Quote Tyson Replybullet Topic: Suppressing Duplicates Per Group
    Posted: 02 Dec 2019 at 9:25am
I have a report for memorial gifts that contains the names of donors grouped by the names of the memorialized. To suppress duplicate donor names, I am using the formula: 

{GfCnAdrSal.GfCnAdrSal_Addressee}=previous({GfCnAdrSal.GfCnAdrSal_Addressee})


This works great except when the last donor in group 1 is the same name as the first donor in group 2. Then the matching name in group 2 gets removed. How can I prevent this and limit the matching to a per group basis?

Have a second criteria to check if the grouped name is the same (if not then suppress).

Can you help me with how to form that? I'm not familiar with these formulas at all.

Of course I do not know what field you are grouping on so I am just creating pseudo code.

{GfCnAdrSal.GfCnAdrSal_Addressee}=previous({GfCnAdrSal.GfCnAdrSal_Addressee})
and groupfield = previous(groupfield)
