• Key Concepts: 
  A wildcard is a special character used in SAP Crystal Reports to represent one or more characters in a search string. It is used to search for data that contains a certain pattern or set of characters. For example, the asterisk (*) is a wildcard that can be used to search for any string of characters. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Crystal Reports, wildcards can be used in the Find and Replace dialog box. To use a wildcard, enter the character in the Find field and then enter the text you want to search for in the Replace field. For example, if you wanted to find all occurrences of the word “report”, you could enter “*report*” in the Find field and “report” in the Replace field. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using wildcards, it is important to remember that they are case-sensitive. For example, if you are searching for “report”, you should enter “*Report*” instead of “*report*”. Additionally, it is important to remember that wildcards can only be used with text fields and not with numeric fields.
