I am a new user of Crystal Reports 2008 and ECi M1 ERP.
An existing report within M1 prompts the user to select a [Product Group] and an [Inventory Class] plus other info (screenshot 1).
When I open the .rpt file within Crystal, I can see what appears to be the two relevant Parameter fields in field explorer (screenshot 2)
When I right click on one of the parameter fields, and select "Find in Formulas", the Formula Workshop opens but there are no matches for the parameter field (screenshot 3)
So my question is - how does the User selecting a [Product Group] / [Inventory Class] result in the report only showing that selection when the relevant parameter fields are not used anywhere?

One possibility is that the ERP takes those choices and uses them to populate a temporary table, which is then used by the report.

SSRS 2008, document map label navigates as expected in SSRS; however, when exported to Excel it does not.
Example: The tablix has a row grouping and via the properties has a page break per that (i.e., on Client Group, see Snippet link below). When I run the report and click the document map label name it takes me to the first item in the Client Group (as expected). When exported to Excel, it takes me to the last item in the Client Group... which I don’t want.

In a SSRS matrix report there is a need to click a data value and go to another report to display the details of that aggregate data.
Here is the table:
student_id course School
1 English A
2 Math A
3 English B
4 English A
The corresponding SSRS report is as following:
School English Math
A 2 1
B 1 0
requirement is: click 2 (school A with English) it will go to another report as below:
Student_id School
1 A
4 A
You need to create a sub report that takes the required parameters. It's hard to read the question as the formatting of your data sample needs cleaning up but let's assume your subreport will take parameters aclled pSchool and pSubject with values such as 'School A' and 'English'.
Create a new report and name it (e.g. mySubReport) that accepts the required parameters (e.g. pSchool and pSubject). Add whatever you need to this report so it shows the correct results and and test it as normal. This is the report that will get called when you click on the data value.
Once this is working, got back to your original report, right-click the matrix cell you want to be able to click on and click "Textbox properties".
Click the "Action" tab and choose "Go to report".
Select the subreport you created earlier (mySubReport).
In the area below the report selection, add your parameters (e.g. pSchool and pSubject) and set the values from the dropdown list. The dropdown list will show you dataset fields that your matrix is based on.
That's it!
Now when you run the man report and lick on a value, it will pass the fields you from the cell you selected to the subreport and display the results.
If this does not help, edit you question so the structure of your data is clear and I will give a full example.
I need to allow the user to select 1..N of a particular parameter when generating an SSRS report. According to this otherwise very helpful blog post, that's possible, but its instructions in Step 5 to "Set the Properties of both parameters" has me clawing my noggin.
What two ("both") parameters? In the Preview tab I see the dropdown list, but right-clicking doesn't afford any contextual menu items. The other ("Design") tab shows no dropdown list, of course.
So from where is the "Allow multiple values" checkbox Step 5 mentions accessible?
You get to the parameter properties in Design mode (design tab), not preview mode. Double-click on any parameter under the parameters folder in the Report Data pane. (If the Report Data pane is not visible, Ctrl-Alt-D will show it) There, under General, is where you set the Allow multiple values option.
Does anyone know how to generate a simple report showing all tables in a model, and their columns (name and a few attributes including NOT NULL)? I worked through the Report Wizard and got totally confused.
I didn't find the previous answer to be very clear.
Select the model from the object browser.
Select Report -> List Report Wizard from the main menu.
Select "EntityAttribute" (logical model) or "Column" (physical model) in the Object Type field of the dialog box and click Next.
Select the columns to include in the report (example) and click Next.
Select the filter and/or sort columns, if any, and click Next.
Enter a name for the List Report and check the "Generate the list report to an external file" (example) if you want the report written to a file, and then click the Finish.
Apologies for these recent newbie questions, but I'm obviously not asking the search engines the correct questions.
I have a report I'm trying to reconstruct after upgrading from VS2008 to VS2010 introduced errors into an existing Crystal Report. So, I have a semi-working report I'm trying to duplicate.
I have a report containing some subreports. The Main Report has some parameters in queries within "Database Fields" and I need to pass those fields to a particular Subreport's "Parameter Fields" so that it can then reference those parameters in its own queries.
So, my question is: How do I create the association between the query result on the Main Report and the parameter on the Subreport?
For Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 - That's the only one that works currently, isn't it?
When adding a sub-report [or changing the "Change Subreport Links" for an existing report] you can select the parameter on the subreport from the drop-down on the bottom left of the 'Links' tab (or Subreport Links dialog, if editing an existing subreport)
Once you've selected your field (or Parameter) on the left in the 'Available Fields:' list, click the > button to move it to the right and you'll see link options appear below. so this is the field from the main report you want to use as a parameter for you subreport
Underneath, on the right select the parameter (from you subreport) you wish to link it to. This is the parameter in your subreport that you want to use
does that make sense.
Maybe some images would help.
Depending on your version, the terminology might be slightly different, but you should be able to right-click on the subreport and select "Change Subreport Links".
From the Available Fields column, find your parameters and click the > button to move them over to the "Fields to Link" column. Click OK when you are done.
Now go to your subreport, and make sure that the parameters you linked are available as parameters; you should be able to use these parameters in your Record Selection for your subreport.
