I want to show in the report builder a string with the values from different rows that belong to the same id separating them by , for example:
id person= 1 , phone1
id person= 1 , phone2
So in the report builder I can show
person phones
1 phone1 ,phone2
You should be able to accomplish this by creating a group on the "id person" field and in "phones" columns use the expression =join(fields!id_person.value,",")

I have to insert data to db in form fields that have the same path and i want to save it different id's but rather it concatenated it with ",", how could i possibly do it?
I tried to make some alias in SQL but it saves into same db field name with concatenated with ","
i expected in db when i insert that
EX.
db field name = description
input 1 value = "john";
input 2 value = "doe";
id description
1 john
2 doe
above is my expected result
but in my case when i insert it shows these
id description
1 john,doe
can someone help me to achieve that result ? THANKYOU!
Let me present a similar situation. You have a database of people and you are concerned that each person might have multiple phone numbers.
CREATE TABLE Persons (
person_id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT,
...
PRIMARY KEY(person_id) );
CREATE TABLE PhoneNumbers (
person_id INT UNSIGNED,
phone VARCHAR(20) CHARACTER SET ascii,
type ENUM('unknown', 'cell', 'home', 'work'),
PRIMARY KEY(person_id, phone) );
The table PhoneNumbers has a "many-to-1" relationship between phone numbers and persons. (It does not care if two persons share the same number.)
SELECT ...
GROUP CONCAT(pn.phone) AS phone_numbers,
...
FROM Persons AS p
LEFT JOIN PhoneNumbers AS pn USING(person_id)
...;
will deliver a commalist of phone numbers (eg: 123-456-7890,333-444-5555) for each person being selected. Because of the LEFT, it will deliver NULL in case a person has no associated phones.
To address your other question: It is not practical to split a commalist into the components.
I am trying to create a report which has addresses in form of house Nbr and street Name. I want to group all address by street name and then order them by house nbr which is a string but should sort like a number. Ideally i would like the odd ascending and then the evens descending so that my list would look like
1,3,5,7,9 .... 8,6,4,2
How would i go about this ? I created first group on street name and then 2nd group on house number with a formula for sorting of nbrs
i created a Formula Field OddEven with
ToNumber({tbl_FarmMaster.sano}) MOD 2
but i am having hard time applying that to my group
Create two formulas like below. Let's call them oddFirst and negativeEven.
oddFirst formula:
ToNumber({tbl_FarmMaster.sano}) MOD 2 == 1 then
1 //it is odd
else
2 //it is even
negativeEven formula:
if ToNumber({tbl_FarmMaster.sano}) MOD 2 == 1 then
ToNumber({tbl_FarmMaster.sano}) //it is odd
else
-ToNumber({tbl_FarmMaster.sano}) //it is even, note the negative sign
Then create two groups to sort:
first by the formula oddFirst
second by the formula negativeEven
Show the {tbl_FarmMaster.sano} field.
I have a table of provinces and a table of cities with ProvienceID. In a form, I want to create a list of cities filtered by selected value of provience list.
How can I do that?
I can create both lists but Cities list shows all cities from all provinces but i want to show only cities from the province that I have selected in Provinces list.
I have another table "Users" with "CityID" and "ProvinceID" that my form edits it and I need to save selected values of Province and City Lists in it, not only show it in the form.
Create two example tables named "Provinces" and "Cities".
ProvinceID Name
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
0 South
1 North
2 Large Midwest
3 Southeast
4 West
CityID Name ProvinceID
~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~
0 Big City 2
1 Very Big City 2
2 Rural Village 1
3 Mountain Heights 0
4 Coastal Plains 4
5 Metropolis 2
Create a query called "ProvinceNames":
SELECT "Name" AS "Province"
FROM "Provinces"
ORDER BY "Province" ASC
Create a query called "Province of City":
SELECT "Provinces"."Name" AS "Province", "Cities"."Name" AS "City"
FROM "Cities", "Provinces" WHERE "Cities"."ProvinceID" = "Provinces"."ProvinceID"
ORDER BY "Province" ASC, "City" ASC
In the form, create a table control based on the query "ProvinceNames".
