Drawing Tree in a Report

Hi, I'm new to Crystal Report, and would like to seek some guidance here...

I'd like to draw a product tree (with nodes branching out from a header) in a report. Is that possible? Is there any online reference or anything that I can refer to?

Thanks...

I am not sure , but i remember you can have one lever tree node for Drilldown reports, There is a sample bundled with CR XI just look you will find it.

Hi, I'm very new to Crystal myself but I think, as CaptJack suggests you are looking for a drill down report.

This appears to be done Automatically for you when you are creating the report and opt to summarize your report by different categories, ie; product line, geographical area, etc......

So if for example you decide to bas your report on different Cars models Sold, and your report is set to summarize by Make, then City where sold then Car Dealer you would end up with a report on the screen such as

Ford

Chevy

Volkswagon

Honda

BMW

Then when you click on one of these such as Chevy you would get.

Ford

Chevy

Vancouver

Ontario

Winipeg

Victoria

Volkswagon

Honda

BMW

Then clicking a city you would get.

-

Ford

Chevy

Vancouver

Ontario

Bill's Chevy Sales

Ted Used Chevy's

Chevys R Us

Winipeg

Victoria

Volkswagon

Honda

BMW

-

all the while keeping in mind, I haven't sorted them correctly in my example.

So try looking into summarizing your data. I think this will give you what you're looking for.

Hope this helps, and even MORE, I hope I'm right.....
