Crystal Enterprise 10 Reports Explorer issues

[aricciardi]

Creating Reports in Crystal Enterprise 10 using the Crystal Reports Explorer seems to have much less functionality than using Crystal Professional 10. Is this by design or am I doing something wrong.

1) Summarizing a numeric field has 6 options, while there are 19 in Crystal Professional 10.

2) There are a lot of functions missing from the formulas, like percentile for example. Where are they?

3)Formatting a field only allowed four font options, is this a function of the server or of Crystal Enterprise?



Any information or documentation on these issues is helpful.

My opinion is it is by design. The Report Exporer was meant to give users an *ad hoc* way to design a quick report. The ability to throw together a quick report that is readable and has some basic formating. If you want the full power of report design then CR is always the better choice.
