I have created a crystal report that is populated by a View. I have 4 parameters. I want to be able to filter by one parameter at a a time.
Parameters are Studio, Division, Supervisor, Date. I need to be able to filter by any parameter alone. So, if I filter by Studio I need all data for that studio no matter what the division, supervisor or date are. I need to be able to do that with all 4 parameters.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Using version 14.1.6.1702
I actually figured it out. 4 parameters pop up at the same time when the report is opened. The user just has to choose which one he wants to filter by and the other 3 parameters the user adds all values. This accomplishes what I needed.
To filter by a single division:
area - choose all values
studio - choose all values
division - choose only 'east' division
date - choose all values
This will result in all areas, studios, and dates that correspond to the east division.

In my main report I get a (small) list of string values from the data base. I then want to use this list for selecting records in a subreport, along with other input parameters:
The user shall be able to select records based on a range of begin and end date -- this is easy using an input parameter of type java.util.Date with "Is For Prompting" set to true. Another criteria shall be one or more items from a list showing values from a data base field. I could define the list in the report template, but then I'd have hard-coded strings (filled from the data base, but at definition time only).
Now the dilemma is: If I define the input parameters in the main report, I cannot get the values for the list beforehand; if I define them in the subreport, I get no prompt at all, so there's no way to set any of them.
So the report requires values for start and end date, and a list of string values to select from (multiple itmes can be selected). This list shall be built from values from the data base. In the subreport all these values shall be joined into a filter for the records. A user shall be able to define the dates and select items from the list manually before executing the report.
Is there a way to achieve this?
After some more hours of trial & error, and some more research, of course, I found that the keyword is "Query-based Input Controls". This documentation describes their creation on the JasperReports Server. Such input controls can be edited in Jaspersoft Studio as well, however, they actually work on the server only. Anyway, this is the solution to my problem.
I'm currently struggling with a calculation I'm trying to create in Tableau so any help you can provide would be great.
Basically I have a calculated field within Tableau called [ExampleCount] which is a count distinct based on a simple Yes/No condition.
I have this information displayed on two separate sheets in a dashboard, one filtered for the current activity month and one for the previous.
What I now need to do is have another sheet with the same calculation of [ExampleCount] but showing the difference between the current/previous months.
So: [ExampleCount (This Activity Month)] - [ExampleCount (Previous Activity Month)]
The Activity month is an integer value, currently ranging from 1 - 9.
I feel like this should be a simple calculation but I've tried several different methods and have been unable to come up with anything conclusive.
It would also be good if this could change periodically.
Kind Regards,

I am having two input for dates as below & want to set alert for that
Alert:- If difference between StartDate & EndDate is more than 6 months,it must generate alert / prompt panel showing text "Month Period exceed than 6",
& report should not proceed further, untill & unless the user select dates between six months.
As far as I know you cannot configure this in JaperReports Server as is, you'd need to implement some logic around import control validation which might be rather complex given the fact that input control rendering is based on a single template and lots of configuration.
However, you can implement the desired validation easily in the report itself:
create another parameter datediff that contains as default expression the calculation of the date difference in months (the parameter needs to be specified below the 2 date parameters)
The way to utilize this information depends now on your particular report design, here an example:
extend your report query with where clause and 6>=$P{datediff}. This would only return results if the date difference is less or equal to 6 months
add the no data band to your report and add there the desired error message.
modify your report configuration for when no data to no data section.
redeploy your report to JasperReports Server.
The desired behavior is now available.
I have an SSRS report which is reporting sales grouped by Month. One of the columns in this report is a calculated fields which takes 2 values and passes them to a custom code routine that is defined for this report. The textbox that is populated with the following code:
=Code.DivideBy(ReportItems!textbox21.Value, ReportItems!EarnedIncome1.Value)
All this Custom Code does is to divide the First Parameter by the Second Parameter (in this case whatever is in textbox21/EarnedIncome). The response is them shown on the screen as a percentage.
Below is an example of the report:

This worked great. What we are trying to do now is to graphy the % that is in the BDX Loss ratio column which is figured out by the formula above (dividing Losses by Earned Premium)
When I try to copy the expression in the chart data and set the Category Groups to PeriodYearMonth (same as all the others), then I get a straight line.
I have no idea where to go next. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
I agree with #Neil. You can also Add the Calculated field in you data set properties. Take a look at the following screen. You can set the expression to calculate the data for your line chart.
Hope this helps!
I would suggest doing the calculation in your query and then using that computed column in SSRS. If you need help figuring out how to do that, let me know.
I need to create a report in Crystal 2008 and I've haven't developed a report using Crystal in many years.
When the user runs the report, I want them to be able to enter a start date and end date. I assume I can do this by using parameters. My question is this. Can I do this with a single parameter value or will it require two parameter values? Ideally what I would like to do is to allow the user to enter a start and end date in one parameter/prompt combination. Is this possible?
Thanks - Randy
This is possible and what your talking about is a ranged parameter value.
Create an parameter in Crystal Reports
set the type to Date
In the options Area. you will see a option called Allow range values. Set this to true.
