I have a requirement in crystal report, where we have to show details section and report header together, so data will be displayed in a same row and according to the input the detail section can also grow in both direction row wise and column wise. Please use the sample picture for reference.
Is there any way to keep them together like in HTML where we can divide any table into one or more columns?
Any kind of information would be appreciated. Thank you.
In crystal it is not possible to add detail section in report header part..
How ever you can split detail section to multiple layout!!
1 - Right click report body then select Section Expert.
2 - Select multiple column.
3 - Then on layout you can provide detail size and gap detail.
Also you can insert multiple detail section and can swap inside the detail section. but not in report header part
It is possible for this purpose you need to use sub reports.
create a sub report and place in header section. Now limit the width of the sub report to the extent you need.
In sub report place the fields in details and supress rest all sections.
Now you can see header and details in report header..
Can you share along with sub report what you want to view in header?
You can use sub-report or setting up the section expert option.
Go to section expert
step 1: Suppress page header
step 2: At report header mark Underlay Following Section
Section Expert

I am actually stuck with a multiple tables problem. I want to display 2 tables in my report.
I saw how to do it with C# but I am not using C#, only Crystal Reports. So I have to manage to do it inside Crystal Reports. Is there any way to do it other than use 2 sub reports?
Because from what I understood (I am very new to Crystal reports): to make a table, you have to put the header of the columns in a Header section and the datafields in a Details section.
But when you create sub groups, you can't add Details sections to each group, right?
What I want is something like that:
Example of what I need
How should I organize my report (in the section expert) to manage such a thing?
Thank you very much to anyone that can help!
You may be overthinking the details sections. When you group data in Crystal Report you get a Header and Footer section for each grouping level. So if you have 3 grouping levels, the report has the following sections.
Report Header
Page Header
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Details
Footer 3
Footer 2
Footer 1
Report Footer
Page Footer
In this report layout the details section contains detail records for Header 3 data. The data for Header 1 is detailed in Header 2, and the detail for Header 2 is found in Header 3.
The table layout you want to use is probably going to require at least 1 subreport. You may be able to pull the data for the first table along with the report data that is a higher level than tables, but you may need to do 2 subreports to prevent duplication of the data. I would focus on getting each table working in individual reports first, then you can link them into another report as subreports once you have both tables displaying the way you would like.
I have created four database fields: ChargesView, CommodityView GeneralInfoView and LumpsumView
So I want ChargesView with header and its details, CommodityView with header and its details.
Ex:
I want crystal reports to be like:
Report Header
Page Header
Details
Pageheader
Details
Report Footer
Page Footer
As far as I know, you can't insert a PageHeader between 2 Details.
In this case, you have to use sub-reports.
Right click on DetailSection > Insert Sub-report > Choose an preexisting report or create a new one.
A subreport is a report item that displays another report inside the body of a main report.
Use subreports for the Details section
Write a subreport for ChargesView's Details section. Write another subreport for CommodityView's Details section. Place these subreports into separate Details sections for your main report, and activate New Page After for both sections.
If you need the Page Header to change based on which subreport is being displayed, you can make multiple Page Headers and suppress them based on a shared variable. (When your ChargesView section displays, set the shared variable to charges. Then have the Charges header only display when your variable is equal to `charges.)
My group header has a chart and records in the detail section.
I placed the chart on the left side of the page and the columns of the table (in detail section) to the right. Now i just want them to be side by side. I already tried to set in expert mode the underlay following section in the group header but this will not work. the data source for the chart is a nother than the one for detail section, so Im using suppressing in detail and group.
Take a sub report and place in group header and limit the size of the sub report to the the extent required and don't touch the graph.
Now in sub report place detail data and display
I am using Crystal Reports with VS-2005.
I have a report with a report footer section comprising of sum totals of a column. The problem is that in some cases, the records consume the entire page and the report footer alone appears on the next page. It looks awkward. I want the report footer to appear just below the last record row ended.
Is there any trick to make the report footer section fit on the last page itself?
If you aren't using grouping, try this:
Add an additional section below your last detail section.
In Section Expert, mark the detail section Keep Together.
For the suppress formula for the new section, specify Not OnLastRecord.
Move the content from the report footer to the new detail section.
If you are using grouping, do this in the last group footer instead, and in Group Expert, mark the group Keep Group Together.
I have read this thread:

I would rather not repeat the page header and footer for each crosstab, as there are six of them, and if the header needs to change, I'd like to change it only once.
The problems include:
Putting the crosstabs on their own page (should be easy enough with a page break).
Making the crosstabs include the same header and footer as the rest of the report.
Reusing the header & footer from a single source.
Making the crosstab be shown before the data (not all that important, but would be nice).
The report appears as follows:
It would be fantastic to have the crosstab appear on a page by itself, including the same header and footer as the rest of the report, rather than looking like the image above.
The report is set up as follows:
Any ideas?
The solution involved these changes:
Provide a dummy query for the main report (e.g., SELECT 1 FROM DUAL)
Create a new subreport for the data details, based on the former query for the main report
Add a second detail band (Detail 2)
Place the six subreports in the first detail band (Detail 1)
Place the data details subreport in the second detail band (Detail 2)
Pass the parameters from the main report into the data details subreport
Reduce the data details subreport's margins to zero
Delete the Summary band (no longer required)
This allows full control over the crosstab's report position while reusing the same header and footer for both the crosstab and the data details.
