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...

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...

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!

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...

I need to display about 10 groups on a Crystal Report bar chart, and all 10 groups are identified by the customer. However, this data is shown on the chart without incident IF a value is present, but my problem is that 1 or 2 of these groups may not have any records present in the database...

We will be eliminating our Business Objects environment (currently have BOXI R2) and installing SQL Server 2008 and converting all of our reports, again, currently in BO, to SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services). However, I have no idea what may or may not be involved. We have many archived...

Is there any way to delete an individual report from an object package (in BOXI R2) AFTER the package or job has already run? I can't see a way in the CMC except to delete anything but the entire job, which we don't want to do as there are reports within that were fine, and now the data has...

Using CR11.5. I'm linking 2 tables and the secondary table can have more than 1 row. I need to display some fields in this secondary table ONLY IF a field (defined as a datetime) is null and not sure how to go about this. I tried simply adding this condition into the SELECT statement, but the...

Is it possible to limit user access to select pages of a historical report? On Business Objects Enterprise R2 platform and report written using Crystal Reports R11 and/or R11.5. Again, the report is a fairly large historical copy, however particular users should only be able to view a certain...

Is there a way to default a dynamic cascading parameter to an '*' so that ALL is selected to keep the user from having to scroll thru several of these same type prompts? Thanks

Anyone know why I can't save a Crystal Report (CR11) using a dynamic parameter any longer? It seems it worked fine in the past, but now I get an error trying to save to our Business Objects XI (R2) instance. And some others are able to save the same report. Error Msg: "failed to read data...

Is it possible (how) to change the group name that appears on a bar chart using CR11? Currently the bar chart appears fine and most group names are ok, but there's one bar showing where the contents of the particular group has a strange name, so therefore I'd like to change it on the chart...

Using CR11 I need to create a parameter so the user can select only certain records beginning with a letter or letters AND is also able to just select all records in the db. Currently I'm using "starts with" in the selection criteria, but an * returns no data. If I change it to "like", then *...

FYI, Using Crystal Reports 11 and Business Objects XI R2 In the main report (group header), very general employee data is displayed. When the report is executed, from the list of employees shown, the user can then click on any particular record and subsequently more specific information is...

thread782-1199452 Can you tell me how this is done? Sounds like possibly an option for us to export a report. Just for the record, we're using Business Objects r1 and Crystal Reports 11. Thanks

Using BO R1 and Crystal Reports 11 We have a report generated with CR11 and thru BO R1. First, I should say that actually we have two versions of the same report; one for viewing and/or printing and the other used exclusively to export as an Excel spreadsheet (so the data can be sliced and...

How can I insert a page footer on a subreport? We're using Crystal Reports 11 and I understand Crystal Reports doesn't support this per say, but is there a work around to get a line of text to appear at the bottom of each page? Thank you.
