Summary

Formulas provide additional flexibility and power in creating reports through the ability to create derived fields not directly stored in available data sources. Formulas also enable the creation of advanced conditional formatting and selection formulas in a report and its objects.

In this hour, we explored Crystal Report's formula capabilities and the different access points to these formulas. The new Formula Workshop provides a focal point for accessing the majority of your reporting formulas including SQL Expressions, Record and Group Selection formulas, Formatting formulas, and Custom Report and Repository formulas. The Formula Editor, Formula Expert, and Formula Extractor all provide different capabilities and facilitate the use of formulas in Crystal Reports to enable the creation of increasingly powerful and flexible Crystal Reports.
