    left outer join and report/select expert

    hi all, i wanted to thank everyone for their help. unfortunately, no matter how many times i tried, your suggested null logic does not bring back the desired number of rows. i ended up creating a view (with the outer join logic) and including that view in the crw to make it work. thanks...

    left outer join and report/select expert

    actually, if i'm not mistaken (and i ran this in sql to test it out), an outer join: TABLE2.&quot;COL3&quot;(+) = abc is not equivalent to: (TABLE2.&quot;COL3&quot; = abc OR TABLE2.&quot;COL3&quot; IS NULL) an outer join says give me back results even if no rows exist in table2. with your...

    left outer join and report/select expert

    hi, in Database/Visual Link Expert, i do have table1 and table2 as left outer join. that's how i'm already able to get: WHERE TABLE1.&quot;COL1&quot; = TABLE2.&quot;COL1&quot;(+) AND TABLE1.&quot;COL2&quot; = TABLE2.&quot;COL2&quot;(+) notice, now, i'm doing the record select expert...

    Joining to a vertical table (but want data to come back horizontally)

    there is not a maximum number of possible tiers (hence, the vertical table as opposed to a horizontal table). database is oracle 8i so yes, it supports stored procedures. i've never used stored procedures as the basis of my crystal reports - i've only used simple table joins and selects. thanks.

    &quot;parent/child&quot; displaying

    Thanks, Naith. I had to change around the logic just a tiny bit. This works: Parent = Child And DistinctCount({Child},{Parent}) = 1 You are my hero! Thanks a bunch :-)

    &quot;parent/child&quot; displaying

    Hi, Naith, I see what you are trying to do. However, it does not work because I have many rows of each parent/child. Let me show you more data so it's more representative of my real data. parent child amount ------ ----- ------ 10 10 1 10 10 2 10 10 3 20 20 1 20...

    &quot;parent/child&quot; displaying

    Hi, By parent/child, I mean something hierachical like account and sub-account. I have data like the following. When parent and child are the same and you don't see any other rows, it means this parent basically does not have children. Parent and child are key/id columns. Amount is just a...

    creating a report executable so report runner doesn't need the client?

    hi, i was wondering if it's possible for crytal reports (8.0.1) to save/create a report (executable?) so that a non-developer (my admin) can run a report that i've created in crw. i don't want to install the crw developer's client on my admin's computer. i just want her to be able to run...

    Change Case

    Hi, I found this: http://support.crystaldecisions.com/library/kbase/articles/c2007671.asp Seems like a really difficult way to change a string to Title Case, don't you think? Do you know if Crystal is going to have a TitleCase function in the near future? Thanks. mnguyen_va@yahoo.com
