Hi guys how do you disable the dummy data that the crystal reports generate if there is no data present in the reportSource. Let's say for example my dataSource/ReportSource is a dataset and its tables' columns values are still null. How do you disable the dummy data generated by crystal reports so that when you preview the report no data are present. Thanks guys.

Hi,

please attach screen shot to show what dummy data you are getting.

Crystal report fetches data from dataset only.
There is no option to display dummy data.
If you are getting any dummy data which you don't want to display in report handle it at dataset level.

or if you don't want to display any columns you can supress section.

Thanks.
