Greetings,
I have a group of formulas that use on a specific report group. I have CR2008 12.1.6 (non enterprise)and my question is this:
Is there any way other than a word document listing to quickly import this set of formulas from one report to another. I have a list of 8 formulas that(most of them are Case statements) I will always need with this specific database but since im not the DBA I was wondering if there is a means to store them somehow.
This may be a silly question but I figured I would ask
Thanks in advance
 
the easiest way i think would be to have a report that just contained your formulas, and when you start a new report, just copy/paste them from the storage report into the new report.
 
You could always try a clipboard manager like OrangeNote:
That program can store any number of text strings for later retrieval, it is even searchable


or use Autohotkey to create a macro to paste your formulas via a hotkey that you would want. It is fairly easy to create simple macros that paste text and send key commands.


A simple strip down program that uses autohotkey to allow for simple text storage and pasting is called Texter. It uses a GUI to create the macros for pasting text and sending key strokes:
