'Do not print a particular field on first page of the report
I am working on crystal reports. I want to avoid printing a field on the first page of the report, but print it on rest of the pages. I am also resetting the page number at group level. So if I suppress the field on page 1 it also suppresses on the page where the new group starts and the page number is reset to 1, which I don’t want.
Solution 1:[1]
If the field is suppressed on this condition:
RecordNumber = 1
it should behave like you want, i.e. it's not shown on the very first page, regardless of the CR page numbering.
Note: this one will only work if the second record started on page 1, too.
Solution 2:[2]
If I'm understanding your question correctly, it sounds like you are using a formula to suppress the field when PageNumber = 1, and it is suppressing the field on the first page of the report, but when you get to the next record in the group the page number resets to 1 and the field is suppressed again, when you want it to be shown.
I would try updating the suppression formula to the following.
PageNumber = 1 AND GroupNumber = 1
If you have multiple levels of grouping in your data, things can get a little interesting though. The GroupNumber function does not allow you to specify which group it is enumerating and instead returns record number for the inner most group that the function is contained within.
