    Sorting Records before a group

    I am using Crystal 8.5 to report from a Pivotal database. I am grouping my report by COMPANY.companyid but want to see the records in alphabetical order of company name, not ascending order of company id. Is this possible? Thanks Janice

    Using the LIKE operator

    That has worked. Thank you very much. Didn't realise was case sensitive but am aware of performance issues - no way around though unfortunately. Thanks for your help.

    Using the LIKE operator

    Are there any known restrictions/problems with the LIKE operator? I have a very simple selection formula: {CONTACT.JOBTITLE} like "*director*" which is returning 0 records. I have also tried: {CONTACT.JOBTITLE} like "*" + "director" + "*" which also...

    Adding sub and Grand totals for formula field

    Thanks for your reply. Here is the formula: ({Reporting_Product_Needs.Total Contract Value to Break}*{@CommRate})/100 where @CommRate is: if GroupName ({Reporting_Product_Needs.Sale Type})= "New Sale" then 1.25 else 0.5 It is in the Detail section. Hope this helps.

    Adding sub and Grand totals for formula field
