My group header is set to repeat on each new page. My details section follows it and the group footer has a subreport. On some pages, the subreport flows onto the next page - so the group header will not display before the rest of the subreport.
How can I display the group header even after a subreport break?
You can do this if you use two groups and place your subreport into the group footer of the second group.
Create a second group (for the same field as used in group one)
Configure group header 1 so that it will be repeated on every page (in group assistent, i don't know the english option name)
use group header 1, suppress group header 2
put the subreport in group footer 2, suppress group header 1
If you subreport bleeds over (in group footer two) group header 1 will be repeated.
Hope this helps.

I have a problem with creating a crosstab, my question is can we possibly add a crosstab from the summary band to a group header or group footer in the jasper report?
Because I have created a cross tab with 1 column (GoodsName) group and 1-row (Date) group but the entire report is required to show in another group (DealerName) with a separate page header (group header) & also footer so.
I'm looking for some help getting a group header to repeat when the group footer is by itself on the last page. On my report, this group header is in the 4th group. The group footer is a grand total that is in the 3rd group.
Sometimes, the records are such that everything in group 4 is on a single page, but the grand total line in group 3 winds up on the next page all by itself. If that happens, I want to be able to reprint the group header from group 4 prior to this final group 3 footer.
Thanks!
Here you can see the report. Here you can see the header that is Material Name and so on. Now I want to repeat that header on each page without repeating the details above the Material Header table.
]4
Here the group by is implemented using one attribute. That is why when I changed the second subgroup to Repeat group header on each page it also keeps repeating the details above the material header table. I want only the material table header to be repeated.
To repeat only a part of a group header there are (at least) two different approaches:
multiple (sub-)header on a group and suppressing the unwanted header
multiple, identical groups, repeating only some of them
To use multiple group header:
Create a group a field (PONo) in your case).
Check Repeat Group Header On Each Page in the Group Options in the Group Expert.
Create group headers for the group (#1a and #1b in your case)
Add a Suppression Formula for the group header that should not repeat (#1a), put InRepeatedGroupHeader in the formula body
This will print both group header when a group is printed first but only group header #1b on following pages.
To use multiple groups:
Create two groups on the same field (Group 1 and 2 on PONo)
Check Repeat Group Header On Each Page only for group 2
This will print both group header when a group is printed first but only group header #2 on following pages.
I have a Crystal Report with only one group section on it. After the last group footer I use “New Page After” in order to start each group on a new Page. The Details section in my group depends on the data that comes from the database, so the whole group can sometime take 1 or 2 pages. Theoretically it can take more than 2 pages too. But with the current data the maximum of pages are 2. The new requirement is now to always use 2 pages for each group even if the data in the group does not require a second page. If this is the case, then the second page should be empty (at least the group part of the page).
How can I achieve this with Crystal Reports?
You can achieve it as:
Split your Group Footer, after which you want a blank page, into two sub-sections e.g. Group Footer a, Group Footer b.
To insert a sub-section: open Section Expert, select Group Footer and then click on Insert button.
Create three Formula Fields named as ffReset, ffIncrement and ffCurrent and set their values as:
ffReset:
WhilePrintingRecords;
numberVar counter:=0;
ffIncrement:
WhilePrintingRecords;
numberVar counter:=counter+1;
ffCurrent:
WhilePrintingRecords;
numbervar counter;
Place ffReset in Group Footer b sub-section and ffIncrement in top level Group Header section
Enable / check New Page After option of both of theses sub-sections (i.e. Group Footer a and b) in Section Expert
Set suppression formula of New Page After for Group Footer b sub-section as:
if {#ffCurrent} < 2 then true
Ensure that Suppress Blank Section is unchecked for Group Footer a and b
If required, to disable insert blank page at the end of the report set suppression formula in New Page After as Not OnLastRecord for Group Footer a sub-section only
To repeat Group Headers on every page you may also need to enable / check Repeat Group Header On Each Page option in Group Expert
I have a report made with Crystal Report 10 that is structured like this:
(Note that this example has 1 page with Value A and 2 pages with Value B)
PAGE 1:
Group Header Value A
(Sub)Group Header with some headings for Group Header Value A
Detail section with values for Group Header Value A
PAGE 2:
Group Header Value B
(Sub)Group Header with some headings for Group Header Value B
Detail section with values for Group Header Value B
PAGE 3:
Group Header Value B
(Sub)Group Header with some headings for Group Header Value B
Detail section with values for Group Header Value B
My problem is that when I fill it with data, it displays as follows:
(The Group Header Value A displays also on PAGE 2, together with Group Header Value B)
PAGE 1:
Group Header Value A
(Sub)Group Header with some headings for Group Header Value A
Detail section with values for Group Header Value A
PAGE 2:
Group Header Value A
Group Header Value B
(Sub)Group Header with some headings for Group Header Value B
Detail section with values for Group Header Value B
PAGE 3:
Group Header Value B
(Sub)Group Header with some headings for Group Header Value B
Detail section with values for Group Header Value B
The PAGE 2 should only display Group Header Value B.
How can I stop Group Header Value A from displaying on PAGE 2?
Thanks
POST-EDIT: I actually found a solution to this issue, although since it may not look like a proper solution, I would like to hear of other ways to solve this issue.
My solution is to do as follows:
1. right-click on the Group Header and select "Section Expert".
2. in "Section Expert", tick the checkbox "Underlay Following Sections". This will place any subsequent header on top (on the z-axis) the first groups headers.
3. make sure that the field used for displaying the Group Header data has a black background (and e.g. white text). This way the new subsequent groups names will fully cover the first groups name.
You have to move GroupHeader into the page header section.
but be sure group must be there. only group header moves to the page header section.
then right click on object and edit formula for display string property.
then put this condition on formula editor.
if ({GroupFiledName} = next ({GroupFiledName}))
then
// if you required group header on each page
{GroupFiledName}
// if you not required group header on each page
''
else
next({GroupFiledName})
try it.. it worked for me.
You have to take the GroupHeaderSection for the subHeader. And supress the GroupHeaderSection With formula DRILLDOWNGROUPLEVEL = 0.
In the GroupHeaderSection you can put the Header details for subreports.
Thus you can get the different header
