Searching for formula text
You can use the Find dialog box to carry out a number of different activities:
• Search for text or characters in the Field, Function, or Operator trees.
• Search for text or characters that you want to mark or replace in the
formula, Custom Function, or SQL Expression that you have open.
• Search for text or characters across all SQL Expressions in a report.
• Search for text or characters across all formulas and Custom Functions
in a report.
When you search for text across all formulas, the results appear in a pane
at the bottom of the Formula Workshop. (You can dock the results pane in
other locations). When you click an item in the results pane, Crystal Reports
opens the appropriate formula and highlights the matching text.
Tip:
You can open the Formula Workshop to search across all formulas from the
Field Explorer and from the body of a report. To do this, select a formula
field, right-click it, and choose the "Find in Formulas" option.
