I created a Windows Form Application using C# that have a few Crystal Reports. Whenever I try to export the crystal report in Excel using the Crystal Report Export build in button, the excel formatting output is completely different. My Subtotal and Grand Total does not align with the corresponding column. Any idea what I can do to fix it or is it a flaw in crystal report exporting coding?
When exporting to excel, there are several reasons that can cause formatting issue. For example, If you go to Export options Using the column width of Header 1 may give you better formatting that the whole page. The best way to avoid formatting problems when exporting to excel is designing your report around the fact that it will be exported to excel. That means try to keep the fields in every section aligned. so if you have two .5 in fields in one section. and you have another field in the section below it. Make that field .5 or 1 in and align it with the fields above it. Also make sure all the sections are fitted by right clicking a section and click fit to section. If your still getting unwanted black rows when exporting,
1.)Right click section 2.)click arrange lines 3.)right click section 4.)click fitSection
you should have provided the screenshot of your report.... but will try to answer to the extent I understand.
This is not a flaw in crystal report...normally detail fields have extra columns compared to grand totals or group summaries so the wayout would be to insert dummy text fields before the sub totals and grand totals so that those are alligned correctly.
If this is not your requirement post a screenshot of how the report looks like and how do you need the output

My Crystal report file contains data and one chart. When i am trying to export PDF from C# code, It does not export Chart. Showing Blank page for Chart.
I am using following code.
cryRpt.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
It seems similar with "Exportable" property, that all objects contain in FastReport.Net. Is there the same property in Crystal may be?
C# Crystal Report problem and chart?
It might be worth checking some of the previous answers provided on this question, that sounds to be fairly similar to your issue.
I'm having some problems with a RDLC report in a WinForms application. I created a report with header, footer and a simple tablix with column headers and a details group where I have a list of data. The data gets imported via code, not via a dataset.
But I have two problems:
When the details group becomes to large it doesn't continue on a second page when needed.
My page footer doesn't show when the details group expands past the regular body. It might be that the two problems are related. But I just can't figure it out.
Below you can find screenshot of the designer.
If there is need for more information please let me know.
I am just wondering if I can have a pdf document as a format for crystal report
situation
I have a form in a pdf format where I must fill up the blanks and I wanted my program will fill the form using crystal report because eventually i have to print the particular form
reason
the form has so many data and questions to imitate
A potential way to accomplish your end result (PDF populated with data, printed to paper) would be to:
export the PDF as an image (there are several printer drivers that can do this)
import the image into the Crystal Report - note this is really only a temporary step to help with layout
Arrange your data fields over the blanks in your form
For better print output quality, I recommend removing the image from the report at this point, and printing to each page twice (first for the PDF template, then over top of that with the Crystal Report data, which is now happily arranged exactly where the blank spots are on your page).
I have added an RDLC Report in my .Net Application.
Data generates in reports with Proper design.
But when I tried to export it into Excel, I get some columns Merged in more than one Cells...
How can I prevent Columns into merging cells ??
To avoid merged cells in exported SSRS reports, you need to verify that cell alignment is Excel-friendly. This usually can be fixed by making sure that headers and footers are aligned with the columns in the details area. The right side of a header, footer, or other object should align with the right side of the report columns, same goes for the left.
If you still experience issues, this MSDN blog post includes some additional workarounds.
We are using MS Report Viewer for exporting Reports to Excel, now we have a problem when trying to sort data, its reporting error that there are merged cells and it can't be sorted. So is there a way to disable cell merging when exporting to excel?
Thanks in advance.
To my knowledge there is no way to turn this off. However, I only notice it being a problem when I use page headers or page footers. This is why often times I'll make page headers and footers optional in my reports to avoid the Excel merge cell issue.
