Crystal Report with multiple tabs or pages

[aposullivan]

Hi there,
I was just wondering if anyone here knows if it is possible to have one Crystal Report that contains multiple pages or tabs. I know you can do this in Webi, i.e. a Report can contain multiple pages.
How would you do the same thing in Crystal Reports XI?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Unfortunately you can't have crystal reports with more than one page or tab.
You can create packages of crystal reports though in BO XI R2 where you can run a group of reports together and these act a bit like multitab BO reports.
Cheers,

yeah...that's what I thought would be the case.

Thanks for your reply.

BatCat,

In your post above you mention

"You can create packages of crystal reports though in BO XI R2 where you can run a group of reports together and these act a bit like multitab BO reports."

Can you expand on this? I am curious how you can create a package report in order for it to appear as mulitple tabs in BO. We are looking for a solution that will allow users to export a Crystal Report to Excel and have the output appear on multiple worksheets within Excel. Would "packaging" the Crystal Reports allow for this functionality?

I've been reading up on some third party software if you want to go that route. I haven't used it yet, but my understanding is that the end result is that it installs some new formulas in developer, and the end result of the development effort is a .exe that runs all of the individual reports and then puts them together.

Again, I have not used it or am an advocate of it, but if you want to check it out:

Actually, the link above is slightly wrong. The correct tool for exporting a Crystal report to multiple tabs inside a single excel workbook is "Visual CUT" rather than "CUT". The link is:
