SSRS Or Crystal Reports

Feb 19, 2008

Hello all ...

I want to know which would be the best for reporting in either of the above two. I am working on with SSRS but don't have any idea about crystal reports. So you all please suggest the best one would be for me espcially for web based reporting.

Regards,

Converting Crystal Reports To SSRS Reports

Mar 27, 2008


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

Converting Crystal Reports To SSRS

Apr 3, 2007

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?

Comparision Of SSRS With Crystal Reports

Apr 23, 2008


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

Seeking Advice On Converting Crystal Reports To SSRS

Aug 20, 2007

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.

Reporting Services :: Migrating All Crystal Reports Over To SSRS

Oct 16, 2015

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}

Comparison Of SQL Server Reporting Services To Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos Or Other Options

Nov 5, 2007

Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:

re: Reporting Options with SQL Server

I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:

Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?

I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?

Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

Crystal Reports/SQL 7

May 3, 2001

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..

Crystal Reports

Apr 19, 2006

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?

SQL In Crystal Reports

Mar 20, 2007

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)

Comparison With Crystal Reports

Feb 21, 2007

I showed my boss the functionality of ad hoc reporting in SRSS and he likes it. He asked me if we could completely move away from Crystal Reports (CR) to SRSS.

Does anyone have any issues with SRSS that didnt exist in CR.

One question i have is programmability capabilities. Some time back i had to make a very complex report in CR. I create a table in the dataset. Designed the report to pull data from that table and the table was being populated through some VB.NET code. So the users will open a GUI and hit RUN, which is when i will populate the table and show the report. You can assume that populating the table required complex programming and couldnt have been done through user defined functions in a report.

I dont suppose stuff like this can be done in SRSS?

MS Reporting Services And Crystal Reports

Aug 23, 2004

Can anyone tell me if MS Reporting Services can import/read a Crystal Reports file as it can an Access report file?

I've seen a few posts out on other boards that there are some companies charging fees for converting Crystal Reports over to MS Reporting Services.

Is there any easier way? Are there any tools out there that can do it?

Perhaps Microsoft should produce such a tool for converting...

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Crystal Reports Running Slow ??

Nov 9, 2004

All,

I have been tapped to help with fixing a reporting tool. We have a Sql Server database/crystal reports(10) setup. I havent had the chance to look at the tables in the DB yet, but I was told that aggregate tables were used. In my past experience with crystal reports, we used database views to feed crystal reports (in Oracle). I was thinking that I could somehow use views instead of tables and then try to re-index the base tables and compile satitics (if theres such a thing with Sql Server). I was also going to look into bottlenecking and locking (table locking as opposed to row or page locking for the lookup tables...to reduce overhead on the main tables) but, I'm not sure if it'll make a difference since this is just a demo server with no major traffic hitting it yet.

The question is, does anyone have any experience with crystal reports running slow with Sql Server, what should I look out for??

SQL 2005 Connection To Crystal Reports

Dec 15, 2007

I have created a "read only" login on the SQL 2005 database server with rights to the public role with grant connection rights. When I use the "read only" username in Crystal Reports, the database does not show in the dropdown box. When I give "read only" sysadmin rights, all databases appear. I do not want "read only" to have sysadmin rights, is there another way around this that would truly give "read only" read-only rights?

Using Crystal Reports With SQL Server Everywhere Edition

Aug 24, 2006

I have been evaluating the Microsoft SQL Server Everywhere Edition and have been trying to create a Crystal Report from it. When creating the connection from Crystal I have selected the OLE DB provider supplied by Microsoft with the product and then been presented with the 'Data Source' screen. On entering the path to my .sdf file I get an error reading :-

Opening a database as read only requires a temp path to be specified. [,,,Db name,,]

Can you tell me what is required to be entered here?

Also - I only have the Express Edition of SQL Server 2005 which won't open an Anywhere Edition database - is there a way of getting the mobile tools for use on the desktop?
