Topic: Can I manually edit specified group criteria? Posted: 27 Apr 2011 at 5:38am
Using Crystal 9.
I've created a report that is grouped in specified order and using a date field with criteria between two dates for each named group. For example, the group name "Year0405" is set between 6/1/2004 and 5/31/2005. The group name "Year0506" is set between 6/1/2005 and 5/31/2006. Etc.
However, I would like to be able to use the report's date parameters in the group name criteria, so it would be between {startdate} and {enddate}, just like I can do in a the record selection and formula field editors.
So I'm hoping that I can somehow manually edit the specified group name selection formula, but I can't seen to find where to do that.

not that I quite understand what you are after, but if you want something to occur, based on parameters, you would need to create a formula that would do as you desire.
If you want to create a formula that groups better than just using a field or 2, create the formula, and then where you would select a field for the grouping, change it to use your formula. Whatever is the last thing displayed by the formula is what CR will group on.
