I am working on developing an SSRS report.I have a table in which student name and 6 subjects marks is stored in each row. My problem statement goes like this ---> lets say if 10 rows of data is present in table then I want to create report card/ marksheet for each student in new page but inside a same report. (I.e. 10 pages in one report). Then convert the report containing 10 pages to PDF format and save it in some folder.
Can anyone show some possibilities to achieve my problem statement.
Thanks in advance....
Usually you'll want to use a List object to separate your report by student. You would group the list by student in your report. Then set a Page Break in the List with the location to Between each group so that it separates each student into a separate page.
Then you can put charts, tables and other object inside the list and it will repeat with the list group (in your case, each student).
MSDN: Lists
In this report I made below, the List is highlighted in Red and groups by each site. It just has a table inside. When it's run each site gets it's own page with a list of their people.
Keep in mind that a List is actually just a Tablix with only one data cell - with the column and row headers removed.
I am using a database source as a text file, and display the information in six sequential Details Sections:
details1
details2
details3
details4
details5
details6
details1 had too many fields to display on a single row, so I added the last 3 remaining sections.
Now when I generate the report, the fields display in the wrong order. details4 shows after details1 as both has the same formula. Then details2 and details5 show, then details3 and details6. The report gets messy.
Is there any way where in I can display all six sections in their original order?
I have a view that I am using to display some information in Crystal report file. In some cases, view is supposed to return more than 1 record.
By default, in these cases, Crystal report take the last record and display that one. So, if I have two records with id A and B, I will see only the details of B.
I want to have an option where both A and B are displayed separated by comma.
E.g. if EmployeeDepartment in Employee table has two records (CIS, FINANCE) for employee A, then I want to see #EmployeeDepartment return "CIS, FINANCE" instead of just "FINANCE".
I have been trying to find a way to do this. Till now, I have gotten this far:
Base formula
Shared Stringvar store;
store:=store+{TBL_MR_Header.MRHD_Customer_Ref_No}+ ", "
Display formula
Shared Stringvar store;
store
When I run the report, base formula returns "B," instead of "A,B". Display formula on the other hand displays nothing.
I am unsure what I am missing here.
Edit:
I have created a query that returns the two value comma separated, in both records. So, both records display "CIS, FINANCE" instead of "CIS" and "FINANCE" respectively. Now, I have simple problem, how do I put this query in crystal report file? Only option I can find is to use that datasource expert tool but that does not allow updating query.
Edit:
I actually decided to go different route there. I tried putting the base formula in header and display formula in detail section, but that didn't work either. Turns out, one of my colleague tried a trick to solve similar problem. He used the C# code to call a T-SQL query, got the value in CSV format, and passed it as a parameter. It requires an extra trip to database, but it made it easier.
Bit of an odd question to word correctly, but I have an issue in Crystal Reports for Enterprise by SAP. I designed a report with 2 user input parameters (year & item1). Lets say they pick a year that has no item1, meaning the results object is empty.
They people reading the report still want what they selected in the title of the report with an accompanying "No Data Found", but the problem item1 is an ID, and they want the text representation of item1 which is a different column. When I drag that column onto the report it is of course null because the data comes from the results object which is empty at this time...
Is there any way to have a separate query that could just use the item1 ID to too look up the name, or am I out of luck because the selected parameters have no results?
I ended up creating a subreport that wasn't linked to the main report, thus having 2 separate data objects.
Ok, this might be a weird request, but is it possible to essentially flatten my dataset inside a crystal report?
I have a datatable in C# that was created with a join, so when it hits the report its 2 records. Most of the columns have identical data, with the last few displaying a different address.
Instead of printing the detail section multiple times with mostly similar data, I need to display 1 'record' with the common data printed once, and each records address arranged next it. As in, all the common fields displayed in one area, and then next to that the address fields from the record where 'AddressType = 1', then next to that the address fields where 'AddressType = 2'
Is this a subreport thing? Because even with subreports I can't get it to only print 1 detail section with the data from just the first record.
Is this even possible with crystal? For long drawn out reasons, I can't flatten the data before it gets to the report.
Ok, someone here in the office showed me the way, so I'll put this out there.
Given data with cols A,B,C all common and D,E different across multiple rows, this is how I 'flattened' the dataset in crystal:
Create a group based on col A, and put A,B,C inside that group header - get rid of the details section entirely
Create a subreport in the group header for each row of data, in my case 2 subreports
Inside each subreport, put fields D,E. Important: There are NO links for these subreports!
For each subreport go into the Select Expert and create a condition that shows only 1 particular row of data. This conditional will have the same field for each subreport, but different values. In my case it was AddressType='A', and AddressType='B'
This will produce 1 report, with A,B,C listed once, and D,E listed once for each subreport(once for each row of data)
This was confusing, time consuming, and I hate crystal reports now more than ever.
It would be pretty ugly, but you could add a group for each common field in Group Expert and then display the data for the common fields in the last group header. So if your common fields are field1 through field5, you would create five groups and put all five fields in the group header of field5. Then you would put the unique address fields (call them field field6 through field8) in the details section.
Now the trick is getting everything to line up correctly. You can set "underlay following sections" on the group header for field5; this will cause field1 through field5 to "fall down" into the details section. You just need to make sure that field6 through field8 are all to the right of field1 through field5 so the text does not overlap.
Now, if you want the two address records to print horizontally, I think you will need a subreport with multiple columns for that. But the same principle applies -- just make sure the subreport is to the right of field1 through field5 so the data doesn't overlap.
Have you tried the suppress if duplicated option on each non-address field?
Otherwise, you could group by the common id, put the common fields in that header, and then display the multiple addresses in the details section.
Or, you could remove the addresses from the datasource and use a subreport to fetch this data for each record. This would bypass the join and be the slowest option performance wise, due to having to select the addresses for each record.
Ok, firstly let's see if I understand this right :
You want a report that would be in the format
MainDetails Address(type1)
MainDetails Address(type2)
to instead be in the format
MainDetails Address(type1) Address(type2)
?
Assuming there are only two address types, you can do the following :
1) Group by Main details (whatever the unique entry is
2) Put the address details in the group header next to them, on the right
3) Also put the address details in the details section, but positioned as if they were in the Address(type2) column positions, so it looks like :
GH MainDetails Address
D.......................................Address
4) Next, add a sort to the report on the AddressType field, so that AddressType=1 shows first.
5) Add a conditional suppression formula to the Details section saying {AddressType=1}
6) Using the Section Expert, in the Group Header tick the 'underlay following sections' box
This should work as long as the number of addresses is either 1 or 2.
