Can everyone tell me hwo to use for the query which has a lots of duplicate data output in Crystal Report?

For DISTINCT, I tried to use it, it works with the number and date, but it doesn't work when there is a filed of "note" or "text" or "description" with a long text.

Is there another way to check the DISTINCT data in a SQL query

are you only looking at those fields?  Certain SQL datatypes like Text & Memo are basically pointers to where the data is held, and so all are 'distinct'.  A different method is used to access the text inside of them. I don't recall it offhand, but it is a start.
 
I'm not sure if SQL accessess them the same way, but I recall that CR has issues with them.
 
Sorry can't be of more help.
