Crystal Reports 2011 and Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2010, service pack 4
I have a very simple table where each row represents a measurement M with a timestamp T, a value V, and the number of decimals to display D
For example, my table has:
| M | T | V | D |
|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | T1 | V1 | 1 |
| M1 | T2 | V2 | 1 |
| M2 | T1 | V3 | 3 |
| M2 | T2 | V4 | 3 |
My rows are the measurements, grouped by M, my colums are the timestamp T, my summarized field is Max of V1 so my crosstab looks like
| Measurement\Timestamp | T1 | T2 |
| M1 | V1.nn | V2.nn |
| M2 | V3.nn | V4.nn |
What I want is for V1 and V2 to be displayed as a number with one place past the decimal showing, e.g. V1.n and V2.n and for V3 and V4 I want three places after the decimal to be displayed, e.g. V3.nnn and V4.nnn:
| Measurement\Timestamp | T1 | T2 |
| M1 | V1.n | V2.n |
| M2 | V3.nnn | V4.nnn |
I know I can do this with a formula on the V's, but the problem with that is when I export to Excel the cells contain strings. I want them to be numbers.
Is there any way I can tell the cross-tab for format these things by row? I used the Format Field, Customized Number, then created a formula for the Decimals places, but it does not change based on the row.
