Hi Chopp,<br />

You may need to go to Visual linking expert, choose the link and try selecting left or right outer joins under link options.<br />
<br />
Hope this works.<br />

Thank you, James. &nbsp;I ended up using a SQL view to manipulate my data.<br />

Glad you were able to work it out. &nbsp;Sometimes a manual query is the best way to go, especially if you're comfortable writing your own queries.<br />

Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
When I add a field from a table that is left joined in my data model, to the report, some records are excluded. &nbsp;When I remove the field, the records are not excluded. &nbsp;Can you explain why this happens? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />

Hello Experts,

Adding a Field to Report from Left Joined Table Causes Records to be Excluded

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
