    Why can't I group using this formula field?

    Sorry. I may have missed one of the formulas. I was trying to include them all. Thanks for your comments. I guess this is beyond my level of experience.

    Why can't I group using this formula field?

    Hi. I feel like I've asked a similar question before, but here goes. I am on version 9. I am trying to group my report by the @Percent Variance formula and the formula is not available as a group. I am trying to group it because I actually want to sort by it, and I can't because I have another...

    Extract last name from name field

    Hi. Both formulas worked, but Nameparts was better as I discovered I had some records with multiple spaces in that field. I was able to use the following formula: Local StringVar array Nameparts := Split({st_code55.description}); if {st_code55.description} startswith ["CTS", "PT", "OT"] then...

    Extract last name from name field

    Hi. I have v9. I have a name field that is laid out as "FirstName LastName". I do not have two different fields for the first and last name. They are in the same field. Is there a way to create a formula that only displays the LastName? The LastName will always be after the space. Thanks! Sky

    Red line certain records

    Hi. I am on version 9. Can I write a formula to put a red line through records that meet certain criteria? I only want the line to be red. I want the text to be black. I know I can make both the text and line red or both black by doing a font formula for strikeout. And I know I can put a red...

    Highlighting Expert Locks up Crystal

    Hi. I have Crystal Reports Designer version 9. It seems, lately, when I select a field on my report, right click and select Highlighting Expert, my Crystal app locks up. I have to ctrl-alt-delete - end task to get it to close. Any thoughts or experience with this? This seems to be the only...

    Group/Sort on Formula Field Containing Sums - continued

    No, I don't really have anyone accessible that can create this view. I will either manipulate the data in the database or dump the data in Excel and sort it there and publish the Excel report. Thanks for your help though. I appreciate your trying. Skystar

    Group/Sort on Formula Field Containing Sums - continued

    Did I just mess up the "Group/Sort on Formula Field Containing Sums" thread by posting the SQL Query? I don't see the section to respond to the posting any longer? If so, this is a continuation of the thread. Lbass, did you get the SQL Query that I posted? Skystar

    Group/Sort on Formula Field Containing Sums

    The formula is not available for inserting a summary. The formula is the summed project total already. If I could just sort on this formula field, life would be grand. So far, I have been doing all of my sorts for this report by inserting groups, but these have been on single database fields. I...

    Summary for Part of a Secondary Group - Placed in Report Footer

    Lbass, never mind. This worked! I figured out that there were more fields I needed to replace with my own and also there was a slight type in the first formula. Here is what I ended up with for the first formula: //{@accum} to be placed in the Group #2 footer: whileprintingrecords; numbervar...

    Pie Chart - Unable to select a formula in expert

    Ah, that's Bestbegood. Unfortunately, the application I'm running only supports version 9. Sounds like I'm stuck. I'm playing with creating a special formula in a slightly different manner than the original and only using this formula for the chart if possible. We'll see....Thanks!
