I've been unsuccessful in determining how to make the "Category" column only display the value once per grouping, as it is grouped on its self.
Here is what I have:
I would like to make it so that "Beverage" and other following grouped categories only display once. It also needs to be in-line with the first description item.
Thanks!
Ok!,
I figured it out. In order to do so, you need to go to the text box's properties and in format set "Yes" to "Hide Duplicates".
here is an image:
Hide Duplicates is the 6th to last item on the format tab of the control properties window.
Cheers!

I am trying to display a list of open indents with check boxes before them each line. Based on the selection a report will be generated next with further details.
Table: xxind_mstr (xxind_nbr, xxind_shipto, xxind_askedby, xxind_date).
Is there any way that I can bring the records from xxind_mstr and place them in the FORM with check boxes ?
Note: This only works if dynamic. Never hardcode this approach.
Name each check box with the value of ROWID(xxind_mstr).
This way on the post you can read back through the each xxind_mstr getting the value of the the rowid.

I'd like some more info, just to know if I'm not talking rubbish here. You want to display the records in xxind_mstr as checkboxes, then upon selection of the report setup, fire the report respecting the checkboxes flagged? If so, then I'd use a browse pre-built with a temp-table containing the xxind_mstr records, and a "flagged" field, this being a logical view-as checkbox, and when they run the report, do a
FOR EACH ttxxind_mstr WHERE flagged = true, and you should have what you want.
I'm new to SSRS. These may be very trivial questions.
I've a SSRS report, which shows employees in row by row format. Is there any way that I can double click on a row and get the corresponding employeeID of the row. And another question is can I have check boxes in each of the rows so that I can do something based on the rows that was checked? Please help.
Thanks in advance.
To your first question regarding dynamically hiding and showing the employeeid, you would want to use the Visibility property on the employeeid column,row or textbox and set visibility to "HIDE" and check "Display can be toggled by this report item" This will allow you to interactive show/hide the data.
Toggled Item Example
Another quick and easy option would be to set the tooltip property of one of the employee textboxes to
=Fields!EmployeeID.Value
This would give you the employeeid without clicking anything, just hovering over the field.
For your second question about checkboxes, the easy answer is no, it's not built-in to do that. But I have seen interactive "game" reports that run stored procedures to update data as you click on textboxes (which you could make to appear as checkboxes) and drill-through to itself to show refreshed data, but it's more of a hack than actual functionality. Here's a link to one of the examples I've seen.

When I view a particular FileMaker Pro layout, the calculated field Invoice Check Grouping shows up as blank when viewed in either list or grid mode. However, while in grid mode, if I click on a particular Invoice Check Grouping cell, the expected value appears.
In the above image, note how only the currently selected Invoice Check Grouping cell's value shows. I would expect all cells in that column to correctly show their values all the time.
How would I get this column's value appearing all the time? (Note: Invoice Check Grouping is a computed/calculated field.)
Thank you,
Ben
There's something wrong with either the formula itself or, perhaps, the field's formatting. E.g. it could be that the calculation type is set to Number, and the field's Number formatting is set not to show the value when zero. If this is not the case, I'd check the field's conditional formatting rules and then the formula itself.
So I am trying to suppress a specific bar on my bar graph. So instead of populating the graph from the database, I am populating it from a formula field. So in my formula field, I have something like this:
if field <> "Member" then
formula = field
So it gets rid of the field however it leaves me with this:
I know I can make a subreport that gets rid of that field from the beginning, but I was hoping to avoid creating a subreport for this.
Any ideas? Thanks!!
Instead of leaving the group name as blank when the field is "Member", I suggest changing it to be the same as another group which you can always expect to appear on the report - perhaps "SR not handled timely".
This would lump in all the member values with the other group's values, so if you haven't already done so, I suggest graphing the value of a derived field which is set to 0 for "Member". (I suspect you have already done this, as the blank group is showing a value of 0.)
The least error-prone method is probably the subreport. If this report is very dynamic, and you always want to hide group A in the graph regardless of it's value, then this is the best way to go.
If a static number of groups will be appearing in your graph, you can limit to display the top N groups. i.e. If there are 7 groups total, and you only want to hide 1 of them (which always has a value of 0), then you can display the Top 6 groups (picture is of Crystal XI):
Thanks for all the help guys, the data will be pretty dynamic.. So I am going to go with the subreport. I will add those little tricks to my toolbox though! Thanks again.
Alternatively, you can set a "specific order" and only include the values you want to include in your graph. In the "Other" tab you need to select "Discard all others".
We are using Crystal Report 12 in one of our projects. Currently I need to create report template which should show different icons based on the some field value.
That field contains a number, storing some kind of status and I have several icons corresponding some statuses.
At the moment I can't figure out how to implement such a thing in Crystal Reports designer.
Could someone please help me?
Showing and hiding graphical objects in CR based on a formula is almost exactly like showing and hiding text labels based on certain criteria.
First, you need to add each icon to your report detail section by choosing the Insert menu, and then select Picture...
Once all your icons are inserted, you will need to edit the suppression formula by right-clicking on each icon and choosing Format Graphic. On the first tab of the Format Editor, you have a Suppress option just like you do for other report objects. Click on the formula button next to Suppress to add a suppression formula to the icon describing when it should be shown or hidden.
I was also searching for the similar solution and this helped me. These steps works.
To display a particular picture, based on a column value, right click on picture> Format Graphic> Suppress (do not check)
And write formula, for example
ColorCode= '110'
(Based on column name ColorCode if column value is '110' I am displaying the picture)
