Thanks again Dell!

Need to copy a few hundred historical reports (instances) over to a PDF (or some other format which can be viewed by a user w/o Business Objects), and would appreciate if someone has an idea how this is possible without having to open each one individually in BO and then exporting it as a PDF...

We have a CR that includes a chart (currently a 3D bar chart) showing type and total number of recs for each type. Example: There are 5 total type "A" records, 3 total type "B" records, no type "C" records, and 6 type "D" records. Although in this case, there are no type "C" records, we...

We've used Crystal Reports for years (spanning several versions) and now changing to SRSS, and thus all past reports need to be "converted" or basically rewritten (which is the direction chosen). Very limited (almost zero) experience using SRSS here, so the question ... Most our reports have...

Haven't yet got this working correctly but now on the right track I think.

Is it possible to chart a zero value in Crystal Reports? In other words, there are no records in the database (this time), yet I want to show the same set of "bars" every time with the appropriate "counts", even those with no data at that time. For example, I have a bar chart supposedly...

As always Dell, I appreciate the help! I will try this and post the results. Thanks!

I'm working on a report written with Crystal Reports 11.5 viewed in Business Objects R2. It uses a prompt from a stored procedure (in SQL). Currently the user just types in his/her data into that prompt. (it's a static prompt) However, I'd like to make the prompt a drop down to limit...

Need to delete some "obsolete" reports. BOXI R2 Crystal Reports (mostly) (a few versions) Thanks!

Hey it's all good and thanks again to both of you!

That worked perfectly, thanks much! By the way BettyJ, the parameter actually shows a list of possible periods as read in the SQL table, field defined as character. Can't explain why, but that's the way it was defined years ago. Thanks once again!!!

Thanks Charliy, but I'm getting an error on the formula to calculate the begin date and so far haven't determined the fix (or cause). Specifically, the formula .......... @bdate} dateadd('m',{@edate},-1) The @edate part says "a number is required here". I am probably doing something...

I need to calculate the previos period (previous month) based on the period parameter the user enters, and imagine there's a much easier way than the all of the formulas I currently think necessary. Using CR11.5. The period is listed in the database as a 6 digit field (yyyymm) and not an...

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll look into that.
