i have a crystal report and there is a field in details section which currently showing for each row. what's the way to set this field to show only once on the very first row?
Right-click on the field in Report Designer, select Format Field..., click on the Common tab in the Format Editor dialog, click on the conditional suppression button (the box marked x-2 to the right of Suppress) and enter the formula RecordNumber > 1 . Click Save and close to exit the Suppress Format formula editor, then click OK to exit the Format Editor.

I'm using a Crystal Report connected with VB.NET 2010, here I using a Line object, which I need to show or hide depending on data field. Where do I need to set the formula?
This project I use is running with SQL 2008 and VB.NET 2010. I've tried some Formula Field for this topic. But the result is not look like that I want to show.
I use the following code on Formula Field:-
IF isNull({PrintParticularList.CUST_INVOICE_No}) or {PrintParticularList.CUST_INVOICE_No}=""
THEN
""
ELSE
"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
I also try this following Code :-
IF isNull({PrintParticularList.SLNO}) or {PrintParticularList.CUST_INVOICE_No}=""
THEN
Line25.Suppress=True
ELSE
Line25.Suppress=False
But here I got error on Line25.
A number, currency amount,boolean, date, time, date-time, or string is
expected here.
In the Report Designer use the Insert Line tool to draw the line where you want it to appear on your report. The right-click the line object and select "Format Line..." to open the Format Editor dialog box. On this window you will find a check box labeled "Suppress" with an X-2 button to the right. Click the X-2 button and this will open a Formula Workshop window where you will enter the formula that determines if this drawing object should be suppressed or not.
I would recommend the following formula based upon your previous attempts at creating one.
IF isNull({PrintParticularList.SLNO}) or {PrintParticularList.CUST_INVOICE_No}="" THEN
True
ELSE
False
-----EDIT-----
Since you don't have the X-2 button I have 2 more ideas.
1.) Take the 1 section you current have and split it into 3 sections. Then you could place all the content above the line in the first section, place the line in the second section, and the content below the line in the third section. They use the formula to suppress the second section when the line is not needed.
2.) Insert a blank text box in place of the line and set either the top or bottom border of the text box to a single line. Then use the suppress formula to determine if the text box should be shown or hidden.
I'm building a Crystal Report with Visual Studio 2015.
So I have a section like this:
Now, I can have section without parameter and If I try to start my report I have this situation:
Now I want change my report and if I don't have parameter for this section the Crystal Report not must to show this label "Parametro, Valore, U.m: Valori Riferimento" and line.
How can I do this?
You can create a new formula (e.g. countElement) with the following content:
Count ({table_name.column_name})
You can use this formula to suppress the header / header items. You have to enable the the suppress option on the properties of the header / header items and set the following formula:
{?countElement} < 1
To set the suppress option you have to right click on the item which you want to suppress (with condition) and choose Format Object. There you choose the Common tab and enable the option Suppress. On the right side you can open the Formula Workshop of the Suppress option. There you have to insert the condition ({?countElement} < 1) to hide the item.
Suppress field in Crystal Reports
In my report, I want to display a warning text object in the report header if a column value in any row contains a certain value.
"Warning, this report has problems"
How to I construct a suppression formula for the text object to accomplish this?
If there is some other way to hide/display it, that would be fine also.
How to I construct a suppression formula for the text object to accomplish this?
Right click the text object
Go to Common Tab
There is a Suppress checkbox to the right if it there is a button with a x2, click this button
In the formula editor write a formula that returns true if this "certain value" is in the row or false otherwise
Let's assume you are interested in the ocurrence of value "WarningValue" in the column "MyColumn" in the table "Result".
First, create a formula. Let's call it "MyFormula". It should be like this:
if not isnull({Result.MyColumn}) and {Result.MyColumn} = "WarningValue" then 1 else 0
Then put this formula in details session. You can suppress it.
Then click on the report header using the right button. In the context menu, select "insert section below". Put a text box with the message "Warning, this report has problems" inside this new section. Click in this section using the right button and select "section expert" in the context menu. Put the following formula in the "suppress" option:
sum({#MyFormula}) < 1
So if the report count at least 1 occurrence of the "WarningValue", it will not suppress that message.
Nick nailed it, but he left out one step.
Right-click the text object
Select "Format Text...", which opens the "Format Editor" dialog.
In the "Format Editor" dialog, go to Common Tab.
There is a Suppress checkbox. To the right [o]f it, there is a button with a x2. Click this button
In the formula editor, write a formula that returns true if this "certain value" is in the row, or false otherwise
I have a text and drawing on a Crystal Report which I would like to hide if the data field "IsVisible" is set to 1. Is there an easy way to do this?
You can either conditionally suppress the entire section that the fields/text/picture is on by going to 'Section Expert' -> select the section you want -> click the formula button next to 'Suppress (No Drill-Down)' and enter {field.IsVisible}<>1, or you can selectively only suppress the fields/text/pictures in question by right-clicking them -> 'Format Field' or 'Format Graphic' -> 'Common' tab -> enter the same suppression formula.

How to skip blank pages?
I want to skip blank pages or blank field?
Need Formula Help.
You can check the check box in the Section Expert that says "Suppress Blank Section" to suppress the entire section
To suppress a field you can right click on the field and click Format Field and press the formula button (x+2) next to the suppress check box on the common tab and then enter your formula to use as the suppression logic. To this simply put in a function that would return a boolean value where a returned value of true would suppress the field and false would show the field. Remember that you don't need to check the suppress check box if you have a formula entered. Hope this helps.
