I want when my PickUpsCRY is greater than 0,this column is fully disappear else it should be shown .
You can't really suppress horizontal space in the same way you can suppress vertical space (via the suppression of report sections, etc.). So, while you could technically suppress that column's fields, header, lines, etc. with the suppression formula max({table.PicksUpsCRY})>0, you won't be able to get rid of the whitespace and it'll appear as though you've just got a hole in your table.
You could move this column to the end so it's not as obvious that there is a column missing, though.

I am trying to export report in excel but detail section give extra line per record. i want report with only single line for single recordenter image description here
Make sure that the bottom of your section is touching the bottom of every field in the section. If any fields are slightly taller/shorter or there is a gap between the field and the section boundary this normally happens.
If you believe that not be the case, possibly share a screenshot of the report in design mode and it may help.
I would like to display only 4 pages on my Crystal report, however, I am getting an extra empty page. I cannot pin the reason to what sounds like a trivial issue.
My report has the following:
- No fields in the main report - This is not avoidable.
- One sub-report.
- In order to have the sub-report header repeat I followed this method described here. (I just do not understand what the formula means and whether this is the reason for the extra page but I am getting a header as I require).
I am suppressing the pages in both the report and sub-report as follows: in the suppress I am using
if pagenumber>4 then true;
I tried to put in all my sections
Not(onLastRecord)
I am simply lost. All I need to do is print 4 pages only regardless how long the report/sub-report is. I also need the sub-report to have a repeating header. Thanks.
Try to reduce the size:
-If possible supress group and report footers
-Right Click on each section you can and select "Fit Section"
-Change the color of some sections so you can see if any responsible for the extra page
-Maybe the paper is set to letter ? : Go Design - Page Setup, set A4 or you can also try no printer to see if something changes ( this last one will change the format of your fields so backup before)
If you have any footer sections that are not being used, try suppressing them. This will remove empty white space that is added at the end of the report. Another option is to adjust the size of your top and bottom margins, providing there are no design conflicts in doing so.
If you have any white space at the bottom of the sections that appear at the end of the report you could also reduce the height of that section to remove the white space.
I have a report displaying rows with text fields with variable length (I use the Can Grow option). I use a Box for the details. My problem is that when the last text field cannot fit into to the box on the bottom of the page, a empty space is left, and the new row begins on next page. Unchecking the option Keep Object Together on the fields, didn't solve the problem and if it did I don't want the content of the text field to break across pages.
My question is: Is it possible to auto-re-size box height depending on rows content, so I can avoid empty spaces at the bottom on every page (doesn't look very nice).
Thanks in advance.
There are three things I can think of that might help.
As you said, you can limit the maximum size of a "can grow" field. To the right of the can grow checkbox (in CR designer) there is a "Maximum number of lines" value that defaults to 0 (no limit). You can set that to however many lines you like.
The details section itself has a setting for "keep together" too -- right-click the details section label and go to the section expert. If you uncheck it there the details section will start on the bottom of the page and continue on the next one.
Look at the page footer section, it is printed at the bottom of each page, and if it is large, it takes away from the available space for the data. Group footers, if you have any, could give you the same problem.
Is there a good way to make horizontal lines actually line up in Crystal Reports? I can select text and field objects, right-click, and do various sizing and alignments. But that's not an option with a line. I need header fields underlined (and for whatever reason, our standard says to NOT use underline), and I want them to line up across the report.
It's a pain, but I've found one way to do it.
Both field and line items have a right-click menu option called "Size and Position". It doesn't take just any value, especially with Snap to Grid turned on (and doesn't always take exactly what you choose with it not turned on), but you can carefully make sure each line has the same Y value (for horizonal lines). And, if you want them to align and be the same length as the field headers they are underlining, compare each header field X and Width values, and make each line also match that.
In design mode, you can add horizontal guide lines by clicking in the ruler (the vertical one) fields will get sticky to it.
You can also select several fields, right click "Align > Bottoms" and them move the fields to the guide lines.
You can also format a single field to "lock its position and size", then Align the others to it
Another way is to select all the lines you want to left align, move them to the far left with the left cursor key until they hit the left margin and keep pressing the left key until they all align themselves. Just a trick!
Put a bottom border on the header Text Object.
I have a report where I am using colored boxes to delineate columns. To accomplish this, I've run the boxes from the Group Header all the way down to the Report Footer. Crystal seems to enjoy making the boxes "bleed" up and down the page so that they seem to print wherever they want in the Header and Footer.
I got the idea to use other solid white boxes to control this and it works, except when Crystal adds more filler space when "Keep Group Together" is used. For example, when the next group won't fit so is moved to the next page. This space doesn't belong to any actual Report Section. Unfortunately, if I uncheck "Keep Group Together", I get other formatting problems so that's not an option. Any ideas of how I can get this formatting under control?
The solution seems to be to not span the colored columns into the Report Footer section. For some reason, they're fine when spanning groups and details, but as soon as it hits the RF it explodes.
Instead, I just created new colored column boxes and lined them up in the RF separately. It's behaving itself now.
Try marking your whiteout box Extend to Bottom of Section when Printing.
I'm guessing here: your column boxes are marked Extend to Bottom of Section when Printing, and they're getting extended, but your whiteout box is not.
