Suppress Group Footer on Export

[WolvenGarde]

I would like to Suppress a Group Footer when a user exports the report to a file (usually Excel, but that doesn't really matter). We are running Crystal 8.5.

Thanks in advance,

This might be a long work around but you might try setting a parameter such as "Will this report be exported to Excel (Y)es (N)o"
Then in the Section expert use the formula editor on Suppress (no drill down) to use the parameter 'formula' would be {?Export} IN ['Y'] then if Parameter selected is Yes, that section is suppressed. It can also be used to suppress headers and other sections you don't want/need for your export.
I find it helpful, hope you do.

Thanks `Free,
Funny thing is, I just finished trying that (it does work by the way) when I saw your post. I'm going to leave the thread open a bit longer to see if anyone has what I would call a more elegant (automated) way of doing it. Thanks again though.
