    Sort Group based on Percent Formula

    Now that I am thinking about it I don't know if I can do TCVTowardQuota in the view. Is one nested formula an issue? ~Jen

    Sort Group based on Percent Formula

    Thank you for the quick reply! Crap... This particular report is scheduled and distributed so I don't get a chance to export to excel first. What if I can create all of these formulas in my view so they're done on the server side instead? Then all I would need is the sum of TCVTowardQuota and...

    Sort Group based on Percent Formula

    Let me start by saying that I've seen the other threads on this topic and gather that a SQL Expression is required, which gets inserted into details, then a max summary created (thank you lbass), but that is where I am stuck. I've been looking at this all day so please forgive me if I've left...

    Using Parameter values in calculation?

    Kebabmeister, That worked beautifully! I’m still trying to pursue having a field or 2 added to the database to house this info, but this is a great work-around!! I had to make a few adjustments due to new information I was given by the user. I’ll post the info here just in case anyone ever...

    Using Parameter values in calculation?

    Kebabmeister, Would you mind telling me a little more about the formula you recommended? I follow the concept, but not 100% sure how to write it. Referring to "param[RecordNumber]" Currently my parm allows multiple values & I'm OK with having to know the order the records would be presented...

    Using Parameter values in calculation?

    No apologies necessary. Sometimes it helps to have someone validate your thoughts, ya know? I’ve never used a parameter in this way, but have to exhaust all of my resources before I can ask to have the db modified… politics. I have to admit I am a little bummed. I’ve seen the Crystal gurus...

    Using Parameter values in calculation?

    Thank you for responding, I was starting to worry no one would. I tried putting a discount % parameter in the details section and it only returned the first value entered in the paramater. So I created a group on the product & moved all of my details there, including the parameter, and it still...

    Using Parameter values in calculation?

    I am using CR v10 & SQL 2000 and have been asked to do something in Crystal that I don't know is possible. I am hoping someone can advise me. Scenario: I am reporting on sold deals in our sales db. These deals can contain any number of products, at different prices, at whatever discount % the...

    Listing grouped data from left to right

    lbass, I can't thank you enough for this (but did give you a star), it worked beautifully. I'm just trying to understand why it works though & have a question about the "len" part of last formula. I've read what Crystal's Help file has to say about it, but I'm still not 100% clear. I've...

    Listing grouped data from left to right

    lbass, I am using Crystal Pro v10 and followed your instructions above. It worked great, but I think I might(?) need to do one more thing? In my scenario, substitute {table.dept_ID} with {table.sale_id} and {table.psmchargelevel_id} with {table.product_sold}. The goal is to show a list of...

    Number of Occurrences for Conditional Formatting

    LB, You rock!!!! It works perfectly!!! For anyone else who might try LB's solution, I was able to turn the font red instead of turning the whole row yellow using LB's formula: whileprintingrecords; shared numbervar cntregion; if cntregion > 1 then crYellow else crNoColor...

    Number of Occurrences for Conditional Formatting

    OK, I think I figured out what's happening, just not how to fix it. Formula "lbass" (cntregion) is doing a distinct count of all regions in the report (8) instead of a distinct count of regions within each Group (Rep). How do I tell it to count only the regions in each group instead of the...

    Number of Occurrences for Conditional Formatting

    Both are great ideas, I can't thank you enough. But I've made a wrong turn somewhere. So far, I've only had time to try LBass' suggestion. It's not quite working for me & I'm hoping someone can tell where I went wrong. RETRACE MY STEPS: 1. Insert | Subreport | Group #1 = {table.salesrep} 2...

    Number of Occurrences for Conditional Formatting

    I am using Crystal Reports v10 accessing a SQL Server (v8 I think). SCENARIO: I have a Salesmen Commission Report. The report is grouped 1st by "Region", then by Salesman ("Rep"). This order of grouping is not negotiable unfortunately. Occasionally, a Rep will sell something in more than one...
