I have a formula that is located in the detail section that is looking for information by form# A job can have sevaeral forms or only one. If a job has several forms and has duplicate data on a certain field in that form, I want to suppress all duplication.
It works fine on the field, but not the entire section.
Example Form #1 = 4/4,   Form #2 = 4/4. 
To the person doing the work, this is redundant and takes up space. Cyrstal does not see it that way because of form #1 and form #2, but it is the 4/4 that I want to target. There are 4 fields that make up this line in the details section.
 
Any ideas.

Have you tried using the PreviousValue({field}) function to test if the previous record has the same value as the current record (and then suppress it).

Brian,
I did. I know I must not be writing the formula correctly or using the correct location to enter. This seems like what I need though.
Where would it go, and what would this type of formula look like
