	I have a POS sales database and each transaction has a sales date. The issue i am having is that i want to group all sales between 7am and 6.59am the next day into one date. When I group by sales date all transactions after midnight are added onto the next day. Any help would be appreciated....

	use the dateshift() function to move your value by 7 hours, group on that formula result but display the original data field Edited by DBlank - 27 Jul 2012 at 9:37am

	DateShift didn't work in crystal so it got me searching and i found the solution. ShiftDateTime was what i needed and I did what you said and grouped by my formula. It took me a while to figure it out but this is what i used. shiftdatetime ({RegisterSale.SaleDate},"AEST,-960,AEST","") this put each transaction datetime back by 7 hours and now all is reporting correctly. Thanks alot for your response. Edited by ewhite - 29 Jul 2012 at 10:00pm
