    Group Summaries with Zero Records?

    We have a report grouped and summarized by date. Detail is supressed, footer with Running Totals is displayed. The way Crystal Reports works, when no records come in for a particular date then no summary is printed for that date. The boss wants to see ALL dates, regardless of whether there...

    Running Total is incorrect

    This should be a simple Crystal Reports 101 task but it's not working for me. This is a simple report that uses an Excel file as it's source and does not use grouping. There is a number column and I want a sum at the bottom. Right now there's a simple running total that sums the column for...

    Value Increases on Refresh

    Formula Chart Conundrum

    All: I have a report grouped by a date field, grouping by date. On each section footer is a formula that calculates a value based on a running total and another formula. The boss wants a line chart that shows the value of this formula field for each day. Now, I understand that charts can't...
