Otherwise, the program uses the source report's Design view data context as the Context Report Part
data context in the target report.
Scenario 2
If your source and target reports are the same report, and the object you choose as your source is from
the Preview view, when the target object you choose to link to is in a higher level than the source object,
the data context is left empty. For example, when the source data context is /Country[Aus
tralia]/ChildIndex[5], and the target data context is /Country[Australia], the Context
Report Part data context is left empty.
Scenario 3
If your source and target reports are the same report, and the object you choose as your source is from
the Preview view, when the target object you choose to link to is in a lower level than the source object,
the data context pasted is a Design view data context (in the form of a formula). For example, when
the source data context is /Country[Australia], and the target data context is /Country[Aus
tralia]/ChildIndex[5], the Context Report Part data context is "/"+{Customer.Country}.
Cross-tabs
If the object you copy in your source report is part of a cross-tab, the Context Report Part data context
is based on the selected object embedded in the cross-tab. Crystal Reports creates the data context
by tracking if the selected object in the cross-tab is a row, column, or cell. Next, the program retrieves
row and column names. Then it parses the Design view data context. Finally, it generates the Context
Report Part data context by adding the GridRowColumnValue function if the group in the data context
formula appears in the row or column names retrieved earlier. You might see, for example, a data
context such as:
"/"+GridRowColumnValue("Customer.Country")+"/"+GridRowColumnValue("Customer.Region")
18.2.1.6 Data context formats
• Normally, a data context formula appears as follows:
"/" + {Table.Field} + "/" + {Table.Field}
• You can also use these formats:
• XPath-like format:
/USA/Bicycle
• Strongly-Typed format:
/Country[USA]/Product Class[Bicycle]
Note:
You can add detail-level information in 0-based format:
/USA/Bicycle/ChildIndex[4]
