I have a crystal report consisting of 9 pages (1-9).
I have only one field(String) where I show a record from the database(say amount). The issue is that amount is being displayed on every page. I want that one record (amount) to be shown only on the first page.
I tried several things with formula editing like "Suppress if duplicate" etc.
Here you have 2 screenshots.
Page 1/9 of the report
Page 2/9 of the report
Note: Remittance information is a group header
Depending on the structure of your report one of the following formulas should do the trick.
Put inside the suppressing formula of the amount-field:
Number 1
//suppressing the field on all records except the first record
If OnFirstRecord Then False Else True
Number 2
//suppressing the field on all pages except page 1
If PageNumber=1 Then False Else True
Number 3
//suppressing the field on all groups except #1
If GroupNumber=1 Then False Else True

I am working on crystal reports. I want to avoid printing a field on the first page of the report, but print it on rest of the pages. I am also resetting the page number at group level. So if I suppress the field on page 1 it also suppresses on the page where the new group starts and the page number is reset to 1, which I don’t want.
If the field is suppressed on this condition:
RecordNumber = 1
it should behave like you want, i.e. it's not shown on the very first page, regardless of the CR page numbering.
Note: this one will only work if the second record started on page 1, too.
If I'm understanding your question correctly, it sounds like you are using a formula to suppress the field when PageNumber = 1, and it is suppressing the field on the first page of the report, but when you get to the next record in the group the page number resets to 1 and the field is suppressed again, when you want it to be shown.
I would try updating the suppression formula to the following.
PageNumber = 1 AND GroupNumber = 1
If you have multiple levels of grouping in your data, things can get a little interesting though. The GroupNumber function does not allow you to specify which group it is enumerating and instead returns record number for the inner most group that the function is contained within.
I want to display the page number on my crystal report only if the number of pages is more than 1. How can I do this?
Drag and drop the special field page number on to report and write a supress condition
If total page count > 1
Then false
Else true
Here total page count is again a special field
I have a report that is only one record, however, the user specifies how many times it needs printed, let's say 10. Each time it prints it prints 4 of the same report. Like this, Page 1 x 4, Page 2 x 4, Page 3 x 4, etc. With 10 copes their will be 40 pages altogether.
Update:
I was able to get all the pages I needed based on the values the user inputs. So if there are 10 pallets I have 40 pages of labels, which is correct. Now the control number part that needs to be displayed. It is kind of like a page number but every 4 pages the number needs to increment by 1. I assume I can use WhilePrinterRecords and some how increment, but I am still new to Crystal and unfamiliar with it.
Example:
Page 1: Control number 1
Page 2: Control number 1
Page 3: Control number 1
Page 4: Control number 1
Page 5: Control number 2
Page 6: Control number 2
Page 7: Control number 2
Page 8: Control number 2
This would continue until there is no more pages to print.
if you want 4 copies for each label, what you could do is create 4 sections on the report with the same info. Make sure that you assign the label size to each page(e.g. 4x6). e.g. if you have that info on your header, create PHa, PHb, PHc and PHd, same for details or PF.
don't know if this could work for you, but at least is a recommendation. You can create suppressed sections with the same info(e.g. 10 sections) and create a parameter that control that suppress condition defaulted in 4. If the user what to print 5, it will enable section 5th, same if want to print 3 it will suppress the 4th.
Upadte: how to get the increment:
place a formula on your page footer like below one. It will return value when gets an integer and suppress it when is equal to 0(right click on it, number tab, customize, suppress if 0).
if pagenumber = Ceiling(pageNumber,4) then numbervar page := page +1
then place another formula on your PF as well like below one and suppress it when pagenumber = Ceiling(pageNumber,4) so it won't show when the other has value and put one overlapping the other to get the value in the same place.
if {1st formula} <> 0 then numbervar page1 := {1st formula};
page1 + 1
2nd Update:
Because is a label and your details are acting as a new page do this:
create a new detail section, so you will have details a and b and place your formulas on details b
I have used additional tables for such tricks; these tables must be linked to report to multiply main query results. Some care has to be taken to not allow multiple users printouts to mix.
