Date Periods in Cross Tab rows

Question

Firstly please note that I am still some what of a novice.
I am using Crystal X and appear to be experiencing some inconstancies in how the dates are being grouped when the Period extends over two Financial years (e.g. in Australia it is 07/08). When I add the Date value {@InspectedDate} and then format as per the following:
//DB - Financial Year: ({@InspectedDate})
If Month ({@InspectedDate}) >= 7 and Month ({@InspectedDate}) <= 12
Then Cstr(Year ({@InspectedDate}),0,"") + "/" + Cstr(Year ({@InspectedDate})+1,0,"")
Else If Month ({@InspectedDate}) >= 1 and Month ({@InspectedDate}) <= 6
Then Cstr(Year ({@InspectedDate})-1,0,"") + "/" + Cstr(Year ({@InspectedDate}),0,"")
Else "Error"
I end up with two groupings of 2007/2008 even though some of the dates are in the 2008/2009 period.
Then if I use a String value e.g. {@FinancialYear} I end up with the one period 2008/2009 and the second row (which was set up into quarters) displays the five quarters as part of 2008/2009.

Mr. Guillen,
I faced the same problem but not in date, it was in time ( such as 02:45). The result which is coming in your report is only due to the output is of string type, this type of problem I have solved through creating Views and displaying the field from views instead of table.
Well, you know your DB more and if it is possible then create a view to get the output in your report.
