Question : Displaying "heading" next to detail section in Crystal Reports

Hi all,

  In Crystal Reports, I am trying to create an area of a report that spits out information about employee absences.  There can be up to three absences reasons (for example, the first could be "Doctor's appointment", the second could be "Sprained ankle).   What I would like is for the area of the report to be formatted in the following way:

Reasons For Absence: Reason 1
                                          Reason 2
                                          Reason 3

If I display the absence reasons as a detail section, the "Reasons For Absence:" field displays three times over.  If I combine the reasons into three separate entries in a row in a table and put each reason in a specific place on the report, I am able to display the "Reasons For Absence" value only once, but end up with a large space between the absence reasons and the next section of the report in the event that there is only one reason.  I am unsure which approach I should be taking to this, or how to resolve the issue.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Answer : Displaying "heading" next to detail section in Crystal Reports

Header: "Reason for absense" - Right click and "Underlay following sections"
     Group By: Reason's
          Group Header: Suppress
          Detail Line: Suppress
          Group Footer: Group Title for Reason's with info, summaries, etc.. etc..


In my opinion I'd avoid a sub report for each group, this could cause the report to slow over time (with more and more information to load).
