I have a Group section with Details section, that should present data in two rows. My problem is that I need "down then accross" functionality, but not in a way CR wants me to. CR starts a new column only when first column reaches end of page. But I need to have two columns for each Group section. So if there are 14 details for Group 1, I need 7-7 details shown, and if the next Group 2 has 9 details, I need 5-4 details shown etc.

I tried to suppress details based on result of "RecordNumber mod 2" formula (if it returns 0 - show in first column, if not - show in second), but with no success.

I've lost almost all hope to solve this, so you're my last resort.

Thanks, I've tried that, it works, but it's not what I'm looking for. What I really want is this - if I have 9 detail records in a section, I want to print:

1   6
2   7
3   8
4   9
5

And on the next section, 6 details should be like:

1   4
2   5
3   6

I'm not sure this can be done easily, since the report has to "jump" from bottom of one column to the top of another. I was thinking, is it possible to limit the height of the Detail section? Perhaps this way the report would be "forced" to start from top after bottom of the section was reached.
