I have created a report that has a start and end date parameter. These are created and referenced in the where query. They work fine in the main report, but even when I link them to the subreport, the subreport keeps looking through all the fields and take too long to launch. Any suggestion how can I make the sub-report too look for records in the specified range only?
I have created the links with the Select data in subreport based on field, unchecked and the select expert formula is set as shown below
{Command.program_code} = {?Pm-Command.program_code} and
{#appointment_date} in {?Pm-?from} to {?Pm-?to} and
{Command.SITEID} = {?Pm-Command.SITEID}

am very new to jasper report
also I have tried looking at videos but can not seem to get this one concept
basically there is this main query which i have
select * from table
which is populated in the details area
however i want a second query
select count(*) from table where name = "tim"
and put the count on the footer
can this be done using jasper
any tutorial to this concept or guidance would be helpful
to sum up the details area should show all the data where as the footer should only show counts of a few things.
You can only have one DataSet (therefore query) for the report. In your case this is your main report select * from table, which seems to be working well.
You have two options for adding the information you want:
(and I would say the better option) is to add a variable $V{tim_count} which is configured as:
initial value 0
expression value "tim".equals($F{name}) ? 1 : 0"
calculation function sum
there are multiple ways to increment this variable, so I'll leave that with you. In the footer you would then add a text field with the $V{tim_count} variable as it's contents.
You can read about variables here https://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/variables
You can add an object that has it's own DataSet:
Table
List
Subreport
You would then be able to add your query to that object and display it appropriately. As you can see, displaying a COUNT is not really the most appropriate way to do this.
Note - I don't suggest this way
Using Crystal Reports XI, I have a main report. In this report, I have a Formula Field named XXXCompanyFilter. This is set programmatically at run time and I want to pass it to a subreport.
I add a subreport that has a stored procedure as an input parameter. The parameter is named #co.
A Parameter Field is automatically created in my subreport called #co.
I return to my main report and right-click the subreport and choose Change Subreport Links. I choose the Formula Field XXXCompanyFilter from the Available Fields list and move it to the Field(s) to link to: list.
At this point I expect to be able to choose the subreport's #co parameter in the Subreport parameter field to use: drop down, but it is not there. I have unchecked the Select data in subreport based on field: checkbox.
I've tried selecting the ?Pm-#XXXCompanyFilter option, and that (I think) causes a new subreport parameter to be created:
After that, I do get the new subreport parameter to show in the drop down:
However, this new parameter doesn't seem to do anything, and I'm still prompted to enter the #co subreport parameter whenever I run the report. If I enter a value for the #co parameter the report returns the data I expect.
I've created several subreports to see if the behavior changes. I've tried it with the subreport wizard and with subreports I've created normally. I always get a 2nd, non-useful subreport parameter and the #co parameter is never set, so I am prompted for it.
I feel like if I could select the #co parameter in the drop down list it would work as needed.
I've checked out multiple SO posts, and I've googled the issue but everything I find says I'm doing it right. What am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do to make the #co parameter available in the drop down?
I solved this by specifying a database field in the Available Fields list when creating the subreport link and following the instructions in my original post.
Apparently it just won't work if you specify a Formula Field in the Available Fields list. I can't find any documentation on this but that's the conclusion I come to after reaching a solution by trial and error.
I have designed two pages and each page have different table.Currently my dataset return only one user details.So i have bind all details in table.
Requirement
In case data set return two user details ,need to print two user details.First two pages for first user and second two page for second user.
Is this possible in SSRS report? If yes please guide me.
As you already have a report working for a single user then I would normally do this with subreports.
Asumming your current report accepts a userid or similar as a parameter....
Create a new new report.
Add a dataset that returns a list of users that you want to produce the report for
Add a table and set its dataset property to the name of the dataset you just created.
You can remove the header row and all columns except one from the table
In the remaining cell, right-click and choose "insert Subreport"
Right-click the subreport placeholder and choose properties
Choose your original report as the subreport
Click the parameters tab and choose the subreport property name on the left side, choose the field from your dataset that contains the userid (or whatever value you pass as a parameter) on the right side.
That's pretty much it, when you run the new report, it will produce 1 row per user, in each row it will run your subreport.
You will need to use a matrix, specifically row groups, grouping by using user details, and possible inserting a page break between each instance. This should get you going in the right direction.
Maybe someone can Help me find the right technique.
I have a number of Crystal Reports that I am updating (Crystal Reports XI).
These reports each have an SQL Function associated with each that either retrieves records from the database (if any meet criteria) or returns an Empty Dataset (which happens daily).
These are executed in a batch process and directs the output to a PDF file which is emailed to users.
I am relatively new to Crystal Reports.
I am attempting to use a common SubReport to format/gather data for the Headers/Footers used in these documents. So far - most of this is working as I would expect. This allows me to use a single SubReport to generate the same Header/Footer in multiple reports (at least that's my goal).
However - I added a Report Footer section to the Main Report - my plan with this was to generate a Report Footer that would contain the following information:
A static Text Message that reads " --- END OF DOCUMENT ---"
The Report Title of the "Main Report"
The Date and Time that the Document was generated and Total Number of pages.
Sounds pretty simple.
So SubReport is named: "END-OF-DOCUMENT-SUBREPORT"
I used the "Special Fields" Data Date, Data Time, & Page N of M
Since the "Special Field" Report Title is returning me the "END-OF-DOCUMENT-SUBREPORT" value I used a Parameter field to pass the Report Title value from the Main Report to the SubReport.
This all works fine - HOWEVER - with the addition of the Linked Parameter Field from the Main to the SubReport - when I execute the report to generate the document - the SubReport ends up showing a blank Report Footer - that I can click on to reveal the "END-OF-DOCUMENT-SUBREPORT" in another Tab.
Without the Parameter field - it didn't do this and the information from the SubReport appeared on the last page of the document.
Is this a standard behavior of Crystal?
I'm not sure how to Suppress the "Drill Down" feature and still display the Report Section.
You can pass variable between you Main Report and sub Report. You can also create variable and assigned them to a sub report. As aMazing mention, creating Header and Report Footer sub report is not common. It is even messy. If you want something generic, I will create a report template that you will use in the future.
Have a good day!
I have a crystal report that takes only about 1/3rd of the report space.
I have field read from the database which is an integer value.
I wish to print this report number of times as read from the database on the same page.
Any idea on how this can be achieved?
I can only use crystal report for achieving this.
Thanks in advance.
You can create another report and add your current report as a subreport multiple times
Lan is correct, build another report and add your current report as a subreport.
Here's the trick:
On your main report, have it make a list of all of the items that
you'd like to run the sub-report on.
On your sub-report, add a parameter called "itemNumber" or something like that. Then change your Subreport Links so the new "itemNumber" parameter is linked to the item on your top level report.
Now hide the field on the main report but leave the
subreport visible.!
This should make your report run for all items at one time.
In this case you can create a table with the maximum number of prints you will ever use. For example if you think you might need to print the report 100 times your table should contain records from 1 to 100. So lets assume this is the case- create a table , name it Copies and add a field CopyNo. Create a 100 records and set CopyNo from 1 to 100. Create the a main report based on Copies table - the record selection formula will be something like :
Copies.CopyNo<=#NumberOfCopies
#NumberOfCopies is a parameter , which you can set in order to control the printed copies. Create your actual report as a subreport and place it in the details section of the main report. When you run the report it will ask you for the number of copies and when you insert it, will print the same subreport as many times as the number you provide.
