I have a report which has ONLY "Report header" section and NO "Detail section", NO any other sections.
It should be in that format cause I have a query which returns 1 row with many columns, like this:
val1, val2, val3, val4, val5, val6
And I want it to display in crystal report and in excel file like this:
constant Label1 val1
constant Label2 val2
constant Label3 val3
constant Label4 val4
constant Label5 val5
constant Label6 val6
It displays correctly in crystal report but when export to excel (data only), it takes all of these into 1 horizontal line with multiple columns:
constant Label 1 val1 constant Label 2 val2 constant Label 3 val3.....
How to solve this? Thanks so much!!!
The reason the export is throwing all the values onto one line in Excel is because there are no delimiters that excel can understand. Just putting them one value above the other in the same section in the report isn't enough. There are a few things you can try.
If you only have 6 rows, just break up the Report Header into 6 subsections and into each subsection put a constant-Label-value. CR will probably export these with some sort of delimiter that will carry over to Excel.
If that doesn't work, put one formula in the Report Header that builds up one long string of values that you want using tabs, newlines, whatever. For example, totext(constant) + chr(9) + label + chr(10) + totext(constant2) + ... Or however you want the data formatted. The downside to this method is that you'll lose the format for each cell (rather, all cells will be string types).

I have a crystal report, that returns data from a query like follow:
Quantity type
1 cat
2 dogs
5 birds...
I want to make a formula to show them in a single string value like:
1 cat; 2 dogs; 5 birds;
So How to write this formula
stringvar A;
A := A & totext({Quantity}, "#") & " " & {type} &";";
A
I have a table that contains a column that has data in the following format - lets call the column "title" and the table "s"
title
ab.123
ab.321
cde.456
cde.654
fghi.789
fghi.987
I am trying to get a unique list of the characters that come before the "." so that i end up with this:
ab
cde
fghi
I have tried selecting the initial column into a table then trying to do an update to create a new column that is the position of the dot using "ss".
something like this:
t: select title from s
update thedot: (title ss `.)[0] from t
i was then going to try and do a 3rd column that would be "N" number of characters from "title" where N is the value stored in "thedot" column.
All i get when i try the update is a "type" error.
Any ideas? I am very new to kdb so no doubt doing something simple in a very silly way.
the reason why you get the type error is because ss only works on string type, not symbol. Plus ss is not vector based function so you need to combine it with each '.
q)update thedot:string[title] ss' "." from t
title thedot
---------------
ab.123 2
ab.321 2
cde.456 3
cde.654 3
fghi.789 4
There are a few ways to solve your problem:
q)select distinct(`$"." vs' string title)[;0] from t
x
----
ab
cde
fghi
q)select distinct(` vs' title)[;0] from t
x
----
ab
cde
fghi

An alternative is to make use of the 0: operator, to parse around the "." delimiter. This operator is especially useful if you have a fixed number of 'columns' like in a csv file. In this case where there is a fixed number of columns and we only want the first, a list of distinct characters before the "." can be returned with:
exec distinct raze("S ";".")0:string title from t
`ab`cde`fghi
OR:
distinct raze("S ";".")0:string t`title
`ab`cde`fghi
Where "S " defines the types of each column and "." is the record delimiter. For records with differing number of columns it would be better to use the vs operator.
A variation of WooiKent's answer using each-right (/:) :
q)exec distinct (` vs/:x)[;0] from t
`ab`cde`fghi
I'vre created a cross tab report with 2 calculated Member to be able to have the difference between 2 column and the percentage of this difference in CR 2011. What I want to achieve is to create a new column that will display a test depending on the difference value.
Here is a example:
Col1 Col2 Difference Percentage Action
200 0 -200 100 DROPPED
100 100 0 0
0 300 300 100 ADDED
How can create this action column. Calculated member only want some amount value so I cannot output a text in the formula.
Thanks in advance for your help
I finally found the solution.
I can use the Display string formula in the Format Field properties (Common Tab). Here I just check the column and return the string I want otherwise I just format the number.
