• Key Concepts: 
  A selection formula is a feature of Crystal Reports that allows users to filter data in a report. It is used to limit the data that is displayed in the report by specifying criteria for the data to be included. The selection formula can be used to select specific records, fields, or groups of records and fields.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a selection formula, open the Crystal Reports Designer and select the “Selection Formula” option from the menu. This will open a window where you can enter your criteria for the data to be included in the report. You can also use the “Formula Editor” to create more complex selection formulas. Once you have entered your criteria, click “OK” to apply the selection formula to the report.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a selection formula, it is important to remember that it is case-sensitive. This means that if you enter a criteria in all lowercase letters, it will only match records with criteria in all lowercase letters. Additionally, you can use wildcards in your selection formula to match multiple values. For example, if you enter “*” as your criteria, it will match any value.
