Creating tables in Crystal

[terenceb]

Hi ALL,

I am writing in Crystal 8.5 pulling data from SQL tables on Cashe database.

Today I need to recreate a form originally created in Excel. I have attempted to copy and paste text and tables from excel. These goes pretty well until i try to insert a text box into the cell. I also need to conditional color te box. Is there a way to create a table in Crystal?

A table is a pretty generic statement, I'll assume what you mean is a grid which has rows and columns.

Tables are generally associated with a data source.

The standard means to get a grid type of an appearance, and pivot and summarize data is a Cross-tab.

As for conditionally formatting a field/formula, right click it and select Format Field->Font->X 2 next to color and add your criteria.

Rather than describing the functions you intend to use, try providing example data and expected output so as not to box in the type of solutions possible.
