crystal report help...please!!!

hello
i'm using crystal reports for the first time , and i've this complicated thing to figure out. i want a report which shows the field names on the right side(row wise)and each record coming on the side.Basically a columnar ordered data.

i tried using the crosstab option in crystal reports, but didn't help.actually i don't have any summarized fields here, i mean no calculations.maybe i 'm not on the right track??
well...i don't have any clue on how to go about.
and i need it real urgent.....
please help me out...!!!!!
thanks in advance!!!

but haven't done this before and at this moment I can't do any experiment because I am too busy as today is the last day of my project submission...

By the way one of my report looks like this if you find it useful...

The point is i don't have subtotals. All my fileds are strings.
and i want my data in this format:

******** record1 record2 record3 record4
Fieldname1

Fieldname2

Fieldname3

Fieldname4

Fieldname5


Please help me if anyone can....its very urgent!!!!!!

AFAIK crystal report cross tab report support it...
if u are using sql server i have some thing
BOL

Code:

---

USE Northwind
GO

CREATE TABLE Pivot
( Year      SMALLINT,
  Quarter  TINYINT,
  Amount      DECIMAL(2,1) )
GO
INSERT INTO Pivot VALUES (1990, 1, 1.1)
INSERT INTO Pivot VALUES (1990, 2, 1.2)
INSERT INTO Pivot VALUES (1990, 3, 1.3)
INSERT INTO Pivot VALUES (1990, 4, 1.4)
INSERT INTO Pivot VALUES (1991, 1, 2.1)
INSERT INTO Pivot VALUES (1991, 2, 2.2)
INSERT INTO Pivot VALUES (1991, 3, 2.3)
INSERT INTO Pivot VALUES (1991, 4, 2.4)
GO

This is the SELECT statement used to create the rotated results:

SELECT Year,
    SUM(CASE Quarter WHEN 1 THEN Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Q1,
    SUM(CASE Quarter WHEN 2 THEN Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Q2,
    SUM(CASE Quarter WHEN 3 THEN Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Q3,
    SUM(CASE Quarter WHEN 4 THEN Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Q4
FROM Northwind.dbo.Pivot
GROUP BY Year
GO



SELECT P1.*, (P1.Q1 + P1.Q2 + P1.Q3 + P1.Q4) AS YearTotal
FROM (SELECT Year,
            SUM(CASE P.Quarter WHEN 1 THEN P.Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Q1,
            SUM(CASE P.Quarter WHEN 2 THEN P.Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Q2,
            SUM(CASE P.Quarter WHEN 3 THEN P.Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Q3,
            SUM(CASE P.Quarter WHEN 4 THEN P.Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Q4
    FROM Pivot AS P
    GROUP BY P.Year) AS P1
GO

ref help the best or try to build a cross tab query using wizard and go to sql mode and see the query... but mostly it should be a numeric field...

i've refered the help and have already tried many things under crosstab. It is all strings field.
since i'm just one day old with this crystal report and its pretty urgent, i'm in a helpless position !
