I am using crystal 10.2, with VS2005 .net. I have used sub report in section and given can grow true in reports. When it displays in browser it shows text vertically grows in columns, where i wanted it to grow horizontally, even if there is so much space it does not grow horizontally.
Please help me how i can do formatting horizontally.Thanks in advance.
You have to extend the field's width to fit the page's max width, then set Text Wrap option for multilines.

I am trying to get a field in my parent report to adjust its height dynamically based on the height of a SubReport in the same row. The SubReport could return anywhere from 1 to about 20 rows, and I want the field in the parent report to adjust based on the height of the SubReport.
Further, and I am pretty sure this is not possible, can I center the text in this field vertically? I think CR only allows for horizontal alignment.
This is in CR 2013 sp7
Neither of these are supported by Crystal. Once the report data is generated and ready to display, vertical placement is largely automatic.
In theory, auto-generating line breaks in your field could push things down and simulate vertical alignment, but it would require extensive use of shared variables. Perhaps it's time to consider a different design for your report?
Is it possible to vertically center my report footer in the leftover space at the end of the page? The size of this leftover section depends on number of data rows.
There's no easy way to vertically center things in Crystal. Frustrating as it may be, there's no Vertical Alignment property on most things, and the Size/Position of things is static except when other objects push them around to make room for themselves.
However there is a ridiculously silly hack you can do to make this work.
Write a formula, let's call it SillySpaceFormula, that uses a loop to generate a certain number of return characters. Based on the number of records on this page, SillySpaceFormula will grow or shrink inversely. Set Silly's font size to be half the size of your details section. Then place this formula in a section above the orange-outlined box and set "Can Grow" to True.
If you do this just right, SillySpaceFormula will grow by one line when a record is removed and shrink by one line when a record is added. Because the formula field Can Grow, the orange box in your screenshots will be moved up and down automatically.
I have multiple sub reports in a report. On the main report there are all the same size. However, when going into the preview view for the individual sub reports some have a width of 7 and some have a width of 7.5. How do I adjust these widths so that all my subreports line up?
Thanks!
Figured it out. I just needed to adjust the margins.
I have created a report in ssrs 2008 r2.It is larger then the normal A4 size .So when i export the report in word i see it clearly but when i see print preview of the report in to the word its contents get cut from the right end.I think it is due to report size. Is there any way so that we can fit the content at the time of export in to the ms word so that user can clearly take a print out in A4 size.
The only way to do this is to physically decrease the size of your report when building it as there is no auto size capability in report builder.
Right click and properties on the grey back ground. Then change the size and orientation as required.
Then click on the white body and ensure the properties bar is open. Expand the size properties option and set the size of your report to reflect the previous selection.
Also don't forget to set the margins as this will effect the amount of printable space on your report.
Lastly ensure you alter the size of you fonts and report parts to fit on the size required.
I'd love to see an automatic sizing feature in the report builder for exporting.
This is because your report content size is greater than the report size.
Report size for an A4 page is 8.5*11 inch,if your content is greater than the report size then it will move the columns to the next .
Adjust the Size of each Tablix which should be less than your report size.
Select Tablix to view properties.
expand the size option and adjust width and height accordingly.
Thanks
Just increase height and width of paper size in Report builder properties. Doesn't have any sense but it works for me.
In Report Builder in the Report Properties change the width of the report so that it exceeds the width of your data. Exporting to both Word and PDF will mean that it fits the page width. You can also adjust the height so that the report fills your desired paper size.
How to increase Height and Width of Crosstab Cells in Crystal report dynamically according to text size. I have already checked the "Can grow" property to true for individual cells but have no change.
I am new in crystal reports. Please help me.
Don't think you can. You only get to set the height and width of one crosstab cell at design time. You may have to consider a different approach that 'simulates' different column widths in the crosstab.
