How to create Table in Crystal Report

Question

Create Table in Crystal Report

I am newbie to Crystal Report, and i am using Crystal Report 2008. I want to know, do we have table object in Crystal Report.. so that i can draw a table with specific rows and columns, and drag and drop the items to each and every table cell as per the requirement.

The problem i am facing without using table object is that, i have to align each and every element either it is text field or database field from the field explorer, so that it looks like a table and it is too much time taking.

If it can be done in Higher versions of Crystal Reports, then please give details.

Answer 1

you have to draw tables mannually in CR, using the line and box items from the designer,

alignment is also available, you can use gridlines and alignment options of crystal reports, its not hard at all..

Answer 2

Goto Insert - Ole Object - Microsoft Office Excel It will add a excel file in your report. By dragging vertical reduce the excel object to one row and and horizontally to your required no. of Columns.

That will create a table with one row and many columns and can grow automatically in Detail section.
