I highly recommend Ken Hamady www.kenhamady.com. He is an expert in
Crystal Reports & familiar with museum data sets. He can probably travel
to your museum or use GoToMeeting to connect to your PC to help with
one-on-one report editing.

Somewhat related to this topic: can anyone recommend a good
course/program for learning about writing Crystal Reports?
Best,
Gabriela

Hi Jeri,
I use Minimum, Maximum and NthLargest when I know I have a limited
number of possibilities and want to change up the text between the
values:
SourceMin Formula:
Minimum{Constituent.DISPLAYNAME}, {Objects.SORTNUMBER})
SourceMid Formula:
NthLargest(2,{Constituent.DISPLAYNAME}, {Objects.SORTNUMBER}) The "2"
chooses the second occurrence
SourceMax Formula:
Maximum({Constituent.DISPLAYNAME}, {Objects.SORTNUMBER})
Print Source Formula:
If DistinctCount ({Constituent.CONSTITUENTID}, {Objects.SORTNUMBER}) = 1
then
{Constituent.DISPLAYNAME}
Else
If DistinctCount ({Constituent.CONSTITUENTID}, {Objects.SORTNUMBER}) = 2
then
{@Source<mailto:%7b@Source> Max} + " and " +
{@Source<mailto:%7b@Source> Min} Else If DistinctCount
({Constituent.CONSTITUENTID}, {Objects.SORTNUMBER}) = 3 then
{@Source<mailto:%7b@Source> Max} + " , " +
{@Source<mailto:%7b@Source> Mid} + " and " + {@Source<mailto:%7b@Source>
Min}
I group by Object SortNumber and place my final formula in the Group
Footer area.
Thanks,
Carole

Forgot to mention: you'll need to suppress group header and details, and
the group footer display formula is what you actually display (i.e. the
concatenated list of names).

Subject: Re: Crystal Reports - concatenating values Hi Jeri, Here's what
I use for a similar purpose:
In group header, use a formula (I call it "reset"):
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar x := "";
In details, use a formula (I call it "accumulate"):
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar x := x & {Constituents.DisplayName} & ", "; In group footer,
use a formula (I call it "display"):
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar x;
if length(x) > 2 then
left(x,len(x)-2);
and adjust the "-2" portion to whatever makes sense for your particular
formatting needs to lop off the final comma. Hope this helps, Ariana

Subject: Crystal Reports - concatenating values Hi All, To have all of
the co-curators of an exhibition, or multiple artists of an artwork,
appear in a Crystal Report as a single string:
Name, Name, Name
How would you do that?
Thanks!
