BUG: GROUP BY NOT WORKING (please help)

Hi,
My company is using Crystal Reports XI. Every installation for crystal has the same problem here:
If you create a formula, it does not appear as a selection for the group by -- regardless of whether the formula is being used in the report or not.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? (there was no problem with this feature 2 weeks ago when I last created a report using these features).
Please help.
Thanks

Please copy and paste the formula into a reply and we can be more specific but I suspect you're utilizing a function that must be processed later on in the 3-pass report generation model.  One can only group on simple formulas so that the results of the formula will be available at the point the groups are created.
Once we see the formula we can provide more specifics and workarounds.  Crystal Reports is intelligent and will not display those printtime formulas when selecting a field or formula on which to group - as it knows that this cannot be done.
There are workarounds based on what functions are being used in your formula.
