<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have the following formula that allows to select to field on want to sort on. &nbsp;That seems to work, however I cant override the default sort. &nbsp;If its by date then I want descending and ifs by unitid I want ascending order. &nbsp;Here is the formula that doesnt work when I try and add the sort direction.<br />
<br />
If {?SortOrder} = &quot;U&quot; Then<br />
&nbsp;{TAG_InsuranceReport2;1.Un<wbr />itId}<br />
Else<br />
&nbsp; toText({TAG_InsuranceRepor<wbr />t2;1.EndDa<wbr />te},&quot;yyyy-<wbr />MM-dd&quot;) <br />
<br />
I have tried adding crAscendingOrder at the end of lines then the formula errors out and says its not part of the formula.<br />

sorting crystal reports within a formula

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.
