Hi Experts,

I am newbie in crystal report world :)

I need some help regarding creating record selection formulas:

1. How to filter records on the base of date [dd/mm/yyyy] range? The report will get two DATE parameters "fromDate" & "toDate". Can you please tell how to make this formula?

2. How to filter records on the base of time [mm:hh] range? The report will get two DATE parameters "fromTime" & "toTime". Can you please tell how to make this formula?

3. I have one parameter "CompanyName" which if user provides then the data should be selected for that specific company otherwise all companies data should appear. How to create this formula?

4. I want to create summary field which will be count of specific value lets say "XYZ" in some particular column of report. How to create such formula?

Thankx

Try this Creating a Report with a Selection Formula[^]
Send the selected company value to the selection formula, that's all.

Here you go Crystal Reports Summary Field[^]

[Edit]
What error you are getting?
I think you need to put block() for If block.

{EMPLOYEE.BIRTHDATE} >= {?FromDate} and {EMPLOYEE.BIRTHDATE} <= {?ToDate} and 
//(
// If (StrCmp({?DeptName},"") = -1) Then 
// (  
   {EMPLOYEE.WORKDEPT} = {?DeptName} //Append this by condition in front-end.
// )
//)

Then comment the if block like above, Actually in front end(java) check the condition if DeptName has selected or not. If yes then append the DeptName thing in selection formula else stop with fromdate & todate things.
If DeptName selected then

C#

{EMPLOYEE.BIRTHDATE} >= {?FromDate} and {EMPLOYEE.BIRTHDATE} <= {?ToDate} and
   {EMPLOYEE.WORKDEPT} = {?DeptName}

else

C#

{EMPLOYEE.BIRTHDATE} >= {?FromDate} and {EMPLOYEE.BIRTHDATE} <= {?ToDate}

Send this selection formula to report at runtime in java.
Let us know.
