I have a report which lists all employee timesheets (grouped). Each employee will have a record for each day (5 records in total) per group. I want to suppress ALL records for a employee if ANY of the 5 records has a value in a particular field (called "uniqueAttachID").
Basically, if the "uniqueAttachId" is blank, it tells me that the record does not have an attachment and I want to see all employees where this is the case. The attachment can be added to ANY of the 5 records therefore, if ANY of the records HAS data is this field, then I want the whole section of the group suppressed.
You can use below trick to achieve your requirement,
1] create a summary on uniqueattachedID across the group. This summary will give you sum of uniqueattachedID column. Suppress this summary.
2] Now go to the Section Expert of the group. Write formula for Suppress.
3] In formula you will write
if summary column (select this from reports field) > 0 then true
else false
I hope this helps!
If you want to suppress ALL records (Group and Detail), you will have to go into Section Expert, and in the suppress formula for each section of your report that you want to suppress, you enter
uniqueAttachID <> ""
That will suppress each section if uniqueAttachID has a value. You may need to adjust the formula if uniqueAttachID is a numeric field.

What I would like to do is either suppress a group or (if possible) write this in to a selection record.
The goal would be to display all records in the group if any one of the records in the group meet the requirements.
For example if my group has three records and my requirement is that one of the records have a specific value in one field. Then display all three records in that group. Otherwise, if none of the three have that value then suppress the group.
I know where I need to put the formula and I thought the following would work but instead it only gave me the records that met the requirement not the others that accompany it.
Placed in the suppress group formula field:
if {table.field} <> "1" then true else false
Any thoughts on this?
Looks like I got it figured out. Here's what I did:
Create a Formula Field to check if the value exists in the record as follows:
if {table.field} = "X" then 1
Create a Summary Field of the formula field just created and sum the total for the formula field effectively counting how many records in that group have the value sought after.
Go to Section Expert for the desired group and Suppress using the following formula.
if Sum ({#Formula}, {table.field_2}) < 1 then true
I have a report with three groups:
Project
RFI
Status
I am conditionally suppressing groups 2 and 3. In each suppress formula section respectively, it says
{?Sort}="RFI" (or "Status")
It does the suppression correctly. However, when it is sorted by Status, the status field is not in ascending order. Does anyone know hwy this would happen?
I can't choose a table in the Group Sort Order Formula either:
Suppressing report sections will have no bearing on how the records are sorted. A report will always have its records sorted from the outer-most group field to the inner-most group field. In your report, the records will first be sorted by "Project", then by "RFI", and finally by "Status" regardless of what you are or are not suppressing.
If you want to choose which field to sort the report by via a parameter, then you should create a formula field and sort by that instead. So something like: if {?Sort}="RFI" then {table.RFI} else {table.Status} but you'll need to get rid of your RFI and Status groups first.
I have a crystal report - showing some financial data. As normal with financial data we have several general ledger accounts - which are grouped hierarchically. We are using grouping in Crystal report with some totals on hierarchical groups.
There are some rows where the values are zero. The groups also have total of zero as a result of this. We need to hide these rows. If we try to check the sum of the field - on the group level - it hides all the parent rows (since they themselves do not have any value - only values are derived from the child rows).
Need some way to do this in crystal?
You can suppress rows base on a condition.
In the menu go to Report->Suppress Expert...
Select the details line then select the formula button next to Suppress
You only need to put the condition that will be true to suppress the line
{[Your value field]} = 0
For groups, you will need to find the sum of your total for that particular group
SUM({[Your value field]}, {[field you are using to grouped by]}) = 0
I have a view which shows data on crystal reports where I have fields like tariff,rental,shares,gross and net.My problem is if someone changes the tariff in database it would show 2 rows of the same record with different tariff which is normal behavior from database point of view but I want to suppress the field of monthly rental to 0 if the same id has different tariff or the rental is repeated in new record.
ID Tariff Rental
1 20 390
1 15 390
I want the field of Rental on reports to be suppressed if duplicates based on id.Currently I have used this formula in crystal report to check previous field data and suppress if duplicate.
