Display records side by side - crystal-reports

Question

I use a DataTable to bind my crystal report. It contains columns for credit and debit. If either one is zero, so is the other. Therefore every column contains either credit or debit information. I want to display something like:
Bank Name(Credit)|CreditAmt|BankName(Debit)|DebitAmt
My first column needs to display credit records with the bank name, and the second column displays Credit Amount and same logic for Debit amount - which displays in 3rd and 4th column.
My output currently looks like:
HDFC Bank | 550 |(blank) | 0
blank) | 0 | 500 | HDFc bank
I get blank a space and 0 in any section either credit or debit - because I only get the credit or debit amount per record. Therefore it puts 0 and blank spaces for other sections. How can I suppress th blank section to look like the following?
HDFC Bank | 550 |(blank) | 500 |HDFc bank

Answer 1

What you need to do is summarize your transactions by a common column to both your Debit and Credit. I assume Bank Name is the common link. Then summarize your Debit and Credit. Here are the steps to take:
Menu Insert->Group (Select the column common to your Dr. and Cr.)
Menu Insert->Summary (Select your Dr. Column and use SUM)
Place the results on the Group Header line
Menu Insert->Summary (Select your Cr. Column and use SUM)
Place the results on the Group Header line
Hide your details line
Now to further your understanding of what we are doing here, suppose you wanted to summarize by the accounts per bank. You'd do step 1, then insert another group by Account and then add the summarized Dr. & Cr. to the Account Group Header.
Cheers.

Answer 2

Grouping solution is great.
Another possible solution is:
- creating a formula field called NextDebit that gets Debit value from the next line Next(Debit)
- show in Detail Section Credit and NextDebit
- suppress details where Credit = 0
Another solution i working on the query, so that you'll have just the data you need in the way you need to work on.
