I am new to crystal reports and I am trying to get round formulations.
I am trying to display certain data in a report by using a particular value from the database. All the data i need to display is within the value '1' of the database.
I have tried with an if statement, which seems to work but displays true and false instead of the actual data. Can anyone help me with this please?
if {database.column} = 1 then
true
else
false
This is where I have got too, just need a little guidance please
Try using the code below:
if {database.column} = 1 then
database.column
else
0

I want to create a Query, that only returns a subset of the labels with value app the ones I want to return are those ending in dev
My Query so far, returns all of the labels with value app successfully. However, I have been unable to successfully filter the values so that only a-dev b-dev and c-dev are returned.
How do I successfully apply regex (or alternative) to this query so that I can see the desired values?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
I eventually figured out what I needed to do. Originally I was trying to use | to run regex on the results from label_values.
However, this format worked:
label_values({app=~".*-dev$"}, app)
and returned only a-dev b-dev c-dev as expected.
I am trying to build a rally query in the rally UI that shows the date a particular status has changed for custom fields. I can see when an item has been accepted with "AcceptedDate" but I cannot return the date a rally item has changed from a custom field. For instance -
(c_KanbanState = "Idea", lastupdate = beforetoday)
How could I accomplish this and what would the proper syntax be?
Thanks!
Just checked and it appears to work for me with a little modification:
((c_KanbanState = "Idea") AND (LastUpdateDate >= "lastweek"))
I am trying to create a VB script that searches through a column of dates and returns the address of the cell with todays date.
For some reason I keep getting an "Object required: 'FoundCell'" error.
Could someone have a look at my code and correct me?
I can read out the date using WScript.Echo, but once I use it in the find function it immediately gives me the error.
Set oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set wshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
File_Path = "D:\Work\Personal Timemanagement\test.xlsx"
Set oData = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(File_Path)
WHAT_TO_FIND = Date()
WScript.Echo WHAT_TO_FIND
Set FoundCell = oData.Worksheets("tst2").Range("A1:A40").Find(WHAT_TO_FIND)
oExcel.Cells(4,4) = FoundCell.Address
oExcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "D:\Work\Personal Timemanagement\test2.xlsx"
oExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Close
oExcel.Application.Quit
WScript.Quit
Thanks for the help!
WHAT_TO_FIND1 returns value like #14/10/2014#.So replace the # with nothing using WHAT_TO_FIND1=Replace(WHAT_TO_FIND,"#","Nothing").
Once replaced the above code will work
I tried your script, works perfect for me.
For testing purposes I suggest you add the following line to the script
oExcel.Visible = True
Also make sure all the privies instances of Excel are closed so your script could get write access. (open task manager and end all Excel process - unless you have other excel files open)
Now make sure the Worksheet is spelled correct "tst2" also ensure that the range is correct "A1:A40"
Keep us posted.
Find() returns Nothing when the given value isn't found in the given range. Make sure that the Range A1:A40 on sheet tst2 in the workbook D:\Work\Personal Timemanagement\test.xlsx actually contains a cell with the current date, and that the cell is also formatted as a date. Find() won't return a match if for instance you're looking for a date 7/11/2013 and the range contains a cell (formatted as text) with the string 7/11/2013. Modify your statement like this for finding "text" cells:
Set FoundCell = oData.Worksheets("tst2").Range("A1:A40").Find(CStr(WHAT_TO_FIND))
The application I work on is using a Crystal Reports to present reports to the user. I am using Visual 2010, but the report was created by a previous employee some years back using Visual2005.
The basic setup is that the client application make a request to the server that uses a xsd that define the data-set it sends back. Generally this work like expected, but I am having some problems with evaluating booleans.
A recent task consider of adding the dataset with a field name TrueWeekday that control if certain numbers should be printed out or not depending on if a date is a regular weekday or have some special local meaning that might affect the sampled data. The data is always used in some formulas so I can not exclude it from the dataset.
My first attempt involved defining the new field as a boolean and in the formula for the report I wrote
if {Header.TrueWeekday} then
CStr({Detail.Flow})
else
""
This had the result that no matter if the value in TrueWeekday was false or true the flow was presented. I debuged the server to verify that the variable indeed got the expected value so the problem happened in the Crystal Reports or in the transfer of data to Crystal Reports.
To solve this particular problem within the timeconstraints of the task I changed the field to the type string and wrote
if {Header.TrueWeekday} = "false" then
CStr({Detail.Flow})
else
""
This worked like a charm.
My problem here is not urgent since I have a working solution, but I am worried that this problem might create more subtle dataintrigity problems.
What might be the cause of this and how do I solve it?
Header.TrueWeekday is probably being passed as a string so that when you do if {Header.TrueWeekday} its testing a string as a boolean in which case if the string contains anything it evaluates to true and thus causes your problem
Work in a different project made me realize that .Net is probably serializing the boolean as the text string true/false. If then Crystal Reports does sloppy import and only check
input != 0
you will get the result that both true and false map to true after the transfer.
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".
