Crystal Reports Introduction Training

New to Crystal Reports? SkillForge's Introduction to Crystal Reports course gives you a solid foundation in the world's most widely used business reporting tool. In this live, instructor-led class you'll go from zero to building professional, data-connected reports in a single day.

What this course covers: The Crystal Reports interface and navigation, connecting to databases and data sources, building your first report, sorting and grouping records, adding summaries and grand totals, formatting text and numbers for professional presentation, inserting charts and graphs, and exporting reports to PDF, Excel, and other formats. By the end of the day you'll have built several real reports you can adapt for your own work.

No prior Crystal Reports experience is required. A basic understanding of databases is helpful but not essential. Available as a public online session or private on-site training.

Crystal Reports Introduction Training

Many organizations rely on manually built or exported spreadsheet reports because no one on the team has been trained on the reporting tools already available to them. Crystal Reports is designed specifically for building structured, reusable, professional reports from underlying data — but without training, most new users only ever use a small fraction of its capability.

This course teaches Crystal Reports from the ground up, so reports can be built once and reused reliably going forward. It is designed for professionals who are new to Crystal Reports, as well as those who have used a previous version and want to update their skills.
