   Topic: Change Signs on Numbers
Posted: 19 Feb 2008 at 8:53am |
I have created an income statement in a cross tab report in Crystal and have flipped the signs of the expense accounts so they all appear positive in the reports. I have 2 revenue accounts that I want to flip the signs on. Can someone give me the Crystal code to do that? I tried this:
{GLChart.Chart} = "701000", "701200"
It didn't work. Said the remaining text didn't appear to be part of the formula.
Thanks.

Try one of these:
{GLChart.Chart} in ["701000", "701200"] (I don't know if I have the syntax right on this - you may have to tweak it.)
or
{GLChart.Chart} = "701000" or {GLChart.Chart} = "701200"

That's the right syntax Dell. I checked it for errors and it is error free.
However, it's still not changing the signs on my revenue numbers. I am right clicking in my cross tab chart on the row and going into format editor, custom style, number and clicking on the formula button and entering my formula there. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Which formula button are you using? Is it the Reverse Sign For Display property? Also, rather than using the field name directly, I would use the cross-tab function that returns the field value:
GridRowColumnValue ("GLChart.Chart") IN ["701000", "701200"]

Hi Brian,
By the way, bought your book Crystal Reports Encyclopedia, and it has helped me a bunch in making this income statement.
Yes, it is formula button for the Reverse Sign for Display Property.
Thanks,
