I want to print data with two columns in crystal report. For example:
enter image description here
But the problem is, I cannot create columns in crystal report. I followed the instructions like Right Click in Section Details then tick the Format Multiple Columns checkbox then adjust the Gap and detail size in Layout Tab. However, only 1 column has been created.
enter image description here
I am using the Crystal Report built in in Visual Basic.Net 2008. Thank you very much.
Probably due to page margins, page size, detail width and gap, the content can't fit as 2 columns.
Use File, Page Setup to adjust those aspects.
Another suspect is that you never actually previewed the report.
The multi-column layout is rendered during Preview.
So you must actually run the report.

I want to display a blank text box at every page display in crystal report with Multiple Column as in the picture below. Can we do that in Crystal Report 2016 SP7?
Crystal Reports lays out content in sections.
So you need to identify the section you wish to use for the text object.
Then, simply place the text object in that section.
If the problem is that you don't know which section, please describe the use case in more detail.
I have content that is pulled from a DB field that is going into my crystal reports into the page header. The issue I am having is the content is sometimes too large to fit into my group header. I need to find a way to have crystal reports adjust the height of the group header because I have multiple group headers that will print in that section. I have "Can Grow" checked on the "format editor" set to unlimited lines, but I also have a few other fields in the group headers that don't give me the option to "can grow". I think I need to do something with a formula but I'm not sure how I can accomplish this. Here is a screen shot of the issue I am talking about. Any help with this would be appreciated thanks. I am using Crystal Reports Version 14.1.8.2060
I'm making a Crystal Reports template. The template has some text in the header and then it has an image. If the text has a few lines, the image is normal and allowed in the first page, but if the text has many lines the image will be cut off in the first page and second page. Could it have ways to prevent the image from being cut off to the second page, such as auto-rescaling the image size?
I tried can grow and other settings in Crystal Reports 10, but it didn't work.
Report Design Picture
Make sure Keep Object Together in the properties of the image is checked. This will prevent CR to split your image across pages.
Best option in this case would be Create another section and place the image in that section instead of text and image in same section, This will force the image to go to another page if it doens't fit in first page.
For E.g, if data in report header, create one more section Report Header a and place text in that section and Report Header b and place image in this section
I want to have this layout in Crystal Reports:
How can I do this? If it cant be done in CR or SSRS, is there any other alternatives?
I don't believe this can be done with Crystal Reports. I'm not as familiar with SSRS, but after looking through the field options I don't believe it can be done with it either. In general field locations are set static in reporting solutions.
I think this would be best done with html/css or even XSL. I don't know the scope of the issue, but I'd assume that you should be able to output an html or xml file from your application which could be opened with a web browser. For html you should be able to use the align or even float attributes or text-align in css to accomplish this.
I hope this helps.
If you want to have multiple columns of static text in Crystal Reports, then you'd just have to get creative with multiple text boxes, i.e. create 2 text boxes side-by-side and add text to each one until it looks right.
If you want to have 2 columns of data, here's how:
Keep it simple and start with a blank report.
Add your fields of interest to the details section. Resize them so that they only use the first 4 inches of space.
Go into your Section Expert->Details and turn on the Format with Multiple Columns option.
A new tab will appear called Layout. For this example, let's set the Width to 4 inches and leave the Gaps at 0.
Preview your report. If you have enough data in your dataset, it will automatically flood over to the right side of your screen.
It'll take a few minutes of fidgeting with the measurements to get everything looking the way you want. You can even have more than 2 columns if you set the Detail Width small enough.
Also, there is also an option in the Layout menu called "Format Groups with multiple column". It's hard to describe in text, but play with this if you have any grouping levels.
Let's say I have a logo that I want to appear in the same place on a set of reports (many files). Is there a way for me to put that logo into the equivalent of a master page and apply that master page to all the pages of my reports? I'd like the logo to appear in the same place on a variety of documents without having to mess around with copypasta.
Using CR 9.2 (ouch, call the archeology dept eh?).
The easiest way to do this is to add a new header or footer section that includes your logo.
In Crystal 2008 (sorry, it's all I have) this is done by right clicking on any of the header/footer sections (e.g. Report header, page header, group footer, etc.) and then selecting "Insert Section Below".
This gets you a new section that will repeat at the top or bottom of every new section/page. Any logos pasted into a page header will be reused for each page.
Note that you can have as many "page header" sections as you want if you find it helpful to split up the header into multiple vertically stacked sections.
Years ago they used to have an page header and page footer. Not sure about the current version of Crystal Reports.
you can create a report as [MasterReport] with the logo in any where of it then you should insert a subreport into it. MasterReport equivalent of the master page and the subreport is like the placeHolders in asp.net and you can create this subreport like a dynamic report.
When you add a subreport to a report, crystal reporter creates a copy of subreport and save it into main report so you can not change the subreport by code at run time.
