Crystal Reports- displaying calculations for date range prior to date search parameter

STCPD — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:57:51 +0000

I’m working on a formula to calculate the number of criminal offenses that occurred in the same amount of days as my date search parameter but prior to the start date. The date search parameter is always changing. The idea is to compare the number of offenses from the last time period. I want to use the same report wheather it’s for a year, months, weeks or days.

For instance say my date search parameter is 5/1/2012 to 5/31/2012.

I can get the number of offenses easily by using:

{lwchrg.ucr_code}=”23F” AND {lwmain.zone} IN [“Z1″,”Z2″,”Z3″,”Z4″,”Z5″,”Z6″,”Z7″,”Z8″>

But I’m having trouble with the prior date portion.

This got me the number of days in the search parameter which in this example would be 30.

numberVar days :=DateDiff (“d”,{?START DATE} , {?END DATE})

This got me the start date that I was looking for which in this example would be 4/1/2012:

DateAdd (“d”,-numberVar days :=DateDiff (“d”,{?START DATE} , {?END DATE}) ,{?START DATE} )

So I came up with this but it is not working. I get an error that says the formula cannot be a range.

DateAdd (“d”,-numberVar days :=DateDiff (“d”,{?START DATE} , {?END DATE}) ,{?START DATE} ) to dateadd (“d”,-1,{?START DATE})

Help please!

Crystal Report 2008

kim1979 — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:35:36 +0000

We recently moved our report portal from Crystal Xi to Crystal 2008. Now the embedded images on the reports only display a text of “Image”. When I send the report to the printer the Image will then display. Does anyone have any idea how to get the image to display on the screen?

Crystal Reports Paradox Tables – data problems

Bdsystems — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 02:54:43 +0000

I am creating a report in Crystal XI using multiple paradox tables. If I use an idapi connection I lose data when I access the second table. If I switch to a DAO connection it runs very slow locally and will not event connect at all if I try to access the data from a data server. It must run off the data on the server in production. Any suggestion.

Crystal Reports XI period in database name

Fortuna — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 00:12:07 +0000

SQL Server 2005 database has a period in its name. For example, data.12. I call a crystal report from VS2008. I use ConnectionInfo object to pass connection info to a report. I get errors in formulas. Renaming DB resolves the issue.
How can I get it to work with names like data.12?

Crystal Reports XI – Duplicate input parameters

NaviIT — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 04:02:50 +0000

I am creating a Report with the input parameter for all the sales representatives across multiple states. On the report input parameter the values listed are as follows:
N/A
User1 – CA
User2 – CA
User3 – CA
N/A
User1 – CO
User2 – CO
User3 – CO
and so on.
I am hard coding N/A as the default value for each and every state, as crystal reports XI does not accept a blank value as the default.
Is there a way to eliminate multiple occurrences of N/A from the input parameter? Is there a workaround where I can display only the users from each and every state, like
User1 – CA
User2 – CA
User3 – CA
User1 – CO
User2 – CO
User3 – CO
and so on?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
