I'm trying to write a backlog report in Crystal Reports XI attached to Fluke Met/Track database (Sybase back-end)
I have it running between a start & end date, then grouped by Month and then Day.
I need it to show all of the units that were in the lab on the days between the start & end dates
October Units
2
22525
22526
3
22525
22526
22527
4
22526
22527
22530
The order of the units doesn't matter, just that the units are showing up.
Maybe I'm just having a rough day, but I'm not seeing how this can be accomplished.
You can accomplish this by adding a group for your date, opening up the Group Expert, click your Group click Options, then you should see something along the lines of "The section will be printed:" and you can select: for each day.. This should allow grouping for each day.

I need help with creating a trial balance report for a specific tenure, from beginning of fiscal year to a selected period. I need this in Crystal Reports.
I am unable to formulate how can I get debit and credit amounts totalling from beginning of the fiscal year till the end of selected period (not YTD).
For example, I want to get a trial balance report till period 6 (June), I am able to get the balance at the end of period 6, but unable to formulate total credits and total debits for selected number of periods/months. Instead, it is either debit/credit amounts for June or it's for total debit/credits till date.
Can anyone help me please?
Create a formula that returns, for each record, it's dollar amount if it's within the target date range, otherwise, zero.
Sum that formula to get the total for that time period.
I'm a user of the DelmiaWorks/IQMS ERP solution as well. IQMS uses a stored procedure to populate a database table named "C_TRIAL_BALANCE_AS_OF". When you publish a report into IQMS, there is a field named "Execute Before Print" on the Edit Report Definition window that opens when edit a report. To run this stored procedure in conjunction with another report, you will want to choose "POP_C_TRIAL_BALANCE_AS_OF" in the drop-down box control for this field. This will ensure the procedure is run prior to the report so you have the account balances you need as of a specified date. When the report is executed, IQMS will present the user with a Date Picker for the As Of Date. Almost all of the data you need to do a Trial Balance report can be found on this calculated table. The only joins needed should be "V_GLYEAR_PERIODS", "V_GLACCT", and "EPLANT".
There is a built-in report that may do what you want already though. If you begin the Trial Balance module and then click "Reports" > "Print" to bring up the list of all reports, then look for one named "Trial Balance As Of". Even if this report is lacking some information you need, it will likely be much easier to edit this existing report than it would be to create one from scratch.
If you don't have this built-in report, you may be able to get a copy of the RPT file from their support department. As long as you have the Trial Balance module, you should have this report. Its a standard report that is included in every version of IQMS I've worked with. However, my experience is limited to the 15.3 and 2020 versions.
I'd like to create a query which shows the bugs created during the last 12 weeks grouped by each month, but I can't manage.
I have created a query that shows the number of bugs created each day (by date) but can't find a way aggregate them for each month.
Also tried doing it by the chart (Dashboard) but didn't manage as well.
The goal is to show whether the number of bugs gets lower or higher across the last 12 weeks.
Thanks
There’s no built-in feature that an help group by month in query.
In Dashboard, you could choose to use Burndown/Burnup chart in Dashboard that may meet your requirment. In the configuration, you can add field criteria to limit the work items that appear in the chart. You can set Plot interval to Months. If you select Months, then burndown/burnup is calculated based on the last day of each month.
You could refer to the official page: Configure a Burndown or Burnup widget for more details.
I have created a Crystal Report for some of my users with a date range parameter set. The volume of information that the SQL command returns means that anything over a 7 day period in the date parameter slows the report to unusable speeds and subsequently locks the DB for all other users.
Does anyone know of a way to create a prompt in Crystal Reports that will appear before the parameter set? I.e. As soon as they select the report and click "Open", the first thing they see is a box saying "Please ensure a maximum 7 day date period". Then upon clicking "OK" or something of my choosing, they are presented with the parameter fields and can continue with the report.
If this cannot be done, is there a way to restrict the parameters so that when the users select the start date, they can only select a maximum of 7 days after.
The other option, if it is doable, is to have them select the start date and then it auto complete the end date with a date 7 days after the start date.
At the moment i have just added (Must be a 7 day period) to the parameter title but i dont feel this does a good enough job at advertising it and as soon as i publish it i know someone will want to get 4/5 years worth of data...our clinicians will be most unimpressed if they PAS system locks up during a busy clinic.
I have attached a screenshot of the kind of thing i am after. It is a little crude as it was done in paint but it gets the point across.
I have searched high and low for this solution so i am not sure it even exists, but am asking out of sheer desperation.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
If you use Crystal Report solely (not within a program like .Net app) you can select your latest proposition. Get start date and in your SQL command (View, Stored Procedure, ...) select items from startDate to startDate + 7 days.
Depending on your DBMS there are ways to add some value to date (like dateadd function in MSSQL).
So its done.
I'm a beginner with Crystal Reports. I'm using Crystal Reports 2013, and I've made a report with a structure like:
<Person>
<date>
<sale amount>
<sale amount>
<sale amount>
So I'm grouping by Person, and then by date. (And sorting by time). Now, Crystal Reports decided to also group my data by the week. That's perfectly okay by me. But how do I calculate the weekly total sales?
More specifically, I don't know "why/how" the report is automatically grouping by week.
So here's what I've tried: I created a running total field for the sale field. But:
If I set it to group on the date field, it groups daily. (Fair enough, except it's inconvenient)
If I set it to group on the person field, it keeps a running total of all sales through that week.
Here's the thing though: I'd like the report to group the data into weeks by default, and keep a weekly total. But I'd also like to include the option to group the data into months, and have the running total know that it should be a monthly running total. So far, I've only seen a way to keep a daily running total.
So, I guess specific my question is what group is Crystal Reports grouping by when it automatically groups by week? If this is the wrong question, any other advice to achieving my goal would be helpful, though.
Thanks!
Its your running total that's probably doing it.
Have you tried using the sales amount field straight away and then insert Summation of the field on the group footers? YOu may not need to use running totals.
I'm trying to build a cross tab report in Crystal XI that has dates, grouped by the month as column heading, and have 2 questions I'm trying to find answers to.
1: Is there any way to display a month even if there are no records to be summarized in that month? i.e. no orders for March, but want to display Jan, Feb, Mar.? I'm pretty sure I can create a dates table and use that spoof it, but don't want to go that route as the database is part of a Vendor's package and I don't want to get to crazy in there.
2: Is there a way of specifying or limiting how many columns go across? For example in a forecast cross tab I only owant current month and the next six months to show up. I suppose I can do a date range on the selection criteria, but that seems a bit kludgy to me.
Thanks for any answers
Short answer: No.
I've seen discussions about workarounds involving creation of temporary tables, but I've never tried any such solutions myself.
I would go with the date range on the selection criteria. You could make those dates parameters for more convenient useage. If you have sevral cross-tabs that should have different date ranges you could put the crosstabs in sub-reports.