Using the Form Navigator (or the Form Wizard), create a subform for query "Province of City".
Right-click on subform and choose Properties. Under Data tab:
Link master fields "Province"
Link slave fields "Province"
Create a table control for the subform as well. Now, the cities shown in the subform control depend on the province selected in the main form control.
EDIT:
Here is an example using a filter table to store the current value of the list box. Create two more tables named "Users" and "FilterCriteria".
UserID Name ProvinceID CityID
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
0 Person1 1 2
1 Person2 2 0
RecordID ProvinceID CityID
~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
the only 0 0
We'll also need two Basic macros which can be stored in the document or in My Macros. Go to Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros -> LibreOffice Basic.
Sub ReadProvince (oEvent as Object)
forms = ThisComponent.getDrawPage().getForms()
mainForm = forms.getByName("MainForm")
cityForm = forms.getByName("CityForm")
listboxProvince = mainForm.getByName("listboxProvince")
listboxCity = cityForm.getByName("listboxCity")
selectedItemID = listboxProvince.SelectedValue
If IsEmpty(selectedItemID) Then
selectedItemID = 0
End If
conn = mainForm.ActiveConnection
stmt = conn.createStatement()
strSQL = "UPDATE ""FilterCriteria"" SET ""ProvinceID"" = " & selectedItemID & _
"WHERE ""RecordID"" = 'the only'"
stmt.executeUpdate(strSQL)
listboxCity.refresh()
lCityCol = mainForm.findColumn("CityID")
currentCityID = mainForm.getInt(lCityCol)
cityForm.updateInt(cityForm.findColumn("CityID"), currentCityID)
listboxCity.refresh()
End Sub
Sub CityChanged (oEvent as Object)
listboxCity = oEvent.Source.Model
cityForm = listboxCity.getParent()
mainForm = cityForm.getParent().getByName("MainForm")
lCityCol = mainForm.findColumn("CityID")
selectedItemID = listboxCity.SelectedValue
If IsEmpty(selectedItemID) Then
selectedItemID = 0
End If
mainForm.updateInt(lCityCol, selectedItemID)
End Sub
Now we need to set up the form like this. In this example, I used two top-level forms instead of a subform. ProvinceID and CityID text boxes are not required but may be helpful in case something goes wrong.
To start creating this form, use the form wizard to create a new form and add all fields from the Users table.
Now, in the Form Navigator, create a form called "CityForm". Content type is SQL command, and Content is:
SELECT "RecordID", "ProvinceID", "CityID" FROM "FilterCriteria"
WHERE "RecordID" = 'the only'
Next, create the "listboxProvince" list box under MainForm. Data Field is "ProvinceID", and List content is the following Sql.
SELECT "Name", "ProvinceID" FROM "Provinces" ORDER BY "Name" ASC
Finally, create the "listboxCity" list box under CityForm. Data Field is "CityID", and List content is the following Sql.
SELECT "Name", "CityID" FROM "Cities" WHERE "ProvinceID" = (
SELECT "ProvinceID" FROM "FilterCriteria"
WHERE "RecordID" = 'the only')
Macros are linked under the Events tab of each control.
Assign "After record change" of the MainForm to ReadProvince().
Assign "Changed" of listboxProvince to ReadProvince().
Assign "Changed" of listboxCity control to CityChanged().
The result allows us to select the Province to filter the list of Cities. Provinces and Cities that are selected are saved in the Users table.
There is another approach which may be better that I have not had time to explore. Instead of the "FilterCriteria" table, apply a filter to the Cities list. The relevant code in ReadProvince() would look something like this.
cityForm.Filter = "ProvinceID=" & selectedItemID
cityForm.ApplyFilter = True
cityForm.reload()
cityForm.absolute(0)
Whatever approach is taken, a complete solution requires complex macro programming. To make it easier, you may decide to use a simpler solution that is not as powerful. For more information, there is a tutorial at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46470.
