Crystal SSRS Migration
Aug 9, 2007
Hi James,
I need some help from you on solving a problem in Crystal to SSRS conversion.
I am trying to convert a Crystal Report to an SSRS Report.In the Crystal Report the Data is filtered using a Parameter which can accept Multiple Range Values.In order to achieve the same feature in SSRS I wrote a small Custom Code in VB.
This Function will accept the Field and the Parameter as Strings with multiple ranges separated by commas and will return a Boolean True if the field satisfies any one of the given ranges.Otherwise it will pass a Boolean false.
So only the Rows with True as return value are passed forward.
I used the above condition in the filter clause of the Datasets not in the where clause unlike Crystal.Now I face a new Problem. In the Crystal report there are 3 Groups and the Crystal Query has an Order by clause on these 3 Groups.
So In crystal after the where clause the Sorting is taking place.
Now I tried to do the same in SSRS and implemented the Order By clause in the SSRS Query.But the outputs are not matching.
One reason may be that ,In Crystal the Sorting of data in groups is done after filtering but in SSRS Sorting is done before the filtering.
Is there an alternative or any work around that you can suggest me to get the same as of Crystal.
Please help me.

Hello all ...

I came across a website that claimed "There are approximately 116 functions in Crystal Reports that do not have a direct equivalent in VB.NET or Reporting Services (SSRS)." Does anyone know what these functions are?

1) Crystal Reports provides extensive parameter support. The types of parameters supported are: single value, multi-value, and range value (e.g. Start date to End date), or a combination of all three.
2) SSRS parameters only support entry of a single value. It doesn't support multi-value parameters or range parameters. For example, the user can't be presented with a list of Employees and select more than one for reporting on. Doing so requires writing custom code and writing more complex SQL queries

Hi all,
i have this Crystal formula below. I'd like to convert it to SSRS,but i can't convert it just like that because SSRS needs another "else condition"
anybnody can help me out?
if {.RMDTYPAL}=7 or {.RMDTYPAL}=9 then 0else if {.DUEDATE} < {?Cut-off Date} then {.CURTRXAM}*{?IntRate}*({?Cut-off Date}-{.DUEDATE})/360

Converting Crystal Report formula to SSRS
I've got a formula written in Crystal Reports that I'm trying to re-do in SSRS 2005. I've just been using Crystal Reports for so long, I've got a mental road-block today.
Here is the formula in Crystal Reports:
IF {V_VIEW.FIELD1} IN ["AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "DDD",
"EEE", "FFF"]
THEN ({V_VIEW.FIELD2}&"*")
ELSE ({V_VIEW.FIELD2})
(It concatonates an asterisk to the end of FIELD2 if FIELD1 contains on of the values in the list.)
In SSRS I'd like to cause an entire row to be bold if FIELD1 contains one of the values in the list.
So in SSRS I'm putting an expression into the FontWeight properties of the TableRow and trying for something (which doesn't work yet) like:
=iif (Fields!FIELD1.Value IN ("AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "DDD", "EEE", "FFF"), "BOLD", "NORMAL")
(SSRS doesn't like the "IN" in the above statement.)
Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to write this for SSRS?
Thanks!

Ok. I found a workable solution. Does anyone have a better suggestion than the following? The below works but it seems it could be done more simply... Any suggestions?
=iif (Fields!FIELD1.Value = "AAA","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "BBB","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "CCC","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "DDD","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "EEE","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "FFF","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "GGG","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "HHH","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "III","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "JJJ","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "KKK","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "LLL","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "MMM","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "NNN","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "OOO","Bold",
iif(Fields!FIELD1.Value = "PPP","Bold",
"Normal"))))))))))))))))

Hi. We've decided to convert our Crystal Reports to SSRS 2005. We know (thanks to this forum) there are companies that will convert the reports at a cost; however, we'd like to undertake this ourselves. Are there resources you can point us to that might be specific for Crystal Reports users coming over to SSRS, especially for newbies? Thank you.

