I have an old report written by someone else and don't want to change it too much. Each data row has a field at the beginning that is populated with the Category name if it is the first record for that Category and is left blank for all the others. A total line follows at the end of a Category section.
I works fine except when there is a page break between the first record and the last. In this case it is hard to tell what the category is since it is on the previous page.
My question is if there is a way to tell if a row is the first on a page? I tried
=IIf( (RowNumber(Nothing) = 1), Fields!DepartmentDescription.Value, "")
but that only shows the category for the first record in the category (which is already done using).
RowNumber("tblMain_DepartmentGroup") = 1
Not the first record on the page.
Thanks for any help.
You could have easily used the First() function. It literally receives and uses the first value it gets from the data collection.
Yes, it's possible. No, it's not easy. It would require some custom VBscript code (to be found in Report Properties). You might be trying a wrong approach.
In this case I would recommend to repeat some of the heading on new pages. Select 'Advanced Mode' at the little arrow next to Column Groups. In your row groups, a couple of extra (Static) items appear. Select the correct ones, and set 'RepeatOnNewPage' to true.
To give us some more context, it might be useful to know what you want to achieve with this.

I am having a problem getting a coded UI test to select the correct item in a grid. I record the whole thing slowly and save the recording. While I am recording, one of the tasks it to select item D in a grid.
When I play back the recorded test, it selects item A or sometimes item B when it gets to the grid. This ends up throwing the whole test off.
Why is this happening? Is the test not recording properly? Is there anything that can be done to resolve this?
Thanks
This is due to following reasons:
While you record, the row place is different with respect to play back;
It always identify with the dynamic row ID and it will try to search for the same.
Solution: you can use descriptive way of coding in order to handle GRID.
Identify the grid and get the row with respect to unique text in that row and do the necessary action.
I am using RDLC report in Win-form. I want to add the Below Page as Summary. That's mean, I want to add this page as separate page in Report.
My Friends Working in Fox pro. He said it possible in Summary Field, Its Like a Footer. But Can't able to Find That. Pls Help Me.
The Committee has considered the following aspects before finalizing the attendance%
for the B.Sc H&HA I year I semester Students,
1. Students involved in attending ODC, Exhibitions and other functions
deputed by the college.
2. Students who had shortage of attendance were instructed to attend the classes in
the weekend / Holidays. Classes were conducted by the staff who
were stationed at the Institute.
As directed by the principal, in the interest of the students and due to the semester pattern,
It has been decided to consider overall attendance % for the eligibility to write
the NCHM semester examination 2011.

Sounds like you just need to add a page break before your summary text:

