Topic: select last "x" number of records in database Posted: 28 Jul 2009 at 9:40am
Hey everybody! I need some help coming up with a selection formula that will only display the last 6 records from a database...
Long story aside, what I have is a crystal file using an excel file outputted from another Crystal report as its database, it has 5 columns, 4 with data (month, var1, var2, var3) and another column which I added which contains the record number 1 -> x (which is 15 at this point).
Since the number of records is dynamic I can't have a formula like {record} > 10 or something simple like that, I've tried a bunch of things but every way I've thought of uses a "WhilePrintingRecords" approach and therefore isn't criteria for a selection formula.
It seems like a simple request but crystal is making it hard for me and ruining my day (like always), any help would be greatly appreciated! THANKS~!!
