   Topic: Suppressing Subreports
Posted: 23 Apr 2012 at 5:26am |
Hi, I have 5 sub-reports placed in 5 different groups. Subreports are the invoices due within weeks. ( 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks) I've done this successfully but the only problem is that subreports seem to appear 10x which make 50+ pages and I don't know how to suppress it. Tried the "Previous" formula but it just lessen the page.. Any help please? Thank you. ESC :)

one would think that there are due dates for each invoice. using this I would think that you would utilize the conditional suppression for each section with something like {table.dueDate} < dateadd("d", -7, currentDate) or {table.dueDate} > dateAdd("d", 0, currentDate) I may have the numbers wrong, but what I trying to do is the check the invoice due date as compared to the date. If the due date is in the range you get a false result which will display the subreport, if you get a true, the section will be hidden. Obviously you could use a different algorithm as you know when/how your report will be run, but hopefully it is a path to the solution.

you just need a formula like
{table.money_field} * 0.6175

Thanks Kostya1122. But how do I convert these if I have several currencies that are in a group? There's a Calc_Currency group which inlcudes EUR, GBP and USD. I want to sum up each of these base on the currency. What formula should I use to convert them? I used the running total and it's working fine but it's in USD though. Help please. Thanks in Advance.

you would need to know what the currency is, then in the formula you would need to convert each different currency correctly, lastly, you would want to 'save' the total to a shared variable. shared variables are like running totals, just you need to do all the work. They typically come in groups of 3 (reset, increment, display) reset is typically in a group header: shared numbervar x:= 0; "" //will hide the 0 increment is typically in the detail section: shared numbervar x; if (something) then x := x + {table.field} * conversion; (in your case "" //again hides the running total display typically in the group footer shared numbervar x; x HTH

Thanks Lockwelle. Before I go down to the shared variable, I want to get the formula for the conversion correctly. Here is what I did: Assuming these are the rates for each currency: if ToText({#Grp1Subtotal1}) = "EUR" then {ARDTLS.Calc_AgeInvAmt1}* 1.316200
else if ToText({#Grp1Subtotal1}) = "GBP" then {ARDTLS.Calc_AgeInvAmt1} * 1.601450
else if ToText({#Grp1Subtotal1}) = "USD" then {ARDTLS.Calc_AgeInvAmt1} * 1.000000 ------------ All I get is 0 from this formula. Don't know where I went wrong ??

I am assuming that the subtotal is a number (hence the toText)...why would a number have the currency in it? If the {#Grp1Subtotal1} already has the currency desiginator in it, you can change the code to something like: if Instr({#Grp1Subtotal1}, "EUR") > 0 then otherwise, formula looks fine. |

The subtotal is in dollars and it does not have the currency in it. It is placed in the Group footer of "Cal_currency".
I just put the "ToText" into it because I'm getting error as subtotal is a number.
Yes, it looks fine but it's not giving me the correct answer though :(
is there any other alternative formula that I can try?

try
if ToText({#Grp1Subtotal1}) like "*EUR*" then {ARDTLS.Calc_AgeInvAmt1}* 1.316200
else if ToText({#Grp1Subtotal1}) like "*GBP*" then {ARDTLS.Calc_AgeInvAmt1} * 1.601450
else if ToText({#Grp1Subtotal1}) like "*USD*" then {ARDTLS.Calc_AgeInvAmt1} * 1.000000
but why you're using totext if a field contains letters is should be a string already
do you have a field like currency type to use it instead of {#Grp1Subtotal1}?
