I've made a crosstab in crystal report like below:
However, as you can see, the ordering is weirld (i.e. the correct one should be like below:)
And the ordering is stored in another field called order, I took a look in the crystal report's cross-tab expert sorting option, it doesn't allow me to order by another column, it only allows me to sort either ascending or descending, how can I set the ordering by another column?
Crosstab's sorting is based on the rows order, if you want to sort it in your on you have to add some extra rows and have to suppress subtotal and Label in Customize Style of Crosstab Expert
Example:
If you have 3 rows(A,B,C) to display and you have to sort it in order like B,C,A then you have to add 2 new rows(B,C) now your Crosstab looks like (B,C,A,B,C) now you have to suppress Rows B and C you meet your both requirements for sorting and display order
But This solution have some limitations like
if you want to export the report in Excel then it will add extra cells in grand total.
otherwise you are good to go.
Example:
If you have 3 rows(A,B,C) to display and you added one row and you suppress it to solve your sorting issue then in Excel its grand total looks like
A B C
a 1 3
b 2 2
---------------------------
Total: 3 5
Yes, you can not sort on another column. You must use any of one column as a header.
In Crystal report, sorting happened based on header column's value (That's why you see as per alphabetic).
I also face this issue and how I solved, that I am explain. You have to use a formula which have order, but either hide it or use a value like in this link.

Second option as per this link. (I think first you check this)

open crosstab expert, highlight the column that you want to reorder, go to Group Options and select in specified order. This will open another tab where you will have your available values listed there. Using the arrows on the right side you can move up or down your values and accommodate them in the order you want them to be displayed.
Simple way would be take order column from stored procedure to cross tab and set the order according to that column.
Then supress the order column and reduce the width of that column to minimum pixel so that it doesn't appear in cross tab.
Make the field you want to sort by a group field and hide it. To hide it, in the Crosstab Expert > Customize Style dialog select this group then use the Group Options area to Suppress Subtotal and Supress Label. Worked for me.
Use the order field as the grouping column and change the label for said column to show the actual sizes. The labels can be changed in Crosstab Expert, Grouping Options and then the tab Options.

I want to create a report like
in crystal report cross tab.
The Table has the following data .
I can get the report with three expected columns like SELF, 50% and 75%.
and their output look like
But my requirement is to use Increases and NPCalculated Columns under Main Column as mentioned in pic 1 above.
Note: I used the NPCalculated in Summarized Fields but It gives me out like NPCalculated Value comes under Increases Value but It should be side by side as per my requirement.
First I add NPCalculated column in Summarized field and now I have two summarized fields. Next, right-click one of the summary cells > Summarized Field lables > Summarize horizontally.
how can I achieve below layout using a crosstab? Month in the top of the columns and columns below with their own names.
thanks
In the Cross-Tab Expert you can create groupings like this by just adding more columns (The outer-most groupings are those higher in the Column list). In your case, the first column of your Cross-Tab should be your record date with the option selected to print for each Month. Then just add the rest of your columns to your Cross-Tab as usual.
I have created the crosstab, added a formula that shows me the month name as column and the other fields as summarized fields. Then on crosstab expert -> Customized Style tab, under columns section I selected my grand totals, checked show labels and Horizontal and was able to get the desired layout. Thanks #Ryan
I'm trying to modify a report created in Crystal Reports 7 (which I know almost nothing about). I want to use a CrossTab, as this seems to be the best way to accomplish what I want. I have a column with three possible values: A, B, C. The cross tab creates three columns. I want to suppress C. How can I do this?
Also, is there anyway to create rows based on one field (i.e. a PK value), but display another - like a description? For example, if a list of states have a PK value of 1-50, I want them ordered by PK, but I want to display the state name.
All you ask is possible;
i suggest not to use cross tab: cross tab is intended for an uknown number of rows and columns (varying on data) ad for summarizing (max value, sum of values) results on a grid.
you should, instead:
Create a blank report
Drop the fields from the Field explrorer into the Details Section (just A and B columns)
Use Report Sort Expert to sort elements no the PK value
I am using a crosstab in crystal reports that has 3 grouping levels this can create a lot of subtotals across the rows. Often the subtotal row is useless if there is only one row it is summing from. Is it possible to supress subtotals where there is only one row of data? Leaving the useful subtotals (I know I can suppress the lot).
Illustration below this is how I currently have it:
This is how I would like it to be:
Notice the sub totals for the Middle Grouping B and T have been removed leaving just C as it has two distinct rows below it. To me that looks much cleared and I would be surprised if this can't be achieved.
I recommend skipping the Crystal Crosstab and making your own:
Make a subreport where you want the crosstab to appear (you may not need a subreport, but I'll assume you do).
Group the subreport by your 3 levels.
Drag & drop your fields onto your design however you want them.
In the group footer sections, add some custom field formulas with the sum({number},{group}) for the custom formula.
Using the section expert, suppress the fields as you see fit. The count({number},{group}) would be useful here.
It'll take a fair bit of tweaking to get it right, and of course the columns in your manual crosstab will be fixed, but this allows for the most customization.
Is it possible to hide a row in a crystal reports crosstab?
I have two rows that are only used to calculate a third row and I would like to hide them so only the result is visible to the user.
I have similar problem. I want to display only rows that have specific values and ignore all others.
Here was my solution:
Open Cross-Tab Expert. In Cross-Tab under Rows select your row which should be conditional suppressed. Then select Group Options. This will open Cross-Tab Group Options dialog. Go to Specified Order and add filter. In this case, rows that match your criteria will be displayed in your cross-table all other rows will be placed in one row "Others". Then select tab Others and check Discard all others.
Not directly. I recommend grouping by a custom formula.
For example, let's say you have a crosstab that is grouped by StoreName. StoreName has values groups "A", "B", and "C". You want to combine "B" and "C".
Make a new formula field. Call it StoreName_Combined. In your new formula, enter:
If {StoreName}="B" or {StoreName}="C" then "B+C" else {StoreName}
In your crosstab, use StoreName_Combined instead of StoreName.
Edit
If you look around a little, you may also think about using Cross-Tab Expert->Group Options->Options->Use a Formula as a Group Name, but I couldn't get it to work. The rows stay separate, they just have the same name, which doesn't really help.
