Series of sharps (Diése) in Crystal Report - crystal-reports

i have a crystal report document, where i made 4 summaries, 3 of them works fine but the 4th just displays a series of sharps (########).

This problem will come when space is not sufficient for the field to display the number. Increase the size of the filed that displays the number.

Parallel Detail Sections in Crystal Report?

I want to know that how to make a crystal report such that its details section should display values of details in multiple/parallel fashion depending upon its column value.
Suppose that my data-set for report is as follows,
I want to group by my report on Id and want to display their Value in detail section so that if value is positive then it should display in left side and if it is negative then it should display in right side. But these two sides should be "Parallel" in display like this
Currently if I suppress a field on some condition then it remains blank or when I do "Format with Multiple Columns" then also the required result is not possible. Because In multiple columns option, it is not necessary that my positive's & negatives columns are equal in count, and there is chance to display positive values in negative side.
Since there is no logical connection to enforce what values should be on the same row, you probably need to implement this as 2 subreports placed side by side. One to show negative values and one to show positive values.
The subreports would be placed in the Group Footer for ID and would be linked on ID.

Crystal Reports is not showing negative numbers

I have a report that has been working perfectly up until now. There is a "Tax" field, which uses the following formula to calculate:
Sum ({JBIS.PrevTax}, {JBIS.BillNumber}) + Sum ({JBIS.TaxAmount}, {JBIS.BillNumber})
The formula works except for when the conclusion is a negative number. We need it to print even the negatives here. Currently, it displays "0.00" if the answer is negative.
We figured out that it was actually an issue with the data we entered in the software running the report.

cdbl in crystal reports is giving wrong results in decimal points

Friends,
This is the formula in the crystal reports 9.
cdbl({nrconsolidated.collamt})/100000.000
nrconsolidated table is having 9 records.
in that one record's collamt value is 154250.
but in the crystal reports output its showing as 1.543 instead of 1.542.
i want only 3 decimal points.i dont know where the mistake is coming from?
in the crystal reports, i clicked on that collamt field and checked the data by seeing the browseData option...its showing as 154250.
how can i solve this issue? its showing the correct value in 4 decimal points but i want only 3 decimal points.
thanks
The below code will truncate the result after the calculation has been performed, and output it to 3 decimal places. This works for Crystal Syntax and should for Basic as well - I believe it is common amongst both.
truncate(cdbl({nrconsolidated.collamt})/100000.000,3)
On the field set the decimals 1.000 and rounding 0.001 will display what you want.

Crystal Report to Print Envelope Labels

Anybody ever tried to use crystal reports to generate envelope labels? The requirement is to print 8 labels (2 columns, 4 rows) on a letter size paper. How can I control the repeat flow to meet such requirement?
Thanks

You can format the Details section to have multiple columns. Size the columns and spacing between them to accommodate the label.

Max number of Columns in Crystal reports?

What is the maximum number of columns that can be displayed in crystal report?
[Including all formats like landscape, A4....etc]
As far as I know there is no theoretical limit to the number of columns you can have in a Crystal Report. You can alter the paper size, (depending upon the printer driver,) to something ridiculously large.
For example, the Cute PDF driver I have installed allows a page of 24 x 108 inches - over 2.7 meters. You can also shrink the column to virtually no width. I have done this when exporting data to a CSV file via a report, with no requirement for the report to be printed, with around 40 different columns of data in a line.
