So I've got a report that links via an account code. Basically the table for the account has a field called "rollup", which, may point to a different account code. In the event that two accounts point to the same rollup account, they need to be reported on together. I linked my database so that a second version of the table is linked based on the rollup field.
 
I then wrote this formula:
 
If isnull({table_1.name}) then
ProperCase({table.name})
else
ProperCase({table_1.Name})
 
with the basic idea being if there is a rollup code in there I want that account's name, but if there's not, I want the original table's name.
 
The problem is, when I set this formula up, it seems to exclude null values from the data and doesn't even pull the records. If I remvoe this formula and refresh, the records are pulled again.
 
Any idea what causes this?

I guess this was caused by the join type I used. I changed it to full outer and fixed. Still not sure why...but seems to fix it.

unless you enforce the join in the join set up they are not enforced until you use values from both sides of the join (one field from each table). The major symptom of this is whatching records 'disappear' when you add a field to the report canvas.
