Is it possible to have a report which has grouping on the underlying data but for which you can disable the grouping via a button or something on the report? Basically I want to have a "Summary Report" which is grouped, but then be able to view the detail beneath when required without having a separate report for it.
Put your data in the group headers and footers, then have the detailed data in the details section. In the details section, set a formula on the suppress to be based on a report parameter. Then when you want a detailed report, pass in the parameter as false and it won't suppress the details section. You can toggle the header and footer of the groups this way too.
You cannot get rid of a grouping, but if you wanted to have something similar, you could use a field that you populate to group by. If you want the grouping, you fill in this field with the data you need to group by, and if you want the detail, just leave that field set to blank and then suppress the group header and footer.

I have a subreport to filter the processing of specific products within a selected week set by the user. The subreport has 5 groups section and a detail section.
Specifically, the groups filter the data like this:
Group1: filters the starting date of the process
Group2: filters the products' group
Group3: filters the products' code
Group4: filters the products' number
Group5: filters the products' sub-number
I use group1 section for writing some simple text. In the detail section, I put some fields. Now when I have no record in the detail section, the sub-report prints the text of group1. For example, because in the day of the print there isn't any processing work.
How can I skip the page if the detail section has no records? (Or perhaps it is necessary to suppress the group1?)
Try to right click on the section, go to section expert, and check suppress blank section. This should hide the section if there are no values for that particular day
You should try supressing the group 1 if the details section is null. I'm not sure that you can actually skip a page.
If you are wondering how to know if the details section is null, maybe using a shared variable inside that section, which will count how many records will be inside the details section, to be used in the supression formula for the group 1.
I am developing software with c# and I create crystal report that get data from datagridview and show it

I want to supress the blank field and my report designer
thank you so much for reading and answering ..
this is how look my report designer .
and i have two diffrent type of report look like this
and the other .
Put you ExParameter into separate section (you can have multiple sections from same logical part of report) and use suppress condition for entire section (or just check 'suppress blank section' in section expert).
In addition, you should group by Analyse and put Analyse value into group header - this way you won't duplicate this part of report either.
Right click on this field, click on Format Field, click on Common tab and then Check the Suppress If Duplicate
I have a report that has 3 columns and it is grouped by a value that i display in the group header. The report is setup to run down then across.
If the details span across multiple columns, how do I repeat that group header on the next column.
I have already checked "repeat group header on each page" in the group expert.
I have already checked "format groups with multiple column" in the Layout tab of the details section.
It will not let me insert a text object in the group header of each column.
Not sure how to do this. I could write a formula to only show at the top of each column, but not sure if there is a function to find out when the second column has started.
edit
What i want is below
Group Header Text Group Header Text Group Header Text
Detail Values Detail Values Detail Values
Detail Values Detail Values Detail Values
I would like to have the Group Header Text show at the top of each column. Doesn't matter if its the start of a new group or in the middle of the group.
thanks.
okay, I have your solution, the field, that you are grouping by , just place it on to the page header and it will repeat itself on every page until the columns of that group are finished.
Lets say you are grouping by Employee Names, just put the Employee Name field on to the page header and it should solve the issue, I jsut tried it and it worked, thanks.
There is Previous() function available in formulas that allows to show-hide a Text Object based on the change of specific field value from previous to current record.
Is this what are you looking for? Can you edit you question drawing a sample af what you have and what you want?
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.
What is the use of suppress in Crystal Reports?
Is it possible to delete a section (page footer) in crystal report?
If yes, then what is the difference between Suppress and Delete?
Surpressing can be used in formulas, to allow the developer to surpress a section if a certain citeria is met. Or you can surpress the detail of the report if you wish to show a summary report.
You can surpress the page footer.
You can hide or suppress any section that you want. Hide allows for drill-down. Suppressing a section hides it and prevents drill-down.
Bare minimum, you need a report header, page header, details, page footer, and report footer sections. These can not be deleted.
You can additional sections of a given type by right-clicking the desired section and choosing 'Insert section below'. The name of the section will append a letter, starting at 'A' to the name to indicate multiple sections of the same type. If there are more than one section of a given type, then all but the last of these can be deleted.
Adding grouping adds a corresponding group header and footer sections. These behave the same way that I've discussed. Groups can be deleted.
Suppress leaves the section in the report. In addition, if you have formulas in that section that are set to execute WhilePrintingRecords, they will run, though they won't display results.
Delete a section means removing it from the report. Suppress a report means hide the section when viewing or printing the report. This is important when you want to only hide a section under some conditions.
