Crystal Reports - Shading the Background Color

Quick and easy.

Most SalesLogix users also use Crystal Reports, and if you know what you are doing there are many types of reports that you can build.  Below are a couple paragraphs from a blog by George Jensen with instructions for how to shade the background color of a section in Crystal:

"I have done this in one or two of the SalesLogix Crystal reports I worked on in previous posts to help separate out records.  I recently had a client ask me how to do this and when I looked back through the posts I discovered that the information is buried deep in one of the many blogs I have written.  So the easy way to shade every other row in a report is as follows.

For this task I use the RecordNumber function that comes with Crystal.  This function basically returns the record number in the order it is displayed in your report.  I want to shade every other record so I will use a formula to identify odd number records.  This is the formula I came up with:"

About Brianna Tinjum

I am happy to say I love my job! Everyday there is a new challenge and something new to learn, it keeps things interesting. I was very happy when we started Good Training because it gave me an opportunity to help people and share knowledge. Outside of the office I enjoy being active. When weather permits you may catch me riding my bike around the lakes of Minneapolis or hiking in Northern Minnesota. In the winter I get out snowboarding as much as possible and I always try to take a trip to the mountains. I made it out to Bridger Bowl in Bozeman, MT at the end of February 2008 and it was a fantastic time! Year round I participate in dance and yoga classes to mix things up. I love watching movies and you could say I may have seen too many. :) I also have a passion for reading - if I find a good book it can consume all of my free time.
