I have a cross-tab table that I want to group each column by an specific month for each year. (ex. March 2011, March 2012, March 2013 and so on).
I'm guessing that a formula is needed to do this since there's no predefined functions in CR that can help me group dates like that.
Is this true?

I want to create a graph line in tableau with a count distinct id per month.
I use an excel spreadsheet that is updated a few times per month but never on the same date, so I have different dates registered as months go by.
I want to use the last date registered per month so I can use that date to show month's trend through the years. Each id represent a different construction building, so it is expected that the same id can be found on different months.
This is what I tried: Tableau Fixed (LOD) formula the get last date registered per each month:
{ FIXED [id_constructionbuilding], MONTH([date_registered]): MAX([date_registered])}
Then I use rows and columns in tableau but I get more than one max date (my excel has 2020 and 2021 dates, so it's picking dates from October 2020 and October 2021 for example). Dates are order according to Spanish so you will see month and days shifted:
I would suggest updating your calculated field to:
{ FIXED [id_constructionbuilding],DATETRUNC('month', [date_registered]), DATETRUNC('year', [date_registered]):MAX([date_registered])}
This will keep the level of detail (LOD) to the id_constru..., month and year.
In cross Tab:
One column is date. I need to show only month in following order fiscal year order:
April
May
june
July
August
September
october
november
december
january
febuary
march.
It should not be more than one time. While I am trying I am getting duplicates months in the column.
it may happen because of many causes. My opinion is, you should put some screen shot or your codes here, so it easier for experts to understand you problem.
this is what i can suggest to you
if you have many tables linked together, please double check if the link is correct or not
OR
you can select Database-->Select Distinct Record at the menu
I have designed student ID Card using crystal report version 13_0_9 for visual studio 2013.
There 2 fields on student ID card that reflect year and month. For the field year I need to show it as 2015 - 2016. And for month it need show as June To May.
I tried placing two special fields for year, month and formatted to show only year and month value.
But the fields reflect only current year and month, how do I achieve this to reflect year as 2015 - 2016 and month as June To May. See below Image.

A formula called Year:
cstr(Year (CurrentDateTime),"#") & '-' & Right(cstr(Year (CurrentDateTime) + 1 ,"#"),2);
and one called Month
cstr(CurrentDateTime,"MMM") & ' to ' & cstr(DateAdd("m",11,DateAdd("y", 1, CurrentDateTime)),"MMM")
I'm on Crystal standalone but should work equally in VS 2013
I have a SP in SQL that will pull data based on a start and end date. What I am trying to achieve in Crystal Reports is a way to group them by Month. most of the account only have 1 usage per month but now an again a few have more that one and I like to have crystal reports display them as a grouped total.
I think I need to make a formula that says is the date month is equal to 01 for Jan 02 for Feb, etc.
But I don't know how to write it.
any suggestions are very welcome
Adding a group for month is fairly simple in Crystal Reports - a good tutorial for an older version can be found here.
In simple steps:
Insert a group section onto your report.
Group on the date field
Select the dropdown for "this section will be printed:" and choose "for each month"
I'm trying to take one group and put it in two different columns. I know you can do that for the details of a group in the section expert but it won't allow you do so for a group. The group is date that I've separated by months for the all of last year and this year to the current date and I want last year's months in one column and this year's months in another column. Like this:
January 2011 January 2012
February 2011 February 2012
March 2011 March 2012
April 2011 April 2012
May 2011
June 2011
July 2011
August 2011
September 2011
October 2011
November 2011
December 2011
That way the months are easy to compare and they can be drilled down. Any ideas?
In Details section's 'Section Expert', select 'Format with Multiple Columns'
Select the (now visible) Layout tab
Select 'Format Groups with multiple column'
Add a second group on your date field by year (make sure it is 'outside' the mm/yyyy grouping)
Size the footer of the section you created in #4 to get each year to be in its own column
If you group by month name (like monthname({transaction.date}) so January 2011 and 2012 will be in the same group) then you can use a running total to summarize the years individually within that group. You can do this by creating two running total fields, one with an evaluate formula like year({transaction.date})=2010 and another with the formula year({transaction.date})=2011.
Note that running totals won't work in the group header though, so you'd need to migrate those fields down into the group footer instead.
How about using a cross-tab like:
2011 2012
January 10 12
February 5 12
March 8 1
This would be a lot more flexible.
