Hi
avila139,
What kind of variable are you referring to?
When you are grouping data, your detail rows will only display the number of rows that it finds and not disply blank rows (unless you are inserting extra details sections manually like detail-a, detail-b, details-c, etc.).
For example, your table has a Store Name field and Store Locations field with as many rows as there are locations. Store A has 3 rows in the table and Store B has 7 rows in the table.
If you group on Store Name and put the Store locations on the details it will repeat the details only 3 time for Store A and 7 times for Store B (it will not display blank rows).
If all of your data is on one row and you are creating extra detail rows to handle this you can always conditionally suppress those sections where isnull({field})=true or {field}='' so you don't show blank rows in your report.
