I am using Crystal Reports with VS-2005.
I have a report with a report footer section comprising of sum totals of a column. The problem is that in some cases, the records consume the entire page and the report footer alone appears on the next page. It looks awkward. I want the report footer to appear just below the last record row ended.
Is there any trick to make the report footer section fit on the last page itself?
If you aren't using grouping, try this:
Add an additional section below your last detail section.
In Section Expert, mark the detail section Keep Together.
For the suppress formula for the new section, specify Not OnLastRecord.
Move the content from the report footer to the new detail section.
If you are using grouping, do this in the last group footer instead, and in Group Expert, mark the group Keep Group Together.

I have a requirement in crystal report, where we have to show details section and report header together, so data will be displayed in a same row and according to the input the detail section can also grow in both direction row wise and column wise. Please use the sample picture for reference.
Is there any way to keep them together like in HTML where we can divide any table into one or more columns?
Any kind of information would be appreciated. Thank you.
In crystal it is not possible to add detail section in report header part..
How ever you can split detail section to multiple layout!!
1 - Right click report body then select Section Expert.
2 - Select multiple column.
3 - Then on layout you can provide detail size and gap detail.
Also you can insert multiple detail section and can swap inside the detail section. but not in report header part
It is possible for this purpose you need to use sub reports.
create a sub report and place in header section. Now limit the width of the sub report to the extent you need.
In sub report place the fields in details and supress rest all sections.
Now you can see header and details in report header..
Can you share along with sub report what you want to view in header?
You can use sub-report or setting up the section expert option.
Go to section expert
step 1: Suppress page header
step 2: At report header mark Underlay Following Section
Section Expert
I want to display a footer note at the end of each record. Most records only span one page so the footer displays at the end of the page. Although some records span two pages (because of a lot of data) and the footer display on both pages.
What I want is to only have the footer display on the last page if the record spans two pages.
I've placed my information in the page footer but can't figure out how to make it appear on the last page of each record.
Any ideas?
Thanks
You can achieve it in two ways.
Use grouping if each record has a unique column. Insert a Group for that unique column. You can use Group Expert to achieve that. Hide/suppress the Group Header Section and put your footer information in the Group Footer Section.
If grouping is not achievable then you can sub-section your Details Section. To achieve that Right click on your Details section and select Insert Section Below. A new sub-section under details will be created. Writer your footer information in this sub-section. If there are multiple sub-section of Details Section then this footer sub-section must be the last sub-section.
To move your sub-sections / groups up and down you can use options available in Section Expert
I m generating Bill report using crystal report in VS2008..in that, details section size is dynamic.
i.e. depend on number of records, it changes. so if I've 10 records the report view is full page that is k ..but if i have 2 records in details sections, then whole page footer section getting stick to details page..so whole alignment is getting change
so is there any way to set details section fixed i.e. for 10 records and if records exceed more, then all records on same page and remaining data will go on next page i.e report footer,page footer.
Is there any setting in crystal report
Ok, i can give you some tips on how you can approach your desired outcome.
The Crystal Reports engine has the following characteristics.
The Report Header appears on the top side of the first page only.
The Page Header appears on the top side of every page (on the first page it is under the Report Header).
The Report Footer appears only once, on the bottom side of the detail section on the last page.
The Page Footer appears on the bottom side of every page.
There is a capability in every section that allows you to suppress it if you don't need it. It can be done by right clicking the bar of the section that you want to suppress and pressing the suppress choice from the menu that will appear.
Consider the 2 following cases.
If you want to achieve the first case, change the height of the Page Footer to a value that will allow only 10 records to show on the Details section, include all the footer information in the Page Footer and suppress the Report Footer. If you want the same result but with the footer information appearing only on the last page, right click the bar of the Page Footer and select Section Expert. From there, press the x+2 sign next to the Suppress CheckBox and add the following code there.
if pagenumber <> totalpagecount then
true
else
false
If you want to achieve the second case, change the height of the Page Footer to a value which will allow only 10 records to show on the Details section and include all the footer information in the Report Footer section.
In both cases the Report Header is suppressed.
Go to Section Expert
select report footer
Tick the Print at bottom page and Keep together option
Problem will be solved
First of all fix height detail section by right click on detail section Detail Section->Section Expert click on paging Tab->Check in New Page Before checkbox and beside it (x+2)button write formula-> (Suppose you want 8 rows to display in your report per page and additional rows(9th row,10th row and so on... to another page) IF Remainder (RecordNumber, 9) = 0 THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE so now your height is fixed.. and for blank rows suppose 2 records/rows are coming from data table/data source then from 8 fixed rows , 6 rows should be blank rows for that.. design your detail section with fields and keep report footer(section 4) blank with with some spaces(i want 8 rows fixed so keep size of 8 rows blank assuming in report footer) and put footer details in your section 5(page footer)..
if your header or footer is not visible on another page then put all header parts details in page header and footer details in page footer

I am creating invoices with JasperReports.
I have a Detail section that has the list of all items followed by a column footer which has Totals, Tax etc., and then the return policy in the Summary section.
I want to always ensure that the Detail is followed by Column footer followed by Summary bands. How can we ensure this? I found that sometimes the Summary comes before the Column footer.
Can someone throw some light on this?
There really is not much of a solution to this at the moment as it seems to be by-design and not a bug (personally I think they should have an option for this). Your options at the moment though are:
Create a Report Group (this is essentially a dummy report group,
doesn't really matter). Move your Column Footer contents into the
Group Footer band, and leave your Summary in the Summary band.
This seemed to work in my limited tests, and I would try it first.
Set Float Column Footer and Summary on new Page to true under the
main report properties. This has the unfortunate side effect that the
summary will always be printed on a second page regardless if
everything could fit on one.
Set Float Column Footer to true and move your Summary section to
the Last Page Footer band. This means it will only be printed once,
but the content will be oriented towards the bottom of the last page.
Edit: For the shed some light on this part of the question. It is by design. The Column Footer is seen/treated as essentially a specialized Page footer. So body content (detail band, summary band, etc.) are placed on the page above it always. The only time it does not seem to happen is when the summary is printed on a new page, after the last Column Footer has been printed. So it is by design.
I've been looking for answers to this silly formatting question for hours, and I think I might have found a useable solution:
move your Column Footer content to the Page Footer and,
create a Last Page Footer but set its width to 1 pixel with no content inside
This allowed me to have some borders/subtotals at the bottom of every column, whilst ignoring the footer-before-summary/total-before-subtotal problem on the last page because the Last Page Footer overwrites the Page Footer (summary) content.
Add a last page Footer , in that add the content of your column footer after that increase band width and add the summary content into that(last page footer) and remove the content from the summary band.
I have a master-detail tables, I need to sum a value in master table only but the sum appear duplicated by the numbers of rows in the detail table !!!
It looks like you placed the summary/formula field within the Details section.
If the summary field is a group summary, move it to either the Group Header or Group Footer sections. If the summary field is a report summary, move it to either the Report Header or Report Footer sections.
