As the post says,
There is a formula in the "format graphic" dialog where you can set the image path. So you could use a discrete parameter or a datafield to set the value.
But I could not find the same in Crystal Reports 9. So how can I assign image path in Crystal Reports 9 ?
Can you get your hands on a copy of XI or later?
If there are just a few possible images, you cam insert them all and conditionally display them. There might be other solutions, depending on what database you're using, and whether you're using Crystal with .NET/Visual Studio or on its own.

I am trying to get crystal to print the details field from Left to Right to an excel spreadsheet output, rather than from the top of the page to the bottom. Setting the details section to 'Format with Columns' and using the layout option of 'Across then Down' doesn't seem to acheive the effect I am looking for. I want to create a given number of columns to the right based on user input passed into Crystal parameters, but I can't seem to find anything within crystal reports that will allow this.
Is it possible that I'm missing something simple, or does Crystal Reports lack the functionality to accomplish columns/rows being generated from left to right rather than up to down?
Thanks in advance for any help!
No such functionality in Crystal alone but you can take control of the Excel output logic using a UFL (User Function Library) allowing a detail-level Crystal formula to write to a specified Excel cell. As the formula progresses through the detail rows, it would increment column/row targets based on the Columns parameter.
You can create the UFL yourself. Alternatively, at least one of the 3rd-party UFLs listed here provides such a function.
Thanks in advance for any help,
I have a Crystal Report made in Crystal Reports 2011. The report does a simple select from a view and uses about 6 of the columns.
In 2 consecutive sections there is a Cross Tab and a Pie chart, both reporting on the same formula field. The formula for the field is as follows:
iif( IsNull({IROView.OVERTURNREASON})=false, {OVERTURNREASON},"")
Basically, if my value is not null, I get the value, and if it is, I get an empty string.
In the Cross Tab, under the Customize Style tab, there is a Suppress Empty Rows and Suppress Empty Columns check box. I am looking for something similar for the pie chart because even though there is no slice for the empty string, the legend has a an entry for the blank string with the value 0 (or 0%).
Thanks again,
You may want to consider updating the charting engine to use the latest version of CRChart. Three-D Graphics wrote the original component for SAP (nee BusinessObjects nee Crystal Decisions nee Seagate Software); they own the source code. The #HIDE_ZERO macro would probably do exactly what you need to have done.
i wrote a program in C# win form. i have used crystal report. I want to set Crystal Reports Multiple Columns from Right-to-Left.
The following image.
Use cross-tab for this. you just assign left to right
For this use this link.

set a single column direction:
Right Click on IFieldObject (column) in section3(details): select "Format Object". Then you know what to do.
Good Luck!
I would like to achieve the following,
I need to generate report for multiple companies in a common format. I need to do it in a single report. The only issue exist with report header images. In the header of the report, I need to display the company header. So for Company1, I will dispaly Image1. For Company2, I will display Image2 etc. What is the best methode to achieve this. Putting N number of image control and set visibility is a right choice ?
You can dynamically insert an image by its file path like this:
how to insert dynamic images in crystal reports.
Alternatively, you could do it the way you suggest by adding n different images and dynamically suppress them based on values in the report. Doing it this way will require you stack the images, each with its own suppression formula which isn't as clean of a solution in my opinion. It'll also cause the report file size to be larger if that matters to you at all.
I'm getting an integer value as 2345 but I want to display it as 234.5
is it possible??
To get what you are looking for in a simple fix is like what kingpin stated above. Divide the value by ten. To do this just create a new formula in crystal by going into your field explorer and right clicking on the formula fields section. Under there should be a option to create a new formula. Then in window that comes up put the field you want to manipulate in the formula and then divide that by ten. And there you go. Now use the formula field in the report instead of the original field.
Here is a example of how it could look.
{Table_Foo.value_Bar} / 10
There is a field property for it. Don't have access to crystal reports at the moment, but I know it's there:
Crystal Report Provides an easy to use default thousand separator for numeric Fields. You can use it by checking Thousand Separator from Field Properties.
If you need a customized separator, check Customized Thousand Separator in Crystal Report.
You also might want to find some tutorials on the Crystal Reports themselves if you still have trouble.
