I have this crosstab in my crystal report, alignment is fine whenever I'd generate it thru front-end. This is how it looked like:
But after exporting the report to excel, the details in the Staff ID messes up the alignment, I tried removing it, then export it, the alignment is fine, but whenever the Staff ID is included, it messes up the alignment in excel file. Here's how it looked like:
Yes, this is known issue or I say this is the functionality. While export to excel, it ask option(I was done quite long time ago, so not exactly at right now) 1. with format 2. without format.
Default is with format and we can not control (it render as per its logic which is unknown at design time). The problem with can grow or auto-width option of the fields. Whenever you set true, will expand with merge.
Just check how to resolve :

In short, I need to reset the playhead back to frame 1 at the time of the script running.
I'm creating a script for exporting a handful comps after updating some text.
One export will be a jpg, and then 2 short videos. I am using app.executeCommand(2104) which is Save Frame As to add the current frame to the render queue for the jpg export. Otherwise, AE would be trying to export a jpg sequence even if only 1 frame long. This affects the output name and the settings of the export. I haven't found an easy way of avoiding the added formatting.
I will be giving this to inexperienced coworkers, who will surely forget to reset the playhead before hitting my export button. So I was trying to force the playhead back to the beginning within the script.
Export Changes
I have tried updating the output render settings with a Time Span Start and Time Span Duration but that changed it back into the jpg sequence.
I thought I could trick/hack it by creating a new comp and then deleting. since when doing it by hand it moves the playhead to zero of the newly created comp. however, when changing focus back to the JPG comp the playhead jumped back to where it was originally.
I have searched through both of the official Adobe guides for scripting and the usual net forums but I haven't found a single command that works for moving the playhead other than by hand. I'm hoping I just missed something obvious.
The playhead-time-thingy-line is called the CTI (Current Time Indicator) in AE-Land. So this should work.
app.project.activeItem.time = 0;
(How) can I move the CTI from within a script?
I have a report that displays a table of information inside a cell of another table. When the report is exported to excel there are blank rows above and below the table, the report looks fine when in HTML. I cannot have these as they throw errors when being imported into another application. How can I make it so that the table is one cell and no extra lines these?
Include that data in the outer list. If you are using Cognos as an ETL tool (something it is NOT good at) you'll want to flatten the output. Any formatting will cause you trouble downstream.
Excel format is probably not the best solution. You'll want to send your report to Excel Data or CSV.
I have a Microsoft Access 2010 database program that let's users update certain information within based on permissions. There are 2 versions, one for each facility. I recently added a new form to the 2nd facility by copy/pasting the form from the 1st file and then adding the necessary queries.
Everything worked great except for one column that contains a RowNumber formula for displaying the, you guessed it, row number. This was working in the 1st file and I have made sure that every property matches exactly, but the image below is what I get when I try to open the form. As if to add more chaos to the mix, the 1st file started showing the same results as well, despite working perfectly fine before and me not even touching that specific text box.
I have Googled this issue but have not seen anything with this specific result. Can anyone explain what this means?
Column in question (where formula is located):
Name: Text57
Control Source: =RowNum([Form])
Visible: No
Datasheet Capt: Seq
Column in question:
Name: Label58
Caption: Text57
Visible: Yes
Row numbering on the fly normally is completely academic in Access as it has no meaning. The row number on a form has no relationship to anything in the data, and can change if the underlying data changes in any way.
The RowNum() function is not inbuilt in access as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure how it could work.
I'm writing a Notes Client application. Web compatibility is a secondary concern. The language is LotusScript.
The specification: a form to enter lines from receipts. The lines are all saved as part of the same document so that they can be signed as an atomic unit.
When a line is added, it is to be formatted into a table for presentation. Ultimately, this architecture is like an input/datastore/presentation split.
I've managed to get the data stored and signed, and I think I've managed to get it deserializing properly (the LotusScript debugger makes it difficult to see, but it looks right). The problem now is the UI.
Looking at the Programmable Table, it is always a tabbed table with only one row shown per tab. I need a programmable table which can dynamically have rows added to it for display, without forcing new tabs to be created.
This suggests that I would need to use a Rich Text field to contain a table, but thus far my attempts to get anything to display when I try to update a Rich Text field in edit mode have failed. I am forced to conclude that it is impossible.
I cannot figure out how I'm supposed to do a dynamically-displayed list of tabular data like this. Any advice?
Most people just create a table with one row and N columns, with a multi-valued field in each column, and use code to append values to each of the fields in parallel. You don't get borders between rows this way or the ability to do variable formatting of cells, and you have to be careful to avoid letting data length exceed column widths in order to keep everything aligned properly.
If you truly want a dynamic table for presentation with all the bells and whistles that you can get in terms of cell formatting, then the Midas Rich Text API from Genii Software is a commercial solution that can do the job.
I blogged about this a couple of years ago: http://blog.texasswede.com/dynamic-tables-in-classic-notes/
This is a non-XPages solution, but of course you can also use XPages to achieve the same/similar result. It does not use tabs, as each row is a separate table.
Alternatively, you can build your Rich Text Table in another NotesDocument, which you then save. Then use NotesUIDocument.ImportItem (which is undocumented, but present in the R8.5 mail template) to update your NotesUIDocument.
Don't forget to delete the other NotesDocument when you're done.
Another option is to build the table in HTML in computed text, and re-open the document every time you modify it. I have inherited a system that does that, and I hate it...so be warned :)
Let's say I have 10 reports, each of which contain 1 or more tables and charts.
I want to allow a user to select a bar chart from report 1, a grid and pie chart from report 2, a grid from report 3 etc to create a composite report.
I think I have a solution in Telerik whereby I combine multiple reports together, as sub-reports, and hide all elements (tables, charts) except the ones that the user wants to include. If all elements are placed inside min-sized panels then white space should disappear as elements are hidden. I've done a quick test using this method and it appears to work.
My question is, is this the best way to approach the requirment? Are there better approaches with other tools such as Crystal Reports, ActiveReports and DevExpress?

Are you trying to combine these report at run time? In ActiveReports, these 3 reports can be run separately and then all the three of them can be combined to create one report document or individual pages from these can be combined together to create another report document. This document can then be viewed in any of the viewers, printed or exported to pdf and excel and such.
At design time, it is doable but is not worth it. Will need some code to make sure that the layout is first created correctly based on user selection of certain kind of report and then you will have to make sure that correct data is getting fed prior to running the report.
