Formula information lost after Crystal report conversion to Telerik Report

[Anderson]

Problem's Summary : 

Section Formula information lost after Crystal report to Telerik report conversion

What has been done :

I have converted a Crystal report having multiple sections , each section has its own background color controlled by Formula :Also I have used formula to control data formatting (color) in the original Crystal Report.

 

After I have used the convert it to Telerik Report.

I found that the formula is missing in the converted Telerik Report, there is no any coloring effect in new report. 

 

My Question is : does the Telerik Crystal Report Converison tools support Formula conversion ?

 

Thank you

Hello Anderson,

I've migrated multiple reports from Crystal to Telerik Reporting. My overall observation is that the basic layout stuff would be migrated. After that, you need to adjust the report. Specifically, for the conditional formatting for the sections, I suppose it's not supported. But you could re-introduce it manually in your newly generated report.

You could take a look at the following documentation as a reference -> https://docs.telerik.com/reporting/importing-reports/crystal-reports-converter

I cannot see anything related to conditional formatting and my practice confirms that you'll need to polish the remainings manually.

Hello Anderson,

The Crystal Reports Converter in Telerik Reporting does not automatically convert formulas, including those used for conditional formatting, such as section background colors or data formatting rules. The conversion tool focuses on migrating the basic layout and static data, but advanced logic and formatting controlled by formulas are not transferred during the process.

To restore conditional formatting and dynamic styling in your converted Telerik Reports, you will need to manually re-create these rules. Telerik Reporting supports similar functionality through Expressions and the Conditional Formatting Rules dialog. These features allow you to define background colors, font styles, and other formatting based on data values, closely matching the capabilities of Crystal Reports formulas.

For guidance on re-implementing conditional formatting and formulas in Telerik Reporting, please refer to the following documentation:

• Converting reports created with SAP Crystal Reports - Telerik Reporting
• Conditional Formatting Rules Dialog at a Glance - Telerik Reporting
• Data Functions at a Glance - Telerik Reporting

I hope the above information will be useful. Let me know if you have other questions.
