I'm pulling my hair out now... What am I doing wrong
OK..
Header1 | Header
--+--
cell1 | cell
Very basic table layout..
If Cell1 is just a field value I can do cell2 = reportitems!cell1 an
it works find. However, if Cell1 is a calculation that's slightl
complex and do cell2 = reportitems:cell1 I get
> p:\formulacard\formulacard1\Formula Card SG.rdl The value expressio
for the textbox ?QtyReqdCell? refers to the report item ?kl?. Repor
item expressions can only refer to other report items within the sam
grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
Now this annoys the hell out of me because the cell1 on it's ow
renders fine and returns a values. What am I doing wrongRob,
Is this actually a table or a matrix?
What is the expression in cell 1, both when it succeeds and when it
fails.
The ReportItems option can only deal with items within the same scope,
i.e. on the same level. One of its uses was for exporting to Excel as
formulas instead of values, but there were some bugs with it so
Microsoft curtailed it's functionality a bit. I now avoid using
ReportItems if I can. I tend to make sure the query provides all the
data I need to populate cells, including calculations.

Cell Spanning Multiple Rows
I have a report where the first column needs to be spanned over multiple rows. The first column is part of a group, just the group name is shown on the detail row with the details. The data looked like this:
Group1 Detail 1
Group1 Detail 2
Group1 Detail 3
Group2 Detail 1
Group2 Detail 2
But I dont want the first column to repeat so it looks like this:
Group1 Detail 1
Detail 2
Detail 3
Group2 Detail 1
Detail 2
I tried to use the "Hide Duplicates" option on the group column textbox, but the borders for the textbox still show up. I could not find a simple way to get the first column to span all the rows in the group, so what I did was take the detail columns and put them in their own table and nest it in the group header row. That worked great but here is the problem:
The first column's data pushes the textbox to display 5 lines of text, but the detail may only have 1 line of data. It worked fine in the designer, but when rendered to HTML the lone detail line was aligned to the bottom of the group row. Even though the nested table's vertical alignment property is set to top, it was ignored.
I have service pack 1 installed, so I'm on the latest version. Any Ideas guys?Tables support cells that span multiple cells. When you select an entire row
an Merge Cells icon becomes active on in the Toolbar area Report Designer.
See the Merge Cells section at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/RSCREATE/htm/rcr_creating_structure_objects_v1_2esl.asp
for more information.

</Report>|||You have a couple of options for row spanning:
Hide the cell that contains the group field using Previous():
<Hidden>=iif(Fields!Country.Value = Previous(Fields!Country.Value),
true, false)</Hidden>
Use a matrix that does not contain row groups or detail cells.
A sample report that demonstrates both approaches is at the end of this
posting.

Group1 Detail 1
Group1 Detail 2
Group1 Detail 3
Group2 Detail 1
Group2 Detail 2
But I dont want the first column to repeat so it looks like this:
Group1 Detail 1
Detail 2
Detail 3
Group2 Detail 1
Detail 2
I tried to use the "Hide Duplicates" option on the group column textbox, but the borders for the textbox still show up. I could not find a simple way to get the first column to span all the rows in the group, so what I did was take the detail columns and put them in their own table and nest it in the group header row. That worked great but here is the problem:
The first column's data pushes the textbox to display 5 lines of text, but the detail may only have 1 line of data. It worked fine in the designer, but when rendered to HTML the lone detail line was aligned to the bottom of the group row. Even though the nested table's vertical alignment property is set to top, it was ignored.
I have service pack 1 installed, so I'm on the latest version. Any Ideas guys?Tables support cells that span multiple cells. When you select an entire row
an Merge Cells icon becomes active on in the Toolbar area Report Designer.
See the Merge Cells section at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/RSCREATE/htm/rcr_creating_structure_objects_v1_2esl.asp
for more information.

</Report>|||You have a couple of options for row spanning:
Hide the cell that contains the group field using Previous():
<Hidden>=iif(Fields!Country.Value = Previous(Fields!Country.Value),
true, false)</Hidden>
Use a matrix that does not contain row groups or detail cells.
A sample report that demonstrates both approaches is at the end of this
posting.

