Yes i have a maximum(C_or_Y_field,group_formulafield) in the group footer. And its not showing the record that i need. Btw I have suppressed the Detail section(which has (C_or_Y_field,group_formulafield) field in it) i.e. in the Section Expert i have checked the mark as Suppress. So do i have to Suppress the entire Group Footer and instead show the Detail Section with the formula under suppress as
NOT( maximum(C_or_Y_field,group_formulafield)  = C_or_Y_field)
 
thanks for ur patience

Lets focus on the MAX issue first.

If the detail section is not suppressed you have one field that has the string + Y or C in it like:
1TRAN053-0000134-2011C
1TRAN053-0000134-2011Y
 
Correct?
YOu used an insert summary fucntion on that same field as a MAXIMUM with a summary location in the group footer, correct?
In the group footer if there is any row for that group that has Y it is showing the Y value, otherwise it is showing the C value.
This part is not working for you?

Yes i have a problem here. Here for each Detail the Group Footer is showing a record. And also instead of suppressing C value its showing Y value. How does it knows to suppress the C value. Does MAX takes care of that.

You have one group level correct?
I think you are grouping on the C/Y field.
This group should grouped on the formula field that strips the C/Y
like
left({C_Y_field},len({C_Y_field})-1)

I have only 1 group yes thats correct. And am grouping it on the formula which has
left({C_Y_field},len({C_Y_field})-1).
And having a maximum on {C_Y_field} in the footer. Looks like am doing everything right not sure what else is missing

So using our sample data you should have something like 
GH -  1TRAN053-0000134-2011
Det -     1TRAN053-0000134-2011C
Det -     1TRAN053-0000134-2011Y
GF -   1TRAN053-0000134-2011Y
 
but you get this
GH -  1TRAN053-0000134-2011
Det -     1TRAN053-0000134-2011C
Det -     1TRAN053-0000134-2011Y
GF -   1TRAN053-0000134-2011C
Is that correct?

I think something is wrong in the queries that i had UNIONED. I get the Detail records both as similar. Please see below. Its not picking up the 1TRAN053-0000134-2011Y.
 
My Data:
 
GH -  1TRAN053-0000134-2011
Det -     1TRAN053-0000134-2011C
Det -     1TRAN053-0000134-2011C
GF -   1TRAN053-0000134-2011C
 
I think i have to look into rewriting these queries. And then follow ur method.

look at all of the groups and see if you have ANY "y" values.

If not your query is likely not doing what you want.
Otherwise it may be and the items you are 'testing' just all happen to not have any 'Y' rows.
