    Posted: 23 Dec 2011 at 12:27am
Hello,

First off i'm fairly new to Crystal Reports

I'm looking for some guidance/suggestions here not a detailed 'fix'

I want to create a report from Oracle tables. We have a person table connected to an organisation table which in turn connects to a position table. In addition the person table is connected to a training events table. I would like to produce a report to show all people in an organisation who hold a given position have not attended a particular training event but I'm having difficulty 'seeing' how I manage to report on records that don't actually exist - hence reporting by exception.

Any help/support/suggestions will be gratefully received.

thanks Dambuster

well, it depends I think on what the parameter is/are.
 
I would think that you would like the tables together to get people in the organization and then outer join them to the training table.
 
Those that have a NULL for the event in question would be who your after.
 
If your allowed/comfortable with SQL, I would say create a stored proc and use that to retrieve your data. You can make sure that the data is what you are after, and you can 'see' the data that CR is going to pull back...it's not just a black box where magic happens when you use stored procs.