Cell Security : Help
SECURITY USING CELL-SECURITY:
From what i've read cell security s enforced on the client. If someone is able to gain access to a machine running the client (for example an application server or a web server) he is able to get cell values independently of the fact that those values will be defined as #N/A in the secured cell value property. The real value is travelling between theAnalysis Server and the application server. Is this true ? How can we effectively garantee true security ?Did you look in BOL?
Cell Security
In a cube role, you can implement cell security to limit the cube cells that end users in the role can view as they browse cubes. You can also grant read/write access to a write-enabled cube and limit the cells that end users in the role can update. You do this by selecting a policy and by selecting a rule or defining a custom rule for each permission.
Cell security is optional. If you do not specify cell security, end users see all cell values in cubes they are authorized to access. (However, if dimension security is specified, cells for some members might not be viewable.) If a cube is write-enabled, end users cannot update cell values. If one or more of a virtual cube's component cubes are write-enabled, end users cannot update the cell values of virtual cubes.
If a policy or rule permits updates to a cell, it can be updated if it is an atomic cell. If the cell is not atomic, it can be updated only if the client application provides a way of dispersing the update over the subordinate atomic cells. For example, in a client application a write-enabled cube is displayed with the lowest level of every dimension except Time. On the axis for the Time dimension, the nonatomic cells for months are displayed, but the subordinate atomic cells for days are not. (Days is the lowest level in the Time dimension.) A cell for June can be updated by adding $90 if the client application provides a way of dividing the +$90 update into thirty +$3 updates, one to each of the cells for the 30 days in June. Dispersion methods other than simple division can also be used. The UPDATE CUBE statement provides several methods. For more information, see UPDATE CUBE Statement.

Cell reference in SQL Report
Hi,
Is it possible to use Cell reference in the calculations, in SQL reports.
Like Excel allows "=A1 * B1", where A1 and B1 are two cells with some numeric value. Is it possible to use Cell reference in SQL reports? Like "textbox1 * textbox 2"... or something like that, with textbox1 and textbox2 containing some numeric values.
Thanks
Perm
Yes. You can name a text box and then reference it using ReportItems!. If you have 2 text boxes named txtA and txtB and you want to add the two and put in a third box you can put ReportItems!txtA.value+ReportItems!txtB.value in the third textbox to get the total of the two cells.|||Hi Kim,
Thank you very much for the quick reply!! It works.
Now, the next item I'm stuck on, is the running total of this calculated field. Here is the detail of my RDL:
In a table, I have "textbox34" with the formula =count(Fields!ADF_NO.Value) in it and "textbox30" with the formula =first(Fields!TOTSTKS2.Value, "ProdServSales") - reportitems!TOTSTKS.value in it. I have divided "textbox 34" with "textbox30", and placed the results in "textbox36". Now, I want to do a cummulative total (Running total) of "textbox36", using the formula =runningvalue(reportitems!textbox36.Value, sum, nothing) in "textbox14". Its giving me an error saying:
"[rsAggregateReportItemInBody] The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox14' uses an aggregate function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers."
Any suggestions? I appreciate you help on this.
Thanks

Cell Orientation
How do i format the Header cells to be oriented by 90 degrees like in Excel. I tried the WRITING MODE under INTERNATIONAL in properties, and choose "tb-rl". But it gives top to bottom. Is there any way to get it bottom to top?
Is there any example to write Expression in Writing Mode property to display in 30 degrees?
Thanks.
Girija, did you ever find a solution to this? I need to do the same thing, rotate headers by 90 degrees.
Thanks.

after i export the crystal report to excel, but i found that it ca not fit within one cell, so i can not sorting the data during the excel... can anyone elp me...
thank you..what version of CR do you have?
the problem could be when you are exporting from the excell the option that the standard column width is 10 as default you can alter this property.

Cell Formatting
Hi,
On importing an XML file using VBA I/O function, I need to apply rules/format to specific Excel 2003 .Cells.
XML
<Column FieldName="ProductReference" FieldNumber="1">
<DataType>character</DataType>
<Format>x(20)</Format>
<Restrictions/>
<Mandatory>true</Mandatory>
<PermittedValues/>
</Column>
If the above XML-lines (strings) are read, I need to apply the following rules/formats to the identified .Cells(x,1):
1.
.Columns("A").NumberFormat = "General" or "Text" ??
2.
That when inputting a value, the user is restricted to 20 Characters
3.
That this is a Mandatory entry field
These values obviously change as per XML Output. Can anyone help, please?Is this related to Crystal Reports?

