    Posted: 17 Apr 2008 at 6:08pm

I have a crystal report in XI and I'm using two queries with a union, and I want to display duplicate records.  I've set the properties in the query to report duplicates, but it's still not working.   Any suggestions?

Are you using "Union" or "Union All"?  "Union" will automatically filter out duplicates.

I'm using a Union, but don't know how to use the Union All when using a Universe as my data connection, I don't see an option for Union all, only Union.

With a universe as your data connection, there may not be much you can do about it as the universe controls how the SQL is generated.  Here are a couple of things you can try:
 
- Check on your Database menu - if "Select Distinct Records" is checked, then uncheck it.
 
- Is there a field that might contain a value that would make the records from one part of the union different from those in the other?  If so, put that field on your report and change its text color to white so that you can't actually see it.  This way it will be included in the query and will force the records that are duplicates in all of their other fields to display.

I don't know if, 3 years later, anyone is still interested, but if you go to Database Expert > Links, then choose:

1. Inner (or left outer) join
2. Enforce Join: choose either "Enforce to" or "Enforce Both"

Then the duplicate records will show up. Of course, there may be unforeseen consequences to this, but it appears to be a solution.

kitster100, I think those options are only available when joining tables from the data together in the Linking section of the Database Expert.  The original poster was using a Universe to generate the query for the report and those options are not available in that situation.
