When I export from Crystal Reports, any fields that are marked as Can Grow

  • 0

When I export from Crystal Reports, any fields that are marked as Can Grow are merged with an otherwise blank row below them.

This completely messes up my sorting. How can I resolve this?

    I suggest another way: choose ExportFormatType.ExcelRecord instead of ExportFormatType.Excel. The xls file will be created without formatting.

    If actually the user is exporting report using ReportViewer Toolbar Export button you can:

    • Replace the CrystalReportViewer Control with the ReportExporter Control. It will export the report in the format you choose.

    Or hide Export button from toolbar and put in the page buttons that exports programmatically

    CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.ExportToHttpResponse(ExportFormatType.ExcelRecord, this.Response , false, "report.xls");

    reportDocument.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.ExcelRecord, "report.xls");

    You can choose the way that best fits your needs, but you must try if it works with the runtime you use either in development or in release server.

    ExportFormatType.ExcelRecord means that is generated an xls file, without formatting. If you set ExportFormatType.Excel fields that are marked as “Can Grow” are merged with an otherwise blank row below them.
