    Grouping on Multiple Parameter or Container Report Grouping

    CR XIr2 Here's the scenario: I have a container report that is passing a parameter indicating what type of exceptions to display. The options are All, In Service, Barcode or Costs. I'd like to be able to display a different subreport for each exception type that the user chooses or all...

    Change Characters in String to Value(s)

    I think I may have figured it out by using the InStr function which is by default case sensitive. local stringvar stroutput := ""; local Numbervar strLen := Length({table.action}); local numbervar i; For i := 1 to strLen Do ( Local NumberVar charpos := i; if...

    Change Characters in String to Value(s)

    I think I may need to re-visit this code because I think that it is not taking into account the character case. Is there a way that I can change it so that it is case-sensitive when it goes through the if statements?

    Change Characters in String to Value(s)

    Thanks! This does exactly what I was wanting it to do. Doesn't really matter if people think it's weird as long as it works! :o)

    Change Characters in String to Value(s)

    CR XIr2 I have a string field where each character (case-sensitive) equals a type of action. I want to replace the character with the appropriate action type. I've tried the Replace function, but I'm not sure how to do multiple characters all at once. I tried nesting, but it would replace...

    Group Selection Based on Detail

    Thank you both. So far it looks like LB's suppression is going to work out, but I have a whole bunch more conditions to include so we'll see how that goes. If not, I think Ian's solution will work and I think it might work out better in the end because I have some header information that I...

    Group Selection Based on Detail

    CR XIr2 Oracle 9i native connection I'm trying to create an exception report based on an existing report, and I think I'm getting stuck in the existing report's logic. First off, the data is similar to this: ID ORG Role --------------------- Bob ALL BASIC Bob ALL ENTRY...

    Folder Level Security

    Is there a way to allow a small group of people to see each other's instances, but not anyone else's? We have a report set up in a general folder and I was thinking of setting up a sub-folder that only this small group can access. I'd like to set up shortcuts so I don't have to keep up with...

    Translate Subreport into Stored Procedure?

    We are using CR9, Oracle 9 and I have a report that has several subreports. I think because of the subrpts, the report runs super slow. So, I was thinking that I need to try to recreate the report using a stored procedure. My problem is that I've never created a subreport, but I've modified SPs...

    Suppress Group Based on Running Total

    The report is based off of 2 tables: Payroll left outer joined to GL table. When I added the GL table, the Payroll amount sum duplicated for every transaction so I had to use a RT. For the GLAmt, I couldn't do a record selection from fields in the GL table so I used a RT based on a formula that...

    CASE, DECODE, If Then...

    Oh, I totally agree that maintaining these queries are a nightmare!! But understanding them enough to change them to something else completely is out of my expertise. I did end up with something that works out using SIGN in my first DECODE: DECODE(SIGN(TO_NUMBER(VG.BUDGET_FISCAL_YEAR) -...

    CASE, DECODE, If Then...

    Unfortunately, it is within a SELECT statement. Can I use the DECODE to include Year > '2005'? None of the DECODEs that I've seen address > or < values, so I wasn't sure I could use it and/or how to use it.

    CASE, DECODE, If Then...

    First, I am not much of a database person. I usually just develop Crystal Reports off of databases. So, I apologize in advance if I'm not being clear. We have a huge stored procedure set up for one of our reports. There are tons of DECODE statements. There is a set of DECODE lines that are...

    Select Formula Exclusions

    Thanks for the direction :-) I'm running a few tests of the report before and after my change and it looks like it just really does take forever for the parameters that I'm using. I was using the user's parameters. I tried a different set of parameters and it just a few seconds. This user's...