EDIT 2
A solution that requires fewer queries is at https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/143186/how-to-use-user-selected-value-from-combobox1-in-combobox2-select-statement/?answer=143231#post-id-143231. The second list box is based on a list of values instead of an SQL query.
I'm using Crystal Reports XI.
My data is coming from a dataset.
I have 2 tables which are related as follows:
Product(ProdID(PK), ProdName)
ProdPC(ProdPCID(PK), ProdID(FK), PCType, ProdCode)
The 'PCType' field determins the type of barcode format the 'ProdCode' represents. (E.g. EAN13, EAN8).
In crystal reports one 'Product' can have more than one kind of barcode which means my tables end up looking like this:
Product: ("1", "Example Product 1")
ProdPC: ("0", "1", "EAN8", "01234567"), ("1", "1", "EAN13", "012345678910")
In crystal reports I only want to print 1 barcode label for per product. However because they're are 2 records in the 'ProdPC' table, I will get 2 labels being printed for this 1 product.
What I want to do is place a condition in crystal reports which states, "If EAN13 is NULL then display EAN8, ELSE display EAN13"
I do not have access to the dataset and cannot prevent the application which calls Crystal Reports to create the barcode labels from sending more than 1 record for the 'ProdPC' table.
How can I create my conditional statement, purely in 'Crystal Reports 2008'?
What I have tried so far is:
IF {PartPC.PCType} = "EAN-13" AND {PartPC.ProdCode} <> "" THEN
{PartPC.ProdCode}
ELSE
/* DISPLAY PartPC.ProdCode containing EAN8 value */
;
But I am unsure how to then tell Crystal Reports to display the 'ProdCode' value where 'PCType' is equal to 'EAN8'
Group your report by Product ID.
Order your report by PC Type descending (within Product ID).
Include your report details in the Product ID footer (not the details section).
Option I: create two columns: one for each bar code. Do this in Crystal Reports.
Remove the PartPC table, replacing it with two SQL Expression fields:
// {%EAN-8}
(
SELECT ProdCode
FROM PartPC
WHERE ProdID=Product.ProdID
AND PCType='EAN-8'
)
// {%EAN-13}
(
SELECT ProdCode
FROM PartPC
WHERE ProdID=Product.ProdID
AND PCType='EAN-13'
)
Then create a formula field to display the appropriate one:
// {#barcode}
If Not(Isnull({%EAN-13})) Then
{%EAN-13}
Else
{%EAN-8}
Option II: alter the SQL to create to scalar-valued fields. Do this in your dataset or in a Command object (Crystal Reports).
SELECT Product.*,
(
SELECT ProdCode
FROM PartPC
WHERE ProdID=Product.ProdID
AND PCType='EAN-8'
) EAN_8,
(
SELECT ProdCode
FROM PartPC
WHERE ProdID=Product.ProdID
AND PCType='EAN-13'
) EAN_13
FROM Product
...
My report returns a default of;
"My cat is Fat and Lazy"
Field_1 Field_2
======== ========
1 Sleek
2 Athletic
However I want to replace 'Fat' with 'Sleek' and 'Lazy' with 'Athletic'
So the final string will read ;
"My cat is Sleek and Athletic"
My question is this, can I make the report pick up (via a formula) that if Field_1 = 1 to replace Fat with 'Sleek'?
Field_1 is static but Field_2 is dynamic and the values will change on depending on the data.
Depending on how you're pulling the data you could do this in a couple of ways:
In the SQL add a CASE statement:
CASE WHEN field_1 = 1 THEN 'sleek' ELSE field_2 END AS modified_field_2
In a formula field (Crystal syntax used in example):
if { table_name.field_1 } = 1 then 'sleek' else { table_name.field_2 }
Edit:
Please see the following link for an example of how to join a table to itself (a self-join) in order to "link" the two records to get the full sentence: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/59566/16
