.
Here is my current code:
(if {?EmailVerifyStatus}='Y' THEN {PREH.udEmailVerify}='Y'
ELSE IF {?EmailVerifyStatus}='N' THEN {PREH.udEmailVerify}='N'
ELSE 1=1)
and
(if {?Company} <> '0' then not (IF "," & ToText({PREH.PRCo},0,'') & "," IN "," & {?Company} & "," THEN 0=1 ELSE 1=1) else 1=1 )
But, it is only returning the records with a 'Y' value.
You have to check if parameters have set a value with the hasvalue() function. Then you can do this:
(not(hasvalue({?EmailVerifyStatus})) or {PREH.udEmailVerify} = {?EmailVerifyStatus}) and
(not(hasvalue({?PRCo})) or {PREH.Co} = {?Company})
I dont understand your second condition ...
I have problem when i'm using a condition for checking null values in report. My condition is
$F{BILANGAN4}==0 ? "-" : ""
The values of field does not appear but it just appear "-".
Anyone know about this?
I'm not sure what $F{BILANGAN4}==0 ? "-" : "" will compile-down to. Have you looked at the generated .java code for your report? java.lang.Long could be null, so you want to check like this:
( ( null == $F{BILANGAN4} || $F{BILANGAN4} == 0 ) ? "-" : "" )
I usually explicitly add .longValue() to calls like that just to be explicit: I'll get a compiler failure if the type isn't correct and I know I need to adjust something and maybe re-consider the code.
Note that the above code (as a text-field value for instance) will only display "-" or nothing. If you want the value of the $F to actually display, you'll have to put it in there. I'm fairly sure this is actually what you want:
( ( null == $F{BILANGAN4} || $F{BILANGAN4} == 0 ) ? "-" : $F{BILANGAN4} )
I am making a report and I need to split a coma separated string into three columns of a table.
string = 'some text, some text, some text'
But the sting doesn't always have two coma's i.e.
string = 'some text, some text'
so when i try to get the value for the third column
=Split(Fields!GLDescription.Value, ", ").GetValue(2)
This code can result in a "#Error" message in the column. I tried to solve this by checking the length like so
=IIF(Split(Fields!GLDescription.Value, ", ").Length >= 3, Split(Fields!GLDescription.Value, ", ").GetValue(2), "")
But it still resulted in the same error. Is there anyway to check if an array key exists?
The issue, as you've seen, is that SSRS IIf expressions aren't good at short circuiting. I can think of a workaround that will work for 2 and 3 column fields.
Try an expression like:
=IIf(
Split(Fields!GLDescription.Value, ", ").Length = 3
, Mid(
Fields!GLDescription.Value
, InStrRev(Fields!GLDescription.Value, ", ") + 2
, Len(Fields!GLDescription.Value) - InStrRev(Fields!GLDescription.Value, ", ") + 2
)
, "No val 3"
)

It's not bulletproof for all possible situations, but might be enough for your data.
