Repeat "Detail a" section when using "Format with Multiple Columns" layout

[Former Member]

I am using Crystal Reports for .NET (VS 2008) and I would like to get the "Detail a" section to repeat at top of a second column containing additional data in "Detail b" section. Please see below for example, specifically "Detail a (2)". Any tips or help much appreciated.

Detail a (1)_____Detail a (2)

Detail b (1-1)___Detail b (2-3)

Detail b (1-2)___Detail b (2-4)

--Detail b (1-3)___Detail a (3)

Detail a (2)______--Detail b (3-1)

--Detail b (2-1)

--Detail b (2-2)

Thx, Scott

the format with multiple columns i dont believe will show you the value 2x, but allows you to display the values across instead of down.

i think you may want to use a sub report

You may also want to try out making your report hierarchical - Report menu - Hierarchical groups. This allows you to build parent-child relationships...
