This question about crystal report.
I have crystal report, which has a formula in Group Section. I want to show all the generated group names in bottom of the crystal report.
So I have insert subreport to Main report footer. Then created a formula and link it to main report
formula.
But When running, in sub report, only show last generated group name only.
How to print all the generated group names in bottom of the report.
Thank you.
If I understand what you intend to do, you have a few options:
add a Cross-tab to the Report-Footer section - this will summarized the report's data without a second trip to the database
add a sub-report to the Report-Footer section - you will have more control of the formatting, but it will require a second trip to the database
create a formula that executes at print time (WhileReadingRecords) to store the group names in an array (note: arrays hold a maximum of 1000 entries), then create a second formula (also print time), that joins the array, adding it to the Report-Footer section.

Normally if we have report without any sub report in it, it is easy to print twice the report by adding same report in page footer as sub report . But if report contains already subreport than it is not possible to again add subreport in it. So how can we Print such report twice in crystal report.
It must exist a better solution, but here it goes two workarounds:
Alternative 1:
Turn your main report into a subreport (with its child subreport) and duplicate it in a brand new main report.
Advice: subreports use to perform poorly, but if your data is not large, it is ok.
Alternative 2:
If you can easily manipulate the data source (for example, if your generating a dataset through code), use the details section for your report, insert an extra table in your data source where the number of lines is the number of "copies" that you want to print. Let your main table join with this "fake" table without links. The result will be a cartesian product, so you will get the number of copies you want.
Extra note: Crystal let you use another rpt file as a subreport. Maybe you can use this feature to solve your problem. Personally, I don't like this feature, because it does not behave like I would expect by intuition.
how to calculate {SUM} of multiple columns into a one column in In my Crystal reports.
Total=(VAT+TAX)
ok this how in general it works:
Place your data in detail section and take simmary in report footer, You can take that by right click ojn field and use insert summary option.
Now create a formula #Total
sum(Vat)+sum(tax)+sum(duty) //you can select the summary fields from report fields
Place the formula in report footer
I have a crystal report that takes only about 1/3rd of the report space.
I have field read from the database which is an integer value.
I wish to print this report number of times as read from the database on the same page.
Any idea on how this can be achieved?
I can only use crystal report for achieving this.
Thanks in advance.
You can create another report and add your current report as a subreport multiple times
Lan is correct, build another report and add your current report as a subreport.
Here's the trick:
On your main report, have it make a list of all of the items that
you'd like to run the sub-report on.
On your sub-report, add a parameter called "itemNumber" or something like that. Then change your Subreport Links so the new "itemNumber" parameter is linked to the item on your top level report.
Now hide the field on the main report but leave the
subreport visible.!
This should make your report run for all items at one time.
In this case you can create a table with the maximum number of prints you will ever use. For example if you think you might need to print the report 100 times your table should contain records from 1 to 100. So lets assume this is the case- create a table , name it Copies and add a field CopyNo. Create a 100 records and set CopyNo from 1 to 100. Create the a main report based on Copies table - the record selection formula will be something like :
Copies.CopyNo<=#NumberOfCopies
#NumberOfCopies is a parameter , which you can set in order to control the printed copies. Create your actual report as a subreport and place it in the details section of the main report. When you run the report it will ask you for the number of copies and when you insert it, will print the same subreport as many times as the number you provide.
It should be very simple and should employ multi-value parameters , but not able to figure out how ? This report takes parameters from the GridView I have a gridview in an asp.net web page which has print button for every row to print this report for that row.
Now, there are as many reports as there are rows in the grid.---[This part is done]
So,how about combining all these reports into one single report
You can add a subreport for each one of you reports.
You just create a new report and start inserting subreports in each row.
Check this documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220581.aspx
Here's an example for you:
1 - Create a new report. You can then add a tablix to it, in case you have more info, which is the case in my example. Just don't forget to add a dataset to that tablix if that's your case.
This is how it would look
Each gray line is a subreport.
2 - To insert a subreport just right-click a cell and go to Insert > Subreport
3 - Right-click your subreport, select Subreport Properties and choose your report from the drop-down menu:
4 - You can then set the parameters your subreport will receive:
Case 2: if you don't need a tablix for aditional info, just repeat the same process in a Rectangle.
UPDATE
As I said in my comment, here's one report in which I do exactly what you want:
As you can see the subreports are part of the main report's body that has other data.
I need to repeat these subreports for each record and that's how it is done.
Here you can see the Id being passed as parameter to my subreport:
From what I understood, that's what you want. That way for each record its current Id would be passed to the report. Generating a report with that "dynamic" parameter you mentioned.
I put a subreport in the footer of my main report and I set its details section to display five records per page (through the paging tab).
I am sure my query returns nine records.
Upon previewing the report, on the first page, it displays the first five records.
However, on the second page, it also displays the first five records not the remaining four records.
I am not sure where is the problem since I just started using crystal reports. Hope you can help me. Thanks.
You need to set your sub report links.
This will link the data from your main report to your sub report. In Crystal 2008 you right click on the sub report and choose 'Change Sub report links...' option. Then you can select the data to flow from the main report to your sub report. Otherwise your sub report is being viewed as a completely separate report that you are just inserting on top of your main report and it will be the same at every instance.
Also, it might be a good idea to use groups instead of the details section when inserting sub reports.
