Crystal Reports Training Courses

Crystal Reports remains one of the most widely used business reporting tools in enterprise environments, particularly for organizations running SAP, Sage, or other ERP systems. SkillForge's live Crystal Reports training courses teach you to design, format, and deliver professional business reports that connect directly to your data sources.

What our Crystal Reports courses cover: Introduction courses cover the Crystal Reports interface, connecting to databases, building basic reports, sorting and grouping data, adding summaries and totals, formatting for professional presentation, and working with charts. Intermediate courses build on that with subreports, cross-tab reports, advanced formulas and functions, parameter fields, conditional formatting, and report templates. You'll work with real data throughout the course and leave with reports you can adapt for your own organization.

All courses are taught live by expert instructors in small groups. Available as public online sessions or private on-site training.

Crystal Reports Intermediate Training

In this Crystal Reports Intermediate Training Course, students will build on their existing knowledge of Crystal Reports to create more complex reports for specific business scenarios. Students will learn how to use Running Totals in a Crystal Report, which allow a user to summarize only specific data in a report (unlike Subtotals and Grand Totals, which don't provide as much control over which data is included in an aggregation.) As students progress through the course, they will also see how to create more advanced formulas that use loops to iterate over data and arrays to hold values for use in other places in the report. Another key takeaway for students in this course is how to use Subreports in situations where data from multiple, potentially unrelated, tables needs to be brought together in one report. The course continues with a lesson on how to use SQL statements directly in Crystal Reports as well as how to use Table Joins, Subqueries and SQL Expression fields. Students will also see the power and flexibility of Cross-Tab reports and Cross-Tab charts in Crystal and how they can be used to summarize data quickly and efficiently. Lastly, students will see some additional features to enhance reports, like adding dynamic images and creating reports that use geographic maps to display data.
