    Posted: 26 May 2010 at 10:24pm
Hi All,
 
I've searched for the solution to this but just cannot figure it out!!!
 
I have a date/time field in an SQL database that I need to do the following with......
 
Check if it is blank/null and if it is output a string ie "No Date Set" and if not then output the date after doing some work on it.
 
the date is in dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS format
 
My problem is that I am fairly new to Crystal and cannot figure out how to convert a date to a string so that the txt can be allocated?
 
Hope this makes sense to someone....lol

Create a formula field as :
if isnull(table.datefield) then 'No Date Set' else totext(table.datefield,'dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt')