IF GetColumnGroupIndexOf(CurrentColumnIndex) = 1
AND CurrentColumnIndex =4 THEN
IF GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex,CurrentSummaryIndex) =2 THEN "DROPPED"
ELSE "ADDED"
ELSE
ToText( GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex,CurrentSummaryIndex),2,",")
Is there a automation tool which can automate the software build on Team Developer (v6.0).
I have tried with multiple automation tools to spy the table object in the application, it identifies it as Gupta ChildTable. But I am not able to retrieve the values from the row.
For example:
1. I have 10 rows in the table(grid) with 12 columns. I need to find the value "AAAAA" contained in first column and select that particular row via Automation.
2. I have 10 rows in the table(grid) with 12 columns. I need to find the value "AAAAA" contained in first column and click on particular cell in that row to input the data via Automation.
Thanks in advance.
Use VisTblFindString . This function ( and many others ) are included into your TD code if include 'VT.apl' in your include libraries .
VisTblFindString will return the Row - so then you simply set context to that row using SalTblSetContext( hWndForm, nRow ) , and then you can refer to the contents of each cell by name to return the value.
Syntax
nRow = VisTblFindString(hWndTable, nStartRow, hWndColumn, sString)
Handle: hWndTable
Number: nStartRow
Number: hWndColumn
String: sString
Description
Locates a string value within a column.
The string must match exactly, but case is ignored. Searching ends when the last row in the table is checked. A SAM_FetchRow message is sent for all rows that have not yet been fetched into the cache.
You can use the pattern matching characters understood by the function SalStrScan. The percent character (%) matches any set of characters. The underscore character ( _ ) matches any single character.
Parameters
hWndTable Table window handle.
nStartRow Row number at which to start the search.
hWndColumn Handle of column to search. Use hWndNULL to search all string columns.
sString String for which to search.
Return Value
Number: The row number if sString is found, or -1 if not found.
Example:
Set nRow = VisTblFindString (twOrders, 0, colDesc, 'AAAAAA')
Call SalTblSetContext( twOrders , nRow )
( Now you can get the value of any cell in nRow by referring to the Column Name )
e.g. Set sCellValue = twOrders.colDesc or Set sCellValue = twOrders.colId etc.
Rows ( or anything what-so-ever in a TableWindow - even the cell borders , backgrounds , lines, row headers etc ) can be treat as an 'Item' or 'Object' by TeamDeveloper . Recommend you use MTbl - it is an invaluable set of add-on functions that make dealing with Tables a breeze. I know of no sites using TableWindows that don't use MTbl. In terms of rows , you can define any row as an Item or Object and manipulate it accordingly. See M!Tbl ( a TableWindows extention ) and specifically fcMTblItem.DefineAsRow( hWndTbl, nRow ).
BTW , you can also use MTbl to completely change the look and feel of your TableWindows , to give them a real modern look.
Very rough napkin code, don't have TD on this computer. Not that you can copy&paste this easily anyway due to the code structure, only line by line.
tbl1 is the name of the table, col1 is the name of the column, substitute to fit your program.
Set nRow = TBL_MinRow
While SalTblFindNextRow( tbl1, nRow, 0, 0 )
Call SalTblSetContext( tbl1, nRow )
If tbl1.col1 = "AAAAA"
Call SalTblSetFocusCell( tbl1, nRow, tbl1.col1, 0, -1 )
Break
This should run through each row, check whether col1 has the chosen value, and then activates edit mode for that cell - provided the column is editable.
Formula scenario: Retrieved data has a status column which its values is (-1, 0, 1, 2, 3),
I'd like to use formula to display string based on these values. I use Display String, but it doesn't work.
How could I write a formula to work for each cell in crosstab?
Any suggestions?
Formulas are pretty easy to write. Just create a simple if/if else/else than statement:
if {TABLE.COLUMN} = 1 then 'One' else 'Unknown'
And use that within the cross tab.
use GridRowColumnValue("column name") to get the corresponding row or column value to want to evaluate for the cell in question
This is old, but I hope this help someone else.
Select CurrentFieldValue
Case 1:
"A"
Case 2:
"B"
etc.
