I have created a crystal report with a number of items in an invoice. I have grouped the details based on the invoice number & suppressed the detail section with Drill-Down.
The problem is I need the column headers to be displayed only in Drill-Down mode. Not when it's displaying just the summaries. How can I hide the column headings ?
I have found several sort of hack like solutions, but is there a standard way/feature in CR to do this?

I have a Crystal Report setup in my WPF Application. The report is grouping data based on VENDOR NAME field as shown in attached image. Now what i want is to show data inside a group only once.
I mean as in first group TOYOTA HOUSE the Vendor name is repeating although other column values are different. i want is under this group just show this record once and for other columns ADD/sum their values and show. I know i can do that in SQL query but can i do this in crystal report ?
Instead of showing in the details section add it to the group footer section.
suppress details section
and add totals in group footer
I have a report with the following structure:
PAGE HEADER
DETAIL BAND (12 of those)
SUMMARY BAND
The detail bands show depending on expressions I specified. Also, the content of the detail bands are subReports, one per detail band (don't know if that is relevant or not here).
What I'm trying to achieve is to execute the report without any filter as the ID or any other field of the table. Instead, I want to extract the information of all the registers of one specific table (let's name the table USER).
What I'm expecting to find when I execute the report is something like the following:
PAGE HEADER
detail sections (shown depending on the expressions )
SUMMARY
What I'm getting looks similar to the following:
PAGE HEADER
DETAIL 1 (for user1)
DETAIL 2 (for user1)
DETAIL 1 (for user2)
DETAIL 4 (for user3)
and never the summary band (just at the end of the report)
As you can see, all the users are getting mixed while what I want to do is to start a new page for each one of them.
QUESTIONS:
How can I get the report to show each one of the users from the table
in separate pages?
Is there some property I missed that allows me to
do that?
Thanks!
I think I found a way to solve this challenge. I just made a group (Group1) based on the ID's of the users and put the content of my Page Header inside the Group Header just created. Did the same with the Summary band, put all it contents inside the Group Footer.
Then, selecting the Group Header (or the Group Footer) I checked the Keep Together and the Start New Page checkboxs from the Appearance tab.
Furthermore, for each one of the detail bands, selected the Group1 just created for the Group Changes selection combo in the Appearance tab.
I didn't do much testing yet but it seems like it's working as I wanted it to. If I find any other (better) solution I'll update the answer. Still open to hear advices though.
I need to design a crystal report that matches a invoice template. Which means that the page will contain the layout & the crystal report will printout the values in the gives spaces. What is the easiest way to align the labels so that they will print out at the right location on my bill.
For example, If I were to get my printout on the invoice sample shown in the below image, how can I align the today's date label right in front of the date field.
I will try to help to the extent I can:
Logo, Address and date are printed once then those should be in report header so that it will be printed once...
To allign date filed just place the date to the right of the design of the report header.
2.if Bill Number and other items are needed only once then place those in report header.. If place is not sufficient then increase the size of the header of insert a section below.
3.Now group the report with the item and place the Description etc items in group header.
4.Place the values in Detail so that those will repeat for the items if there are more values for each item.
5.For sub total, PST, GST take in group footer. If one is not sufficient then insert a section below for each group footer.
6.For Notes, Total, Paid, Total Due use report footer as these need to be printed only once.
7.Take one more report footer section and write Thanks for your business.
Hope I explained what is needed.
I have a report that has 3 columns and it is grouped by a value that i display in the group header. The report is setup to run down then across.
If the details span across multiple columns, how do I repeat that group header on the next column.
I have already checked "repeat group header on each page" in the group expert.
I have already checked "format groups with multiple column" in the Layout tab of the details section.
It will not let me insert a text object in the group header of each column.
Not sure how to do this. I could write a formula to only show at the top of each column, but not sure if there is a function to find out when the second column has started.
edit
What i want is below
Group Header Text Group Header Text Group Header Text
Detail Values Detail Values Detail Values
Detail Values Detail Values Detail Values
I would like to have the Group Header Text show at the top of each column. Doesn't matter if its the start of a new group or in the middle of the group.
thanks.
okay, I have your solution, the field, that you are grouping by , just place it on to the page header and it will repeat itself on every page until the columns of that group are finished.
Lets say you are grouping by Employee Names, just put the Employee Name field on to the page header and it should solve the issue, I jsut tried it and it worked, thanks.
There is Previous() function available in formulas that allows to show-hide a Text Object based on the change of specific field value from previous to current record.
Is this what are you looking for? Can you edit you question drawing a sample af what you have and what you want?
i have faced some problem , when i want to display some static Title after i have displayed a few number of Rows . for Example , the first 4 rouws on crystal Report has header"Training " the next 4 rows mmust have "Education " Report Header.
i am trying to display the report using by calling one Stored Procedures any one who can help me please??
You could insert a new detail section above your current detail section and have the new section only be visible based on record count or some value in the data. Add a new section in the details, Format Section->Suppress and enter a formula controlling when the new section is visible. For example, a running total field named InspIDCount and this formula in the suppress section ({#InspIDCount} mod 5 <> 0) will cause a blank row every 5 records. The new section could contain a formula to display the correct "title".
I think I misunderstood your question. The number of rows for each type is probably not constant. A better way to handle this would the to insert a group into your report if the data is not already grouped. Group by the record type (Education, Training Etc). You probably want to suppress the group header but show group by footer. The footer could display a field from the database showing the type or it could display a formula (string) based on the record type. It would only take a few minutes to give this a try.
