How can we display the Group headers in horizontal manner instead of vertical when viewed inside preview?

Sorry, not quite sure what you mean.

do you mean: You want the text in the header to appear vertically instead of horizontally

Do you mean that you want the groups to appear beside each other on the page rather than underneath each other e.g.

                |  North  |  South   |  East    |  West  |
Sales             xxx.xx     xxx.xx     xxx.xx     xxx.xx
Profit              x.xx       x.xx       x.xx       x.xx

Where N,S,E,W are groups?

Or do you mean

_
N    Sales       xxx.xx
O    Profit       xx.xx
R
T
H
_
S    Sales      xxx.xx
O    Profit      xx.xx
U
T
H
_

If you build the columsn yourself yes, or use a crosstab. If you mean you want it to work like normal groups then no.

When I was still working for Crystal I asked for that as an enhancement. That was in 10 years ago. Its probably still there. The product counter arguement against doing it is that Crystal is bound to the page size and so doing something like this would cause page width issues. However, a crosstab does it, so I dont see a problem.
