    Posted: 17 Apr 2007 at 7:42am

I am working on a report which gets data from oracle database. one field is of datatype memo. I wanted to export this in excel but because of memo type data is getting splitted in several  lines.  I want it to only one line.

Please advice how to keep in 1 line.

This will depend on the version of Crystal that you're using.  I'm not sure when the ability to manipulate memo data in a formula was added - I think it was either version 9 or 10, so this will probably work for that and XI.

You'll need to create a formula that will replace the carriage return (chr(13)) and line-feed (chr(10)) characters in the memo field with a space.  You'll then use that formula on the report instead of the memo field itself. 
 
Replace({table.memofield}, chr(13) + chr(10), " ")
 
NOTE:  You may have to tweak this if your memo field only contains carriage returns instead of the cr/lf pair.
