I am creating a report in BIRT. My problem is a data set value which I am putting inside a table column. The returned value is a sentence, but in my report that column is showing only the first word. How can I break the line of the column to show the full data?
Try to use Dynamic Text instead of Data field, which I assume you were using.
As expression write something like row["MY_COLUMN"].

I've data table with list of names which are having few differences. I am trying to change those text to similar name within data table as image in below.
If part of the text in cells in data table are matching with the "Abbreviations" list(Col-AK) then Data table text must replace with the text in "To be replaced" (Col-AL) into "Expected Return Table". I've tried using may different functions to accomplish my ultimate target, but none of them is giving perfect answer.
Can anybody help me with this problem.
I found an answer to my problem. I could do this using below formula.
Step 01:- I've used below static formula at first to identify the dynamic formula
=IF(LEFT(AC2,4)=$AK$2,$AL$2,AC2)
Step 02:- Then I've used Index function to return the first text in abbreviation list which is Iodine by only changing partial of the formula to return only single value avoiding others. Ex: Firstly I considered only about the Iodine in the list. This will only replace Iodine into the expected data table.
=IF(LEFT(AC2,4)=INDEX($AK$2:$AK$11,1),$AL$2,AC2)
Step 03:- Then row_num turned into dynamic and expanded the return text data into range($AL$2:$AL$11) from single($AL$2) using Match & Left function as below.
=IF(LEFT(AC2,4)=INDEX($AK$2:$AK$11,MATCH(LEFT(AC2,4),$AK$2:$AK$11,0)),INDEX($AL$2:$AL$11,MATCH(LEFT(AC2,4),$AK$2:$AK$11,0)),AC2)
Step 04:- Finaly ignore errors using IFERROR Function.
=IFERROR(IF(LEFT(AC2,4)=INDEX($AK$2:$AK$11,MATCH(LEFT(AC2,4),$AK$2:$AK$11,0)),INDEX($AL$2:$AL$11,MATCH(LEFT(AC2,4),$AK$2:$AK$11,0)),AC2),"")
Expected Return Data Table as shown below.
I have a report with several interactive sort columns for sorting/ranking various metrics. I would like to highlight the column or even just the column header that is sorted. Is there a property that will tell me which column the report is sorted on?
I have not been able to find any threads that address this question.
No - there are no properties in SSRS to let the code know that the column is being sorted.
If you wanted to put in the effort, you could add a parameter with column names for the sorting. Then just set the table or Groups SORTING by your parameter using a Switch statement and the background color of the header and/or data cell(s) using an IIF for each column for the color.
SORT EXPRESSION:
=SWITCH(Parameters!SORTING.Value = "NAME", Fields!NAME.Value,
Parameters!SORTING.Value = "AGE", Fields!AGE.Value)
Background Color Expression for a NAME column:
=IIF(Parameters!SORTING.Value = "NAME", "Whitesmoke", "White")
For the other columns, just use the column name.
To be a little slicker, you could use the ACTION on the column header for each field to set the parameter and recall the report rather than forcing the user to hit View Report. You would Specify the same report but Add the SORTING parameter and hard code the columns name (which has to be the same as the SWITCH function).
Unfortunately, this would require the report to rerun each time the user wanted to sort.
Kinda lame but it's the only way that I can think of to do it.
unfortunately I'm not an expert of Crystal Report, so I'll post here my question hoping for any help about my issue.
I want to display inside my report the result of a filter on a SQL RecordSet; this RecordSet is looked up from an a single table, of which I want to show some fields of my SQL table, while the filter I want to apply is based on a field parameter (defined static) that I'm trying to set programmatically.
Here below I attached my code where I'm applying the record selection formula, I tried also hard-coding the value instead of passing it through a dropdown selection:
ReportDocument RPT_Doc = new ReportDocument();
RPT_Doc.Load(RPT_Path_Name, OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByDefault);
ApplyConnInfos(ref RPT_Doc);
RPT_Doc.SetParameterValue("data_riferimento", "20161001");
RPT_Doc.RecordSelectionFormula = "{viaggi.data_part_pre} = '20161001'";
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = RPT_Doc;
In the first image attached you can find the field parameter definition, while second image is the record selection formula I defined inside my report:
The report always shows all the records of my table (more than ten thousand rows), instead of displaying a filtered RecordSet. The odd thing is Preview function from Visual Studio works like a charm; it prompts the field value, once I confirm the value the viewer displays the report with the rows filtered as I expect..
What am I missing from report/C# program configuration to make the record selection work?
Thank you in advance for any suggestion you can give me :)

Ok, finally we got the solution to our issue.
We found the CrystalReportViewer object used to display generated reports has 2 different properties, SelectionFormula and ViewTimeSelectionFormula; both has default value set to empty string.
Below I attached the picture of .Designer.cs file with the 2 properties valued:
We commented those 2 properties and the selection formulas and field parameters applied through code / report designer worked again.
I'm struggling with Crystal Reports suppressing rows whenever I add a field that some rows may not have data in.
I've been able to fix some of the rows and make them show by using the formula:
if not isnull({field}) then {field} else "Arbitrary string to make row display"
This at least fills in the absent field with something and displays the row.
Do I really have to try and identify every field that may have incomplete data for some rows? Or is there some global method to make all rows show no matter what?
Something like: If isnull(ANYTHING) then " "?
you can do right click on the field, then under suppress, click the formula icon beside it and you can input there the conditions.
You can try the following in report options:
Convert Database NULL values to Default
Convert Other NULL values to Default.
This is hidden in File > Report Options. I have used Convert Database NULL Values to default to show 0's instead of blanks for null valued summaries
I'm building a report where I have a subreport. This subreport brings some data through XPath, this means it's everything strings from a XML. One of the columns of this subreport has some values, where I need do sum them and show in the end of the table.
I don't know how to put this to work. I've tried to create a variable with sum parameter, but it does not work.
Did anybody need this before?
Scenario:
I load a lot of values from a XPath query, e.g:
/something/something1/something2
This query returns some fields according to my needs. With them I build a table (in a subreport). The problem is: the last column (4), values are strings from XML.
iReport version: 3.0.0
Really thanks!
Solution:
What I needed? According to the original post, a column with strings read from a XML through XPath and a footer with the sum.
Result from column SUM
What to do? Create a variable where you'll keep your sum. After created, edit it. e.g:enter image description here
Fill variable expression with the format you need. Here I used
new BigDecimal($F{theFieldToSum});
Click ok. Now the variable is created, you must create a new TextField where you'll show your sum. Create it and edit it. Here I used the following format:
new java.text.DecimalFormat("#,##0.00").format($V{theVariableYouCreatedBefore})
Click "Apply" and that's all. Compile your report and now you'll have the expected result. For sure, you can do some adapt, but in general this is the process.
