Moon shot

Well you can guess what's the impact of the election outcome.

Crystal Reports 2008's Cool Features

Mini Review

With a few clicks I created a report with some grouping. Embedded the report in an ASP.NET page (VS 208) and displayed it in a browser. It is already on my intranet.

The Group Tree and Parameters featues were automatically present.

With Parameters icon clicked you can pick and choose items from the group list and keep them all as tabbed pages. I have four tabbed groups, Main Report, ALFIKI, CACTU  and FAMIA(showing).
Click on the Group tree and you have the 'document' map with drilldown features.









You can export any of these to several formats.


You can also set the number of pages you can send.












Don't you think these are cool features.

Can you use Cubes created using SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 in Crystal Reports 2008?

Yes and No.

There are three options for using the cube in Crystal Reports 2008:

  • Using Olap Server
  • Using Local Cube file(.CUB)
  • Using HTTP Cube

Using OLAP Server: Yes

Using Local Cube file (.CUB): NO

When I tried to use a Local Cube file created in VS 2008, I could not. SSAS 2008 creates CUBEs with the extension .cube
Crystal Reports 2008 will look for a CUBE with the extension .cub. This is the only choice while browsing for a cube in Crystal Reports 2008.

Using HTTP Cube: Not tested yet
