Generating a Report from Multiple Data Sources in Crystal Reports


If you have to create a report in Crystal Reports from multiple data sources or provide multiple views of the data, you may find sticky situations because CR does not allow you to have multiple Detail sections in a single report.

If you have to create a report in Crystal Reports from multiple data sources or provide multiple views of the data, you may find sticky situations because CR does not allow you to have multiple Detail sections in a single report. For example, say you have to display data from two tables on the same report page. Now say, you create two Detail sections and bind each Detail section with a table, you will find second table records repeating within the first table records. 

For example, if I want to generate a report that looks like Figure 1.

Report Header
  - Page Header
       o Detail - Data from Customers table
       o Detail - Data from Orders table
  - Page Footer
Report Footer

Figure 1.

To do this, you will have to create two details sections on the same level, not recursive.

The work around for this is using sub reports. What we do is to create two sub reports, one for Customers and one for Orders. These sub reports have nothing but a single Detail section.

Now we create two Page Header sections on the main report and put a sub report on each Page Header sections. The new report looks like Figure 2.

Report Header
  - Page Header 1
      o Sub Report 1
  - Page Header 2
      o Sub Report 2
      o Detail Section (Hide it)
  - Page Footer
Report Footer

Figure 2.

In the above format in Figure 2, we treat each sub report as a separate report. Now you can bind each sub report with a separate DataSet or DataTable. 

For example, if we have data coming in a DataSet from two tables-Customers and Orders, the following code binds each DataTable to a separate sub report: 

Dim report As New DynamicReport
report.SetDataSource(ds)
report.Subreports.Item("SubReport1").SetDataSource(ds.Tables("Customers"))
report.Subreports.Item("SubReport2").SetDataSource(ds.Tables("Orders"))
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report
CrystalReportViewer1.DataBind()

Similarly, your data can be coming from multiple data sources; you can bind as many as sub reports with different data sources.

Note: In the above code, DynamicReport is the class name of crystal report. For example, if you have a crystal report called "MyReport.rpt" and you add this report to the VS.NET project, you will see a class "MyReport.cs" or "MyReport.vb" depending on the language you choose. Make sure you change DynamicReport with your class name "MyReport".

Summary

In this article, we learned how to create multiple sub reports and bind them with multiple data source using DataSet. Using the same approach, you can get data from multiple data sources in a single report.

Re: Can't find report 'DynamicReport' by Mahesh On October 21, 2006
DynamicReport is a report you created using VS.NET or Crystal Report. If you create a .cr file, you would see a class for that .cr file. For example, if you add a Crystal Report file using VS .NET called ABC, a class ABC.vb or ABC.cs (depending on the language) will be added to your project. So you will replace DynamicReport with ABC.

Re: vikram by Mahesh On November 29, 2006

I am using VS 2003 also but also have CR 10 installed.

VS 2003 uses CR 9.0 by default and it is possible Report class does not have that property but there should be something similar.

Re: Re: Re: Can i ask for other examples.. by Mahesh On February 20, 2007

Srini,
Make sure your report has a sub report called "SubReport1" and your DataSet should also have a DataTable named "Customers". If you are getting data from the database and filling it direct, use "ds.Tables(0)" instead, which will return first table no matter what the table name is.

Re: Help To Create Reports by Mahesh On June 26, 2007

Yes you can generate a report from two DataSets. The simplest way for this would be you Merge two DataSets in your code and to the report you actually be passing only a single DataSet object.

Check out DataSet.Merge method.

subreports showing on top of each other by wael On July 30, 2007
I am using crystal reports 8.5 I have a report that has 2 subreports in it. I placed the subreports under each other but the problem is that when I preview the report, the data from subreport one come over the data from subreport two. If I put the subreports far from each other and subreport one has few records then there will be a big space. Is there a way to solve this dynamically??

Re: hi by Mahesh On August 20, 2007

Have you created an instance of your report class you added using VS 2003? Say your report is, JeyReport.rpt, you have to do something like this:

JeyReport jr = new JeyReport();

Then you can access SubReports property using jr.SubReports

Using two subreports.Showing Error. by sree On September 11, 2007
I am using two subreports.In the local mahcine it's worked well.But in the live machine its showing the error that 'An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

Re: Using two subreports.Showing Error. by Mahesh On September 11, 2007

The error has nothing to do with the number of subreports. It seems like problem is in your connection. If you are using hardcoded SQL Server connection in your report, check that out. There is nothing much I can tell you.

It's because of some connection problem.

Report.Subreports.Item replace with.. by Leo On November 16, 2007

Hi.

Even I was facing the same problem. I did it this way to overcome the issue.

ReportDocument rpt = new ReportDocument();

rpt.Load(strApplicationPath + @"\rptMultiple.rpt");

rpt.SetDataSource(ds);

rpt.Subreports["rptMultiple_1.rpt"].SetDataSource(ds.Tables[0]);

rpt.Subreports["rptMultiple_2.rpt"].SetDataSource(ds.Tables[1]);

CRViewerMultiple.ReportSource = rpt;

where rptMultiple.rpt is the main report and rptMultiple_1.rpt and rptMultiple_2.rpt are two subreports. You can even use the index of the subreport as follows:

rpt.Subreports[0].SetDataSource(ds.Tables[0]);

Now, run the main form, you will be able to view the report, but if you click on the data, it will drildown to the subreports. In order to overcome that, go to the windows/web form, change the crystalreportviewer's 'EnableDrilDown' property to False.

Hope someone will find this useful.

Regards,

Leo.

I want the data from Table(N) displays after the data from Table(N-1) with the same page header (Because the tables have the same column name). So please help me Best Regards Thanks!

Re: Hello I need your help by Mahesh On April 6, 2009
If columns are same, its simple.
In your code you get data from first table in DataSet1 and get data from second table in DataSet2. Then call DataSet1.Merge(DataSet2) and you will have all data in one DataSet. Then you bind your report with DataSet1.

crystal report prompts for db login in infview while refreshin the report by preeti On August 6, 2010
Hi,

I have areport for which the source is excel.When I publish the crystal report in infoview,it prompts for db login while refreshin the report.Even though I set theoption to use the same database login at CMC level,it did not work
I have created a DAO connection forexcel and then generated the report.
Kindly suggest a solution as it is not a problem only with excel source.