Yeah, Foxpro makes things like that very easy... Not knowing your data source, and if you could adjust by adding a column/field to the output per row. I would add a column of a blob (or Memo from FoxPro) where you can just dump a bunch of text to it. Then on the last record of the data to be printed, have this column printed. Since it won't exist for any previous records, it wont otherwise cause a conflict with any other content. Then, as Daniel mentioned, you can throw a force page break so this content shows on its own page.
I agree that it will probably be easier to add a page break to your report and add your info page above to that page. I don't know what you are using to create your report Visual Studio 2005/2008 but here are some instructions on adding a page break in VS 2005.
How to Set Page Breaks
Defining Page Size and Page Breaks
I am not sure of how your report is set up but if you instructions do specify the following:
To add a page break to a report item
Right-click the report item and then click Properties.
**Note**
Item page breaks apply only to the report items rectangle, table, matrix, list, and chart.
On the General tab, for Page breaks, select Insert a page break before this list (rectangle, table, or matrix) or Insert a page break after this list (rectangle, table, or matrix).
So keep in mind that applying the page break to an item it has to be a rectangle, table, etc. I just did a test in VS2005 and added a rectangle, then placed a text box inside with the data from above and it placed it on a separate page in the report.
Hope this helps.
This might be a pretty simple question but I'm a Crystal Reports newbie...I have a report where I want specific pages that have a corresponding column omitted. So for example say it has someone's name and information on every page, how would I use a column that for example has the state on it, to omit certain results, like I don't want any pages in the report generated from states that have the "state column" from the database equal to like "TX" or something. This isn't what I'm actually doing, but it's an example of the functionality I want.
I'm thinking it would be in either the group or record selection formulas but I'm not sure how to go about putting it together to not create a page for the results when a certain column is equal to a value.
-Thanks from a total Crystal Reports noob.
So each page of the report is one record in the result set (someone's name and information) and you want to exclude some pages based on the value of one of the columns?
Perhaps I'm not understanding the problem correctly but can't you just change the datasource query?
WHERE state <> 'TX'
Please Help!
I asked my Q in many Forums but i did'nt recieve any clear answer.
This is my Q:
I created a table in a Details Section and I have a Title Col and Point Col in this table how can I write code to find Title of max point in my table???
this is my .rpt overview:
(source: googlepages.com)
you see i have 3 cols in Details Section. Point,BitParagonTitle,Alphabet.
I want to show BitParagonTitle to user according to Maximum of point in footer of report.
How can I perform this in Crystal report? please Help me!!!
So I want to:
Find Maximum Value of point Column.
Find title of Max Point.
I created a collection of Data Object in an ArrayList as report DataSource.
Please Help me to write some crystal report scripts to find Title of Max Point and show it in Group Footer.
This is Important that I dont use SQL DB Procedures or tables as data source and I Collected Data manually as I said.
I am not sure of all of your requirements, but if you don't mind the Details being sorted the easiest way is to group by the Point column and then if the points are sorted ascending you can simply put the field title and point fields in the Point group footer. This will only display the last row of the Point column which in turn will be the maximum since it is sorted asc.
This will give you the maximum row so if you didn't care to see the other rows you can simply suppress the details section. Hope this makes sense and helps.
You'll need to use a pair of global Crystal variables in a formula that is evaluated in the Details section, as well as two other formulas referring to those variables.
The two variables are to store the max of point, and the title associated with that (so presumably a NumberVar and a StringVar, say called MaxPoint and MaxPointTitle).
One formula goes in the Report Header, and simply initialises the two variables to zero and empty string.
The second goes in the Details section. It evaluates if the current Point value is higher than that stored in the MaxPoint variable. If so, it stores the new value in MaxPoint and the current title in MaxPointTitle.
In the Report footer, a third formula is used to display the title and/or value.
If you want group max values rather than overall ones, move the formula in the Report header to the Group header, and from the Report footer to the Group footer, and it should work.
Before anyone suggests scrapping the table tags altogether, I'm just modifying this part of a very large system, so it really wouldn't be wise for me to revise the table structure (the app is filled with similar tables).
This is a webapp in C# .NET - data comes in from a webservice and is displayed onscreen in a table. The table's rows are generated with asp:Repeaters, so that the rows alternate colers nicely. The table previously held one item of data per row. Now, essentially, the table has sub-headers... The first row is the date, the second row shows a line of data, and all the next rows are data rows until data of a new date comes in, in which case there will be another sub-header row.
At first I thought I could cheat a little and do this pretty easily to keep the current repeater structure- I just need to feed some cells the empty string so that no data appears in them. Now, however, we're considering one of those +/- collapsers next to each date, so that they can collapse all the data. My mind immediately went to hiding rows when a button is pressed... but I don't know how to hide rows from the code behind unless the row has a unique id, and I'm not sure if you can do that with repeaters.
I hope I've expressed the problem well. I'm sure I'll find a way TBH but I just saw this site on slashdot and thought I'd give it a whirl :)
When you build the row in the databinding event, you can add in a unique identifier using say the id of the data field or something else that you use to make it unique.
Then you could use a client side method to expand collapse if you want to fill it with data in the beginning, toggling the style.display setting in Javascript for the table row element.
just wrap the contents of the item template in an asp:Panel, then you have you have a unique id. Then throw in some jquery for some spice ;)
edit: just noticed that you are using a table. put the id on the row. then toggle it.
