hiding blank columns in crystal reports while exporting to excel

I have a crystal report having 5 columns and when I am exporting it to excel I am getting some blank columns .
So I want to remove the column when there is no data while exporting.
Could any one please help how to do this
In many cases, you can avoid blank columns by ensuring there is no horizontal space between report objects. You can add vertical guidelines and snap objects to these guidelines to facilitate avoiding spaces.
But for some scenarios, such as reports that also include CrossTabs or parameter-driven optional columns, the problem can't be avoided even with 'Excel (Data Only)' export format.
A few 3rd-party Crystal Reports automation tools can delete blank columns and blank rows as part of the Excel export process. Ken Hamady maintains a list of 3rd-party Crystal Reports automation tools here.

How do I parse a field in Crystal Reports that uses a record separator

Crystal Reports XI, SQL Server 2008. I have a varchar column that uses a record separator to divide items but it disappears when it's rendered in Crystal Reports.
When I check the results in an editor I see that it's recognized as either RS or in Hex 1E. I would like to convert the RS to a comma if possible but anything that breaks it up would work.
Example Item oneRSItem TwoRSItem Three becomes Item OneItem TwoItem Three. I would like to have Item One, Item Two, Item Three.
Here's what I ended up doing which solved my issue. I determined that the record separator was CHAR(30) (using this table) and used that function in REPLACE(table.Value, CHAR(30), ', ') and it worked.

SQL- unreadable special characters

I don't have much experience with MS SQL server 2008 R2 but here is the issue if you would help me please:
I have a table with a column/field (type : nvarchar) that stores text. The text is read from a text file and written to the database using vb.net application.
The text in the text file contains Turkish characters such as the u with 2 dots on top(in the future it will be in different languages )
When I open the table, the text in the column is not readable. It converts the Turkish special character to some unreadable characters.
Is there anyway to make the text readable in the table?
Thank you so much.
SQL Server doesn't change any character stored in tables, I think the problem is displaying the text in different character set. Try using UTF-8 character set.