{DatabaseField}=Previous({DatabaseField})
It is working fine but if the id is not same and the rental is repeated then also it will suppress which I don't want.I want it to suppress only for same id.
You have to write the formula into field suppress. (No need on suppress if duplicated)
On Rental Field
{ID} = previous({ID}) and {rental} = previous({rental})
If ID and Rental are same then only the Report will suppress Rental.
I guess this will work for you.
In Crystal Reports, right-click on the Details section and select Section Expert.
In the Section Expert dialog box, select the X + 2 button beside the Suppress command. The check box must remain unselected for this formula to work.
In the Formula Editor dialog box, create a conditional formula containing the Next function to evaluate the records for duplicate values and to suppress the Details line
example:
{Table.Databasefield}=Previous({Table.Databasefield})
I had to make a slight change to the formula in the solution by Janarthanan by adding parenthesis to make it work with Crystal XI.
I used:
{ID}=previous({ID}) and {rental}=previous({rental})
this formatting variation, which is presented in the edited question, helped me to solve a similar problem.
Put this in suppress formula of field to hide.
if {myTable.ID} = previous({myTable.ID}) then
true
else
false
I want to create multiple groups in ireport, and the data should display in a group-wise manner.For Eg:
First the Group1 data should be printed completely, then,
Group1:
Module Data
After this i want to print the Group2 data completely
Group2:
Category data
I am using the Result Set datasource.
Can Someone help me in this?
Jasper reports will work exactly in this manner as long as your query results are ordered properly.
For example, let's say you are grouping by a field called "MY_GROUP" and it has values "GROUP A" and "GROUP B". In your report you will create a group for field "MY_GROUP". In your query, make sure you have MY_GROUP as the first field in your ORDER BY clause. You can also accomplish this in iReports by adding the "MY_GROUP" field as your the first field in the Sort Options section of the Report query.
Now that you have added your group and are ordering properly your results will come out like this:
Header - GROUP A
Detail - GROUP A
Footer - GROUP A
Header - GROUP B
Detail - GROUP B
Footer - GROUP B
Exactly as you wish. My guess is that you were not properly ordering your query results. This could result in having multiple groupings for GROUP A, GROUP B, etc. all interspersed.
If groups in iReport don't keep all the data together, use subreports. When Jasper gets to a subreport, it runs the whole subreport and puts the whole thing into the report. You could have something like:
Subreport 1 - Group 1
Group 1 first record
Group 1 second record
Group 1 third record
...
Group 1 last record
Subreport 2 - Group 2
Group 2 first record
Group 2 second record
Group 2 third record
...
Group 2 third record
It's exactly as Tom said. Jasper Reports Groups do not order the data retrieved from the query, they just take it in the order it comes.
In order to display the information in a group-wise manner, you have to add an ORDER BY to the query so the rows the report receives are already ordered.
So there is an issue that happens when you use multiple group headers. The first header behaves like expected ordered by Column Value A only on unique values. The 2nd header using Column Value B will print on every row despite being non-unique values.
In theory you should be able to use ORDER BY:
ORDER BY ValueA, ValueB
to properly display the report assuming you are using sql, plsql, etc... However, in my case that did not happen, though for others it seems to work.
Use subreports to attach the minor differences via unique reports. You create a root report with empty details. Then you create Unique reports to serve as sub reprots. Finally, you use the subreport element to link the values into the root report. Though that is a good bit of work and may cause repeat code.
A hacky way I used was: A mixture of "Print When Expressions" with logical boolean expressions with 2 group headers and a column header.
Boolean Expressions:
$F{QUERY}.equals(Query1) && ($P{P_Typequery}.equalsIgnoreCase("QueryA") && $P{P_parameter} == null)
and
$F{QUERY}.equals(Query1) && ($P{P_Typequery}.equalsIgnoreCase("P_QueryA") && $P{P_parameter} != null)
with two group headers and a column header. The column header will not repeat for every row so you assign one of the booleans expressions to it's "print when" so it does not always print. The first group header will not repeat for every row and works. The 2nd group header is used for the times you DO want it to repeat for every unique value since it always prints for every row, and you use the other boolean on it's "print when". Hope it helps
