I want to add footer on my report, but only on the last page. I followed this tutorial which was successful, but it leaves space for the footer on all pages.
How can I get rid off that space for the footer on all pages except the last one?
I can only think of the following solution for your problem:
First - don't use the build in Footer. Instead, use a sub-report that will contain your footer details.
Now, you need to define the sub-report as thin as possible in the main report (while in the actual sub-report - arrange your data as you want).
Then just implement the same concept as described in the link that you provided - means that you need to define an expression in the sub-report visibility filed.
attaching a demonstration that explaining the 'using sub-report' idea:
EDIT
I did some research - If you follows the instructions provided by the link in your question but Strech the rectangle to cover all the footer area, then your are good - the footer will not be displayed until the last page:
This how I arranged the Rectangle over the footer:
Middle Page (you can see that the footer's rectangle is hidden:
Last Page (footer is visible):

I want to display report header in every page of my cross tab report in Crystal Reports 13. Currently the header only appears on the first page. How can I fix this problem? Kindly suggest me.
Check bellow screen shot
Page 1:
Page 2:
Design View:
Right click on the selected fields in report header and go to format and check option Repeat on Horizontal Pages so that it applies for every page
Finally I solved the problem to display header for cross tab report in each page.
1.Create a formula using bellow code
WhileReadingRecords;
""
2.Create a Group Field using that formula field (which is empty group)
3.Crete Cross Tab Report inside of group header section.
4.Finally place my report header inside of page header section.
Now its working according to my demand and display report header every page
Thanks all of you
Check bellow screen shot
You have to do following things:
right-clicking on the row header
select Row options
select Repeat Labels on Page break
Crystal Reports lets you designate report objects that don't expand horizontally, such as text objects, field objects, OLE objects, charts, maps, lines, boxes, and so on, to be repeated on each additional horizontal page that a Cross-Tab creates.
Check this for help.
Also, similar question How to repeat Crystal Report Header on each page answered by me here. If you still after this links don't get solution, feel free to ask so we go into details of your cross-tab etc...
There are two kinds of headers in Crystal Reports. There are Report Headers (which you're currently using) and there are Page Headers (which are what you want to use in this case.)
A Report Header will only display once - on the first page.
A Page Header will appear on every page. (Unless you
specifically tell it not to.)
Move the circled fields into a Page Header and suppress the old Report Header you were using before. If all goes well, you'll see the circled field on every page going forward.
One other possible approach would be to insert a separate section above each crosstab that will contain your repeating Page Header. (Section Expert -> Insert) or (Right click Section -> Insert Section Below)
Then for the aforementioned inserted section, force a page break before. (Section Expert -> New Page Before)
Repeat this step for each Report Header section that contains a crosstab. The downside is that you will have many pages depending on the number of crosstabs in your report. Hope it helps.
Having an annoying problem with a report. It's a fairly simple report with 1 group and multiple detail sections (each detail section contains a subreport).
Sometimes the data makes the groupfooter start just on the next page, printing an empty page with just the groupheader and pagefooter.
The "standard" solution of adding Not OnLastRecord formula in the groupfooters New Page After option doesn't work.
I've been trying with Suppress, Hide, Keep Together options all over the report, but nothing seems to work.
Anybody have other suggestions?
I'm using Crystal Report in Visual Studio (not the stand alone)
What is the result you want to achieve?
The content doesn't fit the page, I suppose.
GroupHeader + Content + GroupFooter can't be printed in a single page, so there's a page with just GroupHeader or one with GroupFooter only.
If you want to divide subreport between pages
I suppose that you have to look at Details Section, removing Keep Together clause to Details, to SubReport and inside SubReport so that details section will be divided, if possible, in the page with GroupHeader and in the page with GroupFooter
If you want GroupHeader and GroupFooter to be printed on any page, also if Subereport doesn't fit
GroupHeader can be repeated on every page ("repeat group footer on each page" in Group Expert), GroupFooter can't.. someone suggest to use Page Footer instead.
I build report by using cross tab in crystal report in the first page i have title page that take area about 1/4 of the page consist with logo and report name and filter detail So on the second page it shown up the same position as the first page something that I want is to remove the report header section and move up the page header section and detail section to top on the 2nd page Thanks you for answer and i want to know Is this need to do ?? because some aspect of user tell that Its' okay don't move 2nd page up its should be like this same position same line its easy to read and compare the pages some aspect think that it's lost the area of the head of page 2 it's useless what should I do from here
To cojimarmiami,
i tried your suggestion formula but it' doesn't work when i preview it show just a page in horizantal by the vertical space separate it for 2 Block (not page) and when i printed its' come out 2 pages in A4 paper What should i do for the next step Thank you
you will have to place your logo, report name and filter on Page Header, then go to that Section Expert and place this formula on Suppress pagenumber <> 1. That is going to suppress that section if your are not on the first page.
I have a crystal report for an invoice that is formatted with some horizontal and vertical lines. The vertical lines cut across a number of group and detail sections. Crystal reports is version 13, and I am using it in the designer in Visual Studio 2013.
I have two problems
1) The vertical lines only extend to the beginning of the first detail section on the first page. On subsequent pages they display all the way down the screen.
2) For the second and last row of one of my groups, the vertical lines don't display at all.
I have tried removing the lines and re-adding them, and this has made no difference. I have also tried changing ExtendToBottomOfSection to true for the lines, but this doesn't seem to make any difference. Any other suggestions?
The key thing with lines and boxes in Crystal Reports is the section/area they start in and the section/area they end in. These areas always go in a specific order: Report Header, Page Header, Group Headers, Details, Group Footers, Report Footer, Page Footer.
Depending on the height of the areas, some sections may be bumped to the next page. Most issues I see with lines and boxes are due to them not starting/ending in the right section to give the desired effect on every page, even pages where some sections may be omitted.
If you want lines to span the whole page, they should start at the top of the Page Header area and end in the bottom of the Page Footer.
What I think you're looking for is a slight variation on this (I'm guessing based on your problem description): to run the line down the entire page, but not actually have it appear in the page header/footer. In this case, you will want the line to start at the bottom of the page header, and end at the top of the page footer. This will give the effect of the line covering the page (but not the header/footer), regardless of how many records appear on the page.
These properties are easiest to control from Design view (where it's easier to distinguish section boundaries), or from the properties dialog (where you can make the top/bottom values exact).
Hope this helps!
We are trying to create Crystal Report but have a problem with page template creation.
Report looks like this:
It should be "stamp" in the right bottom corner of page. First page stamp looks little different from other pages stamp.
At the left part of page on the left margin two objects are placed. Both of them oriented vertically and should work as header and footer (should be shown on every page) but take more room than required for usual header and footer. In this case we can't use usual header and footer to place these objects.
Tables on pages should work as "background" because even 1 record on page should show 20-row table (with first row filled in this example)
It would be great if we have something like "left running title" but we can't see such feature in CR.
I attached couple images to show how the report should look (sorry, i can't post images here because have no enough reputation points):
First Page Second Page
Could you please say how such report template can be created? We have no skilled CR developer in our company and have no idea which way of report creation can be used :(
We also agree to use another report engine if it is free and can work with .NET applications
Thanks for help

You can use underlay property of the sections to get the desired result. You can use the page header and page footer for putting the details and for page-header, set the underlay property to TRUE and for the footer, set the property of the detail section (I presume, you have a single detail section in the report) to TRUE. This will make the details of the header and footer display beneath the detail section.
