    Posted: 08 Jul 2013 at 1:28pm
So I have a nice neat little report that I have generated and it works beautifuly.  Now the powers that be have asked me to automate the report if possible.  The data is exported into Excel and that then drives a dashboard. 
 
Is there a way to take all of the work I've done in crystal and easily dump that into excel?

You can export the report to Excel (Data Only) to get the file, but you might have to do some reformatting to get it to export cleanly.  You can find information about how to do that here: https://www.facebook.com/notes/sap-crystal-reports-and-dashboard-solutions/formatting-a-crystal-report-for-export-to-ms-excel/431695651872
To automate the process you could write either Java or .NET code using the SDK and create a program that could be scheduled in the Windows Scheduler to automatically run the report and export it to Excel.
