hi guys

please help me on my project about displaying all missing dates in my report?

For example, your report may look like this...
Dec. 1, 2011 pilita
Dec. 2, 2011 pilita
Dec. 3, 2011 pilita
Dec. 4, 2011 pilita
Dec. 7, 2011 pilita
Dec. 8, 2011 pilita
Dec. 10, 2011 pilita
Dec. 13, 2011 pilita
Dec. 15, 2011 pilita
Dec. 16, 2011 pilita
Dec. 20, 2011 pilita
Dec. 21, 2011 pilita
Dec. 22, 2011 pilita
Dec. 25, 2011 pilita
Dec. 27, 2011 pilita
Dec. 30, 2011 pilita

And what you'd really like to have displayed on the report is this...
Dec. 1, 2011 pilita
Dec. 2, 2011 pilita
Dec. 3, 2011 pilita
Dec. 4, 2011 pilita
Dec. 5, 2011
Dec. 6, 2011
Dec. 7, 2011 pilita
Dec. 8, 2011 pilita
Dec. 9, 2011
Dec. 10, 2011 pilita
Dec. 11, 2011
Dec. 12, 2011
Dec. 13, 2011 pilita
Dec. 14, 2011
Dec. 15, 2011 pilita
Dec. 16, 2011 pilita
Dec. 17, 2011
Dec. 18, 2011
Dec. 19, 2011
Dec. 20, 2011 pilita
Dec. 21, 2011 pilita
Dec. 22, 2011 pilita
Dec. 23, 2011
Dec. 24, 2011

Dec. 26 2011
Dec. 27 2011 pilita

I deleted your triplicate threads; please don't post the same question multiple times.

In general, you'd have to have a table of all the dates and use a LEFT JOIN against that table. You can populate a table on the fly with the dates requested for the report.

so to understand what you want?

You want us to explain why some code, which you have not shared with us doesn't work?

I had a look at this link

http://scn.sap.com/thread/3509531

which refers to your link and there are a number of solutions, including the one proposed by Paul.

actually sir i have some codes of this but i get an error...

Custom Function:

Function Days_Between (datefield as date, nextdatefield as date, format as string)

dim thisdate as date
dim nextdate as date
dim output as string 'output is the text display
dim daysbetween as number
dim looptimes as number
looptimes = 0
daysbetween = 0
thisdate = datefield + 1
nextdate = nextdatefield

if nextdate - thisdate > 1 then daysbetween = nextdate - thisdate else daysbetween = 1
do
if nextdate - thisdate > 1 _
then output = output + totext(thisdate, format) + chr(10) _
else _
if nextdate - thisdate > 0 _
then output = output + totext(thisdate, format)

looptimes = looptimes + 1
thisdate = thisdate + 1
loop until looptimes = daysbetween

Days_Between = output
End Function

And this is for Section Expert for the new details section:

Days_Between ({Ship_Date.Date}, next({Ship_Date.Date}), 'MMM. d, yyyy')

I only use Crystal Reports occasionally so would not consider myself an expert. There may be others here who can help but I think you will have more success visiting a SAP or Crystal Reports user forum. Did you try the link I provided?

I am just wondering if {Ship_Date.Date} is actually a datetime and CR is complaining about that. Doing a convert to a date in the function call should be a quick way to test.
