I am working on a crystal report like in the sample image. it has some limited attributes and some attributes that will be repeated. like item id will be repeated for each item and invoice id will be only one in the whole invoice. I am trying to use two different tables one for repeating elements and one for single time elements.
I am facing problem in setting the datasource of the crystal report. how can I set it so that it may fetch data for repeated elements from datatable one and other from datatable two.
Or if you know any other approach for such problem please share.
Problem Solved.
We can use as many datasources as we want. We just need to add them through database expert options.
besides while giving it actual data we can do that like this:
objRpt.Database.Tables[0].SetDataSource(list_of_objects_of_data_sources);
objRpt.Database.Tables[1].SetDataSource(list_of_objects_of_data_sources2);
this also shows that we can provide data to crystal report through list of obects instead of datatables. we just need to set the references in the database expert as those class objects.
like in the figure

Similarly i have an requirement that, in one main excel report should have tittle only, and then need to call two independent queries and display the results below the tittle. Just need to send counts of records from both queries to main report.
I don't want to repeat the results just display once.
Thats basically what subreports are for. You can create one JRXML-report which contains two child (sub)reports. Each subreport can have its own Query.
PS : The detail Band is rendered once per Resultset. So maybe it is enought to use this.
I have existing report w/ "groups" for Total/Directs/Warehouse/Credits that span horizontally. I need to now stack these groupings vertically. What is the best way to do this in CR? I am used to SSRS, Excel, PowerBI, etc. Crystal Reports is much less intuitive than those tools.
Do I need some kind of funky nested groups? Sub reports? How should we approach this? We assumed it would be a pretty simple formatting/layout change. But it looks like it's actually quite complex to do this.
Original:
How it needs to be re-worked:
If the entire table you're showing is in a Footer, you can just add 3 new footer sections and duplicate the table in each (removing any columns you don't need.) Just right click the relevant section and Insert Section Below.
Otherwise you'll need to use subreports. But since you have the columns already configured, all you really have to do is:
Save 4 subreports, Total, Directs, Warehouse, and Credits. (Just save a copy of your existing report, and delete everything that doesn't need to show up in Total. Rinse and repeat.)
Import each and add the parameters as subreport links
Give them each their own section
Situation
I got stucked to some weirdo in Crystal reports. See the image below of my RAW RPT.
Everything in my report is coming fine except the details part. You can see there DetailsSection6, in which i have few columns(10-15). This rpt is binded with the XSD file and that XSD is then binded with its concerned dataset at runtime. Dataset has around 10 tables from which two tables are concerned here.
PROC_CONS_SUBBILL_REPORT - Header Table with single row.
CON_T_SUBBILL_DTL - Detail table having multiple rows based on the VoucherNo of above table.
What I want
I need to display all records of detail table in tablular format based upon the VoucherNo. Say in detail table (SUBBILL_DTL), I am having 25 records, but when table is rendered on the rpt, its starts repeating itself, sometimes twice sometimes thrice.
Kindly note:
My SP is returning the expected and correct data
RPT has 5-6 SubReports and in one report PROC_CONS_SUBBILL_REPORT table is used.
There is no Relationships in the report in the form of keys.
What I did
Tried removing all keys between the tables.
Suppressed the Detail Section but it suppresses the entire data.
Suppress the detail section with formula
{CON_T_SUBBILL_REPORT.CODE}=previous( {CON_T_SUBBILL_REPORT.CODE})
but still its not working.
I am totally lost. Kindly help.
Normally records are duplicated when the linking is wrong, In your case instead of formula try to use the option Select Distinct Records under Database tab.
This is a little late, but in case somebody else is looking for an answer.
I tried all the things above and nothing worked. Crystal reports was changing my query.
It worked in SQL Server but not in Crystal Reports.
The way I fixed it was by creating a view of my query on Sql Server and using the view
in my Crystal Report. It fixed everything.
I have a master report (using iReport 5.0.4) with a subreport that uses grouping by a field called "Group Number" (sorry, but that is the actual column name).
My report works fine when there are more than one group, but it generates each group result scrolling down the page vertically.
I would like to be able to have each group go across vertically, but when I tried using columns, it simply forces each group's data into columns, and not the entire group 1, followed by group 2 in the next column, etc.
There can be up to 8 groups, so I was hoping not to have to create 8 individual sub-subreports with a "print when" expression to show/hide them.
Can anyone tell me if this should be possible?
Thanks,
Mitch
I think making subreports is the easiest and obvious way. But if you want to make it in other way, I can only suggest to use scriptlet, and form dataset manually (Transpose it).
Another suggestion is when you generating report directly from database (i.e. passing connection into jasper) you can modify query and transpose the data (PIVOT table).
Anyway provide more info about your case. I will try to help you.
We are generating reports based on iReports and JasperReports for web application.
Using iReports I found I am struck with big problem.
I want to use two SQL query to fill up my main report...
In query designer I can only write one query..
For another query I cannot use sub-reports...
How do I write second query which will return different fields and include them in my report..
Please guide...
I cannot use sub-reports...
Yes, adding a table to your report is as easy as adding a field. Just drag it from the palette and drop it in the report where you need to have it.
Add a new Table data source. I assume this was done.
Once the data source is configured, you could design your table UI using the wizard.
just click on next or finish to close the wizard.
To add a parameter in data set (if needed), Navigate to your data set using the report inspector. Expand your data set. You would find the parameters menu. Right click to add the new parameter.
Now right click on your table and select edit table data source. Here you will find options to pass parameters to your table from the main report. Passing parameters to your table should be as simple as you do in sub reports. Select the parameter just created from the drop down list box and pass the required value.
In the Data set run Dialog box that appears, please make sure of the data set and the report connection you are using.
You are done configuring the table with this, next you will place the fields in the cells of table for displaying the data.
You are getting your document has no pages since the main report query does not return any rows i guess. For your table to be executed your main report must return at least a row
Hope this helps you.
Good Luck!!
As far as Ireports are concerned, the main report can comprise only one query. And if you wanna use multiple queries in your report, it is possible in the following ways.
Sub Report
Table Dataset.
sub Dataset.
since you don wish to use a sub report, you can go for a Table Dataset. Anything you would do with a sub report is possible with table dataset too(Except for returning variables). You can use sub datasets with charts and graphs. Table set will be of use to you i hope.
