A custom
function can be used when there is a need to run the same code/logic in
multiple places of a report/reports. To create and use a custom function in a
Crystal Report, follow these steps.

2. Right click on 'Report Custom Functions' and click on New...
3. Type in the name of the formula and click on the 'Use Editor' button.
4. Type in the function. The function in this picture has two parameters. It
adds two number together and returns the result.
5. When done, click Save and Close. You have now created a custom function.
6. You can now call the custom function from within a formula. Remember to
enter any parameters that need to be sent to the custom function. If the custom
function shown, the value returned from the custom function is saved in a
