You can open the Formula Workshop by itself before you begin adding
specific kinds of formulas.
To access the Formula Workshop
1. On the Report menu, click Formula Workshop.
Tip:
Another way to do this is to click the Formula Workshop button on
the Expert Tools toolbar.
The Formula Workshop appears.
2.
Click New and select the kind of formula you want to create from
the list that appears.
Tip:
You can also select the appropriate folder in the Workshop Tree, and
then click the New button.
The appropriate editor or dialog box appears.
Workshop Tree
The Workshop Tree contains folders for each type of formula you can create
in Crystal Reports. It also contains folders for custom functions and SQL
Expressions. If the workshop appears as the result of using a specific
command (for example, you've selected the Record command on the
Selection Formulas submenu), the appropriate folder in the tree is selected,
and the appropriate version of the Formula Editor appears.
Expand any folder in the tree to see the formulas that already exist. New
formulas can be added, and existing formulas can be edited or deleted as
needed.
Tip:
The Workshop Tree can be docked. By default, it appears docked on the
left-hand side of the Formula Workshop, but you can manually dock it on the
right-hand side. In free-floating mode, the Workshop Tree can be dragged
to any location in the workshop.