Cell Drillthrough in Reporting Services 2005
Hi,
I’ve build a report in reporting services 2005, based on a MOLAP cube (Analysis Services 2005). In the cube I’ve enabled drillthrough.
I know that we can define drillthrough in the report by clicking on one of the members of the dimension hierarchy, but that’s not what I want. I want to be able to drillthrough on a cell. Is there any way how to do that in Reporting Services 2005?
Thanks,
AbdelSSAS actions are not carried to SSRS reports. One workaround is to create a drillthrough report which gets the context from the master report and executes the DRILLTHROUGH MDX query.|||Hi Abdel ,
You have written U know how to define a drillthrough in the report by clicking on one of the members of the dimension hierarchy . can you please tell me how we will do that ?
I am trying to make a drillthrough report ,can you please give me a step by step process for enabling drill through in the reports .
I want to jump to a child report & pass the parameters of the parent report to the child report , I am able to get the parameters value in the child report ,but not able to use those values in the dataset query of the child report .
can you please tell me if this is possible or not ? & if yes how ?
Thanks

|||Please note the the original question was asking about a drillthrough action in the cube. If you just want the user to drilll through to another report, you can use the SSRS navigation feature. To do so, right-click on the textbox which will be use for drillthrough and choose Properties. Then go to the Navigation tab and use the Jump to Report feature. Note that that if the second report will retrieve data from the cube as well, you need to pass the parameters in the required format, e.g.; [Date].[Date].&[20070523]Cell Drillthrough in Reporting Services 2005

I have a cube that needs to filter out data for a group of users based on the company they work for.
I thought about using the following MDX expression in the Cell Data section in the Edit Roles window for this particular cube:
Ancestor([Dim OPCO].CurrentMember,[OPCO]) IS [COMPANY NAME]
The issue is that the users have to select there particular OPCO COMPANY Name in which ever tool they are using otherwise they will only see NA as the value for all measures.
I would like to filter the data somehow so they do not need to select the particular company they are working for. I would then setup different role groups based on the users company.
Is there some other way of accomplishing this type of task using a filter or scope command?
Thanks ahead of time
Steve Fibich
Hi Steve,
Once you have your roles in place, how about using member security to only permit the company users to see the member for their company? (And make this the default member for that particular role - I assume this is possible, but have yet to do it myself!).
An alternative is to have separate cubes for each company, which I can appreciate is a considerable amount of overhead.
Regards,
Will.
|||Will,
This sounds like a good solution, how do you set the default propertie in the role. I tried the the following MDX but I get an error when I try to open the Cube.
Under default Member for that particular dimension
[Dim OPCO].[Opco Desc].MemberValue =[Company Name]
I am pretty new to MDX so if this statement is incorrect please let me know. Also is there a good place to get actual examples of MDX vs. the description provided through most of the MS MSDN help sites.
Thanks,
Steve
|||Never mind I just found the MDX GUI Tool ....I am a little slow today.
Thanks for your help.
Cell comments in Excel Export
Is it possible to include a cell comment when exporting a report to Excel? My first guess was that the Textbox.ToolTip property might do the trick, but no luck.
Example: I am calculating a textbox based on the age of a particular value in days and conditionally formatting it. In the Excel export, I would like to have a cell comment (i.e., "insert comment" from the context menu in Excel) that shows how many days past the age limit the item is when it is formatted.
Thanks much for any help!
Through conventional export methodologies? No. But ofcourse through VBA/ADO anything is possible.

Cell Calculation for cells that already has values
Hi,
I have the table like this
Jan Feb .. Dec
account 50 20 ...
On the cube i would like to make it using calculated cells and that look like this
account 50 70 ...
Same cells has before.
I have tried a few stuff but i cant put values on top of the ones that are already there, so i get the values in the cell and not the values in the calculated cell.
Funny, though, i have put a constant (1) i the 'AS' part of the calculated cell syntax and it adds the cell value with the constant. But if i try to add with the value time.lag(1) SSAS just ignores the value.
Is there a way to do this by calculated cell?
Thank you
Have you considered simply creating a calculated measure using the YTD() or PeriodsToDate() functions? If you did not want the end users to see the underlying measure you could set it's visible property to false.|||Hello,
The problem with calculated members is that the user would have to change the query when browsing on the cube.
What i would like is that, for the users, browsing on the this account or any other i could use the same measure. And for that reason i need it to be a calculated cell.
Is there a way to solve this?
|||You did not mention which version of Analysis Services you are using. I am assuming from the SSAS acronym that you are using 2005, not 2000.
You would not have to change any queries if you renamed the current measure and then created a new calculated measure with the same name as the original. This would be my preferred approach as you could still get to both the cumulative and the incremental amounts.
However, you could replace the value of a measure using an MDX Script assignment.
I am not clear on exactly what your business requirements are, but the following is a sample bit of MDX Script which works against the Adventure Works database to simply adds the previous member to the current member for the [Sales Amount] measure.
|||([Measures].[Sales Amount]
,[Date].[Fiscal].Members) = ([Date].[Fiscal].Prevmember)
+ ([Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember);

Hello,
This was a good solution, inline with the other solution in the conversation.
I think that i could try altough it will clash a bit with all my other calculated cell. I did not remember to rename the calculated member to the actual measer name.
With all this i assume that the cell calculation doesn't allow this task.
Thank you
