    Posted: 23 Jul 2008 at 8:17am
I very new to Crystal Reports and I'm trying to figure how to do some different things.  So far I feel like I've been able to figure out a lot on my own and using the help function.
 
However, I'm having issues with date groups.  I'm trying to build a report for time cards that will calculate overtime based on 40 hours per week.  I've gotten all the calculations figured out, I just can't get it to group the weeks properly.  The problem I'm having is that Crystal Reports defults with Sunday as the start of the week, but our week starts on Monday.  I'm running the latest version of Crystal Reports.
 
Thanks for any help!

In the group expert, click on the options tab and then within the 'Common' tab, select 'in specified order'.  Follow the steps from there and that should solve your problem.

Unless I'm missing something, that won't quite work for me.  Playing around with that it wants each specific date to be included in the group.  I'm looking to do something more dynamic as I have to run this report everyother week.
 
I want to take a two week period of time dates and group it first according to Employee name (which I have), and then group them into week periods which are specific only to days of the week (I want them to be Monday through Sunday) not specific dates, which is the only way I can figure out to use the "Specified Group."

The only other way I can think of is to write a formula using the 'dayofweek' formula to determine the numeric value of the day of the week.  You can then assign names to the values and then group by week periods.  You may have to add a month and year formula if you want then separated even further.

try this..

{CUSTOMER_ORDER.DATE_ENTERED} = your field group by weekly.

dateadd("ww",datepart("ww",{CUSTOMER_ORDER.DATE_ENTERED}, crMonday)-1,
date(year({CUSTOMER_ORDER.DATE_ENTERED}),1,1)-dayofweek(date(year({CUSTOMER_ORDER.DATE_ENTERED}),1,1),crMonday)+1)
