Crystal Reports putting a group in different columns - crystal-reports

I'm trying to take one group and put it in two different columns. I know you can do that for the details of a group in the section expert but it won't allow you do so for a group. The group is date that I've separated by months for the all of last year and this year to the current date and I want last year's months in one column and this year's months in another column. Like this:
January 2011 January 2012
February 2011 February 2012
March 2011 March 2012
April 2011 April 2012
May 2011
June 2011
July 2011
August 2011
September 2011
October 2011
November 2011
December 2011
That way the months are easy to compare and they can be drilled down. Any ideas?

In Details section's 'Section Expert', select 'Format with Multiple Columns'
Select the (now visible) Layout tab
Select 'Format Groups with multiple column'
Add a second group on your date field by year (make sure it is 'outside' the mm/yyyy grouping)
Size the footer of the section you created in #4 to get each year to be in its own column

If you group by month name (like monthname({transaction.date}) so January 2011 and 2012 will be in the same group) then you can use a running total to summarize the years individually within that group. You can do this by creating two running total fields, one with an evaluate formula like year({transaction.date})=2010 and another with the formula year({transaction.date})=2011.
Note that running totals won't work in the group header though, so you'd need to migrate those fields down into the group footer instead.

How about using a cross-tab like:
2011 2012
January 10 12
February 5 12
March 8 1
This would be a lot more flexible.

How to display previous year totals into current year in Tableau??without creating parameter

I need to create a field of previous year total sales in the current year column.
Here is an example based on it being 2018 today: in 2018, it should be 2017 total sales(full year), in 2019, it should be 2018 Sales(jan-apr would be only months in may), and 2020 should be blank, as there are no data in 2019 yet, etc.
Use the calculation to make it as "Date-1".

Crystal Report that has group summary only

I have a crystal report that uses two groups for counting sales by year & month. I would like to know how to display the summaries across the page rather than down.
2009
jan 15
feb 5
etc,
2010
jan 30
feb 18
I would like the report to be as follows:
2009 2010
Jan 15 30
Feb 5 18
Thank You
You can use Cross Tab like this:
right click to your report white space > Insert > Cross-Tab...
Select columns, Rows, Fields to Summarized whatever fields you want.
Then move it to Section 4. Good Luck!

Year and month in a crystal report

I have designed student ID Card using crystal report version 13_0_9 for visual studio 2013.
There 2 fields on student ID card that reflect year and month. For the field year I need to show it as 2015 - 2016. And for month it need show as June To May.
I tried placing two special fields for year, month and formatted to show only year and month value.
But the fields reflect only current year and month, how do I achieve this to reflect year as 2015 - 2016 and month as June To May. See below Image.

A formula called Year:
cstr(Year (CurrentDateTime),"#") & '-' & Right(cstr(Year (CurrentDateTime) + 1 ,"#"),2);
and one called Month
cstr(CurrentDateTime,"MMM") & ' to ' & cstr(DateAdd("m",11,DateAdd("y", 1, CurrentDateTime)),"MMM")
I'm on Crystal standalone but should work equally in VS 2013

Crystal reports cross-tab month date function

I have a cross-tab table that I want to group each column by an specific month for each year. (ex. March 2011, March 2012, March 2013 and so on).
I'm guessing that a formula is needed to do this since there's no predefined functions in CR that can help me group dates like that.
Is this true?

MySQL populate empty date values

I am running some query's against our incident logging database for our individual customers. What I want to return is all the month names from 2012 and a count of how many open incidents there have been. This works fine for a customer who has been with us for over 12 months but not for a customer who has been with us for a shorter period of time.
The query I have is this:
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(createdtime/1000), '%Y') as 'Year',
DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(createdtime/1000), '%M') as 'Month',
count(wo.workorderid) as 'Total Logged'
FROM workorder_threaded wot
inner join workorder wo
on wo.workorderid = wot.workorderid
and wo.siteid = 4806
and DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(createdtime/1000), '%Y') <> '2011'
where wot.workorderid = wot.thd_woid
GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(createdtime/1000), '%Y%m')
The output I get is this:
Year Month Total Logged
2012 August 3
2012 September 356
2012 October 212
2012 November 120
I need however the following:
Year Month Total Logged
2012 January 0
2012 February 0
2012 March 0
2012 April 0
2012 May 0
2012 June 0
2012 July 0
2012 August 3
2012 September 356
2012 October 212
2012 November 120
2012 December 0
It doesn't have to be limited by year i.e. the call logging DB has data in this from 2011 so the query can be modified to filter the year range.
I know that this is not populating because the data does not exist and I have seen ways of creating a numbers \ date table and referencing this to populate the date but am struggling to do this. I have also changed around joins and where conditions to no avail.
Thanks in advance.
You need to use LEFT JOIN here