Example, assuming your report query has some unique id to link and your user/session has also some unique id:
you create table cr_special(reportid int, userid int, ctlnumber int)
you design report, linked to this table by reportid and filtered by userid; changing ctlnumber field is taken from your special table
before printing, you delete all records with reportid/userid combo and insert new ones
you print report, giving userid as parameter
Say you want to print 10 reports with increasing numbers - then you insert 10 records into your special table with ctlnumber increasing from 1 to 10.
Variation of this solution is to use some other non-related table, like our all-dates-containing dates table :)
Both of these solutions are ugly, but they usually work.
Another approach is to use some stored procedure to return these sequential numbers as records and link your report to such procedure; Crystal Reports and stored procedures do not behave always well however.
I have develped a crystal report. It must have 4 pages as default and additional 2 depending on the condition.
When the condition is success its showing all the text objects in 5th and 6th pages correctly, but in else condition, its displaying 4 pages with appropriate data and empty pages having page header in last 2 pages.
How to suppress/completely hide last 2 pages?
Pls advice
Thanks
Your best bet would be to create a report with multiple report footer sections. You can then either adjust each report footer section to be 1 page high and add the relevant conditions and objects or alternatively add a subreport to each report footer section containing the fields/logic.
I would probably create 8 report footer sections (2 being blank) then decide whether to show the 2 blank ones or the 2 with relevant objects.
In section expert, next to suppress use the below formula
if pagenumber in [99,100] then true
else false
Note; Assuming 99 and 100 are last 2 pages of the report.
The no of items in my invoice never gets more than 10. When its only one item in invoice(one row in details section) the report footer shows very up.
I want that I should fix 10 rows for the details section, when there are less rows, the remaining rows to make it 10 should be showed as blank lines.
I need the footer to appear at the same place all the time, irrespective of how many items are there in the invoice(never gets more than 10).
Please suggest solution.
Just use Sub Report and Fix the height of the sub report
then you will be able to display fix page.
I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but I will make some guesses with possible solutions.
If you print multiple invoices per report, you can group on the invoice designator, and set the report to start every invoice on a new page. In addition, you can force a new page when the record count goes over 10 rows. There are various ways to do this, but the simplest would be to add a counter that is set/reset at the start of an invoice, and then conditionally force a "new page before" if that counter reaches 11. You can also set this to force a new page for every n + 1 records (the 11th record, the 21st record, the 31st record, etc.)
If you just don't want the report footer to show up, you can either suppress it or issue a "new page before" on report footer. This is handy if you keep a summary page for reference (# of invoices in run, total balances, etc.).
If you just don't want a floating footer, you can select "print at bottom of page" for any section. This is handy for group totals. That, with "Repeat Group Header on Each Page", you can get some very nice looking invoices.
to fix height of detail section ..suppose i want size of 8 rows/records then
right click on detail section ->section expert ->on paging tab-> check on New page before beside button (x+2) write formula below given..
IF Remainder (RecordNumber, 8) = 0 THEN
TRUE
ELSE
FALSE
I know this question is really stale, but here's how to do what the OP asked.
You need to do 2 things. Find out the amount of real estate you need on the page for the 10 rows, and create a group footer that is that size directly beneath the detail line (e.g 2" or 5 cm).
Then, go into the section expert for the detail line and check the Underlay Following Sections box.
If you are ever going to have more than 10 detail lines, you also need to go to New Page after on the Paging tab and put in 10.
Put all fields Top = 0
Decrease section height.
Now, you have to set fields top dynamically.
Like this:
cr.Section1.ReportObjects.Item("Line1").Top = 0
cr.Section1.ReportObjects.Item("Line2").Top = cr.Section1.ReportObjects.Item("Line1").Top + cr.Section1.ReportObjects.Item("Line1").Height
