I have a CR report that I am designing and I have all of my fields from the database. The database is a large one but all of the data has a year in it. I want to print out year 2014 data for a user, how will that go? Example:

XML

User | Car Miles | Walk Miles | Run Miles | Year |
100  | 2000      | 3000       | 1000      | 2012 |
100  | 800       | 74         | 520       | 2013 |
100  | 500       | 88         | 528       | 2014 |

So, on the report I just want the report to display all the data that has the Year 2014. Can this be done on CR 2013?

Yes, you can use Selection Formula to filter your data in CR

C#

string selectFormula = "{Report.Fieldname} = 2013 ";
crystalReportViewer.SelectionFormula = selectFormula;

you can pass the Year like this also

C#

int year = 2013;
string selectFormula = "{Report.Fieldname} =" +year;
crystalReportViewer.SelectionFormula = selectFormula;

Some useful information can be found from here and here

The code you gave is for the code behind right? What about on the program that makes a CR? I have reports that I designed in SAP CR 2013. Is there a formula that I can put together like in Formula Fields to filter out the year I need?

yes it is for codebehind.you can add selection formulas in CR too

Where do I enter the filter formula for the Year in CR v2013?
