Answer 1

If you are asking how to change the formatting from

1.00

to

1

Then you need to:

1. Right-click -> Number
2. Customize -> Number
3. Modify "Decimals" option to be 1 (not 1.0, or 1.00)

Answer 2

Do you need to show serial number from DATABASE? Or is it simply a serial number to be shown on the report? Your question is not clear on this. If you need to show from the database, then you need to know which column to be shown. If it is simply a serial number, use a formula in crystal report.

If your serial numbers are shown as 1.00, 2.00 etc., you need to format the field using the formatter. Right click the field and from the context menu select Format. This will open up the formatter and you can set how the number should be shown on it.
