How to display all the groups by default for the year even if the value is not present in the database

1.Create a crystal report using a database. 

2.Insert a Subreport1 in the report header and name it as Pim_Cls_Id.

3.Create a formula as,

FrlArraydesc:

WhilePrintingRecords;

Shared stringVar strDesc: = strDesc & {Sheet1_.PIM_SUPRCLS_DESC} & ";"

Place this formula in details section of the Subreport1.

4.Create another formula,

Frlstrarray:

WhilePrintingRecords;

Shared Stringvar strValid: = StrValid & totext ({Sheet1_.PIM_CLS_ID},"##") & ";"

Place the formula in details section of the Subreport1.

5.Suppress all the sections in the Subreport1.

6.In the page header of the main report, create a formula.

Formula1: FrlArraydesc

WhilePrintingRecords;

Shared stringVar strDesc;

Formula2: Frlstrdesc

WhilePrintingRecords;

Shared stringVar strValid;

7.Insert a group on year in the main report. Create another Subreport2, "Sub_Report_year" and place it in group header.

8.Link the main report and the Subreport2 with the formula, fisc_yr, frlArraydesc and frlstrdesc as parameters.

9.In the Subreport2, create a formula

Suprcls:

Whilereadingrecords;

Numbervar J: =J+1;

StringVar prm1;

If J<=20 then ( prm1:=split ({?Pm-@frlArraydesc},";")[J]; );

prm1

Place this formula in details section of Subreport2

10.Create a crosstab in Report footer of Subreport2 using MTH as column, FISC_YR and suprcls as the row and sales amount as the value.

11.Write a formula, to create a  fake group in main report.

Fakegroup:

While reading records;

true;

12.Now in the Subreport, we can view all the data, by using the horizontal slider.
