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.
2 courses available — all taught live by expert instructors.
Once you've got the basics of Crystal Reports down, the real limitations show up fast: reports that need to summarize just a slice of the data instead of a flat subtotal, data spread across tables that aren't directly related, or formulas complex enough that a single expression won't get the job done. This course tackles those exact problems — running totals with real control over what's included, subreports that pull together otherwise unrelated data, SQL written directly inside Crystal Reports for speed and precision, and cross-tab reports and charts that summarize large datasets at a glance.
By the end of the course, students will also know how to build more advanced formulas using loops and arrays, and how to extend a finished report with dynamic images, alerts, and geographic maps.
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.