I am in the middle of migrating all Crystal Reports over to SSRS and am having some troubles converting formulas used in Crystal Reports to functional expressions in SSRS. For example: My formula for one of the crystal reports is the following. Very simple logic but how would I build it as an expression to work in my SSRS report?
IF {CUST_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_QTY}-{CUST_ORDER_LINE.TOTAL_SHIPPED_QTY} < 0 THEN 0 ELSE {CUST_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_QTY}-{CUST_ORDER_LINE.TOTAL_SHIPPED_QTY}

Hello,
We currently have a web server running SSRS 2000 and are looking to migrate this to a newer server using the same version of SSRS. My question is, how I would go about migrating the reports, subscriptions, etc. Our database is on another server for both ReportServer and ReportManager. I would like to be able to simply attach the new instance to the existing database and have everything work exactly the same. I know we have exported a key from our server. I don't know if this is something that would be needed or not.
Any help that can be provided is greatly appreciated. I'm sure this is all covered in some mountain of documentation somewhere, but I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to provide the quick answer. If not, I will head toward our documentation.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to migrate Reports from MSRS 2000 to (Existing)SSRS 2005. I already have reports in 2005 for diferrent application. I need to add reports which were there in 2000. I don't get any issue if I just download the Report from 2000 and upload them to 2005. The issue I get is that by doing so I loose all the history and subscription which was available with my MSRS 2000 Reports . I cant move the MSRS ReportServer 2000 database as I already have a existing SSRS Report Server Database.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Cheers,
siaj

How to manage the progression of SSRS reports from DEV > TEST > USER > PROD...I can see that you COULD manage this all from within VS however then all the control is in the developers hands and even though you can control access with permissions and stuff, its not very user friendly to provide a tester or business area manager or project manager with VS just so they can publish reports as they are approved.Are their any such tools to manage migration between ssrs servers or something that you could have a user test a report and then do something like "approve/promote" it to the next environment, or is this something we would need to create ourselves?
I can see that there are a few things that allow PROJECTS to be migrated (powershell scripts and something about octopus deploy) but these all seem to be too "big" for our organisation - we generally develop reports as a "logical group" (project) but migrate them individually or in VERY small groups (5 is probably the maximum), however keeping tabs on what report is at what version in what environment is causing our DBA massive migranes...Maybe there is something we can do from TFS or perhaps we need to build a utility app?

My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:
In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).
As an example:
I have a database table with a column called ID.
I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".
With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data:
1 - 50
60 - 80
150 - 127
This will only return results within those ranges.
Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?
Thanks,
Patrick Conway

A long shot but someone may have experienced same problem. We are using Crystal Info to run reports against a SQL 7 database. Reports that usually take 1 or 2 minutes to run are taking up to 15 minutes to run. The database is fine ie you run the query through the query analyser and it runs in 1 or 2 minutes. Any ideas... I've spoken to Seagate but not making much progress.
Thanks in advance..

I just started using Crystal, and I have to say, its a pain in the arse.
Can I just run a simple SQL query and get the results I want, without having to use Crystal Syntax?
Here is the query I want to use:
Code:
select * from esmpvald, esmprmtr
where esmpvald.permit_id = esmprmtr.permit_id and
esmprmtr.issue_date >= ('01/01/06') and
esmprmtr.issue_date <= ('12/31/06') and
esmprmtr.permit_id in (select esmvardd.permit_id
from esmvardd, esmudfvr
where esmvardd.var_fld_id = esmudfvr.var_fld_id and
esmvardd.permit_id in
(select esmvardd.permit_id from esmvardd, esmudfvr where esmvardd.var_fld_id = esmudfvr.var_fld_id and
(esmvardd.var_fld_value = 'a') and
(esmudfvr.var_fld_name = 'Commercial Type')) and 1=1)
I will be looping through the "esmvardd.var_fld_value = 'a'" part, going a through f, but for now, I just want to start with the 'a'.
I could do this manually, and throw it in a Word doc, but I'm trying learn this thing. Ideas?

I am working on creating Crystal Reports from a SQL database.
In CR you can define a multiple range parameter i.e. 1-10, 100-200, 300-400 and Cr will filer records that satisfy this criteria.
How can I transfer this functionality using a stored procedure?

I'm new to SQL but have quite happily been using Crystal Reports without it until now.
I am creating a letter template and it has the name at the top then the address
<name>
<address1>
<address2>
<address3>
<address4>
There is always an address 1, but maybe not a 3 or a 4, and aparently we dont want any line gaps to show, so I figured i should use an isnull to eliminate the line and to move the other address line up?
Not sure what to put though, any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help :o)

ive come from a crystal background and im having difficulty writing reports.
An example of the problem im having is with saved formulas (crystal calls them formulas)
eg
i would create a forumula called Difference
it would be something like this
=DateDiff("d",Field1, Field2) save that and then it was stored
then in a text box i would reference it like so.
=iif( Difference <= 23,"Too New","Just Right")
is this possible in RS??? as i have reports i need to convert from crystal to RS, and the iif statements are becoming huge, especially when you reference the same formula in the expression multiple times.
bit long winded i know, and i hope this makes sense, but i am witts end with this issue
thanks in advance
