Crystal Reports: Is it possible to sum for more than one column? - crystal-reports

I work on an accounting project in .NET.
I want to sum all transaction and its opening balances.
I use summary but it Allows only one column..

You can summarize within formulas, so long as the formula field is present in the report footer. When using Sum() CR knows to evaluate the expression for all records returned.
So you would create a formula for the report footer, and the formula code would be something like:
Sum({#TransactionAmt1}) + Sum({Transactions.Amount}) + Sum({#AnotherFormula});

Getting sum of multiple fields in crystal reports

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

calculation between two formula field in crystal report

I have two formula field "#Total" and "#SalesTaxVlaue",
I have create one more formula field called "#NetAmount"
I want to insert sum of both "#Total" and "#SalesTaxVlaue" in "#NetAmount"
Please Help me..
Doesn't sum({#Total}) + sum({#SalesTaxVlaue}) as content of #NetAmount formula work? If you want to show it on some group footer, then you have to include group name into sum(field, group) expression too.
Or, if I have misread your question and you don't need sum over many rows, then simply {#Total} + {#SalesTaxVlaue} should be good enough :)

Using LIKE in Multi-Value Parameter in Crystal Reports 2011

I am developing a report in Crystal Reports 2011 that has 3 sub-reports pulling data from 3 different databases. I have a Multi-Value Parameter (String) in the main report that passes the input values to the 3 sub-reports which have the same Multi-Value String Parameter.
Sample Input Values are:
P000000030,
P000000930,
P000001730
The user does not want to input the leading alpha character and preceeding zeroes. They want to input the following:
30,
930,
1730
The sub-report pulls all of the records successfully if the user puts the entire string value in with the following Record Selection Criteria, but it does not work with the partial strings input:
{Command.Puchase Order} in {?Pm-?Reference}
Can anyone advise the syntax needed to pull the data in the subreport with the substrings as inputs?
Thanks in advance!
Thank you for your input guys!! I took a bit from everyone and came up with the following solution:
Create a column in the datasource that trimmed out the desired value --> ltrim(regexp_replace(a."po_num",'P',''),'0') as "Puchase Order2"
Modified my Record Selection Criteria to select for either column --> {Command.Puchase Order} in {?Pm-?Reference} or {Command.Puchase Order2} in {?Pm-?Reference}
I really appreciate your input! I am able to deliver the desired solution with your aid.
go ahead and create a formula that calculate the length of your parameter(len({?Pm-?Reference})) and place it suppressed on your report header. Then put below in your record selection formula
right({Command.Puchase Order},{your length formula}) in [{?Pm-?Reference}]
You could add the "number only" version of [Puchase Order] to your datasource...
cast(cast(right([Puchase Order], len([Puchase Order]) - 1) as int) as varchar(9))
as [Puchase Order Number]
...then use that in the select expert. I'm getting the number without the leading P, casting to int to remove the leading zeros, and then back to a varchar for the string comparison in Crystal.
You could do the same with a formula in Crystal reports. Then reference that formula in the select expert. Downside is having to repeat that in all 3 sub reports.

How do I do a CR-type formula in SQL Server Reporting services?

In Crystal Reports, I could define a formula that would evaluate for each detail line. For example, if I had a query that would return a PatientId, an ObsTerm name, and an ObsTerm value, I could define a formula called {#Hispanic} that had the value:
If {Command.OBSNAME} = "HISPANIC" Then
{Command.OBSVALUE}
Else
" "
Then, in the group footer, I could take Maximum({#Hispanic}, {Command.PATIENTID}) to see if I had gotten a value returned for the patient's ethnicity - either I'd get the value (assume only one, since that's how I built the query) or a blank.
I'm trying to convert a CR report over to SSRS 2008R2: how would I do the above? Thanks.
Add a calculated field to your data source (called 'Hispanic' or whatever) with a formula of:
=IIF(Fields!OBSNAME.Value="Hispanic",Fields!OBSVALUE.Value,"")
In your report, add a parent group to your detail row and type [Max(Hispanic)] into a field in the group row. You may then want to hide the detail row and show only the aggregate data. I think there's probably a much easier way to do what you want but it's not clear from your question.
I made the transition from Crystal to SSRS and it is a hard road. You need to unlearn all your Crystal (especially formatting).

Crystal Report-Running Total

I have a problem with running Total in Crsystal report9
if their is no values available for a Paticular field how can we return the running total as '0'
Instead of display the Running Total directly in your report create a Formula Field based on the Running Total and drag it into the report.
Your formula should look like this (Crystal Syntax)...
if ISNULL({#RunningTotalField}) then
"0.00"
else
ToText(RunningTotalField, 2)
If there is no data for that particular group, then Crystal won't show it easily. Your options are :
1) Use subreports to display the values for a particular group, and keep the main report just looking at the table(s) containing the group headers.
2) Use a stored procedure as the source so you have full control over the SQL that is run.
The problem is that as soon as you use a field to group, Crystal will only return records where that field has been used. If it was simply in the Details section you could modify the link to a LEFT JOIN and it wouldn't matter, but the group forces the INNER JOIN which means the groups without data are not returned.
Unfortunately Running Totals don't show up if there are no records that match your criteria. An alternative is to use a set of formulas calculated in various sections of the report. The technique is widely described in the Crystal literature. For example, this TekTips gives a very succinct overview of your options.
You set up an initialising formula in each header, with the evaluation time directive "WhilePrintingRecords". This approach was the only one available for doing running totals in the "good ol' days" before RunningTotal objects were available.
