I have a report with a large result set that can be grouped multiple ways.
Is there a way to give a user the option to change the grouping level at
runtime. For example if my data was grouped like this:
A
B
C
C
B
C
C
But instead of seeing the grouping broken up by "B", the user wants to view
the data without the "B" groups. They could have a drop-down list or
something that lets them switch it to be:
A
C
C
C
C
Hope this makes sense and someone has an idea.

Patrick StadlerHi,
I have the same functionality in some of my reports and what I end-up doing
is create a grouping parameter for my reports and use this parameter.value to
group my data within my report table ...
HTH,

Change Crystal Database in vba
hi,
I have to use vba to display a report.
But this report should work on multiple database without having to change the report each time.
So I would like to change the report on runtime.
I think i can use LogOnServer (method of the application Object) or something.
Now i don't know how to use it. Looked for examples on the kb of crystal and this forum but wasn't succesfull to make it work.
Can somebody help me.
This is the code i use to call the report:
Set crxReport = crxApplication.OpenReport(MyReportFile)
crxReport.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue (DocNumber)
Me!Crviewer1.ReportSource = crxReport
Me!Crviewer1.ViewReport
Crviewer1.Zoom (100)
While Me!Crviewer1.IsBusy
DoEvents
Wendreport.Database.Tables(1).SetLogOnInfo ServerName, DBName, UserID, Pwd
This will set the logon info for the table used in the report.

central subscriber
A central subscriber whose table is updated by multiple publishers and the
transactional push replication breaks on one of the publishers.
Does
a. If you do a new snapshot for that publisher does it automatically delete
the existing data in that table for that publisher assuming you have the
proper constraints in place for a unique column and then transactional
replication procedes as normal after the snapshot?
-or-
b. You have to wipe out the whole table and redo all the snapshots, i.e
reinitialize all the subscriptions.
-or-
c. something else
Any hard data in BOL,white papers, or other references to support either of
the possibilities?
a) But only if you user filters, and set up your name conflicts correctly.
To do this, right click on your publication, select properties, click on the articles tab, click on the browse button (the three dots) and then click on the snapshot tab. In the name conflicts section, pick delete all data that matches the row filter.
For Filters click on your Filter Commands tab, and add a filter condition. You might have to make changes to your schema to add a column which uniquely identifies your publisher.

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.

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

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.

CDE IDataReader Question
We've extended the IDataReader class to allow the ability to select data from multiple datasources as DataTables and then combine the multiple DataTables into one single DataTable.
Here's our internal object array that holds the values being returned to SSRS
-
internal object[] m_cols;
-
Here's our IDataReader.Read() implementation where we attempt to sort our DataTable after the combination takes place.
-
bool Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataProcessing.IDataReader.Read()
{
DataView dv = new DataView(masterTable);
dv.Sort = "CLIENT ASC";
int colCounter = 0;
while (rowCounter < dv.Table.Rows.Count)
{
if (dv.Table.Rows != null)
{
foreach (DataColumn dc in dv.Table.Columns)
{
m_cols[colCounter] = dv.Table.Rows[rowCounter].ItemArray[colCounter].ToString();
colCounter++;
}
rowCounter++;
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
Here's our IDataReader.GetValue() implemtation that returns data to the SSRS Report Designer
-
object Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataProcessing.IDataReader.GetValue(int fieldIndex)
{
return m_cols[fieldIndex];
}
It's returning data to our SSRS designer, but it's not sorted..
I can't understand it...but it's pretty important that I get this figured out fast...
thanks

> It's returning data to our SSRS designer, but it's not sorted..
Not sure what you mean with that. Does the original query specify an explicit sort order?
Note that even if the original dataset is not sorted, you can apply sorting directly in the report (e.g. on a data region or on a group) - but sorting the data directly in the dataset query generally yields better performance.

Cast - differences between SQL2000 and SQL2005
I came across a problem when migrating from SQL2000 to SQL2005.
Table1 - large table with multiple columns including columns (X21 varchar(50), Start datetime, Complete datetime)
View1 - Only returns integer values into the dwpId column
SELECT X21 AS dwpId, Start AS startDate, Complete AS endDate
FROM Table1
WHERE (X21 IS NOT NULL) AND (X21 LIKE '[0-9]%') AND
(ProjectID NOT LIKE '%_WI')
View2
SELECT cast(dwpId as int) as dwpId, startDate, endDate
FROM View1
In SQL2005, when selecting values from View2 an error is returned indicating that the statement failed when converting a varchar value to a data type int. In SQL2000, this same statement would return the appropriate rows from the view.
I dont think this is a problem with cast..
Problem is with your data, see the Select statement for Creation of view1,
If the data contains any non numerics also, It will select ex: '123A'
Modify your Select Query to fetch only Integers like this
SELECT X21 AS dwpId, Start AS startDate, Complete AS endDate
FROM Table1
WHERE (X21 IS NOT NULL) AND ISNUMERIC(X21)=1 AND
(ProjectID NOT LIKE '%_WI')
|||IsNumeric does not guarantee that the data can be converted to an integer. IsNumeric simply gurantees that the value can be converted to 'some type' of numeric data type. There is a trick that you can use with IsNumeric to assure that you have an integer.
The following can be copy/pasted to a query analyzer window and run so that you can see the difference.
Declare @.Temp Table(Data VarChar(20))
Insert Into @.Temp Values('1')
Insert Into @.Temp Values('1.3')
Insert Into @.Temp Values('1e4')
Insert Into @.Temp Values('2d3')
Insert Into @.Temp Values('$43.3')
Insert Into @.Temp Values('abc')
Select Data, IsNumeric(Data), IsNumeric(Data + '.0e0')
From @.Temp
Only the first value is an actual integer. By adding .0e0 to the string before checking for IsNumeric, you are guaranteed to have a valid integer.
I recommend changing your query. .. And IsNumeric(X21 + '.0e0') = 1 and ...
|||Good Suggestion, IsNumeric returns 1, If the data contains valid integer, floating point number, money or decimal type
Change the Query ,according to the mastros suggestion
|||The problem is that SQL Server 2005 is more aggressive in terms of evaluating expressions in your query and moving them to different stages of the query plan. This might result in conversion error like in your case if the CAST gets computed before the WHERE clause checks. So there is no guarantee that the expressions in the WHERE clause will be computed first. This was true even in SQL Server 2000 except that you probably never hit it for your schema/data set. You can get the same error there also if the query plan changes.
To resolve the problem, you need to either correct your data model to represent the values correctly. Use float if your data is float - don't mix values from different domains. Or you will have to use CASE in the SELECT list to avoid the conversion problem. Note that using CASE expression is the only way to control order of execution of various expressions. See link below for more details (search for unsafe expressions):
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143359.aspx
To summarize you have two solutions:
1. Fix your data model / schema so you represent the values in their proper domain (not float values in varchar and mixing various values in string)
2. Or modify your SELECT in the 2nd view to:
SELECT cast(CASE WHEN dwpId LIKE '[0-9]%' THEN dwpId END as int) as dwpId, startDate, endDate
FROM View1
Note that even above check is not entirely correct because not all values that have just numeric digits can be successfully converted to int. You might get overflow errors for example. You could use ISNUMERIC but that checks for integer, numeric, and money conversions so it will let more data through. So it is best you correct your schema to avoid all these issues.
