Hi All,

I am fairly new to Crystal, so still trying to learn. i am creating a report where i am able to get some good results, but now i am getting duplicates. Please see sample results:


0000018573 15 01 12/31/9999 1415 01FNR GARY JAMES
0000018573 15 01 12/31/9999 1415 01FNA GARY JAMES
0000018573 15 01 12/31/9999 1415 01FBE GARY JAMES
0000018574 15 01 12/31/9999 1415 01FNA Tom Smit
0000018574 15 01 12/31/9999 1415 01FNR Tom Smit
0000018574 15 01 12/31/9999 1415 01FBE Tom Smit

Notice there are 3 records for James. This is b/c he has 01FNR, 01FNA, and 01FBE. My question is, how to i display only the top record OF EACH INDIVIDUAL in the report(if he/she has duplicates)? I tried Group Expert on ID(0000018573) then Section Expert and 'hide' Drill Down, but that only give me his ID(0000018573) on the report; i 15,01,12/31/999, 1415, and GARY JAMES on the report as well.
 
End result of above example should look like this:
 
0000018573 15 01 12/31/9999 1415 01FNR GARY JAMES
0000018574 15 01 12/31/9999 1415 01FNA Tom Smit


Thankyou.
Joe

you can group by first column (or other column except date and 6th column).
and put all other fields in group section as well.
 
here is the result that I got.
before grouped:
18573   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FNR   GARRY JAMES
18573   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FNA   GARRY JAMES
18573   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FBE   GARRY JAMES
18574   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FNA   TOM SMIT
18574   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FNR   TOM SMIT
18574   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FBE   TOM SMIT

after grouped by first column:
18573.00
18573   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FNR   GARRY JAMES
18573   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FNA   GARRY JAMES
18573   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FBE   GARRY JAMES

18574.00
18574   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FNA   TOM SMIT
18574   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FNR   TOM SMIT
18574   15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FBE   TOM SMIT

modify the layout by moving other fields:
18573.00  15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FNR   GARRY JAMES
18573  
18573  
18573  

18574.00  15   1   31/12/9999 00:00:00   1415   01FNA   TOM SMIT
18574  
18574  
18574  
then delete the field in detail section (or you can hide it).

hope it help.

omg! that was so simple! i did not know you can 'move' the other fields up after you group one field.  Thank you so much!
