CSV Export Options Page

The CSV Export Options page is available if you select CSV as the export format.

Delimiter

The Delimiter is the character that is used to enclose string values in the export. Leave the box empty if you do not want to use a delimiter.

Separator

The Separator is the character that is used to separate the values (columns) on each line of the export file. You may enter the desired character, or check the Use tab box to have a tab character inserted between values.

Section Export

The Section Export setting determines how report, page, and group sections are exported.

Crystal Reports default

All sections exported. All your headers and footers are exported, exactly as if the report were being printed.

Export Isolated

All headers are written once, at the beginning of the file, and all footers are written once, at the end of the file.

None

Only Detail records are exported; no headers or footers are exported.

The same setting is applied to report, page, and group headers and footers. If you need separate settings for different kinds of headers/footers, use the Project Editor instead, which offers additional options.

You may need to experiment with this setting to get the desired outcome based on how your report is structured. For example, if you are using grouping in your report and need the data from the group headers and footers written to the file, you should choose All sections exported.
