Hi,
I am new to crystal reports, i am designing a report i.e cross tab report as shown below,
AGE TABLE
0-5
6-10
11-15
16-20
21-25
26-28
CLASS A Count
                 7
               15
CLASS B Count
                 7
               15
CLASS C Count
                109
             155
             120
               96
               89
Now my questions are,
How to display age ranges i.e 0-5, 6-10,........?
How to group ages in range and get the count or any summarized value ?
Here i am passing three parameters to the report which are
1. prmLowAge
2. prmHighAge
3. prmAgeBand
Above shown sample is characterised with prmAgeBand = 5, prmLowAge = 0 and prmHighAge = 28.
And if possible please try to find the solution for variable age bands.
Please i am very desperate. Please help me in solving this .

You can use a Do...While loop.  You can use the funtion below:
LOCAL STRINGVAR AGEGRP;LOCAL NUMBERVAR AGECNT := 0;
DO (AGEGRP := CSTR(AGECNT,0) + '-' + CSTR(AGECNT+5,0);AGECNT := AGECNT + 5)WHILE AGECNT < ;
AGEGRP
Also, you may want to use the following funtion to get , because the formula you were going to use would only compare the year of birth to the current year and ignore the number of months and days difference.
Int(DateDiff("d",{table.BirthDate},CurrentDate)/365)
