Hi There,


I've a req to build a crystal report(I'm using VS 2012). Column headers should be dynamic.

ex:-
Report should be like this

Empl   Dep1     Dep2    Dep3 (One possiblility)
Empl   Dep2     Dep 3   Dep 4 (Anothe possibility)


Empl   Dep 1   Dep2   Dep3......These are the column headers(caption) data will be in Detail section.

CR won't allow dynamic columns...as that would imply that the schema is changing, and CR doesn't like that.
 
What you can do is using a stored procedure, return 2 tables.  the first table has the data, with values for each of the columns, the second table has the name of the columns....
 
or you could do a crosstab style report,
 
or actually looking at the sample a bit closer,
 
the stored proc could return the names of the columns for each employee in a 'header' table and the data in a 'detail' table that is linked by the employeeID or something like that .
 
Hope one of these ideas helps.
