I am using JasperReports with iReport to generate reports from a MySQL data source. The reports I am attempting to generate use Report Groups to organize the information. Also, I have a chart that appears at the footer of each page displaying info for the current grouping. The chart's reset type is Group, and it is placed in the column footer to achieve this. Also, a new page is forced when the report group changes.
The problem that I am having is that when the Report Group changes, (at the last page of each grouping) I am left with an empty chart on that page. On the proceeding pages, the chart resumes with valid data.
Does anyone have any tips as to how I can fix this?
A good solution would have the chart displaying the data for the group.
An okay solution would have the chart hidden at the time of a report grouping change
In iReport Designer
Right Click On the Chart
Select Chart Data
Under Dataset tab, select 'Group' for 'Reset type'
Select the group for which you want to reset the chart for 'Reset group'

This is the output from my SQL query
I am trying to create a report in Jasper Studio which will create a separate table for each city.
Right now, what I have created is something that looks like below. It shows all the data with the City listed as St. Louis. What features in Jasper will allow me to do as above?
Finally figured this out.
Create a group band for your report in Jasper. (Right click report Outline-> Create Group)
Next you have two options - create group from a report object or create group from expression. I used the first option and selected City from the list of group objects displayed. Click Next.
Selected the checkbox Add the group header and click finish.
The other change I did was - Previously my headers were under column header, I moved them under the new band group header. Now it works exactly like how I wanted.
Trying to create a vertical line chart from data in 4 separate fields per Detail record.
I know how to do it using Excel (see image), trying to figure out how to do it using Crystal Charts. Also, data is per detail record and I found that I can only insert a chart on a header or footer section.
I'm also not sure I'm using the correct verbiage as I can't seem to find an answer using google searches.
Thanks!
You can insert chart into crystalreport from insert --> chart and choose type of chart and data will show in chart, chart insert in header and footer report but will contain all data you choose, also you can insert chart into hadear and footer group if you use group.

You can insert a group to provide header/footer for each detail section.
Or, one of the Crystal Reports User Function Libraries listed here allows you to add special charts anywhere you wish within your report, feeding the data into the chart using formula logic.
I inherited a report where when you run it, the data will be divided into two columns and four rows on one page. I am wanting to change the format so it displays like a basic report where it's just rows listed straight down on the page. The report is below. I am using Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.3.

Right click in the gutter of the Details section and choose Section Expert...
Clear the Format with Multiple Columns checkbox
I'm trying to figure out how to change or edit Group Header titles in Crystal Reports. Group Header title is pulled from sql and I only have two Group Headers and it's the second one I need to edit. It reads SEP which is pulled from data table, but for reporting purpose I'd like it to read Separate Accounts. Group Headers are not text objects, so I don't know how to edit. Thanks.
click on the group Tab then Properties
so you can change the name
What version of Crystal Reports are you using? Exactly how do you want to edit the titles?
In the grey area of the designer, right click on the group you want to edit, select change group and look for 'Customize Group Field Name'. Depending on what version (I am looking at Crystal 2011 right now), you can choose another field or Use a Formula as a Group Name. I think that the latter should suit your needs. Create a formula (you will have to know how to use Crystal formula logic) to modify/append your groupname tiles.
Alternatively, you could make title changes in the SQL itself using SQL functions, CASE statement, etc.
I hope this helps
We are using Crystal Report 12 in one of our projects. Currently I need to create report template which should show different icons based on the some field value.
That field contains a number, storing some kind of status and I have several icons corresponding some statuses.
At the moment I can't figure out how to implement such a thing in Crystal Reports designer.
Could someone please help me?
Showing and hiding graphical objects in CR based on a formula is almost exactly like showing and hiding text labels based on certain criteria.
First, you need to add each icon to your report detail section by choosing the Insert menu, and then select Picture...
Once all your icons are inserted, you will need to edit the suppression formula by right-clicking on each icon and choosing Format Graphic. On the first tab of the Format Editor, you have a Suppress option just like you do for other report objects. Click on the formula button next to Suppress to add a suppression formula to the icon describing when it should be shown or hidden.
I was also searching for the similar solution and this helped me. These steps works.
To display a particular picture, based on a column value, right click on picture> Format Graphic> Suppress (do not check)
And write formula, for example
ColorCode= '110'
(Based on column name ColorCode if column value is '110' I am displaying the picture)
