I have a number field in Crystal Report that must be shown in a specific format:
Eg:
12345678
must be shown as
1234-5678
I'm using a formula to transform the number to string, substring it 2 times and concatenate both values:
StringVar ordenT := Totext(GroupName ({DataTableInfCR.Orden}));
StringVar OrdenT1 := MID(ordenT,1,4);
StringVar OrdenT2 := MID(ordenT,4,4);
StringVar NroOrden := OrdenT1 +"-"+ OrdenT2;
However, the output for this code ends up being somthing like this:
12.3-45.6
I'm sure it because the default number format is with dots (ex: 12345678 will be 12.345.678)
How can I change the format via formula before my code??
Thanks!
To answer your question, to remove the decimals you use
StringVar ordenT := Totext(GroupName ({DataTableInfCR.Orden}),0);
or
StringVar ordenT := cStr(GroupName ({DataTableInfCR.Orden}),0);
EDIT:
See if this will take care of it all:
totext(GroupName({DataTableInfCR.Orden}),0,""),"xxxx-xxxx")

i want to split data to make it into array. so given for example: 12345678
i want to get string array like this => ["234","678"]
is it possible in crystal report?
Yes, it is possible. But the requirements are not clear.
Data type of input (string or Number?)
Logic: discard 1st character? Then, groups of 3 skipping the 4th character?
Here is formula code that takes "12345678" and returns "^234^678":
local stringvar myString := "12345678";
local stringvar myDelimitedString := "";
local numbervar StringLength := Len(myString);
local numbervar i;
For i := 1 to StringLength step 4 do
myDelimitedString := myDelimitedString + "^" + MID(myString, i+ 1, 3);
myDelimitedString;
I am creating a report by Crystal Reports which will mask address field depending upon parameter set to the report. I know this can be done using formula. I can successfully mask with hard coded value. However I need something like password masking. For example, if address is D/302 ABC apartment, it should be displayed as X/XXX XXX XXXXXXXXX. Only characters and numbers to be masked space and special characters not be masked. In addition length of masked data should match actual data.
I think you can use a formula like this:
Local StringVar str := "";
Local NumberVar strLen := Length({User.Address});
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 To strLen Do
(
if (ChrW({User.Address}[i]) in (AscW("A") to AscW("Z"))) or (ChrW({User.Address}[i]) in (AscW("a") to AscW("z"))) or (ChrW({User.Address}[i]) in (AscW("0") to AscW("9"))) Then
str := str + "X"
else
str := str + {User.Address}[i];
);
str
Logic is correct.. I have done the same thing by using Mid function instead of chrW (). No need to use asw () either. Simply use range operator.

Only problem is space will be also masked
I need to convert a string to time. What would be a good way to do this? Some fields are correct, but we are finding some without the :.
"093420" to "09:34:20"
I have tried(not working):
stringvar _time:={some time field};
stringvar _ftime:=_time;
if instr(_time,':') = 0 then
_ftime = mid(_time,1,2)+":"+mid(_time,3,2)+":"+mid(_time,5,2);
_ftime
You've got a bug... you're not using the assignment operator on line 4. Your code should read:
stringvar _time:={some time field};
stringvar _ftime:=_time;
if instr(_time,':') = 0 then
_ftime := mid(_time,1,2)+":"+mid(_time,3,2)+":"+mid(_time,5,2); //assignment op
_ftime
I am using CR version 13.0.2.000.I want to display the following Record
1,2,5,10,50,100
in the following way
$1
$2
$5
$10
$50
$100
I have tried the replace method and it successfully show the data columnwise but dont know how to append $ sign before the starting of each element
The formula i tried is given below
Replace({Table7.Value},",",chrw(10))
Keep in mind that you won't be able to use a formula to 'manufacture' rows; this will need to be done at the database.
If you just want to change the display, try:
// {#display}
Local Stringvar CRLF := Chr(10)+Chr(13);
// convert values to an array; 1,2,5,10,50,100
Stringvar Array tokens := Split({Table7.Value}, ",");
// join array
"$" + Join( tokens, CRLF + "$");
If you need to tally the array, try:
// {#aggregate}
Local Numbervar i;
Local Numbervar x;
// tally
for i := 1 to ubound(tokens) do (
x := x + ToNumber(tokens[i]);
);
// display
x
Try this solution. I tried by hardcoding strings and its worked for me.
WhilePrintingRecords;
Local StringVar Array x:=split({Table7.Value},",");
Local NumberVar i;
Local Stringvar y;
for i:=1 to Count(x) do
y:=y+"$"+x[i]+",";
Replace(y,",",chrw(13))
I have a list of words that I am searching through a "Notes" field within a table, that when I display that Notes field in my Crystal Report, I would like to somehow highlight (change font color) for only the specific flagged word within the note text string.
Example:
word list: Joe, Sarah, Amy, Jeff
note text: "I stopped by and talked with Joe to check on the account status, and Amy said hello."
desired result: Note text displays in the report with the words "Joe" and "Amy" in red.
I've tried using RTF and HTML in the Text Interpretation parameter within the properties, where I can successfully format the note text to either of these text outputs. However, I still don't know the right code to isolate and format the specific words from my list, especially if more than one of my words shows up within the field text.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
I know this is old, but i found it searching for an issue i had. The answered code works, but seemed a bit cluttered for me, and also i needed to be able to provide a list of words to highlight. Here is what i came up with.
Local Stringvar Array searchwords:=MakeArray("Joe", "Sarah", "Amy");
local stringvar notes:={Notes};
local numbervar i;
for i:=1 to count(searchwords) do (
notes:=replace(notes,searchwords[i],"<font color='red'>" & searchwords[i] & "</font>",1,-1,1);
);
notes
The only thing to note, is that this will find results when the search word is part of a larger word - i.e. "WORK" would be BOLDED in "Workshop".
While this works for our needs as we want "working","work","worked" etc. to all highlight, crystal reports not supporting Regex is quite a large downside.
I did something similar a couple of years ago:
StringVar SearchText := "has";
StringVar Htm1 := "<b>";
StringVar Htm2 := "</b>";
StringVar Result := "";
StringVar Temp := "";
NumberVar Start := 1;
NumberVar Ln := Len(SearchText);
NumberVar Loc := Instr({#TextField}, SearchText);
While Loc > 0 Do (
Temp := Mid({#TextField}, Start, Loc - Start) + Htm1 + Mid({#TextField}, Loc, Ln) & Htm2;
Result := Result + Temp;
Start := Loc + Ln;
Loc := Instr(Start, {#TextField}, SearchText);
);
Temp := Mid({#TextField}, Start);
Result := Result + Temp;
Result
In this case I am searching the field called #TextField for the value in SearchText and am bolding the values. Probably not the most efficient code, but it works.
