crystal report to multiple sheets in one excel workbook (file)
hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2012 Crystal Repot 13 to create a report which based on a dataset.
I was able to export the crystal report to excel, however, how can export it to multiple sheets in one excel file? Each sheet should represent each group. I got the grouping working, just don't know how to export to multiple sheets.
I heard visual cut software will work, but i don't know how to use it.
If you really have no answer for multiple sheets, at least show me how i can insert a print break after each group for workaround.
Please advise,

This looks pretty old and obviously considered as unanswered so here are my 2 cents.
There are 2 tools on the market, which can be used to burst a crystal report: R-Tag Report Manager and Visual Cut. They can also combine the bursted files in one excel file with multiple worksheets. The difference is how they will do this:
- Visual Cut will use Excel automation. Microsoft strongly recommends to not do this. Here is why : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757
- R-Tag does not require Excel, all exports are handled internally ( I was working for this company in the past and I am familiar with the internal architecture)
Basically, you can do the same in your program by bursting the report to a folder and combine all generated excel files (one per group) in one file. I guess you will spend more time with the bursting , because this is the tricky part. Combining worksheets in Excel is few lines of code ( if you use Excel automation)
