Is it possible to suppress a subreport that is within a main report by using record selection formulas / booleans (true/false scenarios)?

For example:
If IsNull({database.field})
Then
True
Else
False


Any help would be great!
I'm trying to get around creating multiple customized reports for my department's needs.



Thanks

as related the last post, yes, it's possible.
 
depending on if 1 field drives multiple suppressions, you might want to set a shared variable and use that in the suppression because 1) it might make it easier to maintain 2) easier to read 3) I hate interrogating the same field multiple times (one would suppose that it would slow down the report)
