new page break is not working when exporting from Crystal report 9 using visual studio studio.net.
I have set the below options in crystal report 9 design
paper size is a3 and orientation is landscape.
I have created 2 report groups (date and org unit)
I want a page break after every new date and after every new org unit.
I have already set the new page after in group footer1 and group footer 2.
when i export to excel it doesn't break the page after each group is changed.
Can anybody help me to resolve this issue.
thanks

I said this in another question regarding exporting to Excel:
If this was made with CR, I've found
that if a report is going to
consistently be exported to Excel,
it's best to remove ALL formatting
that CR has/does. Otherwise you'll get
weird anomalies like what you're
experiencing and will save you a lot
of grief down the road.
What I've done for some of my users is
create one report with no formatting,
specifically for exporting, and one
report with all the bells and whistles
of CR.
Page breaks are not understood by Excel during the export. The best bet is to do a grouping on the report and render them as tabs in the Excel document.
Crystal has a long history of problems when exporting to excel. There are quite a few tips about on how to get both good looking reports on the screen and in an Excel worksheet. There is no one answer for your problem, as it really depends on just how your report is structured. I googled on "crystal reports page break excel export" and get plenty of material to look at. For example:

I have SAP Crystal Reports 2011 and use it to edit reports we use with JobBOSS ERP system. These reports were all put in place before I started here and am just now learning Crystal Reports. I am trying to edit the reports but am having issues.
So when I open the report in Crystal Reports the Field Explorer is showing that the file being used to pull fields into the reports is a TTX file. I know nothing about TTX files and assumed I could just find the data in my tables and import it in but apparently that wont mix well from what I am understanding. I have no clue what to do with the TTX and being able to populate the fields on the page with data from another table.
Where do I start with this? All of my forms use the TTX to pull data. Does anyone have any resources that can help me with this?
To change this report, you must use the report version in the JobBoss production report folder (.rpt). Save the .rpt to a work area. Make changes and then place back in the folder retrieved from. You can add tables to this kind of report but cannot change the .ttx table. The report must be run from within Jobboss. Save the original .rpt to a save folder first. Call with questions.
I am using SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 for reporting. When we export the report to Excel, the footer image or textbox is not exported. Header image is getting exported successfully.
Does anybody know a solution for this?
Jon is correct they are exported but on opening the file you wont automatically see them as they are not displayed in "Normal" view, in 2007 switch to "Page Layout" view. not sure what its called in other versions of excel.
Note: You also might want to read this as it relates to the use of Headers/Footers in RDLC and exporting them to Excel.
Footers in Reporting Services are exported in Excel.
To see them, you need to click View -> Headers and Footers (in Excel)
I am using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 in an ASP.NET 4.0 web forms application. I have set the report to export in ExcelDataOnly. The report in the builder runs properly and returns thousands of rows. When I export it to Excel I am only getting 145 rows! Does anyone have any idea why this might be? I have no null values in any columns so it is not that. I am setting my content type to application/vnd.ms-excel and I think this is correct, so I am at a loss!!!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Turns out the issue was saved data in the report. No matter what I did I could only get the exact same 145 rows. In the end, I recreated the report and now it works perfectly. I have no idea why the data was trapped in that state, but since recreating fixed it, it is fixed.
There is a possibility that you have checked/ selected the option of saving the data with the report. You can go to File--> Below Save AS is the option of selecting the Data to be saved with the Report. Pls uncheck the option and see if it helps.

I have multiple Crystal Reports rpt files and I need to create only one file from them. The file might be any type of rpt, pdf, doc, excel etc.
My problem is that the report files contain subreports and creating a new report and adding them as subreports doesn't seem to work correctly, not showing the data from subreports in subreports.
I know that CR doesn't support subreports in subreports but I need to find a workaround to create only one file from the reports that I have.
Please help !
Not a problem.
Step 1: Export all your Crystal Reports to PDF.
Step 2: Use a freeware PDF merger to merge them all together.
I made a quick google search and found http://www.pdfsam.org/. According to the FAQ, they also have a command-line version (if you need to automate this process, that's the way to go).
Probably the biggest problem you'll have is making all these separate PDFs look like a single document. You might have to get creative with things like page numbers.
You should be able to create one report that contains all of the subreports. If there is no link (join) between the data, it should still work. If there is one (or more) between them, that should be possible too.
I had a couple of reports which were working properly in crystal version report 9. While exporting the data to excel, it was working properly. But after upgrading to version 10, when we try to export to excel with data only option, the report header is not formating properly. The Report header has 3 rows, but wen I export it to excel(data only), it displays all in same line in version 10 and in different lines in version 9.
if I put it in different report header sections, issue is solved but there are many reports which makes it very difficult to make that change at all places. is there any other solution for this.
Can anybody help me with this.
Any help in this regard is welcome.
Thanks in Advance
Every version of Crystal Reports "tricks up" the Excel export settings and the formatting results they produce. Your only hope is to look at all the Excel output settings and find a way to recreate your expected output. There is a chance getting the EXACT output is not possible in the new version.
Note, your topic has nothing to do with Reporting Services and should not be tagged that way.
