Cross tab issues / Crystal Report - crystal-reports

I am using SAP crystal report(version 13.0.8.1216) for VS2010.
I have made a cross tab which shows cost centers income month wise for one year.
jan feb mar
Costcenter1 10000 1000 1200
CostCenter2 120 1300 0
Similarly I have to show expense accordingly.
My two reports work fine separately but when i make one report, subreport of the other( as my selection criteria for both cross tabs is different even though they use same tables).
The subreport cross tab doesnt not extends to the second page. Only data that can come in first page of the main report is shown .
1. 'Keeping Object Together' is unchecked ( for all sections and all reports)
2. Suppress is also off
Any ideas? I tried placing my subreport in different sections also.. nothing seems to work .
Thanks

Crystal Reports 11 - New page after each parameter

I am running Crystal Reports 11 and I have a report that has 7 subreports that it pulls and when done, is multiple pages long. I have three parameters I ask for. I want to change one of the parameters to allow multiple fields so I don't have to keep refreshing it but I want the report to repeat for each field value I add.
Example, the report asks for month. I want to put in January, February and March into the field value. The report then should run for each of those months and give me one large report where January and all January data is back to back and then goes to February, etc.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Group the report at level one by Month.
In the Group Options tab (or in the GF1 section), turn on the 'New Page After' option.

How to use a report as subreport (with additional info) multiple times in a maintainable way?

So basically I have a report. I need this report to be printed as a 'set of reports'. Except that for each time the report is printed, there has to be a specific numbering at the bottom of the page. Where it would look something like this:
Page 1: Report + Page footer text 'Number 1'
Page 2: Conditions
Page 3: Report + Page footer text 'Number 2'
Page 4: Conditions
Page 5: Report + Page footer text 'Number 3'
Page 6: Conditions
And so on, for an undetermined amount of times..
In order to achieve this, I have created a main report, which currently contains 20 subreports, in order to achieve 20 pages (but I really I'd like this to be dynamical, maybe to be able to set the number of copies or something). Where each subreport consists of the single mentioned report (through the subreport 'Choose an existing report' option), with a custom text at the bottom.
The problem with this is that I can't maintain this. Every time an adjustment needs to be made to the original report, I will need to access 10 subreports and make the very same change or reload the report into this subreport.
What alternative ways of achieving my goal can you suggest, because this feels really 'dirty'. Thank you for reading.
I run Version 14.0.2.364 of Crystal Reports 2011
To achieve this, you need to use group and detail section in main report. For making adjustments with paging, each section has his own
page before
page after
reset page
So to help you a bit, you need to have your data in one datasource, and group by
Report/Conditions. For each group you can have only 1 subreport which will have link for that specific subreport (e.g. where barcod of smth is 1234) and there show your subreport data. For page number i would advise you to use my approach (for grouping) and then for page number you display group number (and that solves you all formulas for calculating pages).
If you are not familiar with grouping in Crystal, you can group your records in report by some fields by following image below
To summarize, try to define by which fields your reports has 20 subreports (probably some keys from database) and then group by that fields, examine advances of section expert and paging and you should be done in few hours making your report readable and easy to maintain.
Hope it helps

Sub Report /Main report cross tab fields difference,

I have a main report with a cross tab that shows Income of regions
Similarly a sub report is called in the main report that shows Expense of the same regions
Now I have to show the Deficit/surplus b/w the income and expense of each region.
How do I go about it? Any suggestions? I am trying shared variable but that just gives me the total difference between the two reports.
----------
Income Expense Surplus/Def
- Region1-- 1000 Region1 -- 500 -- 500
- Region2 -- 2000 Region2-- 2000 -- 0
- Region3-- 3000 Region3 -- 2000 -- 1000
- Total -- 6000 Total --- 4500 - 1500
p.s I can't seem to indent my columns for ease of reading above.
It is difficult to manuplate these kind of calculations in cross tab.. but one way around would be.
Approach 1:
As I see your cross tabs are simple hence instead of sub report use both corss tabs in main report it self.
For difference (Surpless or deficit) use 3rd cross tab and create the same hierarchy as of the first two and write difference formula.
Approach 2:
See the post below where I gave the answer to get the cross tab functionality without using the cross tab. Check the answer part in below link

Let me know how it goes.

Crystal Report: Comparing 2 Years item performance based on QTY sold

I am new to crystal.
I have to show the top 217 items based on the quantities shipped in 2014 and side by side 2013.
Is there way to put in one report the data.
Item1 in 2103 may not be the same as 2014.
I get the data from invoice history detail table, and add the qty shipped from all item and then sort the top 217 items on basis of the sum.
I can have them in 2 reports or the previous year data from sub-report,but then the sub report data will appear as row after the current year. however how can I put them in 1 report side by side for a better comparison.
Thanks for your help
Steps:
Create a report that does what you want for a single year (say 2013)--you'll probably want to use a top-N grouping.
Create a second report, without a datasource
import the first report into the second one (call it 'year N-1'); don't link the sub-report to the main
import the first report into the second report a second time (call it 'year N'); don't link the sub-report to the main
edit the second sub-report and set the date to 2014
If you want the report to be more flexible, create a parameter in the main report (named 'year'). Link this parameter to each of the sub-reports, changing the respective, record-selection formulas to use the value to calculate the correct date ranges.

How do I get a 3 page report in Jaspersoft iReport Designer 4.7

First of all: I've read this question but it is not working for me.
What I need:
I have an SQL query that returns a 3 column set with about 50 rows that looks like this:
year | month | number
2012 | 1 | 35
2012 | 2 | 24
2012 | 3 | 127
and so on. Now I need two different representations of this data. The first one is a 2D bar chart and the second one a table with the numbers presented. I managed to do both, but what I'd like to have for the whole report is, to have 3 pages in total.
First page should be a simple cover page with the title of the report, which I can get by simply adding the title band, as far as I've understood. The second page should be the bar chart (filling the whole page) and the third page should be the table (also filling the whole page).
I've tried the following and didn't get the result I need:
Created 2 subreports (1 for bar, 1 for table), added them both in a main report (in the details band) with a page break in between. The result was 2 pages, but the chart and the table filled only half of their page. When I tried to resize the subreports to the full size of the page I got the error message that they're out of range...
Created 1 report with 2 detail bands. Added the chart into the detail band 1 and the table into the detail band 2. This worked for both elements to be the full size of the page, but the whole compiled report now has 100 pages --> 2 pages for one row in my sql set
So how can I accomplish what I need!? Is it even the right tool to use? Or should I simply create two reports, export them as PDFs and combine the PDFs by hand?
My suggestion - in your SQL query, add a fourth column that concatentates your year and month (let's call that year-month). Create a detail band with the following fields: year, month, number. Create a summary band for your chart with year-month as your x-axis and number as your y-axis. Make the title and summary bands the size of your output paper. In iReport, right-click on the name of your report and go to the Properties box for the report. Check the box for "Summary on a new page."
