I would like to achieve the following,
I need to generate report for multiple companies in a common format. I need to do it in a single report. The only issue exist with report header images. In the header of the report, I need to display the company header. So for Company1, I will dispaly Image1. For Company2, I will display Image2 etc. What is the best methode to achieve this. Putting N number of image control and set visibility is a right choice ?
You can dynamically insert an image by its file path like this:
how to insert dynamic images in crystal reports.
Alternatively, you could do it the way you suggest by adding n different images and dynamically suppress them based on values in the report. Doing it this way will require you stack the images, each with its own suppression formula which isn't as clean of a solution in my opinion. It'll also cause the report file size to be larger if that matters to you at all.

I need to display data in a basic grid, with borders, column headers, etc. How can this be done in a Crystal Report without having to draw every single line and position/size every field?
I've tried a lot of different things, but it is all so sloppy and time consuming. Isn't there an easy way to just display a table in a grid?
the solution here turned out to not use Crystal Reports. To use alerts in SAP BizOne. It works great for a quick well formatted data subscription case
A Crosstab can display results in a footer after the main report has been run. This is the least "time consuming" option, as you put it.
Otherwise the quickest way to turn an existing report into a "table" is to simply add line elements that span from the header to the footer, dividing your fields into columns. The line elements will resize such that they cover all sections:
I have existing report w/ "groups" for Total/Directs/Warehouse/Credits that span horizontally. I need to now stack these groupings vertically. What is the best way to do this in CR? I am used to SSRS, Excel, PowerBI, etc. Crystal Reports is much less intuitive than those tools.
Do I need some kind of funky nested groups? Sub reports? How should we approach this? We assumed it would be a pretty simple formatting/layout change. But it looks like it's actually quite complex to do this.
Original:
How it needs to be re-worked:
If the entire table you're showing is in a Footer, you can just add 3 new footer sections and duplicate the table in each (removing any columns you don't need.) Just right click the relevant section and Insert Section Below.
Otherwise you'll need to use subreports. But since you have the columns already configured, all you really have to do is:
Save 4 subreports, Total, Directs, Warehouse, and Credits. (Just save a copy of your existing report, and delete everything that doesn't need to show up in Total. Rinse and repeat.)
Import each and add the parameters as subreport links
Give them each their own section
i am using Crystal 2008 and Would like to add data table just underneath attached to a Chart. This can be done very easily in Excel. Don't know how to do it in Crystal
please advise....much appreciated
The way your question is worded I'm not clear if you mean under as in "behind" or "below". It would help if you include a mockup drawing of what you're trying to accomplish.
If you mean "behind", the feature you're looking for is Section Underlay. This video gives a small demo of the feature to put a watermark image behind the report, but you can do the same thing with a chart, crosstab, or other object. The "World Sales Report" sample report has another example of this feature to put a table beside the chart.
If you mean "below", you can either just add sections and put your data fields there, or if that's not the type of table you're looking for, you may want to use a Crosstab object.
Requirement:
I have one new requirement in Crystal Reports.
I need to show 100 columns in the report. I have tried using Landscape option but maximum I am able to accommodate are 20 columns.
Can someone have any idea on how can I accommodate 100 columns. Thanks in advance.
Practically it is not suggested to take 100 columns..as this can create an issue while monitoring the data in crystal reports
But if you still need to accompdate the 100 columns then follow below process.
go to File --> Page Setup --> there go to Unit --> for selected option give maximun size for Horizontal Component
This will increase the size of the report and now can insert required number of columns
Since this report is not for print and will be exported into an Excel format, just make your page as big as you need it. This can be done by going to "File" → "Page Setup" and adjusting the following things:
Check "Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size"
Might as well flip the page to "Landscape"
Enter a large number in "Horizontal"
You should also note that because you're exporting this data (especially as "Excel - Data Only"), you don't need to make the columns wide enough to display; as long as the field is on the canvas they should show up as a column.
The size of the columns doesn't matter if you are going to export to Excel data only. So you can make the columns as small as you want, even if the report is not readable it will be exported OK.
If you want just to export some data and your report does not include subreports you can go without Crystal reports. Will be much simpler to set the SQL and preview data in a grid (which is scrollable) and then export it to Excel. It will look better too.
There are some tools that can do this and I guess you can easily find something on Google. I am using R-Tag (www.r-tag.com), which is free. You can see it in action here: http://www.r-tag.com/Pages/Preview_Demo.aspx
I have a problem with JasperReports' report. I want to create a report that produces for each Database entry, on sheet. When I create it, it shows me only a few rows. Maybe there is a parameter to set in the iReport designer.
A number of things to check:
Change the height of your report. Do you get more rows to appear? What about the height of your band? Does it change the results?
Check which band you have your content in. Some bands behave differently than others. Header/Footer/etc bands do not expand.
Check your input (the data from your query / xml datasource / whatever). Make sure that what you think is the input to your report really is.
Otherwise, likely we'll need more information. If you could upload an example jrxml that would help.
