ok so im kind of a noobi when it comes to crystal... and i tend to take the easy way out (for me anyway)...i write most of my reports in SQL server then just convert the parameters to crystal syntax etc...
i needed a report that would be a crosstab... 
 
BDM                 Recruiter                      Type                 Apr       May
Lingenfelter       Beedenbender              %APD             0.81     1.14
Lingenfelter       Beedenbender              %EPD              1.09     1.20
Lingenfelter       Beedenbender              APD                909      1362
Lingenfelter       Beedenbender              EPD                 1224    1432
Lingenfelter       Beedenbender              Goal                 1116    1189
 
 
So i wrote it out in sql first... the only problem is that the "TYPE" field needs to have different formats depending on the result... so where "Type" = %APD i have to format the corresponding numbers as percentages....
 
how or where can i put a formual that will only format those that are less then 2 into a percentage?
 
I hope that makes sense….

if {table.Type} = "%APD" then
  format({table.field}, "#,##0.00")
else
  totext({table.field},0,"")
 
should do it.  You have to return the same type of value (in this case a string) on both sides of an if statement in CR
