SAP Crystal Reports multiple numeric range selection - crystal-reports

I'm trying to create the report in SAP Crystal Reports (BusinessObject CR 2013 SP5) which display a number of the records from the database. My record selection is based on the item number which goes from 0 to 9999999. If I want to select specific numeric range (i.e. between 2500000 to 2600000) I used following record selection formula:
{v_R_rvc_menuitem_fam_grp.menuitem_number} in ToNumber({#Start_ItemRng1}) to ToNumber({#End_ItemRng1});
where the #Start_ItemRng1 is set to 2500000 and #End_ItemRng1 is 2600000.
My problem is that I need to add second numeric range into the formula (records btween 2700000 to 2800000). This way the report would returns records between 2500000-2600000 and 2700000 to 2800000. Unfortunately my all attempts returns with error code. Any suggestions how to correctly write the record selection formula?

Create two new parameters called #Start_ItemRng2 and #End_ItemRng2. Then update your record selection formula to this...
{v_R_rvc_menuitem_fam_grp.menuitem_number} in ToNumber({#Start_ItemRng1}) to ToNumber({#End_ItemRng1})
OR
{v_R_rvc_menuitem_fam_grp.menuitem_number} in ToNumber({#Start_ItemRng2}) to ToNumber({#End_ItemRng2})

calculating the percentage based on the number of records in the crystal reports

In my crystal reports I have a field called "PAYMENT" it has to be displayed according to the following requirement
REQUIREMENT
if there is only one RECORD in detail section then it has to display,
PAYMENT=percentage
if there are MULTIPLE RECORDS in detail section then it has to display,
PAYMENT=percentage+(percentage(total value)+remarks)
can anyone please tell me how to do this?
You can use the following formula in CR to count the records
CountRecords
Count ({Table.PAYMENT})
PaymentDisplay
Then create another formula with your decision making:
If COUNT FORMULA = 1 then DISPLAY OPTION 1 else DISPLAY OPTION 2
I have not tested this but it should work.

Crystal Reports set record number in formula

Would anyone know of a way to manually specify a record number within a formula, in Crystal Reports?
For instance, I have a report linked to an SQL server View that sits on top of a table that contains 20 records. This view selects the fields I need and then orders by the highest value to the lowest.
The report then pulls these records into the report in that order. What I would like to do is to be able to write a formula that can select a record based on its number.
I know I can reference RecordNumber in a formula (i.e. If RecordNumber = 5 Then...) but this only works in the Detail section once it actually shows record number 5, and if I place a formula in the header section it just displays False as the header only shows the first record.
I need to create a formula that sets the record number and then displays the desired value of that record number in the header (i.e. something like:
Set RecordNumber = 5
ToText ({table.value})
Can anyone help or is Crystal just not that sophisticated?

Using LIKE in Multi-Value Parameter in Crystal Reports 2011

I am developing a report in Crystal Reports 2011 that has 3 sub-reports pulling data from 3 different databases. I have a Multi-Value Parameter (String) in the main report that passes the input values to the 3 sub-reports which have the same Multi-Value String Parameter.
Sample Input Values are:
P000000030,
P000000930,
P000001730
The user does not want to input the leading alpha character and preceeding zeroes. They want to input the following:
30,
930,
1730
The sub-report pulls all of the records successfully if the user puts the entire string value in with the following Record Selection Criteria, but it does not work with the partial strings input:
{Command.Puchase Order} in {?Pm-?Reference}
Can anyone advise the syntax needed to pull the data in the subreport with the substrings as inputs?
Thanks in advance!
Thank you for your input guys!! I took a bit from everyone and came up with the following solution:
Create a column in the datasource that trimmed out the desired value --> ltrim(regexp_replace(a."po_num",'P',''),'0') as "Puchase Order2"
Modified my Record Selection Criteria to select for either column --> {Command.Puchase Order} in {?Pm-?Reference} or {Command.Puchase Order2} in {?Pm-?Reference}
I really appreciate your input! I am able to deliver the desired solution with your aid.
go ahead and create a formula that calculate the length of your parameter(len({?Pm-?Reference})) and place it suppressed on your report header. Then put below in your record selection formula
right({Command.Puchase Order},{your length formula}) in [{?Pm-?Reference}]
You could add the "number only" version of [Puchase Order] to your datasource...
cast(cast(right([Puchase Order], len([Puchase Order]) - 1) as int) as varchar(9))
as [Puchase Order Number]
...then use that in the select expert. I'm getting the number without the leading P, casting to int to remove the leading zeros, and then back to a varchar for the string comparison in Crystal.
You could do the same with a formula in Crystal reports. Then reference that formula in the select expert. Downside is having to repeat that in all 3 sub reports.

Inserting Missing Dates into Crystal Report

I'm using Crystal Reports 10.
In my database I have production values for each Date. There's a date column and a qty column. When I run a report on this the dates on the report correspond to the dates in the database, but I'd like the report to display every date and if there is no value for it a 0. Is this possible to do right in the report?
The date is a group field with detail suppressed. The numeric values are a sum of the details placed in the group header, if that makes a difference.
You have 2 questions.
To display a 0 for null values, you can go into your options menu and "convert database NULL values to default"
Alternatively, you can use make a new formula with this code and use if isnull({Table1.Amount}) then 0 else {Table1.Amount}. I recommend this option since it won't affect other fields in the report.
To display every date, you should make a 'helper/index' table in your datasource and right-join your actual data to it. Crystal can't display data for, say, 01/07/2010 if there are no records for it.

Crystal Reports: Is it possible to sum for more than one column?

I work on an accounting project in .NET.
I want to sum all transaction and its opening balances.
I use summary but it Allows only one column..
You can summarize within formulas, so long as the formula field is present in the report footer. When using Sum() CR knows to evaluate the expression for all records returned.
So you would create a formula for the report footer, and the formula code would be something like:
Sum({#TransactionAmt1}) + Sum({Transactions.Amount}) + Sum({#AnotherFormula});
