     Posted: 29 Oct 2009 at 10:53pm
Hi
I am converting few of the actuate 7 reports to Crystal XI.
 
In actuate we will be able to modify the select statement based on the parameter. How do I do the same in Crystal reports ?
I am a beginner in using Crystal reports.
 
I have atleast 20 columns in a select  statement, where some of the column derivation changes based on the parameter. Infact I got to add few tables with left joins. This is level of complexity.
I am aware of the record selection formulas and group selection , but I have no idea to change the select statement itself ?
Is there any way I can access the selectstatement during runtime and change the same dynamically ?
 
Thanks in advance for your help..

my best guess as to how to accomplish this is to create a stored proc and pass in the parameters then have the stored proc dynamically change the contents of the columns (they always need t be named the same or else you can't create a CR).

Hi lockwelle,
 
Thanks for your reply. I was wondering if there could be some work around for dynamic select change. Now you helped to clearly understand that this feature is still not in Crystal reports XI...
I will take the SP way to achieve this and thanks a lot for your guidance.
Hope crystal report is considering this feature in their next release...
