<div>
I know how to solve this in t-SQL, but not in Crystal reports as such.<br />
in t-sql would also give some different solutions (syntax), depending on the volume (number of rows) to process... and the complexity of the sql.<br />
<br />
best would be if the crystal reports takes a stored procedure as input ...<br />
please clarify

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a crystal report that has dates in it and I need to know the time difference as the status changes from In Progress to Completed. &nbsp;Don't care about any other statuses, but they are currently built into the report so disregard them.<br />
<br />
I am attaching the report.<br />
<br />
For each account, as the status (line 2,5) changes from In Progress to Complete, I need to show the time difference in hours and minutes across from the account #. &nbsp;When there are more than one In Progress times, I only want to use the first In Progress time, none of the others.<br />
<br />
I also want to disregard any accounts that are do not have both an In Progress and Complete time.<br />
<br />
This is over my head.<br />
<br />
Please help.<br />

This is a datediff question but involving grouping

A database report is the formatted result of database queries and contains useful data for decision-making and analysis. Most good business applications contain a built-in reporting tool; this is simply a front-end interface that calls or runs back-end database queries that are formatted for easy application usage.

DB Reporting Tools

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.
