I am counting unique values in a crosstab, a blank value is also calculated as unique value.
For this purpose, an extra row is then correctly displayed in the crosstab. I would like to hide this row and can't find a way to do this.
For me, only the rows with a real number are relevant.
How do I suppress this complete row?
Crystal has no option to filter crosstab.
So you need to filter the report using a record selection formula.
If you can't filter the whole report because you need the blank cases in other areas of the report, place the crosstab in a filtered subreport.
I have a report with 2 suppliers. I want to show items ordered by the 2 suppliers. For that I am using a subreport.
For the 1st supplier there are 15 rows and second has 1.
But there are 2 many pages displayed. i.e. 92 pages. The values are repeated. Also a lot of empty pages are shown.
Please advise.

Mithnil,
In the complex1.jrxml query, how many rows are returned? You put the subreport in the detail band, and without any report groups it will execute whatever is in the detail band for each row of the report query. Maybe you need to work on the query to only include one row per vendor.
I have a report that has 3 columns and it is grouped by a value that i display in the group header. The report is setup to run down then across.
If the details span across multiple columns, how do I repeat that group header on the next column.
I have already checked "repeat group header on each page" in the group expert.
I have already checked "format groups with multiple column" in the Layout tab of the details section.
It will not let me insert a text object in the group header of each column.
Not sure how to do this. I could write a formula to only show at the top of each column, but not sure if there is a function to find out when the second column has started.
edit
What i want is below
Group Header Text Group Header Text Group Header Text
Detail Values Detail Values Detail Values
Detail Values Detail Values Detail Values
I would like to have the Group Header Text show at the top of each column. Doesn't matter if its the start of a new group or in the middle of the group.
thanks.
okay, I have your solution, the field, that you are grouping by , just place it on to the page header and it will repeat itself on every page until the columns of that group are finished.
Lets say you are grouping by Employee Names, just put the Employee Name field on to the page header and it should solve the issue, I jsut tried it and it worked, thanks.
There is Previous() function available in formulas that allows to show-hide a Text Object based on the change of specific field value from previous to current record.
Is this what are you looking for? Can you edit you question drawing a sample af what you have and what you want?
I'm trying to display rows of data in a as columns in a Crystal report....so that I get data from row one in column 1, data from row 2 in Column 2, etc....?
so to display vertically in one column. So as you look across columns you could see how things changed over time.
New to crystal need to know if this is possible.
Thanks
Try this
Right Click on a Section then go to Section expert and then check Format with Multiple columns
and then set your printing directions
Is it possible to have add a row to an SSRS 2008 Matrix that spans all of the matrix's columns?
This crude diagram shows roughly what I'm looking for:
The basic idea is that each line item is a person, and each column is a field in a form for that person. The fields themselves are dynamic (and implemented as column groups on the matrix). Additional column groups are included to append non-dynamic form fields, like the time the record was entered and who entered it. Under each person's record is a comments field, which should span all of the form fields above it.
At the moment I have the matrix embedded in another tablix, with the name and fields in the matrix and the comments in the parent tablix. This works for the data (each instance of the matrix ends up being one row), but the header repeats too often (once per person) because it's attached to the matrix. The only thought I have as to how to fix this is to create another matrix in the parent tablix with the same grouping and use it to display the headers... But this will require quite a lot of manual synchronization to keep the two matrices the same.
Edit: The key problem here is making the second row span multiple column groups.
Here's what you can do:
Select the column grouping you want to add above and right click and select
Add Group... Parent Group...
Group the column by something that will not aggregate the data. You'll have to select a field from your dataset to group by so that it creates an overlapping column grouping.
Check the Add group header box
You should now see something similar to this:
Now you just need to move the Value1 field and it's header over under the new column to the right beyond the matrix dividers. Once that's done, simply delete the ungrouped column where you just copied Value1 from and be sure to select Delete columns only checkbox.
Your finished product should look like this:
It is possible - And the above answers are partial answers leaving out one key step: Merging the cells of the child row.
First, right click on your grouped row, then select Insert Row -> Inside Group - Below and you will get two rows with the cells aligning on the columns
Second, ctrl click all the cells in your new row (ie row without the data) then right click on one of the highlighted cells, and then select Merge Cells.
Now you have the table you like. To add a value to the new row: first right click your new (multi column) cell,select Create Placeholder, and then add the dataset item you desire to the placeholder.
[Edit]
After several attempts, I'm going to say this isn't possible in SSRS. The best I could come up with is a group footer that spans columns 1,2, and 3, but not the User column.

I recently did something similar to this.
First, what tool are you using to create SSRS reports? (I used SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio)
You'll want to create a row group (grouped on Person)
Append a row to your table in "Design" view (Right click, "Insert Row --> Inside Group - Below").
Add an expression to the row that pulls the value for your "Comment" column (=Fields!Comment.Value).
Let me know if that helps...
Try adding in you column group "header" with a grouping expression of (1=1). Then a detail field will need to be defined. If you define the other group with correct data then the "header" will stretch across all details columns. You may need to merger depending on other options.
The easiest way to do this is to create a Tablix with only one column, and your row grouping.
Then, you create two rows inside this group.
In the first row inside the group, you insert a Matrix, wich you can then subgroup as you prefer.
I just had a similar problem, and this was my solution.
I banged my head against the wall for a lot of time, until i realized the solution to my problem wasn't "making a cell span multiple column groups", but "making a cell split into multiple column groups".
You can accomplish the goal by using a subreport for each person. The subreport will receive the employee id and create the hierarchy for you. Make sure your subreport column widths match the widths of the parent report.
